Summary
On the February 21, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman to gather around the virtual water cooler and talk about what they’ve been up to.
Opening Banter: I wanted to read just a couple of listener emails before we get started.
YiFeng from Boston wrote in responding to our discussion about Moana 2 being converted from a TV show into a theatrical feature film that’s coming out later this year. I was expressing concern about that, but YiFeng reminded me in this email that Toy Story 2 was originally being planned as a direct-to-video release, but ended up getting revamped for theatrical.
Sue from Colorado writes: Your reviews of old films are always interesting, and I was thrilled to listen to your review of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir this week. It’s been my all-time favorite movie for decades – a lovely blend of romance, comedy, history, ghost story, and drama, along with having a wonderful score. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, too.

| 0:02.2 | It's probably not as Incognito as you think. |
| 0:04.8 | Google recently settled a $5 billion lawsuit |
| 0:07.5 | after being accused of secretly tracking users in Incognito mode. |
| 0:11.4 | Google's defense? Incognito does not mean invisible. |
| 0:15.2 | In fact, all of your online activity |
| 0:17.1 | is still 100% visible to a ton of third parties, |

| 0:46.0 | It is literally one click and you're protected. |
| 0:48.6 | It works on a ton of different devices, your phone, your laptop, your tablet, and more, so you can stay protected anywhere. |
| 0:55.1 | And it's been rated as the best virtual private network by respected tech reviewers like The |
| 0:59.0 | Virge and CNET. |
| 1:00.8 | I don't like the idea of anyone spying on my internet activity for all kinds of reasons |
