Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Movies, video games, tech. He had to get the nerd
news you need with Mike Jones Minicon on DC one
on one. While the movie didn't do that well in theaters,
Francis Ford Coppola has more to come with Megalopolis. The
story will get a reinterpretation with Megalopolis, an original graphic novel.
Coppola said that his vision was for the artists and
writers to expand on the ideas from the movie and

(00:23):
add more to them, and this new book is a
sibling to the film, not just an echo. The Megalopolis
graphic novel is expected to come out in the fall.
A new category was just announced for the Oscars for
Best Stunt Design and that will be getting twenty twenty seven.
But Tom Hardy doesn't think that's enough. He said that
while one category is a good start, the stunt world

(00:44):
is so big that a lot of people in their
work might not get recognized. Hardy thinks there should be
at least two or three Stunt Oscars to do this right.
