Back in 2022 I listened to all the episodes of Sardonicast while animating on Robot Dreams. And now we've come full circle, as I listen to Sardonicast talking about Robot Dreams! I haven't been able to see the finished movie yet, so I'm curious to see whether I'll agree with Alex or with Adam once I manage to catch it in the cinema. Love the pod guys
I have to say, I would prefer this guest as a third host WAY more than Ralph. The guy actually sounds like he knows them, for one thing. Look how much effort Alex put into the drawing this time, you can tell he’s something special.
Alex kinda sounds like this guy Jamie from the Jarmedia podcast, a podcast known for their diverse culture and harsh political views. I was introduced to gooning and a small indie animation studio, Dreamworks Animation, through them. You guys should check them out.
"Disastrous filmmaking" is a moniker applied to plenty of overbudget films, and Waterworld is one of those stories that's legendary in the industry. So what the hell went wrong with this project? Well, we need to rewind the clock to 1986, when writer Peter Rader came up with a Mad Max knockoff for Roger Corman to produce. When he pitched it, Corman rejected it, saying how $5 million was way too much to make their film off of. Undeterred, Rader went about developing the screenplay, with it landing on The Gordon Company's doorstep in 1989. They teamed up with Universal Pictures for distribution, estimating their budget for $30 million. Kevin Reynolds was hired to direct, seeing as he helmed 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves to huge success. However, the studio also wanted Kevin Costner to star in the picture, which Reynolds wasn't keen on. See, whilst he and Kevin had a working relationship from Fandango (Where Costner got his start) to Robin Hood, the two were starting to feud, mainly because of artistic differences. But they patched things up for the now $65 million picture that was finally in production. Keep in mind, $30 million had already been spent on the preproduction, without any scenes being shot and only a director, star and multiple rewrites to its name. Production designer Dennis Gassner had picked Kawaihae Harbour in Hawaii as the film's primary shooting location. What he didn't know was why it was called "Kawaihae Harbour". When translated into English, "Kawaihae" means "rough waters" in Hawaiian, which signalled how turbulent the weather conditions were during production. Even Steven Spielberg warned Reynolds and Costner not to film out in the ocean, owing to his own experiences directing Jaws. Sets were wrecked because of the unpredictable weather (Namely hurricanes), the cast and crew suffered sea sickness and jellyfish bites, whilst stuntpeople suffered life-threatening injuries out in the ocean (Costner himself almost died when he got caught in a squall while tied to the mast of his trimaran). Not to mention, they overlooked an important component: no bathrooms. Because of this, people had to be ferried from the middle of the ocean to the shore just to take a dump, delaying the film shoot. Then there were the expenses that occurred, which included: - Costner's private yacht that was bought for him to bring him to "set". - Union penalties for staff food breaks that were always late. - Raising the man-made atoll that sank. - Accommodating the cast and crew for the night, with Costner's costing $1,800 a night. All told, it ballooned the budget to $175 million, with filming taking 166 days in total (To put this into perspective, Top Gun only took 100 days to shoot). During post-production, Universal proved unhappy with Reynold's initial cut, demanding he take out the darker aspects of the story. Costner stepped in with Universal's approval (After he agreed to relinquish his contractual agreement for back-end profits) trying to restore much of what Reynolds was forced to delete, refusing to add the "happy ending" that the studios wanted. Once Reynolds heard of this, he was embarrassed and angry about losing control, finally quitting the project and stating: _"In future, Costner should direct all his own movies. That way, he can work with his favorite director and his favorite actor."_ - Fiasco: A History of Hollywood's Iconic Flops Once it came time for test screenings, the scores weren't good. Audiences didn't like the inclusion of CGI sharks and the slow-paced, meandering storyline. So they went back to edit the picture, shot some additional footage (Weeks before release), and Costner asked for his thinning hairline to be touched up with digital hair. By 1995, the film was released to cinemas. Whilst it did make back its budget, it wasn't the profit maker Universal set out to achieve. Granted, it did do better internationally and eventually made a profit on home video and television sales, but it wasn't enough to shake the "Fishtar" and "Kevin's Gate" nicknames that the film earned. Kevin himself didn't learn anything during his time making Waterworld, seeing as he went on to direct the 3hr snorefest "The Postman", which was also a bomb yet somehow cost less and had the studio backing Kevin's creative decisions all the way (Even refusing to trim down the 3hr run time).
Yeah Waterworld was actually pretty successful, it just got so ridiculously out of comtrol expensive that it was really hard to make back its budget. But I quite like it, even though on the one hand it is just Mad Max on water, on the other hand it’s also very unique because it only could’ve been made back then; nowadays they would do everything with cgi while the whole ‘point’ of Waterworld is that they actually shot the thing at sea and the water is real and you sure see that on screen.
Interesting. As a commercial fisherman I love the movie for the sets and aesthetic, not for the plot. But also...why didn't they just use a shit bucket? That's what we do on fishing boats. Pour a little water in the bottom, sit on the bucket and do your business, toss it over the side, then rinse the bucket. Any able bodied person who made the whole production stop just to poop on land is an embarrassment to humans as a species.
@@Fortress7 hmm, would the turds not just float around? Especially with like dozens and dozens of cast and crew taking at least one to a (hopefully) unrealistic maximum of 3 shits in a 12 or whatever hour shoot? Can that much crap be swallowed up by the ocean if you're only filming in the one spot?
I thought it was stylish but boring. It looked great, but the plot was pretty uninteresting to me and towards the end you kinda knew where it was going, also the “shock” scenes were not really that shocking at all. I’d give it a 5/10 personally.
I was surprised but I actually quite enjoyed it. Looked great, performances were good. I enjoyed the first act quite a bit. A lil overdramatized ending scene but it fit his character. Plus the ACTUAL last scene was a very very enjoyable way to end it
0:20 Great to see you Ralph, welcome back. Miss the ways that your Sardonicast and you made Alex and Adam as less "Siskel & Ebert's Sardonic At the Movies." Lol
Past Lives being nominated BP is such a victory for me. Fantastic film. Zone of Interest was incredible as well. That ending is haunting as fff. Very good year based on those two masterpieces alone.
What’s weird about the academy’s problem with the editing category is that the nominees are decided by the editing branch. I could understand why the total voting body would not know how to judge editing, but you’d think other editors would be better at picking nominees.
51:31 Adam, Billie part is where Barbie and the creator when she got her tense and closing eye moment where flashes of kids are playing throughout the soft scene and might remember that at the end of the movie.
12:00 I would say that only biggest winner for the "Best Picture" will be Oppenheimer so it might win for the Oscars. My best film I actually the most is "Poor Things" a great Lathimo's weird and art crafted Frankenstein movie, The Holdovers is a great holiday small group movie, Past Lives is an emotion coming-to-an age love story with separate connections, and Oppenheimer is Nolan's longest biopic story of a man who made atomic bombs and deepen for his back story of his inventions and lives of working other people. Well, depends for what it is.
When I was in film school we had a class where every week a student would Rec a different film and we would discuss it. Every week the movies were always classics like Citizen Kane and M, but when it got to me I decided to pick Transformers Dark of the Moon to see what we could all learn from a bad movie. My professor vetoed it and refused to play it. Regardless of my argument. Instead we watched Taxi Driver.
Damn you should’ve picked Revenge of the Fallen I feel like that one’s even worse and with the whole history of the writers strike and Michael bay just filming random scenes and getting a script later is just insane but I’m sure your professor would still say no
How does Ralph not know that the Oscars is aired on network television for free in America? If you have a television antenna in America, you can watch the Oscars.
Why is Adum so insistent on pointing out the number of seats in the Oscars hall when discussing why the Oscars only have 5 slots each for nominations?! The reason it is 5 and not an endless number of slots is to try and make a nomination feel like something. If the Oscars had 20 best director nominations, nobody would care if they get nominated. Exclusivity is part of the prestige.
Yeah it should remain 5. I already think it is dumb there are 10 best movie noms because it devalues the whole thing. You can easily scrap half of these for not having a real chance anyway against some of the actual front runners. If they insist on having more than 5 best picture noms then fine make it 7, but 10 is just dumb.
@@mabusestestament Yh I don't personally mind 10 nominations just for best picture (I think it brings needed attention to films like The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall for example that perhaps may not have made it in a year of 5). But I agree with the sentiment on the whole; it would be better for them to change it to 5 if the alternative was changing it to say, 15. 5 for all of the rest of the categories is the correct way to go.
Society of the Snow should have gotten far more nominations. If it was in English it 100% would have been. Watched it last night and absolutely loved it. Fantastic acting, sound, set design, editing, directing… ridiculous that it only got an international feature nomination.
I feel like Godzilla Minus One needs to win best visual effects because of what it did with such a relatively small budget. It put Hollywood to shame. My favourite film of the year!
If Ralph came on and had his mic all fucked up, didn’t watch the movies, and just rambled and laughed at his own jokes cus he’s high off his face like the old days, that would’ve been truly legendary.
Actually, if Night of the Living Dead didn’t accidentally fall into the public domain the way it did, you actually might have to pay George Romero to use zombies in a movie.
When Adum said it was a surprise host I thought it would either be Ralph or an RLM member. And since rlm fucking HATES everyone, the logical conclusion was Ralph
I can’t hear “Waterworld” without thinking about the AVGN’s Virtual Boy review, mostly because of this quote: “Waterworld is the only movie-based game on Virtual Boy, and doesn't that seem like a match made in heaven? It's a perfect analogy. An over-budget, over-hyped movie turned into a game on a gimmicky, over-priced anal atom bomb of a console exploding with diarrhea!”
51:34 "What was I made for" plays in the scene with the old lady at the bus stop and when Barbie decides to be in the real world. The lyrics only kick in the second time.
"Oh they usually give 'best' cinematography or sound to the movie with the most of it!" *complain that some of the editing nominations aren't noticeable enough...*
Personally don’t think Holdovers is Oscar baity at all, I’m honestly surprised it got nominated for so many awards. My favourite of 2023 but I totally thought it was just going to fly under everyone’s radar.
This ralph guy has such good chemistry he should be a permanent host
His audio is great too! Crisp and clear.
I love Ralph he’s always been enjoyable to watch and hear over the years
@@NoFoxGvnthat’s funny do you have any more bits
Nah he's awful and im glad they kicked him off the podcast. Guy is a professional movie reviewer but can't properly articulate a coherent sentence.
Agree
I like the idea of Ralph coming back for special occasions like the Oscars or every hundredth episode
Or every episode
Why did he leave in the first place?

I’m relieved that Ralph managed to escape the Russians
I'm glad they let Ralph out of the dark place for a bit
Too bad he’s trying to stay low from the fuzz
I hope he comes back as a cohost again in the near future. I miss him on here.
Yeah I thought his take on avatar 2 was pretty outlandish but I think Adam sentencing him to 5 years in the dungeon for it was a tad too much
I thought this was a joke until he didn't know about the Hbomb video
He was locked in the basement of the Nutshack
they finally fixed ralph’s mic wooo
Incredibly awkward first minute, glad things are back to normal!
Wouldn’t want it any other way
It usually is lol

She could tho 😫
I saw Alex game Saltburn a 2/5 on Letterboxd. Curious to hear what you all have to say about it. Also talk about Leaving Las Vegas with Nic Cage.

The boys are back in town!
I first started listening to Sardonicast while playing Lies of P, so hearing it mentioned here was quite the synchronicity 🤣
I like how Ralph’s head in the intro uses the animation for guests instead of using the old intro animation with all 3 of them.
This feels like a normal episode of the cast again. This makes me happy
Past Lives being nominated BP is such a victory for me. Fantastic film. Zone of Interest was incredible as well. That ending is haunting as fff. Very good year based on those two masterpieces alone.

Omg Ralph! And finally they are reviewing a Brian de Palma film. Always found his style of filming fascinating.
Thar Ralph seems like a good guy, he should create his own youtube channel.
He should make movies
Crazy that they invited the zodiac killer onto the podcast
So glad they finally brought Ralph back to life for a few hours to talk about water world. Hooray!
Adam saying raimi directing and Bruce Campbell starring in water world would fix it like doing that wouldn't fix every single bad movie ever made
Who doesn't remember the great Dennis Hooper?
26:56 My big diva queen Da Vine will be the winner for sure. She nailed it good in Holdovers compare to Giamatti of course.
Lee Curtis robbed the supporting role of all time. Sorry
I love Blue Velvet and Hoosiers and all the films of Dennis Hooper 😆

51:31 Adam, Billie part is where Barbie and the creator when she got her tense and closing eye moment where flashes of kids are playing throughout the soft scene and might remember that at the end of the movie.
had a stroke trying to read this
12:00 I would say that only biggest winner for the "Best Picture" will be Oppenheimer so it might win for the Oscars. My best film I actually the most is "Poor Things" a great Lathimo's weird and art crafted Frankenstein movie, The Holdovers is a great holiday small group movie, Past Lives is an emotion coming-to-an age love story with separate connections, and Oppenheimer is Nolan's longest biopic story of a man who made atomic bombs and deepen for his back story of his inventions and lives of working other people. Well, depends for what it is.
My pick would be Oppenheimer personally, watching it in IMAX was pretty special although haven’t seen Poor Things yet which I’m very excited for
Adam saying
"I just want to see Twitter if Barbie wins nothing"
Gave me real "some men just want to see the world burn" vibes 😂😂
