"To continue our halloween marathon. Most recent version of candyman. Can't this just came out this year. Candy man spoilers his spoiler alert. it's in color. It's directed by nia dacosta. Serene played by jordan. Peele shout out win rots rosenfeld and dacosta am based on the movie which is based on a story by clive barker. So this is a sequel to the original movie. It is not directly connected to the other two movies which apparently aren't really connected to each other connected to each other but i don't think they're connected directly to the first one. Oh okay so. Two and three are like on their own together. Yeah kind of standard. I see the running. Time is ninety one minutes. The budget was twenty five million in the box office. Seventy seven million. But it's still in theaters and it's still on theater at home on things like voodoo and amazon. So yes part of that. Seventy seven million Is my twenty dollars. That is paid to rent this movie. So hope you folks appreciate that in that support button on anchor so yeah if you wanna watch right now you'll have to rent it. It's not available to buy yet available to rent for twenty dollars because of the vid but you know get a room full of people and it comes out to just a few bucks each. That's true honeybee. What was your general impression of this movie. Well i okay. So when i was having a few technical difficulties and you're like watch another movie. I was shocked because i loved this movie. Okay i loved it. And i i could already tell that you were like fuck this movie so i. I can't wait to hear what you have to say. But yeah i loved this movie. I thought it was really good. I loved how they connect the two stories Like how they like they would pull like helen's like recordings on the tape recorder like little things like that. I love that shit. I think they did a great job. So i i think i just had some of the same problems ahead with the original one that the re and i thought there was like the the problems that you had with the original one i was like i would think like oh yeah. They explained that like the candy. They explained why he's the candyman will it did but they didn't because they also tell us that there's multiple candyman. Yeah but that is what explains the bees. What is that. There are multiple candy. Man's okay so the the beezer from the original and the candyman name is from the seventies reboot. What the kid in. One one thousand nine hundred seventy seven billie burke the adult man who as a kid in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven. Yeah no no. Because he says that. Sherman hands out sweets like sherman fields was had a hook like just a regular hook and actual person would have and he gave out kids candy and was accused of putting razor blades in some little white girls piece of candy and then the police found him and beat him to death and then later returned out. He'd had done it but he became became the candyman. But then we find out later that the candyman actually goes back further to the version that we've heard about grow bataille. Yeah that guy. The artist but candyman wasn't new in hundred seventy seven. He was already called the candy man. And all i see what you're saying yes. I guess it doesn't explain that you know. They just tried to shoehorn in a little bit of candy justified. The name but it still doesn't explain why the original candyman was called that. Yeah i think there's a lally a couple lollipops at the end. And that's why what's his name. The beginning we knew why the bees because he was stunned to death by bees. So yeah but i think that the like how they explained it of like all the reason why there are so many candy man's in the symbolism with like the bees and like them all working at all no. I really liked that. I thought it was good that they became part of his hive. Yeah but still then he should be the be man. Because i am. I've man i just i i. I don't know. I just think candy man. It's a great name but yeah it doesn't apply to this character and after four movies. It still doesn't really apply to this character. And then i thought just the whole thing with anthony getting transformed you know be stings him and he starts slowly transforming into i guess so even before i any sort of injustice has been done to him he starts going through some kind of transformation because of beasts deng him because because he talked about candyman but no it's because he's the baby he so he's coming back on the bay. Okay so. I think the his mother explains something at some point about. They resolve not speak of him again and merrily. Apparently this means they actually entered into a pact not to speak about him again and now that the baby has broken the pact. By digging shit up candyman can now come get him but also are our our laundromat guy. Turns out to be kind of crazy and he is actively trying to turn anthony into a new candyman. Yeah and tries to set him up to get killed by the cops thinking somehow this will make him a spirit of vengeance rather than a symbol for pain and suffering. Yeah yeah. I don't see why any of the other guys aren't already a spirit of vengeance. But apparently they're vengeance. Racial injustice is just to attack any dumb ass teenage girls that say his name in the mirror. That doesn't really seem like a proper vengeance to me. That just seems like react right. I did do a little bit of research on this movie Where i didn't yesterday on the first one but and there was a like An article that i read that was about anthony's in like The transformation basically unlike how it was even though it was supposed to be or maybe not supposed to be but from this particular writers perspective. The writer was richard newby and he was saying that anthony or that basically candyman became a. He became a force for black people because he was created by black people. Instead of like in the first movie where it kinda seemed like candyman was Or like i don't know it was a whole huge article. And i'm just pulling places but yeah but it's still basically that he was that anthony even though he was you know doing this crazy thing this horrible thing he was trying to like turn this martyr into a deity or something and like turn this martyr of who is for the sins of america was like this huge christ metaphor and it basically just explained anthony and like why what the symbolism was for him in that But yeah it was a little fucking crazy. This anthony fellow especially because in the beginning he was like you think he's such a good guy like he's you know he liked take he's talking to the guy brings him in. He tells him you know he. Hugh you think you can trust. This guy is is another thing that just makes him steam crazier in the end. You mean billy not anthony. Oh billy sorry. Yeah billy burke.

"But i also have said like if the only tool that you have available to you as a phone and you wanna make your movie maker movie on the phone like you know you. You shouldn't be stopped by technology especially today because there are so many options that are relatively inexpensive. That where you can make your movie or whatever it is that you're making on on a budget. So i looked it up it. Sixteen hundred dollars for the iphone Thirteen with one terabyte. Not gonna say that. That is more expensive than a A proper maybe murless camera or something like that but You're getting close. You're getting close in sort of in the ballpark and you wouldn't necessarily get a terabyte with the storage with one of those cameras but Certainly there's some very very good used cameras. That i would argue are going to be a much better filmmaking experience than having to use the touchscreen and the three lenses on the on the iphone so you know not having used it myself i can think speak with a a good deal of authority that they did not revolutionize the the interface and the way that people are are working with it. And i still think that you're gonna get a better experience from a meritless camera from a couple years ago Don't disagree but you also can't text your mother-in-law on any of those wisconsin so but for twenty nine ninety five or for free depending on who your provider is you might have another phone certainly a pretty decent android phone or something else out there. They could text. Your mother got one right here. I know they're awesome all right. So ben where do you exist outside of this room just wandering. The streets of sherman oaks california. You can find me at ben rog. Online dot com And you can find all my social media links more and more people keep telling me hither and yon on the various sites who tell me that.

"But i have to say the picture quality was and i mean like when you've got katherine bigelow directing greg frazier shooting. It's gonna look good. And i want to interrupt you right now. He's someone that i know is on facebook. Basically saying that what you watched also partially shot on the alexa minneola. Really they said and their attitude was like. Oh does that surprise. You does that bother. You wasn't all iphone thirteen rather and that was my thought too especially when someone is trying to do a technology demonstration and to make that claim. And i don't know if they're being sincere or if that is the reality but it would not be the first time that a we should tell greg frazier to get out of that grading room. Or who's currently grading dune the biggest movie of the year until an answer. Our question no. I mean but it surprised me that that those people would associate themselves with something. That wasn't Only open up. I don't know if that's not on the up and up but what it does tell me is that it's something that's been done many times before where The technology used to sell something was not actually the technology that you are buying and And this goes goes way back to the first time ever heard about. This was a major japanese. Our camera manufacturer using a competitor's products to shoot their commercial showing how awesome and everything was and then they only showed still photos and all the video stuff was i know was another product and going even further though I know a company that was a large japanese company that had the production company. Take a little pieces of tape and cover up the other brand of camera. That was being used so that there could be a cognitive dissidence for the For the the executive show who thought for sure that they must be using the cameras of the company. That was missing mcconnell so so it wouldn't surprise me entirely If if that's true. It is completely unsubstantiated rumor to someone who claim to know on facebook that that you know it was also shot on on something else and we'll tell you that it's seldom all about the camera it really is. It has a lot to do with what you're putting in front of the camera and people behind the camera so so even if you make something that looks It looks incredibly good for a mobile device. I going to give a solid caveat. Emptor out there. There's plenty of other stuff that you can go onto youtube and look at. That does not look like that. And i think that Well this phone is out yet so you can't really Okay well Sorry but for all other currently released products. I say I had an executive tell me. Oh we have to shoot everything in two hundred frames per seconds. So we're not gonna use this very very good camera that that we've already purchased from you. We're going to go out and buy iphones. And i just went to youtube and sent them a link to it. Okay here's two hundred frames per second on iphone and here's one hundred twenty frames per second on the camera that you already own and you tell me which looks better than they said..

"To buy one and it's a soft pentolite etc reminds me of like an old zip late like remember the zip lights from back in the day absolutely except this one doesn't create that much heat and it has four light engine control zone so literally. It's like the panels been divided into four. And you might not think that matters too much but you can do some really interesting. Sort of mixing and matching. And when you go into the fire flicker effect mode something about just having that offset of like twelve inches from one side to the other creates really realistic. Flickers like really real so you end up seeing like the shadows kind of dance around a little bit in the way they used to have to do that as you had to lights going. Now you can do it with one panel. And that's really cool and i don't actually i. I really don't go for a lot of the sort of Gimmicky effects that are built into a lot of lights days. But now it's it's basically sort of like a free thing that comes there. But flame flicker that is one of those things that used to buy a used to get a special box out onset. Houston you have a bunch of people working with standard things like fire police late few for like you know Have having a light that can emulate those things like. You're gonna use them a lot. So this is the brightest now. The brightest to buy one led soft panel on the market. It's very very bright and it's also not the most expensive it comes in about thirty three hundred bucks. If you want just the light itself then it jumps up to thirty five ninety if you want it with a case i gotta say that If you were looking at a lot of other lights out there this light still is not that big. It might get pretty big with the case. I haven't seen the case yet. So i don't know it's also realistically not shipping until the first part of two thousand twenty two so it's three four maybe five months out but we actually have it in our shop right now at red cameras and i'm here i never hear you can look at but it's not going to be here for that long but it will be coming back. I understand that there's a there's a little event going on that Very few people are gonna go into gear and that light is going to make an appearance there. But it's supposed to come back to after sending year so that's good news and then we'll we'll have it here for a little while so more people can come in and check it out and everything else. So there's the aperture nova six hundred. C is also available for preorder over at hot red cameras and Internally here we sort of nicknamed it the supernova and i think that I think the supernova is gonna do really well. It's going to be a popular light. Share wrote a great song in the ninety s. About your light. Yeah no no connection. Wow show tends so ben. it's now time for short ends.

"Maybe there won't be anyone probably okay. We've actually talked about it on the podcast a little bit because like i still have yet to sit down and eat in a restaurant since the pandemic started starting. Maybe like four or five months ago. Movie theaters seem to be like. They were very attuned to safety and going out of their way to make it as safe an experience as possible. And for the podcast i would have gone see candyman either but for the podcast. I've i i've gone to a handful of screenings and you know it's like the difference between a restaurant and movie theaters. You can wear a mask in the in the movie theater so you know you can. You can at least be safer. Yeah true i imagined. I would watch it at the light on of the weekend. Now it'd be able to see it with a crowd of people like judge their reaction. That didn't happen. That will never happen. The arc light doesn't exist anymore. It sucks yeah and we talked about this on the podcast as well in. This doesn't really have to do with the cinematography. But i think it's noteworthy about the film is that it's the first movie in history ever to have a woman of color. Direct it to be the number one of the box office which i feel two ways about on the one hand. Congratulations to nhan you and your entire crew and your whole team on the other hand. It's like it took us this long to get there and like this should have been news in like nineteen sixty eight or something like it's kind of shocking to me that it's it's taken that long. Yeah well i feel the exact same way you do about it and i. I don't think it's it's it's not the first and it won't be the last record that nia dacosta breaks so true. Truly talented passionate filmmaker. And she's going to do a of great stuff no it comes through a and it also warms my heart to think that like people who may be never saw themselves as directors who are in middle school right now are high school or going to college are going to be like oh i i can follow in her footsteps and she can be inspiration to a generation of of of more people who haven't had that specific distinction you know but it's still pretty amazing but anyway i just congratulations Top to bottom on on the movie. Are you able to tell. What are you able to say about the movie that you're shooting in ireland right now. I can tell you i. It's called cocaine bear it's Movie about a bear that finds a bunch of cocaine and kills a bunch of people. So who doesn't wanna see that. Is it like a horror film horror film. It's a comedy it's an action film. It's everything so it's being directed by elizabeth banks right correct. Yeah so it's a pretty exciting project. And i am. I'm thrilled to be doing it. That's cool while it will follow in the tradition of many enemies. Bear movie like what was it the edge where the david movie with alec baldwin and forgetting. Yeah exactly like that just like that. we'll cool. I can't wait to have you back on the show to talk about cocaine. Bear to.

"And sometimes they're the most thing or you know like it's often supposed to not draw your eye but not drawing your. I be the really scary thing in the background. But it's not even in the background. It's a reflection of the background or something. Can you talk about how you went about planning for that kind of stuff. Did it have mostly to do with figuring out what the location was or were you ever like. Oh we're in this room. Let's put a mirror right here so that we can get you know this or that or let's put a window right here so we can do the reflection and also like what was that stuff done practically or was that stuff was was it done via fax or is it a mishmash both or like. Tell me about reflections. mismatch of both it was a. I mean it's all planned. There's maybe one muir shot in that whole movie. That wasn't plan. And i think it was when he's at his mother's apartment and we like shoot the exit them walking out of the apartment in the reflection in the mirror which i think shot. Yeah which it just inspired in the moment. Thing like hey. We should do this right. And i was so good. That might be my favorite one of all of them too because it. Yeah it was just so Unexpected in that scene. Yeah and it's just you know. That was just a practical thing. It was like that just worked out in novi effects but the art gallery sequence. Obviously that's our planned like. There was a gallery hired to actually lay out that all of the artwork and the gallery and so that was it was really important to everybody that felt like a real gallery and real arkan real show like all those things should go together but also we wanted. We needed the opportunity for reflection. So those sculptures were chosen and placed where they were placed and pre-bus like so that we knew that like the neon that was One of the piece of art is a piece of neon would reflect in the sculpture when we looked at it from this way and that the obviously his piece which is a mirror placed in a specific place so that we would see other things behind it and and then the reflection in the office windows and the door and all that was pioneered like. That's all that was built so that so we could see those reflections when we wanted to see those reflections. Yeah it was really challenging but so fun and we have the best production designer care brower. Who like just is kind of brilliant about things. Like that. And i give her a credit for that because she was always great about laying things out so that they work for the blocking the sequence and it was great and then and then within that a lot of that becomes visual effects that we would actually shoot it. But there's no way to avoid ourselves The camera because we want to see a direct on so we get painted out and that's a pretty difficult process to a lot of passes go into that and a lot of a lot of work after the fact and you would have some of the shots. Correct me if i'm wrong. Where we're seeing candyman reflected are moving shots. Were you doing any kind of motion control stuff or was that stuff that were just able to do in post now. A lotta times motion controls unnecessary. Because you can just repeat your move and it doesn't have to be like they're sophisticated enough now that they can take what they need out of that and use it as long as long as you're doing it on a track and it's pretty close to what it was. I'm sure it's easier for them with motion control but most controls so time consuming that it's hard on a schedule like what candyman was to be able to do that. And it's time consuming expensive the same thing like on american pickle..

"The thing that i would definitely go see no matter what so. We went and saw a couple of weeks ago last week firstly. Just congratulations for the number. One movie in america first off second off just a gorgeous movie just you know. Just some amazing amazing work. And it's interesting because it's sort of a direct sequel to the original candyman which came out in nineteen ninety-two or i don't know if i lose my horror credit if i admit out loud that i haven't seen day of the dead or farewell to the flash the two sequels but i'm just curious how much going into candyman Were you studying. Those are the original film or the original films so not not the second too but the original one. I recall in the production office. They had all these televisions around and they just played it on a loop for weeks like with like without sound mostly so when. I was sitting at my desk whenever i was thinking about something. And i'd sort of like gays off. I would see monitor and the movie would just be playing there so i'd pick it up at different points in the movie too and i feel like it really seeped in and was kind of inspire and it's kind of nice to see it without sounding really like think about the great visuals to it. It was such a well shot movie. We really wanted this one to wanted to feel like that one. I often talk about the horror movie. Desert that was the one thousand nine hundred there. Just weren't that many great horror movies in the nineteen nineties but candyman. Whenever i would say that i would always have to make an exception for candyman. Because it's just i mean. It's kind of a gothic romance in a way. But it's super creepy. That philip glass score everything about it is just. It's so amazing. And probably like a lot of people.

"I mean they're just geniuses there there really are and that they were doing something really specific so in between film school in tim and eric. You are mostly focused on being a cinematographer where you're doing a lot of camera operation her. I know you said you didn't go down the grip path. I sometimes wonder about that. Because like a really good friend of mine who i thought was outrageously talented cinematographer. And i went to college with her. She moved out here. She was a little bit older than all of us. She was in her late thirties when she was in school with us. And she was a great cinematographer in one some fellowship and all this stuff and then when she came in and she was like. I'm not gonna lug anybody else's gear And so she gave up on being a cinematographer entirely. And i was like just say you're going to be a dp. You know i i know. Other people ilian. I have a friend named meal. Fredericks that was his mo when he first moved out. Here and yeah. I mean it can go slow. But it's it's something you were able to do right. Yeah i mean. I think i had a couple of small jobs is dp. I was shooting short films for free and things like that for friends. But you know. I like tom myself. How to make websites for awhile and i was doing that and someone once told me like. Don't work on movies in a way that you don't want to be known and i don't necessarily agree with this anymore but i think at the time i thought like. Oh i don't wanna be a grip on something because then people just think that's what i do so so you like if you end up being kind of successful as a grip and move up at the top of being key grips on giant things. And you don't move towards your actual dream. Yeah and it's i think it makes it. It's hard for people to see you in a different way..

"Say this at some point but the movie was very improvisational as well. So what we did is drake. And i sat together. We talked about how we were going to approach every scene and we just started going through it chronologically over and over again and then we started finding reference pictures and things like that and put it so we would we just kept going through chronologically and like putting everything in this database and then we started to realize like patterns and things like that and said okay well as this starts to progress in the movie you know when they're they're becoming disconnected here. Let's see how do we find a visual way to represent that so this these are the things that we but then flick fully knowing that the movie was going to be improved. I had no idea that it was improvised. And it wasn't just improvised. Dialogue was improvised blocking as well as what my question was. So were you involved in figuring out the blocking and figuring out like the choreography of each scene yet. I mean i think i was kinda put in a position where it was like. Okay so let's start every seen in a way that we can let them figure out the blocking we can let the actors figure out the blocking. Wow and we'll shoot it like that and if it's working we'll keep going with it and if it's not working like go back to square one dobie question. Did you shoot it in sequence as much as possible we shot. It seems like it would be hard to do. Something like that fully improvised without doing in sequence. Because it's sort of well what we couldn't do in sequence. We did a couple movies like this where it was all improvised. But he's very smart about giving himself versions of things and we'll just like role enrolling rolling roll and then you know like okay. Well if it goes this way then we're gonna want this version and if it goes this way we're gonna want you know. So he he would do all that. But you gotta be careful. You can't like let your whole narrative dovetailing fifty different directions like you know it's it's it's gotta stay on on..

"So what do you think like the real values that you got out of going to both the school's first of all. I think the fact that anyone has access to gear makes film school even more important. Because it's not about gear. And i think it was. It seemed like it was for me when i started and columbia. College is a very gear. Centric place you know. But i went in the days of like shooting on bull x.'s. And editing on steam backs and move your hollas and like that was actually the great thing i mean. I'm really glad that i went there. And learn that because i think that really pushed me towards cinematography even more and i wish i could remember this person's name but i remember when like sitting down with like an adviser when i first started and they're like what are you. What are you interested in as a filmmaker and i was like cinematography. I thought everybody was starting just going to be a director and you know and i said i'm interested in cinematography and they were like well. This is what you should do. Don't take any film classes right away. Take photography classes for because there's a great photography program that are too said you know. Get your general education courses done and at the same time. Take photography classes and then save your film classes for like your second or third year. And so i did that like my first semester at columbia i took photo. One have really grateful for that experience like where we would just. You know you'd get a project every week. You take just walk around the city with your camera and take black and white shots you would do them in your canister and then print them yourselves and i feel like i learned a lot about film in general and how to expose film all that and then started taking classes there where you shoot on a bowl. Lax which is like. I think every cinematographer should start by shooting on a bowl lax because it's just like the most basic version of cinematography..

"Show me a dp who worked twelve hours. And i'm going to show you an art department. Pa who worked fifteen hours on the same. Deputy hack you're so like you know because that dp showed up and the set was prepped and ready for them and then they had a company move. And you had the you know. We had to stagger people around and move stuff around. So it's like you know t to create an accurate twelve hour day. You actually have to factor in like the support coup around at the p. As the you know e everything else in those people often are working far shittier hours and you know to a degree. It's like you know a rite of passage for a lot of us to work these incredible unhealthy hours. When you're twenty two years old you know you can. You can work your body like that. But i feel like even ten years later. It's not a great idea. Now you you age a lot working. Those hours. I i know i i certainly did but hey You know what. I think that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. At least if The union really sticks to its guns they really do strike and the amp steps up and does what's right. I i think that's really what what people are waiting for. There's a bunch of other things. They need to to work on to but if they addressed hours they would get huge huge respect. I think from From from the vast majority of they would. And i mean really. This couldn't be happening at a worse time for our economy. Because it's like we're just kind of limping back into into motion and you know and so like here in. La were a lot of our industry. or a lot of our economy centers around the entertainment industry to have it shutdown right now. It'd be horrendous. But still you know.

I get that when you're in production every once in a while you're going to have to pull an all night or you're going to have to you know like we're losing this location after today and it's like if it's an every once in a while thing. I don't know anyone who isn't willing to kind of rally kind of push to get to get over that hump. But when it's just tuesday every day every fucking day is like that. It's it's just not right and you kinda go okay. Like if if i worked at a bank I would work eight hours eight to ten hours a day that would be. I would have a lunch. Yeah and i'd be sitting at a desk in an air conditioned place. I wouldn't be lifting heavy gearing moving around and it always reminds me about that old joke about The elephant yeah the the circus worker in the elephant in the the guy who has to clean up the elephants shit and he's like behind the elephant in the elephant keeps shitting on on him and at the end of the day. He's got like elephants shouldn't kicked into his hair and into his clothes and a passer-by says why don't you just quit. And he says what in leaves showbiz exactly. I feel like i feel like there's a lot of that going on where it's like you know you're you're lucky 'cause you know you get to work on. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna impugn a specific show but it's like we all know what they are and it's like look at the great jobs and it's a fun job and it and it is a calling and it is not unlike the circus but But i do think that like what i've worked on projects i remember. I worked on a project years ago. That was the most frigging humane thing but it was like all exteriors and it was shot during the winter so our days were rarely more than ten hours and it was like. Oh cool. I can actually have some energy and go home and do my laundry or you know. Walk my dog or something. Like i actually can do other things. Besides go home fall dead asleep. Wake up and coming back to your set to keep making your show. Yeah and it's i mean people think of it as as all glamorous but like unless you're the star or the director which are the stars in or even just all the cast and directors are the vast minority of the crew like. It's so many more people to to make these things. I don't think it's Insane to give them. You know eight to ten hour days like why couldn't we schedule it like that and when you're talking about like we're talking about technology companies like amazon who Obviously is not exactly the most pro union company anyway but like amazon netflix..

"Teamsters like drivers production assistance. Oh yeah yeah well. Production assistance fall under dj. Oh do they would be a thing. And it's like the dj is like i eighty second eighty second second and key and i think that is if you're if you're a professional. Pa you're eventually moving into the directors guild. You're you're you're moving in a an ad direction but to me. The weirdest one is was when i found out that. And i don't know if this is still the case somebody feel free to correct me but casting directors are part of the teamsters union. If they aren't still they were not long ago. But basically you're grips your electric's your art. Your entire art department editors dp's casting directors or part of local three ninety nine. Oh are that's the teamsters. Oh so you're right right one right. So nineteen twenty eight. So it's just odd. The casting directors are part of the teamsters but There's a joke in there about their driving us to get better talent. It's a terrible joke tonight. It doesn't even rise to the level of joke. It's sort of like three times removed. Joke but anyway. I see a dp a virtually everyone we've spoken to on. This show is probably been in hats. And so if there's an anti strike that means that like all movies all tv all everything are just going to grind to halt or be shot nonunion and that was that i was talking actually to also our good friend george fight and i was like what do you think are the chances that amputee p. gives i add to the middle finger and says we're going to go shoot in georgia where it's a right-to-work state and tires all nonunion dp and stuff. I mean the thing is like it's possible there are perfectly good nonunion everything. And they're always happen because there are people who worked their asses off in just never want to be in the union or never get into the union. But you know like any of the name brand. Dp's editors costume designers on and on and on all those people they're all in the union. So i i mean it. Effectively shuts production down. It might it might mean another boom for reality television. Which is my own private health. But i i think you might see a reality also think you might see some overseas productions. I think you might see. And i think that the the streaming services have never had to face the sort of thing before so. This is This is to be an interesting trial by fire so to speak I i can't say one hundred percent that the strike authorizations going to be approved. But i'll tell.

"A program about the art craft and philosophy of the moving image and the people who make it happen coming to you from the world headquarters of hot rod cameras in. Hollywood california are your host then rock and ilya fridman haley. Where the hell are we right now. We're inside the hot rod cameras screening room yet. We're both in the same room again. This is like the fourth time in almost two years. And and we're both masked but like i can see your eyes you can't. You're not far away from me. We're in the same room you don't have to go through an internet. We don't have to go through zoom meeting. We don't have to have any sort of special technology. We're both actually present. It's so weird seeing people in person so Who do we have on the show today. we have good friend of red cameras john ghoulish awesome dp of candyman and many other in many other movies Including light crazy.

He shot the first ever feature film on one of our modified cannon seventy cameras and then at sundance actually in front of like a huge crowd of people give me props and thanked me and for everyone for like making the film possible which was like damn i was. I was blushing. I couldn't believe so you anyway John lewis super nice guy. Super nice really fantastically talented. And i'm really excited that we finally get to have him on the show. Because there's a little bit of a backstory like. We had done an interview with john before he was allowed to talk about candyman. And then you had to pick up to pick up had pick up and i. I interviewed him in. He was in a different country and and we talked almost exclusively about candyman so It was very exciting because i I i really love his work in the new candyman movie and was the number one movie in america when it debuted too. Yeah yeah and. I think that you might hear a little bit of a difference in the the Background sound maybe between those two interviews. But all i think cuss together pretty well. Thanks to our magnificent editor. Ben cats and we'll be getting to that in just a few minutes but ben. What is our patent pending close focus. Oh my god close focus this week..

"Counts. From the Fox News Podcast Network. Rewind 9 11. Today we've had a national tragedy an incredible plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Look back at the tragedy of that day, another explosion that has taken place at the Pentagon it became very apparent that what was happening was terrorist terror. Fox News presents Rewind 9 11, subscribe and listen now at fox news, podcasts dot com From the historical Audio archives up Fox News topped the state of Israel came into existence in 1948. Although the United States was the first country to recognize Israel. They were under attack. Almost immediately, UN representative Abba Eban speaks on Israel's nationhood. It seemed to me that after 3000 years the time has arrived. To accept Israel's nationhood as a fact for here is the only state in the international community, which has the same trick speaks the same language and upholds the same faith as it did 3000 years ago. How grotesque would be an international community, which found room for 127 sovereign units and which did not acknowledge the sovereignty of that people, which had given nationhood its deepest significance and its most enduring grace, stay tuned. Hear more history as it unfolds before your ears. It's the audio Archives of Fox News talks. I'm Ashleigh to working with the Fox movie profile and look at new releases this week with Fandango's Eric Davis. Let's start with a scary movie Candyman. This one is being billed as a spiritual sequel to the 1992 film Candyman. Directed by Nia DaCosta, produced by Jordan Peele. The same rules apply in this film you say Candyman today in five times in America, and he appears, but expect some violent base to happen after that on streaming discovery. Plus, as Lily topples the world, probably my face. For documentary of the year. This is about a young girl Lily have issues like the only female in her field of Domino topping, and it's about her navigating the complexities of being one of the best in that field. I love it. I think Lily is a fantastic role model. And so I think if you have kids at home, you know, definitely. This is a film to watch with the whole family. Also, streaming Hulu has the comedy vacation friends and Netflix flips the script on a nineties classic with his all that Ashley Barkin, Fox News. The World Trade Center. People who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. There were a lot of risks involved with that operation. I just killed the number one terrorist in the world commemorate the 20th anniversary of September 11th with three new shows that remember the resilience, bravery and patriotism for our country only on Fox Nation sign up today. Happy hour on the guy Benson show. I want to mention this. You all know I'm a sports fan. I'm a Yankees fan, Major league baseball and boy. They have been Frustrating to watch this season bullpen just just brutal, far too streaky. Who knows? Maybe they'll get on a hot streak right when they need to, But it doesn't really feel like they've got what it takes. To go the distance, But teams that did go the distance featured Derek Jeter for years. At the captain Derek Jeter number to the shortstop, Five time World Series champion, an All Star 14 Times Rookie of the year when he exploded onto the scene 1996 and the Yankees won at all that year. First of five as I mentioned Over the course of his career with the Yanks. He will finally be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York tonight. And I know that there are some haters out there who just hate the Yankees in general who dislike Derek Jeter. I think a lot of that is just sort of Envy. I think most people like and respect Derek Jeter in his farewell tour, and he even got a standing ovation in Boston, right. That should say a lot. He played hard. He's classy. He represented the organization extremely well. And Some of the haters saying, Well, you know, look, he was a good leader, and he was a big face for the Yankees, and he was clutch in some ways. But did he really have a Hall of Fame career? Will he finished his career with a batting average of 3 10? Not just a member of the 3000 hit club more than 3400 hits. Over the course of that career. Of course, he's a no brainer Hall of Famer in my book. And I've got his T shirt jersey that I wear all the time. In fact, this past weekend I wore the Derek Jeter jersey out and about Was at a restaurant. And the waiter came up and said, You know, Derek Jeter has eaten here a few times. He got married in Napa, and I said, I also got married in Napa. So at least Eric Jeter and I have one thing in common. Beyond that. And the New York Yankees. Congratulations. The captain number two shortstop Derek Jeter, entering the.
