Well, hey, greetings and salutations, I really welcome back to the channel for this installment of

open mic where the mic is open, the floor is yours to talk about the things you want to discuss in this great big world of movies, movie news, TV,

and stream. Whatever topics you have, that's what we're here to talk about here today.

I'm of course your host, John Campia. I'm joined in studio today by Ray Orr. That's bra baby. He was

watching that damn boat fight video that's going viral today. Beside him is

Jonathan Voico. I've been listening to baseball and building Legos.

And I have of course you don't get it.

And here's how you can get a topic or question on the show.

There are two different ways.

The first way is if you're watching this video any of the 23 hours of the day that we're not streaming live,

you can use our tip link simply at stream elements.com slash John Campia slash tip.

The second way is if you are watching live you can use the super chat feature and if your topic or question is well you know

Appropriate to be used on our show. We'll address it here now

Before we get into your topics and questions is something I wanted to go over here today

You know what if my favorite outlets or at least it's quickly becoming one of my favorite outlets is IndieWire

Really solid excellent news outlet.

They're great covering the entertainment industry.

Anyway, they put out an article today

that thought was really discussing

the front runners for the upcoming Academy Awards in the area of visual effects.

Now you might say to yourself it's a bit early for that isn't it and you'd be right.

I mean we're only sitting in August there's still a lot of movies come out this year
