FilmFloggers w/ Sean from Review It Yourself Podcast

Ben from FilmFloggers and Sean from Review It Yourself team up to take on a topic that will undoubtedly endear them to listeners' and other podcaster's hearts: CGI.

The expected 30-minute run time turns out to be wildly ambitious for these waffling pair of c---- (retracted by Sean).

Ben and Sean try to understand why CGI has become as prevalent as it has by taking on some of the worst CGI imaginable.

Check Out The Fabulous Sean here: Review It Yourself

Are You A Tight Arse? 

Discussion Points:

-Sean tries to weigh the pros and cons of CGI.

-Tom Cruise films. 

-Mummy Action.

-THAT Scorpion King CGI.

-The toll stunts have taken on actors/actresses' bodies. 

Relevant Questions:

-Did the cost of insuring actors make the rise of CGI inevitable?

-Are the priorities of modern film-making wrong?

-Did The Mummy Returns (2001) lose the charm of The Mummy (1999)?

-Does bad CGI take you out of a film?

-Was Titanic (1997) the 'last hurrah' for practical effects?

Irrelevant Questions:

-Is Ben regretting giving Fiona control of FilmFlogger's Instagram? 

-Can Sean brighten up Ben's mood?

-Is Sean's American accent getting any better? 

-Is Sean's British accent worse?

-Who is worse, Dakota Fanning or the kid from this film?

-Has Sean been dreaming about Tom Cruise?

Quotes:

-"If you can't make it look good, just leave it alone".

-"Oh God, I'm going to side with you now; God, it's finally happened".

-"Lord of the Rings came out the same year"-Ben makes a devastatingly good point. 

-"Whinge-Fest is probably more appropriate for us".
