00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.280
This movie is fucking rad.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:08.880
This movie is you know how good this movie is?
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.640
Sometimes they have to bisect the screen so they can show you more images.
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.239
One screen can't contain the nine movie split screen, baby.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.559
Austin shot two whole movie split screen.
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:28.960
Split it four ways.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.280
Let's mic figus this shit.
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.640
Make it the time code of action movie.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.840
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening to Screen Generation.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.159
And yes, we are going to Mike Figus this shit.
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.799
Screen Generation is my show about the movies distributed by Sony under the label Screen Gems.
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.599
I'm your host, Devin Hughes, and today we have a good one.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.280
Today we have something unique.
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:24.000
This is a truly experimental film by a brilliant director and by a cast that embraced the new possibilities with digital filmmaking.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.920
Last week was like the warning Ian Malcolm makes in Jurassic Park.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.640
Your scientists, or filmmakers in this case, were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think of if they should.
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:35.760
This is different.
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.719
It has almost as impressive a cast, but these this is a cast of actors, which is an improvement.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.079
It also is heavily improvised, but manages to execute four intertwined narratives successfully.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.200
Timecode ends with a message that reads, Timecode was filmed in four continuous takes beginning at 3 p.m.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.599
on Friday, November 19, 1999.
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.120
All of the cast improvised around a predetermined structure.
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.519
And that doesn't mean it was done in one go.
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.240
The actors and camera crews practiced for 15 takes over three weeks, pacing the story and rehearsing it like a play without a stage.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.039
After every rehearsal, they watched the takes on four TVs and took notes for the next shoot.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:18.639
It would be infinitely easier to shoot this today, because it's almost emulating modern reality television.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.479
The real housewives shows, love and hip hop, TMZ, therapy long format shows like in treatment.
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.360
But now, when they shoot things, we have Video Village.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.719
When in this case, they shot these 30-minute takes and could only see how it looked afterwards.
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.479
And it's 1999.
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.400
These are four like wheeled school AV carts with projection TVs.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.000
Bring the mic, bring the mic, show what's going on.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.759
Oh okay, okay, just it was a short one.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:50.479
We're okay.
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:51.439
We made it.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.039
Okay, put it back.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.280
Folks, for those of you not catching the movie but frequenting the podcast, let me explain.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.080
With four cameras running, you need a shared experience for all shots to prove continuity.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.000
Q earthquakes.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.199
And despite this movie having a lot of cocaine in it, it's not a Coke movie.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.039
The Blues Brothers is a cocaine movie.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.199
Altman's Popeye, that's a cocaine movie.
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.800
Any John Claude Van Damme film is brought to you by cocaine.
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.879
Also, this movie looks horrible.
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:31.919
I mean, all early digital video looks orange and grainy, which works for like 28 days later because it's effective in simulating a documentary style, but this looks like early jackass.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.719
Helping, and I'm not being sarcastic, in the low resolution video is the split screen.
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.680
And it's a little off-putting watching a movie in split screen.
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.479
It reminds me of playing a video game with too many people.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:54.879
I can think of a few movies that do this well for montages, but the only one I can cite that does it for the full running time is Conversations with Other Women, which I'm certain certain was a quick shoot and only had two cameras, but if there's a movie to compare it to, it's that.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.560
As far as being a single take, this is a unique club to be in.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:08.639
I remember Robert Osborne giving an introduction to Hitchcock's rope on Turner Classic Movies one night, and he said the film, short as it is, was only composed of ten unbroken segments.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:18.000
At the time, technology limits the production, but being it's a single location, they hide all the cables and learn how to move the walls to let the camera follow the talent.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.079
And when I say technology limited them, there was a limit to how long you could record on film, and the camera is huge.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.759
This is solved with digital videotape and the small new camcorders.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.040
And it's still film.
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.000
Digital film.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.480
This film is like 93 minutes because that's what you could fit on DV film.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:42.560
Then they transferred it to a digital format to be stacked in a split screen, then transferred it to 35mm film to project it.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.079
It's still

a lot of work.
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:55.519
But since shooting leaving in Las Vegas, Figgus has started what would become Robert Zemeca's Steven Soderbergh and Danny Boyle's obsession, that with the smaller form factor, you need less people and are less of a public presence.
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.959
You get away with things, even experimental things like this.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.079
And everyone is currently obsessed with winners and invisible cuts nowadays.
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.240
People could really appreciate this movie.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:15.279
Something like 1917 cuts together, but you can tell with the practical explosions and visual composition that it took much longer than it's runtime to shoot.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:25.199
If we're looking for something that actually is the complete movie shot at like once, and the best example I can pull from memory's Boiling Point, which uh came out in 2021.
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:40.319
It's a cooking drama starring Stephen Graham, who must have liked the challenge because a few years later, uh he's the star, writer, and producer of Adolescence, winning a bunch of Emmys, making us hate Netflix a little less, and wowing the audiences with single takes.
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.319
In two weeks, we're gonna talk about Graham again because he plays Tommy and Snatch.
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.360
Hello everyone.
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:56.399
Uh I'm uh probably changing format a little bit just to add a little bit uh because I recorded this a while back, and being that it's gonna be coming out tomorrow, I wanted to add a little bit more like research that I did on Figus.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:08.800
Um, Figus most recently came out with Megadoc, a documentary about Francis Forti Coppola making Megalopolis, which is a brilliant move because Hearts of Darkness is an amazing doc about Boclips now getting out of control.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.879
I mean, it's also by the same director, and we know how Megalopolis turns out.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:28.079
So um also I'd like to say I forgot to mention that in my conversation with Rob Santos last week, um, Brett Ratner, who just showed up in black and white, directed the Melania documentary covering the two weeks before the first lady moved back into the White House.
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.839
And I know that sounds real exciting, but he's also cool with the president because he's all over the Epstein files.
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.360
Just want to say, two directors we've watched for 26 years, one is good and the other is garbage.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:50.639
I want to think that the Figis agency in that season of Archer is a homage to Mike with Stormy Monday and internal affairs, but I think it's reductive to put him in that genre alone.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.959
I think he's a jazz player who can read the room.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.800
Figus can play trumpet, guitar, and keyboard professionally.
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.240
He faked his way through music school, being unable to read notes.
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.160
A man with that range who loves to learn and broaden their horizons.
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:10.319
When he has a pick of any of these creative avenues as an occupation, he chooses film.
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.839
And I think that's like the charismatic jock doing theater.
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:20.319
Whereas normally filmmakers love hanging out with musicians, I think Figis might like to hang out with filmmakers.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.360
Because when I look into his filmography, you know what I don't see?
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:24.639
Music videos.
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.240
Also, he's been a professor of film in Switzerland for about two decades.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.040
He's written books on screenwriting and digital filmmaking.
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.519
It's kind of cool how much he gives back.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.839
Speaking of his book, here's him explaining how technology changed film.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.639
Now that I think of it, the word amateur isn't used very much anymore.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.560
Nowadays, everyone's a filmmaker.
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.480
There's an interesting reason for this.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.720
Back in the day, there were two very big factors that separated the amateur from the pro: money and technology.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:57.680
An amateur filmmaker shot on Super 8, a pro shot on 16 or 35mm.
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.879
The difference in equipment and cost was huge.
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:10.240
The price of a pro camera was prohibitive, and the cost of processing and post-production was so high that the only the very rich or the professionals could afford it.
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.319
But that world is now vanished, and along with the label amateur.
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.959
I suppose I moved from amateur to pro status when I made my first film in 16mm.
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.199
Then I began using 35mm.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.839
Then I began working in Hollywood.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.920
And I began to really understand how films were made by professionals.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.240
I have to say, I wasn't very impressed.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:38.799
Talking about coming up with the idea, Figus said Sony executive offered him a budget of$4 million and he had expected way less money.
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:46.240
With the production budget being so small, the rest could be spent on to recruit a solid cast of actors for what would be a quick shoot.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:52.399
In 2007, Figus wrote, Now there's no reason to prevent anyone from making a film.
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.679
The technology exists.
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.679
The equipment is much cheaper than it was.
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.559
The post-production facilities are on a laptop computer.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.679
The entire equipment to
make a film can go in a couple of cases and be carried as hand luggage on a plane.
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:11.039
There were so many rumors about Figis shooting, leaving Las Vegas in a guerrilla style with Nick Cage and character, getting in trouble.
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.279
It kind of made him notorious for problem solving.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.320
And in Roger Ebert's review of this movie, he recalled his last interview with Figis.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:26.320
I remember the gleam in Mike Figis' eyes when he talked about filming Leaving Las Vegas in cheaper, faster 16mm instead of the standard 35mm.
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.240
We didn't have to get a permit from the city or rip off the streets, he said.
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.360
We just jumped out of the car, set up the camera, and started shooting.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.159
Yes, the result was the best film of 1995.
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.759
Now he has directed a production where he didn't even have to set up the camera.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.320
Timecode was shot entirely with digital cameras, handheld in real time.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:49.840
The screen is split into four segments, and each one is a single take, about 93 minutes long.
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.000
Why does this film work?
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:52.960
How can it?
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.679
I think it's because the movie is like a jazz quartet.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:04.639
You have four players, but one element would be should be prominent, and the other three views give you like a live way to survey the geography of the shoot.
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.840
It's like the rhythm players keep you informed, and then the solo changes to a different element.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:18.080
So when I called this in black and white experimental, black and white is like a poorly sampled hip-hop beat, and time coat is like jazz.
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:30.159
After the official release, there were screenings where Figus would change the audio mix to demonstrate to the audience that the sound teaches you where to look on the screen, and by not being too heavy-handed, it gives the audience a chance to edit the film themselves.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:38.399
From his interviews, I know Figus believes these to be four independent real-time films, but there's no way to view and appreciate them independently.
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:44.240
If you're focused on one section, you might miss a third of the cast because some stories don't interact at all.
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.480
It's also fun to track musicians that become filmmakers, filmmakers that become musicians, and music video guys.
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.720
Forgive the gendering, but far more men are arrogant enough to get the opportunity to be multi-format artists.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:06.320
Not Googling just from the front line of my mind, it's Rob Zombie, Fred Durst, and the RISA, who uh we talked about a lot last week, despite him not being in the movie.
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.000
They're not the best filmmakers, but nothing's stopping them.
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.120
And uh like, how about directors to musicians?
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.279
Landman himself, Billy Bomb, Thornton.
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.360
Would I explain why it's not a hobby?
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.879
Are you reacting to the fact that I said that?
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.840
I am, I am, since you're instructed not to talk about shit like that.
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.279
Yeah, I am reacting to that.
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:23.759
Yeah.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.519
Maybe Kevin Costner.
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.120
Um let's end on a good one.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.679
Um John Carpenter, whose last film we're not far away from discussing on this show.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.120
Oh man, it's another one.
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.240
Oh shit, do you feel that?
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:34.879
Yeah, I feel it.
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.159
Oh shit, get under the table again.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:37.840
Bring the mic, bring the mic.
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.080
This is why I didn't want to build our studio on a fault line.
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.360
You know it was cheaper, dude.
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.799
Ugh, if we make it, I swear I'm gonna kill you.
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.840
I'm gonna kill you more.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.840
Wait, was that it?
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.480
Oh man, I'm sorry, man.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.639
I mean, I'm just getting a little stressed.
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.639
This is like the second time it's ruined this recording.
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.000
And I control earthquakes?
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.759
It's not this is not a long show.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.120
I I I know it's not a long show.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.080
You're not very good at it.
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.720
Dude, I'm sorry.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.919
I I'll I'll try to be better.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.799
One sec.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.600
This is a good cast, and I'm gonna cover where you've seen them before, but I did establish the concept of Londoning last episode.
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:19.919
We have another situation with time code because both Stellan Skarsgard and Saffron Burrows were eaten by sharks the year before in Renley Harlan's Deep Blue Sea.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:25.759
That was a famously troubled shoot, and I would immediately sign up for something like artsy and easy to do like this.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.240
The biggest names in this movie have the smallest parts.
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.519
I'm talking Danny Houston, Holly Hunter, Kyle McLaughlin.
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:38.320
Small parts in a small movie, and the character actors that have the bigger parts are like a who's who of my favorite people.
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:52.879
I mean, Xander Berkeley, the Michael Mann favorite, and John Connor's foster dad in T2, Richard
Edson, who I had no idea but was the original drummer from Sonic Youth, and he's in a ton, but I love him as the parking attendant that steals the Ferrari and Ferris Bueller.
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.960
Uh, you fellas I'm not gonna worry about.
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.120
I'm a professional.
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.879
Professional what?
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.440
Then we have Julian Sands, who sadly has passed away.
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.960
Um he's great in this movie.
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.159
Sands, Berkeley, and Houston all working with Figus again after shooting and leaving Las Vegas.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.879
So I think it must be a pleasant experience to work with him.
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.200
Uh the plot of this movie I do find interesting, but it's predictable.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.799
The actors were given short story beats, but were expected to improvise.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.320
And when there isn't a script, actors tend to improvise about what they know.
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.720
Acting, their careers, the industry.
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.200
When you don't have sets, you tend to use what you have.
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.360
So we'll use the production offices or the limousine, and uh let's just start walking around outside.
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.399
Actually, let's break down the narratives because I afford a cover and uh I'm gonna go quick.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.679
Salma Hayek's character seems to be an up-and-coming Starlic.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.080
In a romantic relationship with her agent, who is Gene Triplehorn.
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:02.720
Their relationship is very Selena coded, and of course, Salma needs to sleep with Stellan Skarsgard to secure a role in his new movie.
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:07.039
It's a situation where art is imitating life with fewer degrees of separation than I'd like.
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:16.240
Director's dating acting talent is a tale as old as time, and it's a power dynamic that benefits women's careers during the relationship and often afterwards ends them.
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.720
With that said, Saffron Burroughs was dating Mike Figis at the time this movie was made.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:28.000
Previously, she also starred in One Night Stand in 97 and Lost of Sexual Innocence in 99, which were both directed by Figis.
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.919
Their relationships seem to have ended cleanly, but I'm wary of filmmakers that have muses.
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.279
It's creepy, and I'm allowed to have things that gross me out.
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.840
I'll give an example that's not problematic at all.
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.879
I just don't like it.
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.919
Uh I talked early in the episode about conversations with other women.
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.799
In that movie, I think Helena Bottom Carter is fantastic.
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.279
I think she's an amazing actress in plenty of things.
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:58.480
But for like a dozen years, when she was with Tim Burton, and so little of that rolled doll hot topic bullshit they threw together is salvageable.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.559
Later in the show, we're gonna need to cover Underworld and Resident Evil.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.440
Both franchises have the heroine marrying the directors.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.919
Mia Jovovich to Paul W.S.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.360
Anderson in a good example, and Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman in a trickier example.
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.279
But we'll get there when we get there.
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.960
Back to this movie, Time Code.
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:27.360
Because Triple Horn is jealous and suspecting her girlfriend is not being honest, she, like a psychopath, bugs her purse and spends the next hour and 13 minutes overhearing the story from inside the limo.
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:33.840
Meanwhile, Saffron Burrows is trying to get Stellan's attention, and he's like, I must make my film, woman.
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:39.200
So she leaves and goes to a therapy session where she decides if whether or not she's gonna stay with him.
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:44.000
All the while, our character actors are gossiping, auditioning, and pitching projects.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:51.679
It's a fast-paced environment that contrasts the dark, quiet limo, and editing bay, which is where Stellan's kind of hiding.
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:56.080
Let's jump a little bit, but everyone so like everyone's doing cocaine.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.320
Stellan and Salma get down to lovemaking, and then Saffron Burroughs and Leslie Mann meet and begin to make out.
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.919
Uh this movie is kind of hot.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.200
I didn't expect to see that.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:12.159
Also, uh, during the scene, the lovely Argentine actress Mia Maestro pitches the premise of something similar to this movie.
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:05.119
But instead, Triple Horn brings a gun into the office and smokes Scar Scar.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.480
So I I was surprised how hard this movie was to find.
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:34.799
Uh I decided to buy everything on DVD after the Arlington Road experience, but I don't think you can stream this anywhere.
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:42.640
I was looking for a 2000 DVD release because it supposedly has the cast's first take included in the special features, but that wasn't happening.
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:50.480
I um I found this in a Salma Hayek four-pack of early films in a career, including Living It Up, Lonely Hearts, and The Velocity of Gary.
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:57.200
And I was like, it was really hard not to put a fake one in there, but I promise all of those are real.
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.400
So, how are we gonna come down on this movie?
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.759
I consider this an accomplishment of cinematography and editing.
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:10.000
The four films play a shot without need for non-linear editing, but the sound mix directs your attention.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.079
This movie is getting an eight out of ten for me.
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.440
It's going in my collection along with three other Selma Hayek movies, apparently.
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.599
This movie's like The Phantom Menace.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.000
It's cutting edge, maybe ahead of its time, but that's how visionary directors roll.
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.400
Hey, you just listened to Screen Generation.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.839
It's a podcast about the films released by Sony under the Screen Gems label.
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:31.440
I'm your host, Evan Hughes, and next week, a star is born in the boxing ring.
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.680
Play the girl fight trailer.
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.319
You and Joel again.
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.759
This is your fourth fight this semester.
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.480
You look like a loser in there.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.680
You might want to find someone who can help you deal with this.
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.160
Hey.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:05.680
Take it easy.
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.519
I want to train with you.
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.559
I want to be a boxer.
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.920
Wait out of a row box.
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.839
Am I talking to you?
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.960
There's plenty of things you could do better with your life than a box.
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.319
Prove it.
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.400
I'll train you.
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.480
You don't sweat from me.
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:21.599
You're out of my life.
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.440
100% man in the army.
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.119
And how would you know what it's supposed to be?
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.680
Oh, that's good.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.880
That's what it takes to be a boss.
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.960
Don't be sorry! Don't ever be sorry!
