On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 53 recorded Tuesday July 4th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:09 Jonathan Stubbs - Please discuss the recent rise of studios blaming outside factors (marketing, critics) in films failing at the box office. 8:06 Tony Dingwall - With Iron Man being a massive part of the new Spider-Man film, do you think the MCU are relying too heavily on the Iron Man character? 10:40 Ryan Peabody What is your favorite John Goodman performance? 12:27 Eloy Vasquez - If they reboot the Transformers movies would Peter Cullen return as Optimus Prime? 14:36 Ulysses Mayorga - Will we see the marvel studios intro in Spider-Man homecoming or just the Sony pictures intro? 15:32 Brendan Day - Who's your favorite character on Game of Thrones?

On this installment of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 52, recorded on Monday July 3rd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:42 The Canon - Now that we have had some time to see the Mavel-Sony deal play out a little, from the outside looking in, do you think this was a good deal by Marvel? We can assume Marvel is sharing profit on some level for homecoming, we also can safely say Civil War would have been a blockbuster with or without Spider-Man, and on top of all that Amy Pascal hasn't exactly made the PR of this deal any easier. 5:58 Steve Rogers - Thoughts on the first trailer for Breathe. I've not heard anyone mention this film once even though it's Andy Serkis' directorial debut? 8:38 Angry Goats - Hey John! I hope you are doing well! My question is one that I know we've all wondered many times before. It's this: will we ever see a Real Steel 2? What are the odds that we do see one? Has it been too long? I think it's a extremely charming, heart-warming film that shocked me at how good it was

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 51, recorded Sunday July 2nd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:35 Charleston Thomas - I remember 3 months ago when Chris Evans was interviewed by Ellen, he said that he'd start shooting his part of Infinity War in May. But Infinity War has been shooting since January or February. So my question is, do you think Chris Evans has a small role in Infinity War? 5:20 Matej Viher - With many movies now taking inspirations from the same parts of history (WW2) or legends (Arthurian legend), do you believe that at some point Hollywood will explore other lesser known events. Personally I'd love to see the siege of Szigetvar put to the big screen. 9:50 Joseph Powell - Hey John been watching your show from the amc days and this is my first question, do you think Jared Leto's performance as the joker was so poorly received because of his inability to portray the character or was it David Ayers inability to get the best out of him as a director? Thanks for

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Thursday June 29th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:3:38 Michael Pement - Hey John, I have a question for tomorrow's The John Campea Poscast. Lionsgate just released the first trailer for the My Little Pony movie. My question is, is this movie coming out a bit too late? I don't watch My Little Pony, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's nearly as big as it was a few years ago. Will people pay to see it in theaters? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.6:19 Jon Wheeler - Hey John, as a fellow poker player, what are your favorite poker or gambling related movies? Mine is Rounders, hands down!7:53 Tom Perkins - do you think we will ever see Han, Luke and Leia share the screen again? Granted it's quite difficult now with Han Solo's demise in the TFA and the passing of Carrie in December. But with CGI used in Rogue One for Tarkin and the Princess, do you think we could ever see a return of this technology in a future film, perhaps

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday June 26th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:Tristan Durant - Do you believe that just to throw the 1 to 3 percent of the nerd audience off about Zendaya's character in Homecoming she really is Mary Jane? My theory is that her first name is "Michelle" and her full name is "Michelle Mary-Jane Watson," she'll shed the Tom boyish exterior a little by the end of the film, dye her hair red or at least a streak of red, and we'll hear her say to Peter the iconic line "Go get em tiger." Sam Macias - What are your thoughts of an Watchmen series on HBO? Tony Willis - Film vs digital? Gage Lee Sweeney Do you have a favorite pick as to who could play Carnage in the Venom solo film?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday September 5th 2016) John talks about the following:1) Ann’s dad 2) John Williams concert3) New schedule with joining Movie Talk Again FAN QUESTIONS:Philip Dagostino writes: Hey John, really excited you’re making your triumphant return to movie talk this week,but as a long time fan I have to ask: why do you keep leaving and returning? Isn’t this like the 3rd time? Are you sticking around this time? Not trying to give you a hard time, just really needed to ask.Chris Warden writes: What up John? I hope you & Anne had a great summer. Is there any chance you can publicly debunk this rumor going around that Suicide Squad needs to make 800 million dollars at the worldwide box-office just to break even? I personally can't see any studio head greenlighting a film project that needs to make that much to break even as the risk is just too high. John Michael Klobuchar writes: What are your thoughts on people who say Star Wars The Force Awakens, will rec

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday August 8th 2016) John talks about the following topics:1) Delays on Gambit2) Jimmy Smits appearing in Rogue One FAN QUESTIONS:Winnie Cooper writes: Hi John, I wanted to get your unique perspective on an angle of the DC vs Marvel critical reception that I haven't heard anyone talking about specifically. And that is the critic/audience approval ratings difference for Marvel and DC movies. Let me show you what I mean. When you look at critics vs audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes for Marvel films they are pretty much in lock step, with most of the films at 0-5% difference between critics and audiences. In fact, in 13 movies only one (Thor 2) has a double digit difference (of +12% for audiences), with Marvel movies averaging +1.77% for audiences. But the differences are drastic with DCEU movies. +20% audience approval for MoS, +38% for BvS and as of the date of this email a whopping +47% for Suicide Squad. That's an average of +35% audience rating for D

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday August 3rd 2016) John is joined by writer/director Jon Schnepp and together they discuss:1) Suicide Squad thoughts2) Rotten Tomatoes petitionFAN QUESTIONS:Rox Baicea writes: I know you liked Suicide Squad, but judging by what other people are saying I feel like half the things we've seen in ads, trailers and behind the scenes footage are not in the movie - Joker slapping Harley and her pointing a gun at him, Joker throwing a grenade and disappearing into the background, the line where he says "I can't wait to show you my toys", Joker patting a black case, Joker looking at his phone, Harley choking her bat like a gun, the scene where she asks everyone what they'd like to drink - apparently none of these things are in the movie. My question is how can we explain this? Why would WB release an incomplete Suicide Squad movie after releasing an incomplete BVS movie and being criticized for it? A Klay writes: Does The Jungle Book have a shot at being an

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Tuesday August 2nd 2016) John talk about the following:1) Channing Tatum in SPLASH remake2) Suicide Squad3) GSP coming back to UFC?FAN QUESTIONS:Kathy Lin writes: Considering MOS (which i love, made me love superman), kick-started the DCEU, i cant help but feel sorry for HC and superman, getting pushed aside in favor of batman. HC's superman just don't get enough love with many hating his superman portrayal. His performance was so forgotten and underappreciated by many with many calling him a bad, bland, wooden actor. Lately, i read that WB suggested having HC to be Tarzan but David Yates didn't want him because of his high profile. I cant help but think of the number of projects he might have missed out on because of his fame or 'infamous' as the cinematic superman everyone in Hollywood seems to dislike or care about. As much as i love him as superman and very excited with the DCEU, but i'm worried for his career. Thoughts? Tom Shotter writes: I listened

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Saturday July 30th 2016) John is joined by Collider Video's own Wendy Lee and together they talk about the following:1) Sausage Party thoughts2) Spoiler news about Suicide Squad3) The following questions from the listeners:Patrick Sowemimo writes: I am a big fan of your reviews and always value your opinion before seeing a movie. My question for you is the concern I have for the Flash and Arrow tv series. Both shows are great but a major concern I have is that the heroes always question every decision they make and it really gets on my nerves. when it was introduced I liked it because it kind of made them relatable but as I kept watching it showed a lack of character development because if a hero questions every decision why did they become heroes in the first place. Brian Knight writes: After all the great trailers and teasers from Comic Con, both DC and Marvel, and the poor showing at Star War's Celebration does Disney and Lucas Films need to put out a tr

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday July 27th 2016) John talks about the following:1) People making excuses for some not liking Gal Gadot’s acting2) Other Comic Con Trailers3) No Charlie Hunnam for Pacific Rim 2 (John Boyega)4) The Joker isn’t Jason ToddFAN QUESTIONS:After Comic con and Star wars celebration I have been hearing many stories of people waiting over 7 hours and still not get in to see certain panels. That is a really long time where you could be doing something else and enjoy the rest of the convention. Personally, I find this to be one of the biggest reasons to separate the cons. I get the allure that everything is in one place but is it worth it if all you get to see is one thing all day. ~RaymundoI know you are a huge fan of the TV Flash, which I am as well it's my favorite comic book TV show, my question is do you think Flash are becoming over reliant on Speedster villains? and do you think it could put casual fans off watching the show because it's the same formu
