Summary
On the April 25, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer Bill Bria to gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been watching lately.
In the Water Cooler:
- What we’ve been Watching:
- Bill saw Hereditary in IMAX, the first two Maze Runner movies, and Cool as Ice.
- Ben caught up with The First Omen and Immaculate, watched all of Conan O’Brien Must Go, and saw Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.
- Listener e-mail: Lorenzo from Sarasota, FL, wrote in about our recent episode where we talked about our favorite vampire films. Lorenzo says “both of my favorite live-action vampire movies were mentioned, but my number 1 favorite vampire movie is actually an animated movie, and I wanted to give it a shout out: The Batman vs. Dracula.” He calls it “underseen and underrated,” and explains that though it’s set in the continuity of an animated series called The Batman that debuted in 2004, “the film is a standalone story that can easily also be enjoyed even without the context of the show.” He says it’s “atmospheric and creepy,” it stars Peter Stormare as the voice of Dracula, and it even gives us Vampire Joker, with Tom Kenny’s Penguin basically filling the Renfield role and delivering comedy gold throughout.”

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily. Today's Thursday, April 25th, 2024. On today's episode of the show, we are going to gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what we've been up to. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slash film.com and I'm joined on today's episode by slash film staff writer Bill Bria. |
| 0:16.0 | Paula. |
| 0:18.0 | Bill I wanted to have you on primarily because you had a chance to see a specific movie in IMAX last night that I wanted you to tell me about. |
| 0:25.0 | But I figured we could also make this sort of like a mini water cooler episode and talk about a few other things that we've been watching as well. |
| 0:31.0 | But first up though, tell me about what you saw last night. So last |
| 0:34.2 | night I went to the AMC Universal City Walk to see Hereditary in IMAX which is part of |
| 0:42.4 | A24 in IMAX, which is part of A24 in IMAX's series of IMAX re-re releases, a screening series they're calling it, |
| 0:48.5 | in which they starting last month in March with X Machina and continuing with the hereditary this month and then for each month for the rest of the year |
| 0:56.9 | I believe they plan until a year from when they started so I think maybe until next March of 2025 |
| 1:08.0 | They're going to be showing what are their classics in IMAX in the format, remastered and re- what do they call it? |

| 1:16.9 | his debut film which I've seen many times before and adored because I'm a |

| 1:35.2 | screens in Los Angeles where I'm based which have the generally the full one by |
| 1:41.4 | 43 to one ratio of the screen. |
| 1:45.4 | So it's like true gigantic. |
| 1:47.2 | True gigantic. |
| 1:48.2 | I guess there's maybe a bigger one. |
| 1:50.8 | If there's a regal somewhere out and I don't know if it's in Cino. |
| 1:53.7 | No, it's maybe further out or something, but it's, there's one that's maybe slightly bigger that's in California, |
| 1:57.9 | which is prohibitive to drive to, but generally these are the two biggest ones in the city. |
