On the February 29, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about some of their favorite sci-fi sequels.
Opening Banter: Full disclosure, this episode might be chaotic. I had several plans for a themed Leap Day episode, and every single one of them ended up falling through, leaving me scrambling to come up with something to do at the last minute. But Ryan suggested we talk about some of our favorite sci-fi sequels in honor of Dune: Part Two, and since that movie actually does seem big enough to justify multiple episodes about it (or at least episodes that are ostensibly related to it), that sounded like a good idea to me.
In Our Feature Presentation:
- Ryan’s favorite sci-fi sequels
- 10 Cloverfield Lane
- Aliens
- Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
- Ben’s favorite sci-fi sequels

On the February 26, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend’s box office numbers.
Opening Banter: Listener email from Sampson Dewitt: Hey gang, listener from Florida via Spotify. On Thursday’s episode, ya’ll discussed the cost of releasing movies to theatres and referenced the “print” cost possibly not applying. I was hoping you can elaborate on this: are the movies we see in major theatres no longer shown on film? One of the key reasons to go to a theatre for me is seeing the movie on film (similar to listening to music on vinyl as opposed to digital), so this would kind of be a bummer.

On the February 22, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the latest film and TV news.
Opening Banter: Listener email: Lance asks: There is a new kids movie on Paramount+ called The Tiger’s Apprentice. It’s a really solid movie with a good cast, including Michelle Yeoh. My question is, in a stretch between Migration and Kung Fu Panda 4, why does something like this not go to theaters? People that love taking their kids to the movies or kids having birthday parties don’t have anything right now, and this would have been perfect.

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.
