Just Foolin' About with Michael Biehn

Michael and the gang open the show by talking about Robert Pattinson's new A24 movie Primetime. This leads them to go over Pattinsons filmography including Twilight, The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe, Good Time, The King, Tenet, and Batman. They then move onto speculation about upcoming Academy Awards contenders like The Odyssey, Dune, Project Hail Mary, Wild Horse 9, and a Fincher-made Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follow-up. The conversation turns to AI in publishing—books flagged as AI-written (“It Was Either That or Die,” “Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body”)—and fears about AI-generated movies and actor likeness, illustrated by an AI Tyson-as-Terminator clip and an AI image of Trump with tech CEOs. They also review Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil film, discuss Whalefall starring Austin Abrams with Josh Brolin, reminisce about Grindhouse and Brolin’s Coen-brothers audition tape for No Country for Old Men, debate Coen classics (Fargo, Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, O Brother, Burn After Reading, Barton Fink, True Grit), and recommend Xavier Gens projects including The Divide and the action film Farang (also called Mayhem).

The hosts congratulate Caelan on signing a contract for a new football podcast set to launch around the start of the NFL season, then focus on movies—especially Adam Wingard’s Onslaught—after its review embargo lifts and its Rotten Tomatoes score lands in the mid-70s, clearing Doug Stanhope’s 70% bet. They describe the film as a fun, ultra-violent but comic-book-tempered grindhouse-style ’80s action throwback, with reviews frequently comparing it to John Carpenter and James Cameron, and they debate criticism that its tight ~90-minute runtime is “too short.” They also call out standout work and moments from Adria Arjona, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and Reginald VelJohnson (with Die Hard references). The discussion branches into Ridley Scott’s shifting comments on Alien: Romulus, a defense of Prometheus, dislike of Covenant, and a quick tour of Scott’s broader filmography including Blade Runner, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, and The Martian.

The episode is a wide-ranging movie chat: Michael, Jim, and Caelan discuss a new Netflix movie called The Last House, and praise its Netflix marketing stunt featuring a live person inside a Sunset Boulevard billboard, then note Andrew’s upcoming Netflix projects adapting BioShock and Gears of War. They talk distribution, including Onslaught selling to India and whether the film could face issues in China. Michael reviews Los Frikis (2024), set in Cuba during the AIDS crisis and inspired by true events, describing communities where people intentionally contracted HIV to escape brutal life under Castro, with references to Scarface. Conversation also touches on Adam Wingard, beards/“getting wooly,” The Hollywood Reporter’s Aaron Couch and a Tim Colceri/Full Metal Jacket story, Alien: Romulus sequel rumors, Avatar’s future, Alita, Christopher Nolan films, box office rebounds, and potential podcast guests like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kurt Russell, and Brian May.
