Out of Frame Behind the Scenes

We watched Top Gun: Maverick and were blown away by one of the best sequels of all time. Tom Cruise delivers with a thrilling plot and amazing practical effects. But do movies like this help to glorify war? We ask this question as well as: What will be the future of drone warfare? Who is the movie's unnamed "enemy"? What made this sequel so great, and what were its flaws? All this and more on the final episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes (The main Out of Frame series will continue until August).

What's the worst Star Wars movie of all time? The best? How did Lucas shove an excessive amount of politics into the prequels and still manage to deliver a thin story of the rise of space Hitler? We discuss all this and more on our Star Wars special episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes. Also: we have an announcement. Because Sean is leaving FEE, this podcast will end after the next episode. The main Out of Frame series will continue.   LINKS: Listen on other platforms: https://linktr.ee/outofframefee  Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7  Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og  Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE  Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/  Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow  Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

Has Marvel entered a dark age? We're starting to think so after getting back from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In this latest episode, we discuss whether Marvel has jumped the shark and why this movie in particular failed. The reasons include: They ruined the character of Dr. Strange by having him make stupid decisions, the plot is all over the place, and there are no meaningful limits to the characters' mystical powers. Will any of the future Marvel releases be any better? We try to find some hope on this episode.  LINKS: Listen on other platforms: https://linktr.ee/outofframefee  Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc  Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7  Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og  Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE  Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/  Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow  Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

We found the most "Nicolas Cage" movie of all time, and it's amazing. In The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Nic Cage plays himself, gets into an adventure with the CIA, and it's about as crazy as you might think. On this episode, we talk about why this movie failed at the box office despite its crazy premise and exceptional execution. We also discuss who is the next Nic Cage, why Nic Cage is crazy in real life, and whether national-security agencies are incompetent, all-powerful, or a little of both.  LINKS: Listen on other platforms: https://linktr.ee/outofframefee  Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7  Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og  Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE  Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/  Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow  Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

Everything Everywhere All At Once, the latest A24 release, is live-action Rick and Morty, but better and less nihilistic. That's about the best way to describe this insane movie. It involves metaphysical bagels, suggestive IRS trophies, and a warmhearted family drama at the center of it all. In this episode, we talk about how this film shows that movies for adults don't have to be boring or nihilistic, how it includes gay characters without being woke, and how it uses the multiverse trope to actually convey a positive message LINKS: Listen on other platforms: https://linktr.ee/outofframefee Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7 Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/ Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is proof that the Harry Potter movies have jumped the shark. The latest spinoff has a meandering, confused plot, and its screenplay gives its cast nothing to work with. Although we regret having to watch this movie, it gave us a lot to talk about, including the strange politics of the Wizarding World, the hubris of authoritarianism, and more. Hear about all this, and our expectations for Thor: Love and Thunder on this episode LINKS: Listen on other platforms: https://linktr.ee/outofframefee Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7 Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/ Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

Sean and Jen ventured to the dystopian nightmare-world of Los Angeles to watch "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," and despite their less-than-ideal experience, the movie itself was amazing. In this episode, they talk with Paul about why this movie succeeds because it actually cares about what its fans want. It also features a positive, heroic main character who also has flaws. Who should watch this movie? Do you need to have watched the original "Sonic the Hedgehog"? Tune in to this episode for discussion about all this, as well as the death of theaters, our expectations for "The Multiverse of Madness," and more.  LINKS: Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7 Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/ Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB  Out of Frame Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/2MJ5l74k

WHAT YEAR IS IT!? When we woke up this morning, we thought it was either the 80s or 00s. Why? Because "The Lost City" is the best rom-com we've seen since those eras. Starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, and Daniel Radcliffe, The Lost City is a story of lost love, vine-swinging adventure, and reclamation. The humor was non-woke and non-forced, the plot was incredibly tight, the casting was choice, and the experience was wonderfully entertaining.

If the intent of Pixar's new release "Turning Red" was to do exactly that to its audience, then mission accomplished. We did turn red — with anger and frustration over a muddled movie. Don't get us wrong, it was beautiful and had some touching themes, but the execution made the movie feel like they copied Encanto and made it worse. Specifically, they tried to cram way too much into the Red Panda metaphor. What could have been a tear-jerking masterpiece was a one-sniffle-max passive piece of entertainment.

On this episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, our very own Daphne Posadas joins us as a special guest to discuss The Adam Project. Daphne is a Project Manager and Brand Ambassador for FEE en Español, and co-host of Económetro.      If you haven't had enough of Ryan Reynolds yet, you're in luck. In Netflix's new film, The Adam Project, there's two of him. Without spoiling too much, in 2022 Adam Reed (Reynolds) accidentally crash-lands from the future and reconnects with his 12-year-old self to save the world. Hijinks, hilarity, and heavy emotions ensue. The plot seemed incredible on paper, but the execution of the movie left us a little unsatisfied. Join Sean, Paul, and Daphne for a rip-roaring discussion on the movie, Harry Potter, and more.   LINKS:   Out of Frame series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nXUeSpxDMqznYqIjjcgLKmc Out of Frame Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5yyWoUx0nX8wr2JUe7XLUJYVuhka0j7  Out of Frame Podcasts YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiS5rEmhnLwo1IG9bgr19Og  Out of Frame Twitter: https://twitter.com/OutofFrameFEE  Out of Frame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofframefee/  Out of Frame Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OutofFrameShow  Out of Frame Discord: https://discord.gg/DxH6YGNvnB
