Opening Banter: Someone actually wrote in a question for Chris. In Advice Corner with Chris Evangelista: Jacob Chandler from Mississippi writes in: “Hey guys! I have an advice question for Chris and whoever else happens to be on the show. I listened to your response about film writing and whether or not you need to go to college to make it in that world. I have a follow up question about filmmaking itself. I’ve debated for a while on whether or not I need to go to college to be a filmmaker. I am currently taking a break from college now to think it over. I’m not sure if all the thousands of dollars in student loans and such is worth an education I could get myself from research and self application. Plus I have also heard that getting jobs in this field is similar to writing in that no one looks at your gpa or what college you went to. They look at your previous work. Can your answer on getting into film writing apply also to filmmaking as well? Or am I just crazy and I should pay the cost to get the career I want? Thanks so much! I hope this becomes a regular segment.” In The News: Chris: Jason Blum Horribly Explains Why There Are No Female Blumhouse Directors (Yet) Ben: ‘Fast & Furious’ Producer Neal Moritz Sues Universal Over ‘Hobbs and Shaw’ Chris: ‘Real World’ Reboot Coming To Facebook Watch Ben: ‘Annabelle 3’: Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga Will Play the Warrens in Spinoff Sequel Chris: Potential ‘They Live’ Sequel Teased by John Carpenter All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.

0:24.0	Hello.
0:25.0	Okay, so I believe it was last week we did a mailbag segment where we gave some life advice and somehow it came about the idea of doing a
0:36.3	segment called the advice corner with Chris Evangelista and that kind of took off.
0:42.2	We actually got some emails from you guys wanting to

1:07.0	if people like the segment we'll keep on doing it.
1:10.3	I feel like we need a disclaimer with this where it's like you need to like I don't want to give advice and then someone goes out and does something terrible and they blame like it should be like you don't have to listen to this bite advice. There's nothing binding about it. This is all a suggestion.
1:26.1	We need some sort of disclaimer to cover my ass in case someone.
1:30.8	Someone misinterprets my advice and like goes out and robs a bank or something.
1:35.0	And then they try and blame me.
1:37.0	Well, it's not like this first piece of advice is low stakes, Chris.
1:44.6	This one is about this guy's entire future.
1:47.9	So, uh, so, so, uh, so, prepare your words, uh, you know words properly.
