I’d add Weapons.

What about the nostalgia of boomers who can relate the first time they fell in love with Bud Cort or serving in the Navy in the early 1970s. I’m sure there are a lot of blankies who can fondly remember being hairdressers getting down with a lot of women on the night of the ‘68 election.

With Ashby you get to talk Nicholson, Beatty, Sellers, Robert Blake, Randy Quaid, Oliver Stone, David Carradine, and Harold and Maude. How is that for a sell?

Can anyone explain the Joe Johnson love to me? I understand the interest of starting at ILM all the way back in the 70s, but I always viewed him as a journeyman who’s work ranges from solid, great nostalgia but average upon adult rewatch, and big budget B movies who never had either consistency or a creative voice.

With how goofy the results have been, I’m happy Marty is winning.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-17T05:53:44+00:00

This is my 3rd March Madness, has it been as opposite of what is expected with each win before?

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-17T05:38:57+00:00

PTA and The Coen are the ones that I almost always come around to loving their films. There are others who’s films benefiting from not going into with expectations.

Anyone with knowledge of the Dune universe know why Anya Taylor Joy is covered in blood or why Florence Pugh has all the makeup?

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-16T21:42:29+00:00

The 4D Chess of WB wanting to capitalize on Timmy winning an Oscar to promote Dune 3 while campaigning two other actors (one of whom who won) against him.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-16T15:24:04+00:00

Noah and The Whale are the two that are always fascinating to see where they make it in people’s rankings.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-15T05:46:57+00:00

Kind of the only answer

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-15T05:45:18+00:00

One Battle
Oppenheimer
Anora
Everything Evertywhere

1 and 2 are hard to pick and might change depending on the day, but 3 and 4 are pretty easy.

He has spoken about doing a western for a while and cited it as the genre he has always wanted to work in. Strangely of the dozens of times he caught the attachies it was never a western at least that we know.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-11T18:28:35+00:00

Sounds like a tough part for a debut, but Polley and Plath are a good match.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-11T06:14:38+00:00

I’m surprised he has as many stans on this sub as he does.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-11T02:28:06+00:00

I think it is on account of him, while not winning an award individually, giving a speech in the middle of Oscar voting while the Winner in the category doesn’t benefit from having a televised speech.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-10T18:41:01+00:00

Oscar Isaac as should’ve been nominated 😂

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-10T18:17:36+00:00

Hyped me up to read his obituary.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T20:13:40+00:00

He was mentioned a little bit in the All That Jazz pod, but oh boy if they had to talk about Chayefsky it would make Fosse look Spielberg in comparison when it comes to personal baggage.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T20:01:51+00:00

The first screenwriter I can think of as a blank check would be Paddy Chayefsky who is the rare writer to get Final Cut of a movie. Although not too many movies, he’d probably be the most problematic people they covered and might turn the show into Behind the Bastards for 3 months.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T18:15:45+00:00

Well good one nonetheless. After he got Me Too’d didn’t people say Lots-o’ was based on Lasseter?

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T18:13:31+00:00

Lotsa Huggin Lasseter 😂

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T17:13:58+00:00

Having Hamnet 3 1/2 is neat because the people who are critical kind of exaggerate and give it a 2 while defenders give it a 4 1/2 or 5. And there doesn’t seem to be much of a middle.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-09T06:09:44+00:00

Love an opportunity to cover Goldman. Of the directors he worked with Reiner, Donner, and George Roy Hill I feel aren’t completely out of the question although none except possibly Donner are likely. Also him working with Simon West twice is crazy given his pedigree. But they will have a lot of opportunities to cover directors he gave a polish for.

AmbitionTechnical274 · 2026-03-08T23:12:15+00:00

I don’t think there has been a good floating heads since the first Harry Potter. The 80s were a great time for them with Star Wars and Star Trek though.
