Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters (Movies He Didn't Make)
30 Aug 2024
01:03:48
On the August 30, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about what we’re calling Steven Spielberg’s close encounters.
Movies that were eventually made, and not just ones that he considered making, but he seemed to actively work on in some capacity before not directing. So “Night Skies,” his sci-fi horror movie that would have been a spiritual follow-up to Close Encounters, does not count because that was never made and therefore we have nothing to judge.
Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies
White Lightning
California Split
Cruising
The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings

The Great Debate: Is Martin Scorsese Belittling Superhero Movies?
04 Oct 2019
00:27:03
On the October 4, 2019 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film managing editor Jacob Hall and writer Chris Evangelista to debate Martin Scorsese’s recent comments about superhero movies.
While doing press for The Irishman, Martin Scorsese said the following about superhero movies: “I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being."
The Question: Is Martin Scorsese belittling superhero movies and those who make and enjoy them?
The Rules:
Only one person can speak at a time.
When the speaker is out of time, they must stop talking.
Personal insults are not allowed!
We are all going to be friends when this is over.
Opening Statements:
Peter (One minute)
Chris (One minute)
Round One:
Peter: Scorsese is insulting the thousands of people who work to create this form of art. (Two minutes)
Chris responds (One minute)
Round Two:
Chris: Scorsese isn’t even saying superhero movies are bad. (Two minutes)
Peter responds (One minute)
Round Three:
Peter: Scorsese’s remarks come from a place of ignorance, not informed intelligence (Two minutes)
Chris responds (One minute)
Round Four:
Chris: The comparison to theme park rides is actually apt. (Two minutes)
Peter responds (One minute)

I hate to bug you, but the recent podcast conversations about disc rot & backing up physical media have some misinformation that I'm hoping other listeners will write in and correct, but here are my corrections:
1. Hollywood/MPA issue commercial discs that are copyrighted protected by CSS, AACS, BD+, ROM Mark and probably many more techniques. You can't insert a disc into your computer and use a file explorer and just copy the disc - you will get an error.
2. If you want to backup ANYTHING from the disc, you will need to bypass copyright protection by using tools such as Redfox and DVDfab. Please note that at the time of this writing, US DMCA laws stipulates that you *DO* have a right to backup, but the tools used to rip discs are illegal, which is why all of them are from outside of America:
It's a bit of a gray/catch-22 type of scenario. Just a warning there.
3. Handbrake.fr is only a tool that will re-compress & shrink your disc files. For example a Blu-ray may contain a movie file that is 35 gigabytes, but you can use Handbrake to compress that down to 10 gigabytes - that is what the tool does. Handbrake and compression tools do *NOT* rip discs as they do not bypass the copyright protections put in place by the MPA.
Basically the net sum is it is extremely small and that study encompassed computer CD ROM (beyond just movie discs). If anything, the disc qualities of today's Quality Assessment far surpasses that. I'd wager to say it's probably less than 1% if the library of Congress performs a study today. Most of the time, if you read the study, the rot has to do with users storing in high humidity, non-environmentally controlled locations. If you care for it, the disc will outlast humanity. It is (after all) plastic and we all know now that plastic is basically not going to degrade for hundreds of years (green issue is another whole separate conversation). Are there manufacturing errors? Absolutely, but they are extremely miniscule. Here is an example from Criterion below, but they still offer the program to replace the discs:
Hopefully, this clears up some confusion. Quick summary is you can rip but you'll need to bypass copy protection, and disc rot is basically a non-issue.
Actually, that brings up another interesting point:
Let's say you are Warner Brothers and you have the full uncompress filmmaker files of the camera capture or dcp on your servers, THOSE FILES WILL ALSO ROT even if they are on server/enterprise-grade hard drive!
There needs to be a process of not just making backup copies, but double checking that the data they have and also the backup copies are still not impacted by the rot. CURRENTLY, most enterprise data technicians do NOT have a process to account for data-rot. 99% of the enterprise companies do not even think about that.
Yes, they have backups, but if your original is rotted and you back up the rotted data, both your originals and your backed up copies are all junk because no one is opening the files to verify if the backups are still legit and clean. Maybe AI will help to protect against this, it can be done... but there is an added cost to make this work. No one is willing to foot the bill for it.
In other words, even backed up copies of movie media are subject to rot, just like physical nitrate/film negatives!

Box Office: Godzilla x Kong, Dune: Part Two, and a Listener Recommendation
01 Apr 2024
00:25:37
On the April 1, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office expert Ryan Scott to talk about the box office numbers from this past weekend.
5 Reasons Godzilla X Kong Obliterated The Box Office
Godzilla X Kong Pushes The MonsterVerse Past $2 Billion At The Box Office
Dune: Part Two Crossed Yet Another Major Box Office Milestone
Madame Web Is Hilariously Short Of A Box Office Milestone, Adding Insult To Injury
Clear rundown of the box office top 10
Look ahead to The First Omen and Monkey Man
Listener email: Hey Ben! I was listening to you and Ryan on the podcast talking about disc media rot and just wanted to share with the class that there is a good computer program for taking a DVD or Blu-Ray and creating a copy of the contents on your computer. You can transfer all the properties of the movie, including subtitles, etc. The application is called HandBrake. Computer files are infinitely duplicatable, so you could put as many copies of the same movie on as many hard drives as your heart desires.
Obviously, this program could be abused and used for pirating movies (don’t use it for that!), but as long as you are only creating digital copies of movies that you bought and paid for and only for personal use, everything is kosher. Thanks! - Alec
