Film Dweeb Podcast Episode 28: Kill Bill Release, Box Office Hits, Michael Mann’s The Insider & Hollywood Rants

Welcome to Film Dweeb Episode 28! This week we dive into the much-anticipated release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, finally hitting theaters after a decade of waiting. Unfortunately, here in Vancouver, the screening experience is pretty basic with no fancy theaters or 70mm options.

We also cover the latest Thanksgiving weekend box office, spotlighting Zootopia’s massive success and exploring other hits and misses including Disney’s rebound and Netflix’s theatrical strategies. Plus, there’s a quick look at physical media releases, from Eyes Wide Shut on Criterion to 4K offerings of hits like Fantastic Four.

I share thoughts on Michael Mann’s classic The Insider, a brilliant social drama about truth and corporate America that remains relevant decades later. There’s also a rant about Hollywood’s weird accounting, Paramount Pictures’ Robot Ninja Turtles reboot controversy, and Netflix’s bid for Warner Brothers.
