Since Tarzan or Toy Story 2 might not get covered for Class of 99, what are your brief thoughts on those movies? They were the first movies I ever saw in the theater at the age of 2.

Could Alita: Battle Angel be considered a Junkfood cinema must, and where does Rodriguez rank on the Junkfood Cinema master list?

Hey Brian and Cargill, Huge fan of the show. My dad and I recently watched Thank God It's Friday on a whim and enjoyed the hell out of it. I have two questions for you guys, the latter of which you can ignore if it's too personal: 1.) What is the best advance screening experience you two have ever had? 2.) I'm a recent college grad (BFA in Film) who's kind of in a rut and unsure about what to do next. Jobs I've applied to have either ignored me or rejected me, and living at home doesn't help my mental state. What did you guys do if you were ever in a situation like mine, and would you have any advice for someone who wants to get into the industry but doesn't exactly have the mental strength and persistence to get out there and make myself known? Like I said, please feel free to disregard the super personal/deep second question if you guys don't wanna answer it. Thanks for all the great episodes, and thank you for helping my weeks (and movie-watching ventures) brighten up a bit. All the best, Zach

Zachary Marsh

Oh shoot, I got one more question: What did you guys think of the slate of movies offered in the Summer of 2019, and are there any in particular that you'd consider either doing an A La Mode or a full episode on in the near future? I'd personally love to hear you guys talk about films like Booksmart, The Dead Don't Die, and The Art of Self Defense, among others, but only if you guys really dug them.

As it's the first mailbag in a long time, what are both of your thoughts on Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood"?

Josephine Allegretti

Most inappropriate or hilarious needle drop you've ever seen in a film?

Adam Charles

What are some things you learned from watching movies that you think most people would have learned in school?

Adam Charles

Being in a romantic frame of mind from the Notting Hill ep, what’s the first movie-related gesture your significant other did for you that clued you into them definitely being the one?

Adam Charles

With the announcement of Matrix 4, whether you’re excited about it or not, is there a title from the Class of ‘99 (or just a title from ‘99 in general) that would get you interested if you heard it was being revisited?

Adam Charles

I’m a monster TOOL fan, so the new album release is a huge deal for me. I’ve always considered their song / album compositions being very applicable to film scoring. Is there a band or artist that never got into film scoring or constructing soundtracks that you wish they would consider some kind of project to be involved in?

Mae

How fucking good are the Thin Man movies? Seriously, what’s better than William Powell and Myrna Loy?

Kyle Voltti

Ok my Junkfood overlords, since the His Dark Materials series is about to get the prestige tv series treatment what other previously adapted series would you like to see a new adaptation of?

Mae

Junkie reply, best response I’ve ever had is seeing Sinister with Cargill in attendance. The best advice he gave was “Watch bad movies. You’ll learn more from watching movies make mistakes than you will watching masters practice their craft.”

Jeff Garcia

I’d like to go to Fantastic Fest next year. What are some tips? How many days should I take off from work? What badge should I try to buy? Etc.

Eric LeBaron

Now that there are more platforms than ever before to watch movies. It seems to me that there is a larger potential for great movies to be lost and forgotten. Are there any flims from the last few years you are afraid might be forgotten? For example I really loved Better Watch Out, but it's basically only available on Shudder so it's a very limited group of people who'll see it.

JC

Can we have more a la mode episodes?

Andy

What movie do you wish you could Re-review, with a fresh perspective on the film

George Crock

Why is Disney against allowing their back catalog of films to be shown in for profit reparatory theaters?

Dan Alexander

What makes a good parady/meta film? What are your favorite?

Johnny PHreak

If there were only five Chuck Norris movies to watch what would they be? What movies from 2010s would you like to do a full episode on?

Shane

I'd love to hear you dudes cover High Fidelity sometime, but it's a 2000 release. Any good 1999 preludes and/or '99 hits with Cusack, Cusack, Black, et al?

Corey Jackson

What do you guys think of so-called "intellectual" celebrities like Bill Maher and Marc Maron shitting on superhero films and their audience?

Andrew Youngquist

In the Mummy episode you guys mentioned that the Mummy 99 was essentially pitched as Indiana Jones meets the Mummy, a mashup of the two series/genres. If you could, in our world of endless remakes/re-imaginings, remake another of the old Universal Monster movies, which movie would you remake and what other genre or series would you mash it up with?

Timothy Rooney

Feelings on the flick, "Armed and Dangerous?"

jeff hunter

Are there any odd or obscure comics you think have the potential to be good movies or tv shows mine would be Lazarus from image it's kind of like the show into the badlands but the family's assassins are genetically altered and there are 16 families so more stories could be done

Derek Koger

What are your top 5 Junkfood Movies That You Must Show Your Kids (Or Nieces/Nephews) When They Get Of Age? In other words, R rated flicks and below.

Derek Koger

I'll throw another one out there, since we haven't had an Ala Mode on it this year...yet: Thoughts on Stranger Things season 3?

Darren Sands

Halloween Kills/Ends. Should they kill Michael Myers and Laurie Strode once and for all?

Rick

Do you feel that “cold opens” in movies are needed or can you just drop into the story without it?

Gun Nuts Films

One more time “Love Death + Robots” on netflix have you seen it? Also Cargil have you seen the original on there “I am mother” I thought you’d get a real kick out of it cause it’s a new take on Robots in the apocalypse

Rick

For Cargill - listening to old Mailbags, you tease but never told the story of how Uwe Boll saw you naked. So, what happened when Boll saw your birthday suit?

Banned Library

Still making my way through, just got to the Princess Bride episode, and I have to ask when we are getting an episode on Out of Sight, my favorite romance genre flick. My entry to Elmore Leonard was reading Get Shorty as a novel because I read movie novelizations (including Gremlins 2, Back to the Future, and Wes Cravens New Nightmare as a few I still have), not knowing Elmore wrote novels, and it became a love affair. Any talk of Elmore including Justified, Hombre, 3:10 to Yuma, or Jackie Brown would be awesome, but damn that hotel scene in Out Of Sight.

Zachary Marsh

I have no idea if you guys have recorded this mailbag yet, but hey, here's one last question to throw into the pot: I just saw that apparently "very famous" people in Hollywood are discussing the possibility of a remake of The Princess Bride, adding to the ever-growing list of "pointless remakes of beloved classics." I personally believe that Hollywood should, instead of remaking good movies to mostly mediocre/bad results, try to remake something bad from the past and turn it into a modern classic-in-the-making. That got me thinking: what are movies that either you think are just terrible or waste a great concept that you think would benefit if someone remade it?

Jakub Durasko

Did this mailbag ever happened? I dont see any post
