| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to Slash Film Weekly. It's Wednesday, November 5th, 2025. On today's |
| 0:04.6 | episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the latest film and TV news. We're going to talk about the latest film and TV news. We'll have a spoiler-filled conversation about begonia and we'll present an interview with the director of The Conjuring Last Rights. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slashfilm.com and I'm joined in this segment by slash film staff writer Ryan Scott. |
| 0:22.3 | Hey, hey, everyone. |
| 0:22.9 | How's it going? |
| 0:24.0 | Ryan, it's great to I'm an editor at slashfilm.com and I'm joined in this segment by slash film staff writer Ryan Scott. |
| 0:22.3 | Hey, hey, everyone. How's it going? Ryan, it's great to have you back on the show. There's just a lot of |
| 0:27.1 | news for us to get into here. So let's jump right into it. So Taylor Sheridan has been hired to |
| 0:32.9 | write and produce the new Call of Duty movie for Paramount and Peter Berg is going to be directing it. |
| 0:40.8 | And I think we talked about this a little while ago when Paramount decided that they were going to be making a call of duty movie. |
