Summary

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday August 3rd 2016) John is joined by writer/director Jon Schnepp and together they discuss:1) Suicide Squad thoughts2) Rotten Tomatoes petitionFAN QUESTIONS:Rox Baicea writes: I know you liked Suicide Squad, but judging by what other people are saying I feel like half the things we've seen in ads, trailers and behind the scenes footage are not in the movie - Joker slapping Harley and her pointing a gun at him, Joker throwing a grenade and disappearing into the background, the line where he says "I can't wait to show you my toys", Joker patting a black case, Joker looking at his phone, Harley choking her bat like a gun, the scene where she asks everyone what they'd like to drink - apparently none of these things are in the movie. My question is how can we explain this? Why would WB release an incomplete Suicide Squad movie after releasing an incomplete BVS movie and being criticized for it? A Klay writes: Does The Jungle Book have a shot at being an Oscar contender? I feel like it absolutely deserves it based on its groundbreaking visual effects and it's strong direction and writing. However, I fear that it will be overlooked. Thanks!John Feinstein writes:As I'm sure you've noticed, the early Suicide Squad reviews were pretty negative, and that kinda brought everyone's spirits down. However, now that Jeremy Jahns has given the movie a pretty good review, a lot of his fanboys are flocking to anything Suicide Squad-related, saying things like "Jeremy said it was good, so fuck the critics." I would love to hear your thoughts on these people who seem to hold one man's opinion in higher regard than the opinions of 50 certified RT critics. (No hate for Jeremy, I just don't think he's the messiah of movie reviews) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
