The John Campea Podcast: Episode 39 - Critics VS Audience Ratings, Where's Gambit?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday August 8th 2016) John talks about the following topics:1) Delays on Gambit2) Jimmy Smits appearing in Rogue One FAN QUESTIONS:Winnie Cooper writes: Hi John, I wanted to get your unique perspective on an angle of the DC vs Marvel critical reception that I haven't heard anyone talking about specifically. And that is the critic/audience approval ratings difference for Marvel and DC movies. Let me show you what I mean. When you look at critics vs audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes for Marvel films they are pretty much in lock step, with most of the films at 0-5% difference between critics and audiences. In fact, in 13 movies only one (Thor 2) has a double digit difference (of +12% for audiences), with Marvel movies averaging +1.77% for audiences. But the differences are drastic with DCEU movies. +20% audience approval for MoS, +38% for BvS and as of the date of this email a whopping +47% for Suicide Squad. That's an average of +35% audience rating for DCEU movies. Meaning that critics like Marvel movies on average almost as often as audiences, but like DCEU movies far far less than audiences. So the question is, why? Are critics being unusually harsh on the DCEU movies or are audiences just more forgiving of weak films? Itamar writes: hi john, about suicide squad, first of all, i didn't like the movie. the bad stuff just was too much for me. but my question is, don't you feel this movie was suppose to be R rated? the entire time, it just felt weird that these group of psychopaths and bad guys never cussed once. felt out of character for them. i feel this should've been a R rated movie not just because the R, but just like deadpool, a R rating would fit these characters and the story. would've been way coolerBen Rainer writes: Big Fan hear, and I respect your opinion very much. I have seen Suicide Squad already and I really really enjoyed it. Any way my question is do you thing that critics subconsciously review DC movies harsher than Marvel movies. I am not even saying they do it on purpose or even are aware that they’re doing it. I’m just wondering if Suicide Squad Movie comes out under the Marvel name I wonder if it would be getting slightly higher reviews. I am very curious to hear your thoughts, and I am loving your podcast.

The John Campea Podcast Episode 41 - John Returning To Movie Talk, Leto's Joker

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday September 5th 2016) John talks about the following:1) Ann’s dad 2) John Williams concert3) New schedule with joining Movie Talk Again FAN QUESTIONS:Philip Dagostino writes: Hey John, really excited you’re making your triumphant return to movie talk this week,but as a long time fan I have to ask: why do you keep leaving and returning? Isn’t this like the 3rd time? Are you sticking around this time? Not trying to give you a hard time, just really needed to ask.Chris Warden writes: What up John? I hope you & Anne had a great summer. Is there any chance you can publicly debunk this rumor going around that Suicide Squad needs to make 800 million dollars at the worldwide box-office just to break even? I personally can't see any studio head greenlighting a film project that needs to make that much to break even as the risk is just too high. John Michael Klobuchar writes: What are your thoughts on people who say Star Wars The Force Awakens, will receive the same backlash as The Phantom Menace over time? Personally I think thats nonsense.Yuhan Houth writes: Just a quick one. What are some films that come to mind whenever someone complains about lack of original content from Hollywood. It really annoys me whenever I see this complaint on message boards.Ben Davis writes: My question is regarding Jared Leto's joker. I'm a huge 30 seconds to Mars fan and a huge fan of Mr. Leto himself so I was pretty excited when he was first cast. Now after the movies release and reception I've had time to reflect upon his performance and I gotta say I loved it! He was in two of the best scenes in the entire movie (club scene/Harley and the chemicals scene). However it seems to me his performance has kind of a split reception with some liking it and some hating it. Do you think this will hurt us seeing him in another movie?Scott Wooldridge writes: Love listening to you talk everything movies! This summer was definitely a little disappointing for movies. My question is... even though we had a below average summer do you think we are in store for an amazingly strong fall? It seems like with Telluride and the Venice film festival, movies like Hacksaw Ridge, Loving, The Arrival, and La La Land are all getting lots of buzz. I feel like maybe more than previous years?
