Call for Questions for KJB Q&A 9
Added 2023-08-31 09:28:11 +0000 UTCWe're starting a new season, and so we're gonna kick it off with another Q&A for next week's bonus! I'm not gonna even really gonna prompt a theme here. What do you want to know? Is there anything you want to get our thoughts on?
We've answered a lot of questions in our time so don't worry if yours doesn't get picked- a lot of the time its because we've already answered something similar in an earlier Q&A episode
Comments
i think more often than not its intentional, its when you write a character as if they were queer without making it explicit. classic disney villans like Scar and Ursula are good examples (Ursulas design is even based on a drag queen) a lot of times, esp in older movies, this is done bc you arent allowed to put queer characters in the film but you still want some kind of representation. you give the characters traits or use tropes that are assosiated with being queer, like the "found family" trope which is relatable to a lot of queer people who were disowned or have poor relationships with their family and had to essentially find one themselves.
Jon, it hurts
2024-03-28 03:40:05 +0000 UTCHi. 53-year-old cishet guy here. Usually I know enough about queer culture to follow all references. However, lately I've noticed—in multiple podcasts—frequent references to queer coding in cinema, and I don't understand it. From the context, I've been able to glean that it's (sometimes? usually? always?) unintentional, but beyond that I don't understand what it means, because the shorthand is just too opaque. Is it a sort of unconscious semiotics? I'd appreciate any elaboration.

2024-01-04 00:49:24 +0000 UTCEveryone: Any intent to definitively rerate some of the older bonds? Your view of the SCUM system has changed a lot since original inception, and a lot of the older films had slightly lower ratings anticipating others would be worse. Also we need Cars 2 no notes.

Ezra
2023-09-06 18:59:25 +0000 UTCYou mention your notes a lot during the show, how do you make good notes about a movie while watching without writing too much so you get distracted, or too little so you don't know what it was you meant?

Claire
2023-09-04 22:05:35 +0000 UTCThere haven't been many awards given out in the last few episodes. Are there any worthy receivers of a goodnight (Kuryakin) cross, Kronsteen rosette, or Brian Cox award for the Stallone Sprint?
Emilia Chick
2023-09-04 17:48:33 +0000 UTCMy question is: I'm doing a 24 hour Amityville Horror Movie Marathon to raise money for the homeless charity Crisis UK; could you please give it a mention? The link is justgiving.com/page/24-hours-in-amityville and I can't express either how grateful I would be for this nor how much these movies are going to suck.

2023-09-04 04:14:35 +0000 UTCFor the N64 Goldeneye game, Shigeru Miyamoto - somewhat uncomfortable with the violence - suggested it'd be nice to have a scene where "at the end of the game, you got to shake hands with all your enemies in the hospital." Which movie would be most improved by the addition of that scene?
Jørgen Lund
2023-09-03 23:38:18 +0000 UTCIf you had to rewrite the script to give an ambiguous ending to a film that’s been on the pod, forcing the audience to read the subject matter as symbolic rather than literal, which film would you do it to?

The January Storm
2023-09-03 19:15:22 +0000 UTCI respect that Sylvester Stallone is a working actor but is there any particular reason why you didn't mention the numerous accusations of (alleged) sexual assaults and domestic abuse against him? Usually when it's a working actor I respect that Abi has to remain professional but I was a bit thrown off to hear Dev and Alice speaking so positively about him. I also respect you guys probably didn't know so I'm also commenting this to make people aware. Love the pod thanks for giving me the will to live through the god awful job I just quit.

2023-09-03 18:26:48 +0000 UTCI don't think it would make a exceptional episode, but I would love to hear Alice give her reactions to the 1979 classic "The Odd Angry Shot."
Dave Blanchard

G M
2023-09-02 03:37:32 +0000 UTCWhat's the worst portrayal of a trans woman that you've seen in cinema? I'd say Detective Einhorn in Ace Ventura, but Sean Young's acting wasn't the problem, so much as it was the script. I'm also a cishet guy from Ohio, so, WTF do I know?

John Bowler
2023-09-01 22:28:22 +0000 UTCWhat is your favourite drinking oath/curse (non-alcoholic drinks could/should also be enjoyed Vikingily). My favourite I was introduced to by a group of Swiss (?) girls following a weekend spent in Berlin’s most disorienting Techno clubs was translated to me as [all moving your cups around as you chant this]: “to the middle; to the tits; to the balls … drink”. I fear something is lost in the translation

A half-orc guard is sitting on top of a treasure chest. Inside the chest is a key that unlocks the door to the north, beyond which is a stage where George Lazenby is about to admit to the most cancellable activity the forgotten realms has ever known. What do you do?

Sophie the Bookworm
2023-09-01 12:00:44 +0000 UTCThe Return of Captain Invincible, of course, notably features Christopher Lee as a Bond villain and/or immortal demon. (It also features a lot of bad ideas and inscrutable editing, admittedly.)

2023-09-01 11:54:16 +0000 UTCObviously not for the Season of Solidarity but for future seasons do you plan on highlighting specific actors or just keep it film series/genre specific? This is my roundabout way of asking you to watch Get Carter since I'm desperate to hear your take on it

2023-09-01 06:39:06 +0000 UTCGiven how well you responded to the Australian's in Speed Racer, do you have any Australian Films you enjoy/would want to do on the Pod? Australian cinema has a fascinating relationship to all the elements of S.C.U.M; Gallipoli, The Adventures of Priscilla, The Castle, Murial's Wedding. Plus I'd love to hear Tom and Demi come on and have to explain to you Larrikinism and Aussie Ennui

With Abigail setting the precedent, will you do more episodes where the hosts watch different cuts of movies? The hilarity of doing say "Blade Runner" with that set up would be legendary.

Jason Young
2023-08-31 17:04:11 +0000 UTCDo you feel that there was a fundamental change in the tone and nature of Action Movies following 9/11, and if so, how would you characterise it? (Background: My ex-girlfriend and I had a debate about the ways in which you lost the kind of movie where the villain is a renegade Evil U.S. Military Guy but the protagonist is an uncomplicatedly Good Agent Of American Imperialism, and instead got more movies where the villain is a Devious Foreigner but the protagonist is a Gritty Conflicted Agent Of American Imperialism who does evil things which are portrayed as necessary.)

Chad Countiss
2023-08-31 16:22:54 +0000 UTCwhat historical period, *pre-1850*, would you most want to see a james bond movie be set in? we are talking paleolithic to early industrial revolution, any area of the world, and bond can either have time traveled into it or be a sort of sui generis manifestation of the bond principle inhabiting a person from that place and time.
God's Eepiest Soldier
2023-08-31 16:22:07 +0000 UTCI like this idea. I'd listen to that with furious vengeance.
The Project Project
2023-08-31 15:47:31 +0000 UTCN.B. If you do watch "Predestination," and I hope you do-- I really can't recommend it highly enough-- understand that you'll need to carve out a couple hours to actually *watch* it. It's like "Memento," in that you can't let your attention wander.

2023-08-31 15:46:39 +0000 UTCWeeb question primarily for Dev but open to the others as well. Favourite JoJo part, protagonist, Jobro and arc?
Andrew Finch
2023-08-31 15:46:04 +0000 UTCHave you considered doing a miniseries on "loose canon" cop shows? Maybe one or two iconic episodes each of Magnum PI, Hunter, T&T, Rockford Files, Mannix, Ironside, CHIPS, Kojak, Miami Vice, Hawaii-Five Oh, Mike Hammer, The Commish, Nash Bridges, and then maybe end it with something good like Barney Miller and Due South? (There's probably Brit/UK shows along these lines, but all we ever got in Canada from the BBC was the comedies.)

majorenglishesquire
2023-08-31 15:41:30 +0000 UTCHello! First, I want to recommend a movie I think all of you would like: "Predestination" with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. A film with multiple time loops about a woman who fathers themself, it has a lot to say about identity and was MASSIVELY slept on. It's beautifully paced, well-written, very well-acted, and will hopefully make you think; If you chose to do an episode about it, just as a palate-cleanser, I'm sure the response would be positive. (2) For Devon: Please, could I ask you to read my name in the Patreon thank-yous as "Jay Arr Roloff?" You have the last name right, but I'm not a 'junior' in any meaning of the word; I'd be quite grateful. (&) If each of you were, for whatever reason, drafted into A National Intelligence Apparatus©®™, what role do you think you could fill? Conversely, if you wished to sabotage from within and *appear* to be fully on board, how would you go about it (cf. Ian McCollum's "Elbonia")? Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for this work. You've taught a tubby old cishet truck driver quite a bit, and I'm grateful. ~J.R.

Dan Hunt
2023-08-31 15:22:59 +0000 UTCProper question: How would you kill John Rambo? Or would the masturbatory nature of that film universe make it impossible? Other question: Are you guys planning to have Tom and Demi back? Mike Myers did Cat In The Hat. I hear Demi is somewhat of an expert.

2023-08-31 14:54:03 +0000 UTCPersonally, I would not mind a Weekend at Bernie's ripoff, some sort of roaring rampage of ridiculousness with the Police Squad style of humor. Weekend at Bond's: Dr. No Time to Die: Another Day. Let's be honest and use the corpse of this character like we are using the corpse of the franchise!
Joyous Uwu
2023-08-31 14:51:53 +0000 UTCWe have killed James Bond (even if it was all just in his North Korean torture delusions). However, capital demands resurrection in some way. There is no rest for the wicked, and our titular sex pest is no exception. After season two and roaring into season three: Now you are the author of all ya' pain! If the franchise must go on but you could choose how to continue, how would it continue? Would James Bond become a zombie, a clone, non-binary or even a woman (A WOMAN)? What sort of plots would you choose now that you have become that which you despise?

By 2026, one of you has disappeared. Their name has been stricken from all records, their voice scrubbed from all podcasts, their image replaced by a cartoon dancing bear.

How do you think you are going to go about doing liveshows in the future? Are you going to be limiting them to special series like you did with the Austin powers ones, or special episodes like the end of Bond one? Any plans to try and revisit a No notes Bond on a liveshow perhaps? Anyway, love the work you all put in and hope i can go to one of the liveshows in the future. Separate question for Alice (November? Not sure if that name is out of Playtest yet), can you unblock me on twitter, my boyfriend sent me one of your tweets and i want to see what it was, Thank you.
