THANKS DALENCIA TIME RIGHT NOW FOR A LOOK AT WHAT’S NEW IN THEATERS AND STREAMING THIS WEEKEND. AND OUR FILM CRITIC, LAUREN VENEZIANI IS JOINING US LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES. THANKS FOR BEING HERE SO EARLY. IT’S EASY TO GET UP HERE, JEN, BECAUSE YOU KNOW I LOVE LA. IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES IN THE WORLD IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND I’M ALWAYS DOWN TO TALK MOVIES. SO YES, HAPPY TO CHAT. I WANTED TO MENTION THE FALL GUY THAT’S GOING TO BE IN THEATERS NEXT WEEKEND ON MAY 3RD. STARRING RYAN GOSLING AND EMILY BLUNT. IT’S AN ACTION ROMANCE FILM ABOUT A STUNT MAN TRYING TO REBOOT HIS CAREER AND IT’S HE’S TRYING TO FALL BACK IN LOVE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE DIRECTOR PLAYED BY EMILY BLUNT, RYAN GOSLING IS THE STUNTMAN. IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF THE YEAR. IT’S A MOVIE FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE MOVIES, AND I GOT A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH RYAN AND EMILY FOR THE FILM. JEN. IT DOESN’T GET ANY BIGGER THAN THIS. HERE’S A CLIP OF MY INTERVIEW FOR THE ACTION ROMANCE FILM THE FALL GUY. THREE. TWO. ONE ACTION. YEAH. SO GOOD. GOOD GOOD. GOOD. SHOT TO THE HEART AND YOU’LL TELL ME, DARLING, YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME. HI, I’M LEE AND RYAN. I’M LAUREN WITH DC FILM GIRL. COM AND. OH, HI. YES. OH. HAVE YOU GOT A DRY, COOL POSTER? THANK YOU. I GET A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THIS ONE, BUT YES, I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT ONE. IT’S LIKE AN ART PRINT AVANT GARDE ONE. YES. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TWO OF YOU ON THIS FILM. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. IT’S GOING TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF THE YEAR, AND YOU TWO WERE FANTASTIC IN IT. SO, SO EXCITED TO CHAT ABOUT THE FALL GUYS. YES, I PARTICULARLY LOVE THE SCENE WHERE COLT GOES INTO, YOU KNOW, TOM RYDER’S HOME AND HE HAS ALL THIS MOVIE MEMORABILIA IN THERE. AND IT GOT ME THINKING. DO EACH OF YOU HAVE SOME MAYBE WARDROBE PIECES OR PROPS FROM PAST FILMS THAT WERE PARTICULARLY SENTIMENTAL TO YOU THAT YOU STILL HAVE TODAY? EMILY? DO YOU? I GOT I GOT ONE OF THE PARROT UMBRELLAS. I GOT ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL ONES FROM MARY POPPINS, MARY POPPINS IS PRETTY, AND I LOVE THAT. IT’S PRETTY SPECIAL. I’D SAY THAT’S ONE OF MY MOST TREASURED STONE. ANNE. NO, I WAS GIVEN. NO, THE PROPS DEPARTMENT DID DID GIVE ME. I’M NOT. NO, YOU LOOKED AT ME A LITTLE ACCUSATORY AND I WAS LIKE, WHOA. YEAH, YOU THOUGHT I SNUCK IT. YOU THOUGHT. I THOUGHT I SLUICED IT OUT. NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. AND IT’S ALL ON FILM. IT’S ALL ON FILM. WHAT DID YOU STEAL? WHAT HAVE YOU STOLEN FROM? I DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING. I HAVE, I HAVE MY CAR FROM DRIVE. YOU DO? YEAH. THAT’S SO COOL. WELL, THAT’S SO COOL. I LOVE THAT. THAT’S LIKE. THAT’S ICONIC. TO HAVE. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TWO OF YOU. I LOVED THE TOM CRUISE REFERENCES. OBVIOUSLY EMILY AND MIA, THE REST OF THE CINEMATIC COMMUNITY ARE WAITING FOR THE EDGE OF TOMORROW SEQUEL. I KNOW YOU’VE SAID YOU’RE GOING TO DO IT, BUT I WILL BE. WE’RE ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS. ARE YOU YOU I DON’T KNOW, WE’LL SEE, WE’LL SEE. CAN I GET IN THAT SEQUEL? I DON’T KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO AUDITION FOR THAT ONE TOO. I KNOW I CAN’T. OH, MY GOD, RYAN, AUDITIONING WITH YOU AND TOM, THAT’D BE FANTASTIC. CONGRATS. I’LL DO IT. THANK YOU. BUT YOU COME IN WITH, LIKE, A FAKE BEARD AND MUSTACHE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS. OKAY, GOODBYE. BYE. I COULD HAVE CHATTED WITH THEM ALL DAY. THAT INTERVIEW, THAT WAS JUST PART OF THE INTERVIEW. THE FULL INTERVIEWS ON MY YOUTUBE. BUT IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND YES, I OBVIOUSLY I KNOW YOU LOVE EDGE OF TOMORROW. I WOULD LOVE A SEQUEL, BUT WE’LL SEE IF HER AND TOM CRUISE WILL EVER DO IT. I MEAN, THEY NEED TO DO IT. IT’S A GREAT MOVIE. IT’S ONE OF THE BEST ONES, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY’VE DONE SCI FI WISE. BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE FALL GUY. SO THE ORIGINAL FALL GUY IS IT WAS IN THE 80S. OKAY. AND THAT STARRED LEE MAJORS. AND IN EACH IT WAS EPISODIC. SO THEY WOULD SOLVE LIKE A MYSTERY. IS THERE ANY OF THAT IN THIS ONE OR IS IT JUST STRICTLY STUNT MAN ROMANCE? NO, IT’S DEFINITELY A MYSTERY AS WELL. AND I’M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. THEY DEFINITELY PAY A LOT OF HOMAGE TO THE SERIES, BUT THERE IS A BIG MYSTERY AND KIND OF LIKE THRILLING, KIND OF ELEMENT INVOLVED. SO I’M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS MOVIE DOES HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. AND RYAN AND EMILY ARE SO GOOD. DEFINITELY ONE TO SEE ON A BIG SCREEN. NEXT WEEKEND WHEN IT’S IN THEATERS. OH, I’M SO GOING TO SEE THAT. ALL RIGHT. WHAT IS CHALLENGE YEARS OKAY. SO CHALLENGERS IS THE NEW FILM THIS WEEKEND STARRING THE ONE AND ONLY ZENDAYA AND HONESTLY, CHALLENGERS MIGHT NOT ONLY BE MY FAVORITE FILM I’VE SEEN THIS YEAR, SO FAR, BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF ALL TIME. I’M COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE, JEN. I’VE SEEN IT TWICE IN THEATERS. ZENDAYA PLAYS TASHI DUNCAN, WHO’S A FORMER TENNIS PRODIGY TURNED COACH, AND SHE’S MARRIED TO A TENNIS CHAMPION. HIS NAME IS ART DONALDSON, PLAYED BY MIKE FAIST IN THE FILM AND TENSIONS RUN HIGH WHEN ART IS FORCED TO FACE OFF. PATRICK, PLAYED BY JOSH O’CONNOR. ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS WHO WAS HIS FORMER BEST FRIEND WHEN THEY WERE TEENAGERS, AND ALSO TOSHI’S FORMER BOYFRIEND. SO THIS WRITER, JUSTIN KURITZKES, WROTE THE SCREENPLAY. HE DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF FLESHING OUT THESE COMPLEX CHARACTERS WHO ARE ALSO JUST COMPLETELY ENTERTAINING. I LOVE THAT THIS STORY IS AN ACTUAL LOVE TRIANGLE, AND YOU CAN SEE WHY ZENDAYA’S CHARACTER IS ATTRACTED TO BOTH OF THE GUYS, AND WHY THEY ARE COMPLETELY INFATUATED WITH HER. I THINK THIS IS DIRECTOR LUCA GUADAGNINOS MASTERPIECE, AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO LOVED THE FILM CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. ZENDAYA IS KIND OF LIKE IN HER VILLAIN AREA. SHE’S GROWN UP FROM THE DISNEY CHANNEL, Y’ALL. LIKE SHE IS SO GREAT IN THIS FILM. PEOPLE ARE GIVING, YOU KNOW, SAYING OSCAR BUZZ ALREADY, BUT ALSO THE SCORE IS A MASSIVE PART OF THIS FILM. IT’S ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE SCORES WRITTEN FROM TRENT REZNOR AND ATTICUS ROSS. THEY DID THE SOCIAL NETWORK, GONE GIRL, TWO OF MY FAVORITE COMPOSERS. THE SLOW MOTION SCENES, IF YOU IF YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO BE A TENNIS FAN OR SPORTS FAN TO SEE THIS FILM, BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU KIND OF WANT TO BE AFTER YOU WATCH THE FILM. IT’S SO GOOD. UM, BUT I’M JUST HERE FOR THE INTENSE GLARES, THE SLOW MOTION ACTION SHOTS. I’M HERE FOR IT. IT’S MY FAVORITE FILM OF THE YEAR. IT’S DRAMATIC, ROMANTIC. IT’S STEAMY, IT’S EMOTIONAL, AND IT’S VERY, YOU KNOW, SURPRISING IN A WAY. AND I PERSONALLY LOVE THE ENDING. I’M GIVING CHALLENGERS A FIVE OUT OF FIVE. IT’S MY FIRST FIVE OUT OF FIVE OF THE YEAR. ACTING’S PERFECTION. SCORES PERFECTION. CINEMATOGRAPHY AND THE STORY. IT’S JUST A VERY ENTERTAINING FILM. IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. ONE, I LIKE THAT THAT SOUNDS REALLY EXCITING. AND THEN ONE THAT LOOKS A LITTLE I HEARD THAT IT COULD BE A LITTLE HORROR LIKE, IS IT IS THIS TRUE DEAD BOY DETECTIVES? YES, DEAD BOY DETECTIVES IS THE NEW SUPERNATURAL FANTASY SHOW ON NETFLIX. IT’S ABOUT TWO BEST FRIENDS WHO ARE GHOSTS AND HAVEN’T PASSED INTO THE AFTERLIFE YET BECAUSE THEY’RE INVESTIGATING SUPERNATURAL THINGS AROUND THEM. I SPOKE WITH THE CAST AND SERIES CREATORS, ONE OF THE CREATORS WORKED AS A PRODUCER ON THE SHOW SUPERNATURAL. SO IF YOU WERE INTO BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, UM, THERE’S A LITTLE KIND OF TIE INTO THE SANDMAN TO THE NETFLIX SHOW THE SANDMAN AS WELL. THIS, THIS SHOW IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU. IT’S JUST A VERY, VERY FUN QUICK WATCH. AND I THINK THAT IT’S GOING TO DO REALLY WELL ON NETFLIX IF I GET A LOT OF THESE, LIKE, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THAT I LOVE BUFFY AND THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. SO I WATCHED ALL EIGHT EPISODES AND IT’S DEFINITELY A VERY FUN WATCH AND IS HERE LIKE SORT OF ON A DOWN NOTE BECAUSE THIS, THIS IS GETTING A LOT OF BUZZ, BUT BABY REINDEER APPARENTLY IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. SO YOU GO LITERALLY WAS DARK. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY BABY REINDEER IS THAT SLEEPER HIT THAT’S ON NETFLIX RIGHT NOW. IT’S BEEN ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU’VE BEEN SEEING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT. BUT YES, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY IT’S NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IT’S BASED ON A TRUE STORY ABOUT THIS WRITER COMEDIAN WHO KIND OF BEFRIENDS THIS WOMAN. BUT EVENTUALLY SHE ENDS UP STALKING HIM, AND IT KIND OF JUST GOES BACK INTO THE TRAUMA FROM HIS, YOU KNOW, LIFE YEARS BEFORE. ALSO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHY SHE IS LIKE THIS. IT DEFINITELY TAKES A DARK TURN. THE KIND OF STARTS OFF LIGHT AND FUNNY, BUT THEN A VERY, VERY DARK TURN. BUT THE ACTING IS INCREDIBLE. AND WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE SHOW IS IT’S DEFINITELY ONE THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE I COULDN’T LOOK AWAY LIKE I HAD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THAT VERY END EPISODE IN THAT VERY LAST SCENE, THERE’S JUST A WHOLE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARACTERS AND WHY CERTAIN ONES DID WHAT THEY DID. THE WRITING IS, IS JUST HONESTLY INCREDIBLE. DEFINITELY A GOOD SLEEPER HIT TO WATCH. BUT YES, YOU HAVE TO BE IN A CERTAIN MOOD TO WATCH IT. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. YEAH, AND THE TWIST ON THIS ONE IS THAT THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS THE THE MAIN CHARACTER THERE, THE ONE WHO GETS STALKED BY THIS WOMAN, IS THE ACTUAL PERSON THAT THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO. YEAH, THERE’S SOMETHING IN THERE ABOUT THAT. I MEAN, LIKE, IT’S IT’S KIND OF LIKE A TWIST. SO THAT’S WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. AND I MEAN, IF YOU GOOGLE THE STORY, YOU’RE GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT. SO I WOULD KIND OF SAY MAYBE GOOGLE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO KIND OF REMAIN SURPRISED, MAYBE YOU KNOW, GOOGLE AFTERWARD BECAUSE THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I DID. AND IT’S JUST A CRAZY, INSANE STORY. WOW, THAT SOUNDS REALLY WILD. LAUREN. ALWAYS FUN TO SEE YOU. SO EXCITED YOU’RE OUT THERE IN LA. ARE YOU INTERVIEWING ANYONE ELSE? COOL COMING UP? YES, I’LL BE TALKING TO THE CAST FOR BACK TO BLACK, THE NEW AMY WINEHOUSE FILM, AND ALSO KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. I’LL BE TALKING TO THE ACTORS FOR THAT NEXT WEEK. THAT’S AWESOME. HAVE FUN OUT THERE, LAUREN, THANKS SO MUCH. AND YOU CAN FOLLOW LAUREN, KNOWN AS DC FILM GIRL, ON FACEBOOK, TWITTE
