In the News: Chris: Apple Plans on Releasing Six Movies a Year For Oscar Consideration HT: ‘Toy Story 4’ Will Be the First Pixar Movie in Decades to Not Feature an Animated Short Chris: ‘A Quiet Place 2’ Will Explain How That Whole Monster Situation Happened HT (og Ben): ‘Hunger Games’ Prequel Movie Officially in the Works at Lionsgate, Based on Upcoming BookPeter asks “has there ever been a great prequel?” Chris: Jon Turteltaub Will Direct a ‘Crazy Eddie’ Movie, Instead of Giving Us the Third ‘National Treasure’ Movie We All Crave In The Mailbag: Troy H writes in: “Hey Peter, Just want to say I am loving the videos on your YouTube channel, and still loving the podcast and listen to every episode without fail. The content about theme parks is valuable as my wife and I are travelling from Australia to visit Orlando and Anaheim in August to visit all the parks so all the insights and tips are gonna help immensely. I have resigned to the fact that I will be spending an insane amount of money in Batuu doing all the stuff in your videos. I have added to my watch lists and watched so many movies and TV shows based on recommendations from your team and value their diverse opinions on all genres. You are absolutely right about Cobra Kai, that show is amazing! Can’t wait for season 3. Some questions for the mailbag: Have you ever watched a movie which on first viewing was terrible, but subsequent viewings showed it to be much better? For me it was Clear and Present Danger, it was a yawnfest in the cinema but loved it when I watched it years later on DVD. Is there a movie that everyone raves about, is critically acclaimed but you personally found it to be boring/average? For me it was Usual Suspects. It was “okay” but not a masterpiece in my opinion. Keep up the great work.” Peter: The Lord of the Rings films, Deathproof, The Prestige, Batman Begins, Fargo HT: Good Time, Blade Runner Chris: Eyes Wide Shut Other Articles Mentioned: All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.

What Are Some Good Elevated Horror Movies, If That’s Really Even a Thing? Ghostbusters, Warner Bros & Movie Theaters with Beds
On the June 7, 2019 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film weekend editor Brad Oman, senior writer Ben Pearson and writer Chris Evangelista to discuss the latest film and tv news, including Ghostbusters, Warner Bros, 79ers and movie theaters with beds. And In the Mailbag, we’ll talk about the appeal of elevated horror films. Opening banter: Brad is in Los Angeles and will be attending the Ghostbusters Fan Fest. In The News: Brad: Sigourney Weaver Returning for ‘Ghostbusters’ Sequel in 2020, Bill Murray Seemingly Involved Too Chris: WarnerMedia Streaming Service Could Cost as Much as $17 Per Month, Would Include HBO and Cinemax Ben: ’79ers’, A Comedy Described as “Goonies For Adults,” Will Be Directed By ‘Blockers’ Director Kay Cannon Chris: This Swiss Theater Replaced Its Seats With Beds, Changes Sheets After Every Screening In The Mailbag: Matt from New Jersey writes in “Hey, Love the show, and really enjoy what each one of you bring to the podcast. Great stuff! My question is geared toward Chris. I've never been much of a horror fan. That is, until the likes of Hereditary, The Witch, Us, and (hopefully) Midsommar. The thing is, I don't see myself enjoying the majority of horror films as much as I have these recent ones. Every time I talk to friends about these movies, they think I'm some kind of horror fan all of a sudden, but I really wouldn't consider myself one! My question is: what is it about these films that you think makes them more enjoyable to non-horror fans? I'm thinking it's the deeper themes woven throughout the films...something that lacks in a lot of other horror films I've come across. I may have just answered my own question as I write this email... Anyway, thanks for all you do!” Peter’s follow-up question: what are some other good elevated horror films to watch? Other Articles Mentioned: There’s No Such Thing as an “Elevated Horror Movie” (And Yes, ‘Hereditary’ is a Horror Movie) All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.
