Speaker 1: The Frames per Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Frames per Second Podcast, and this is
Speaker 2: one of our discussion series and today we are talking
Speaker 2: about movies that would have worked better as TV shows.
Speaker 2: We're all going to do three in a round robin's style,
Speaker 2: and we also want to know what you guys think,
Speaker 2: so make sure you leave your comments and ready pages
Speaker 2: and all those things. Is what you think would have
Speaker 2: been a better TV show that was a movie. Y'all
Speaker 2: have a hard time clinic with this list.
Speaker 3: Until I sat down, Yeah, yeah, I have, I wrote,
Speaker 3: I got set so yeah, but I started out it
Speaker 3: was a struggle early and then when I settled there, I.
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I can add this one.
Speaker 1: I can add this one.
Speaker 3: So I had to kind of go back and look
Speaker 3: at some some find some movies.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's see what we want to start rod on
Speaker 2: the one that didn't say that.
Speaker 4: That's why I started with you.
Speaker 2: I'll start how about that, I'll start with mine, the
Speaker 2: first one that I have. I really don't like this
Speaker 2: as a movie, but had it been fleshed out more
Speaker 2: as a TV show, I probably would have liked it more.
Speaker 2: Maybe spend some more times with the characters. And that
Speaker 2: is a baby boy. Baby Boy as a TV series,
Speaker 2: Baby Boy as a TV series would have been a
Speaker 2: hit or two. It would have been some ship like power.
Speaker 2: It probably wouldn't even have to be good. People would
Speaker 2: have just enjoyed being in that world on a weekly
Speaker 2: basis with the tyres and the ving rings and to hearing.
Speaker 2: I think that that would have been a fire series.
Speaker 2: Yea of show, y'all know, I like baby Boy. That
Speaker 2: would have been a really good TV show.
Speaker 1: How many seasons? Three? Three?
Speaker 2: Max? Just they would only get one, just to the
Speaker 2: point where maybe at the ends is like turning his
Speaker 2: life around it and it became more successful, maybe settled
Speaker 2: down with a family then so over.
Speaker 3: A very interesting answer, Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: I like it. Never thought about me either, and I
Speaker 1: still can't see it.
Speaker 2: You watch it because it will be messying. It will
Speaker 2: be some messy ass stuff. I'm sure sure, So baby
Speaker 2: Boy TV shows What I Got, Mike, what you got?
Speaker 4: I'm only gonna kick this one out because this was
Speaker 4: something relatively recent history of violence. M I think if
Speaker 4: they had broke this out and we have more of
Speaker 4: a slow reveal of who Tom Stalls is, I think
Speaker 4: it would have been really dope.
Speaker 2: Kind of like at the end of season one, you
Speaker 2: finally get to reveal that it is him. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: would have been fire, I agree with.
Speaker 4: And then you find out who's doing everything maybe in
Speaker 4: season two. So yeah, I think this would have been
Speaker 4: a really dope movie because I think a lot of
Speaker 4: people's complaint is this movie just kind of drops you
Speaker 4: in the world. You're there for like an hour and
Speaker 4: twenty and then it's out. They don't explain anything. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I think it showed.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like that Ken what's yours?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go sci fi.
Speaker 3: It's this is not a it's an okay movie, closer
Speaker 3: to below average than okay. But it was on a Netflix.
Speaker 3: It's called Rebel Moon.
Speaker 2: I heard.
Speaker 1: They had different parts.
Speaker 5: There's three of them there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are multiple parts. But I feel like if
Speaker 3: they could have really taken their time and did like
Speaker 3: a four season series, it could have been good because
Speaker 3: it was one of the big time mainstream directors that
Speaker 3: we all know, uh that does a lot of what
Speaker 3: is his name? I look it up, but but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's so much. I feel like they need
Speaker 3: time to really flush out the story and and Sack
Speaker 3: Snyder did it. Zack Snyder did it, but it just
Speaker 3: it just wasn't enough, Like yeah, and there's so much
Speaker 3: I felt like they could have told as a series.
Speaker 4: One of these days if I get real bored, bored
Speaker 4: because I heard it's bad, like a bad, fake ass
Speaker 4: Star Wars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all playing the generic. But I think they
Speaker 3: needed time to because we don't know ship about the
Speaker 3: world or anything. Bro, they just give us. Yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's the need of the series.
Speaker 4: Rot yeah, like like kind of like Mike.
Speaker 5: Once I really started thinking about it, I'm like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: I guess I could have used that as a series.
Speaker 5: I'm not necessary, but my whole thing is, like I
Speaker 5: don't know if it's necessarily better than the movies that
Speaker 5: I picked. But one note came to mind was a
Speaker 5: higher learning.
Speaker 1: I think that.
Speaker 5: Could have could have could have done a little bit
Speaker 5: better as a as a series. I could see somebody
Speaker 5: taking that and just kind of flushing that out, the
Speaker 5: whole college experience, the different type of cultures that's in it,
Speaker 5: Like you can really flush something like that out, even
Speaker 5: the build up to the Nazis and all of that,
Speaker 5: Like you can really flush a story like that out.
Speaker 5: You know, maybe not a bunch of seasons, but you know,
Speaker 5: you could follow different subsects because you had you had
Speaker 5: the Blacks, you had, the Whites, you had, the Nazis,
Speaker 5: you had, you had so many different different ways, you know,
Speaker 5: routes you can go with that story, and I think
Speaker 5: it could have with the right person behind it, it
Speaker 5: could have been really really strong.
Speaker 2: Like a broader, more dramatic version of a different world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of the world building, I think you could have
Speaker 5: built that world world a little bit more, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: with higher learning.
Speaker 2: I liked that I'd watched that my next one it
Speaker 2: came up earlier here today. I think that this would
Speaker 2: have been a smash TV show, even though it was
Speaker 2: a pretty big movie. And I enjoyed all the movies,
Speaker 2: but one of my biggest complaints was you never got
Speaker 2: to build the worlds out of the different units that
Speaker 2: they talked about. And that's Hunger Games. I think Hunger
Speaker 2: Games would have been Game of Thrones like level popularity
Speaker 2: if you got to go into those different worlds that
Speaker 2: those people that they selected from the Hunger Games, like,
Speaker 2: if you got to go to those places and see
Speaker 2: how different stuff come out, and I know you did it
Speaker 2: something in some of the movies, but really building it
Speaker 2: up like they did a winter Field or King's Landing
Speaker 2: or the Wall and then do the Hunger Games thing
Speaker 2: it maybe the season finales or the pen ultimate episode.
Speaker 2: I think that that would have been a show that
Speaker 2: lived on forever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like it, but I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 5: feel like with the breakout of all the movies, I
Speaker 5: feel like that gave an opportunity to kind of world
Speaker 5: builder look that.
Speaker 2: They didn't though, Like I wanted to pels now that
Speaker 2: I wanted to know about the zones that people came
Speaker 2: from it.
Speaker 3: I am with you, Spike, like we were introduced to
Speaker 3: them and we know what they are and how they
Speaker 3: function et cetera, et cetera, but I was curious.
Speaker 1: About like how it looked everything I did. Wanted to
Speaker 1: know more about them.
Speaker 2: No, that's good. That's one of my favorite series.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that could have been interesting.
Speaker 2: Ken what you got?
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm gonna go with the creator John David Washington
Speaker 3: to remember. Yeah, I think that I think it's a
Speaker 3: it's a good idea there, but I really feel like
Speaker 3: if we could have gotten two three, seasons, they could
Speaker 3: have really built upon everything that was being told. I
Speaker 3: don't remember being fully in love.
Speaker 1: With this movie.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I don't think I actually
Speaker 3: really liked it like that. But I think if they
Speaker 3: would have had time to spend, you know, setting everything
Speaker 3: up and getting all the way to the end, I
Speaker 3: think it could have been really, really more enjoyable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I seen to create I have
Speaker 2: to check out, Yeah, Mike, what you got?
Speaker 1: Nick.
Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody's seen this movie, but I
Speaker 4: loved the book. But I thought the movie was ass
Speaker 4: World war Z.
Speaker 1: I have seen that.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's so fucking bad.
Speaker 5: That's what the run and they.
Speaker 4: Turned the big balls and they roll at you and
Speaker 4: it's fucking stupid.
Speaker 2: So it is.
Speaker 4: But the way the book is broken down is you're
Speaker 4: not like you're not reading a story as it's happening.
Speaker 4: The way the book is is it's almost like a
Speaker 4: documentary and you're you're hearing about what happened through the
Speaker 4: accounts of different people that are being interviewed. How the
Speaker 4: fuck they went from that to this shitty ass movie
Speaker 4: with Brad fucking Pit is beyond me. But if they
Speaker 4: had taken their time and broke it down and showed
Speaker 4: like by episode it is different people accounting for what happened.
Speaker 4: This could have been so good, but the movie is absolute.
Speaker 4: Gabbage Rod with your.
Speaker 5: Next one, man, I didn't know which one I wanted
Speaker 5: to pick, but I think I'm gonna go with the lesser.
Speaker 5: You know, well, I don't want to say lesser no one,
Speaker 5: But like, I think Minister Society could have been a
Speaker 5: good uh, a good series, Yes, absolutely, I think with
Speaker 5: those strong characters, old dog fucking.
Speaker 1: Caine who.
Speaker 3: But who.
Speaker 1: He played? Whoever? I forgot to name his character.
Speaker 2: He was dope, Like, yeah, I think.
Speaker 5: That could have been flushed out a little bit more
Speaker 5: as a series.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, grow up kind of going down the
Speaker 2: wrong track.
Speaker 1: And he had the rock as a teacher.
Speaker 5: He was like a teacher, so how he Uh you
Speaker 5: had Chauncey. I mean, you had so many characters that
Speaker 5: you could have build upon, like the cut and that
Speaker 5: guy shot at the at light, like you could. It's
Speaker 5: so many different characters you had. She was trying to
Speaker 5: go to Atlanta or college or something like that. You
Speaker 5: got that story trying to get out the hood. Like
Speaker 5: I think that could have been a solid hood story
Speaker 5: as a as a series, not saying like again that
Speaker 5: the movie is bad. I just think that. Oh man,
Speaker 5: I would have loved to watch the Minutes of Society series.
Speaker 5: Somebody did that ship would like.
Speaker 2: Should actually right instead of doing paid him for I
Speaker 2: should do that. You know, paid him Ford got a
Speaker 2: TV show.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: No, No, fifty just.
Speaker 5: The right, that's right, that's right, because Dame just said
Speaker 5: it's gonna be like, congratulations on making making fifty your
Speaker 5: boss cam?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, for real.
Speaker 2: Bro, he hired cam on as executive producer, right, and
Speaker 2: Dame dash came congraduations looking at mad. He lost the
Speaker 2: rights to it because he couldn't afford and fifty bought
Speaker 2: it from him.
Speaker 1: And that's why because it's streaming, so it ain't working.
Speaker 2: Well, No, you know he got he had a five
Speaker 2: bankrupt because he couln't pay all of his his t fix.
Speaker 2: But now he can't back out and tell you ain't
Speaker 2: get that fix.
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember stream he still got it.
Speaker 4: It's still streaming site called some Dame TV or some corny.
Speaker 2: Ship and some of USA, I can't remember the exact name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where you put all his movies and stuff
Speaker 3: on that they be doing. It was supposed to be
Speaker 3: his Netflix or something.
Speaker 2: Okay, my turn for the last one? Did I skip somebody?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: So this one was a good movie and I enjoyed
Speaker 2: it a lot, but I think it could have been
Speaker 2: better because I like mafia stuff. If you had a
Speaker 2: TV show, and I don't think we've ever seen this
Speaker 2: one explored. We've seen Philly and Jersey and New York.
Speaker 2: I think that Departed would have worked as a really
Speaker 2: TV series. I think that would have been fired fleshing
Speaker 2: out Man Damon's character, fleshing out all of those stories.
Speaker 2: They a lot that movie. They cram a lot into that.
Speaker 2: They could have fleshed a lot of that stuff out.
Speaker 2: I think that would have been a maze.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the part of this one that I have, what's
Speaker 2: your next one?
Speaker 3: Can? There are eight books for this movie and it's
Speaker 3: called The Dark Tower.
Speaker 4: Oh I heard that was bad. Yes, I heard they
Speaker 4: ruined it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's one of Bee's favorite series. I think it right, yep, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I think Bees read them all. But y'all can
Speaker 3: reach out to him about that. But he's really high
Speaker 3: on it. He loves it, and that movie is so bad.
Speaker 3: I haven't finished this series, but just from the ones
Speaker 3: that I have read, and then watching that, bro, I'm like,
Speaker 3: there's no way you can do this story justice in
Speaker 3: two hours.
Speaker 4: And yes, it's one of the few movies I've never finished.
Speaker 4: I started and I think I got about forty minutes
Speaker 4: and I was like, I'm good.
Speaker 1: It's so bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 3: So that movie deserves that's that series that deserves a
Speaker 3: series because.
Speaker 4: He just elbows like a cowboy or something.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, they're all like cowboys and stuff, but
Speaker 3: he's a cowboy in this ship.
Speaker 1: Bro, this man.
Speaker 2: Mike Wish, the next one, the last one?
Speaker 4: Oh do ragoh.
Speaker 1: He just he juster orders. I'm tripping.
Speaker 4: Multi verse and madness. It was tough for me to
Speaker 4: think of my last one. Then I started thinking, sometimes
Speaker 4: Marble movies crammed too much in and that one jumped out.
Speaker 4: It's like fuck, because my I don't have much of
Speaker 4: an issue because I love that movie. But when I
Speaker 4: really thought about it, I think that they tried to
Speaker 4: cram too many characters into that film, and if we
Speaker 4: were able to sit with these characters, I think it
Speaker 4: would have been a lot harder, Like, especially when they
Speaker 4: get to the to the Multiverse where they have the
Speaker 4: council with like Read Richards and Monica Rambau and all
Speaker 4: this other shit.
Speaker 2: Not Monica Rambau.
Speaker 4: What's the woman's name that became the she was the
Speaker 4: other version of Miss Marvel, the black woman. Oh, Monica
Speaker 4: Rambo's mother. I just can't think of her name. But yeah,
Speaker 4: when they got there, the fact that they all spoiler alert,
Speaker 4: they all died. I feel like if we sat with
Speaker 4: them for like maybe three or four episodes when they
Speaker 4: all got got it would have been like, oh fuck.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I definitely, I definitely think that Multiverse and
Speaker 4: Madness could have used a season. This should I think
Speaker 4: Multiverse of Madness. They should have made it seem like
Speaker 4: it was gonna be a Doctor Strange show but then
Speaker 4: revealed later that it was really WandaVision season two.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, back now when you added that part to it, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that could have been really good.
Speaker 4: Because what if we didn't even see Monica, I mean
Speaker 4: Wanda until like episode four. Hell no, because once he
Speaker 4: gets there and he starts talking to her, it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: she's a good guy. Thoh, but wait, Nope, it's been her.
Speaker 4: It's like it was all revealed within the span of
Speaker 4: like five minutes. What if that wasn't revealed for like
Speaker 4: the span of five episodes, I think it would have been.
Speaker 2: Really fucking and you wonder what's going on. It makes sense.
Speaker 4: I still love that movie, though, h Rod close us out?
Speaker 5: Hmm, I think I'm gonna close US out. I was
Speaker 5: trying to pick which one, but I think I'm gonna
Speaker 5: go with.
Speaker 1: US.
Speaker 5: I couldn't think if I wanted to do the first
Speaker 5: one or not interesting because like even when I watch US,
Speaker 5: like I always wanted to go back and watch it
Speaker 5: because I still kind of confused about the shit, and
Speaker 5: I always said I was going to go back and
Speaker 5: watch it. But I think if they would have spent
Speaker 5: a little bit more time on US.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that one? You remember that I watched it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, why would you watch that? Amazon watched US, he
Speaker 2: watched US. I think I was seeing them at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember them, but.
Speaker 4: You might remember them like what you're gonna do.
Speaker 2: But I think if.
Speaker 5: US did a series, I think it would have been
Speaker 5: a lot better than them or whatever.
Speaker 4: So speaking of them real quick, before you did you
Speaker 4: all ever watch the other season?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: That tricked us.
Speaker 4: I didn't know it was even related to them.
Speaker 1: Episode stupid. Oh y'all did know?
Speaker 4: That's why just Justice bad? Anyway, go ahead, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 5: I still kind of find some with the actors. I
Speaker 5: think the one lady was really good at it.
Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, the lady was good. I think the
Speaker 4: kid was.
Speaker 1: The kid was good.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and then what You're gonna do, dude, he
Speaker 5: was hilarious. But but I think Us as a as
Speaker 5: a series would would be good man, especially with the
Speaker 5: performances of and and I forgot his name, the guy
Speaker 5: like he's he's been taking it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's uh, he's in Black Panther.
Speaker 4: Michael something, I think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, just flushing out like the Tethered People.
Speaker 2: And all that ship.
Speaker 5: I think that is a series of Winston Duke. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think that is a series would be amazing.
Speaker 2: That would be good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan Biale needs to do something like that. He
Speaker 4: means to see.
Speaker 5: What he does with it, yeah, which which is odd
Speaker 5: because they do series. They come from series making stuff,
Speaker 5: Like I'm surprised he hasn't done a series, But.
Speaker 4: What's the first movie called get Out, get Out, get Out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I couldn't get out with make it okay?
Speaker 5: All right, So I see that's what I was trying
Speaker 5: to figure out, get Out of Us. But I feel
Speaker 5: like get Out was okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot more to us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's still more to be said with us.
Speaker 2: I think get Out would have to be like an
Speaker 2: anthology series, like different people each.
Speaker 5: Season, all like get like go to the town and.
Speaker 1: Get but after a while racism coming from Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think this would be good.
Speaker 2: Have any honorable mentions?
Speaker 5: I had a couple on. One I had thought about
Speaker 5: was a fight Club. I thought Fight Club would be
Speaker 5: good as a series flushing that out, but but.
Speaker 4: Again, it's a great movie, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: But I think it's still complex what the characters meant
Speaker 5: to him and things like that or so, so I
Speaker 5: think kind of diving in deeper into that, it.
Speaker 2: Would be really really decent series.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a solid series. Fight Club.
Speaker 3: The other one I have that I mentioned, I think
Speaker 3: it's worth mentioning. It's enders game. It's another south O flip.
Speaker 3: But I read the book and watching the movie and
Speaker 3: having read the book, I'm like, oh my god, they're kepting.
Speaker 1: So much stuff and.
Speaker 3: It really deserves a whole series because they have to
Speaker 3: cram all of this stuff into this movie, and they
Speaker 3: left out part that I remember that or parts that
Speaker 3: I remember reading about but wasn't in the in the
Speaker 3: in the damn scene, I think, and there's game.
Speaker 1: Needs a series.
Speaker 2: That justice my only one that I had to mention,
Speaker 2: and they did it, and I just want to mention
Speaker 2: it where the movie was really good, but the series
Speaker 2: was even better. It was Friday Night Lights. Oh the
Speaker 2: Lights was a good movie, but that series it's better.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: That's one of my favors easily, I think in my
Speaker 2: top five. It's one of the best series to me.
Speaker 2: But Friday Night Lights was they did it correctly.
Speaker 4: I had when whene we're putting this together, I was
Speaker 4: trying to think of, like, which Star Wars movie would
Speaker 4: I turned into a series. I really couldn't think of one.
Speaker 4: And then while iman sitting here, I was like, Solo.
Speaker 4: Solo had so many cool ideas that they could have
Speaker 4: absolutely fleshed out so much better, but they didn't, and
Speaker 4: it made the movie suffer.
Speaker 5: And they have no plans on doing a series of Solo.
Speaker 4: No, they're gonna do a series of Orlando. I mean,
Speaker 4: at least Brother gets a serious It's still I don't care.
Speaker 1: They got your boy in it too, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Donald Glover is gonna be in it.
Speaker 2: I just don't care which. Y'all watch that Game of
Speaker 2: Thrones movie.
Speaker 4: There's a Game of Throws movie.
Speaker 2: I'm asking if they were like, you know what we got,
Speaker 2: the backlash we got with George, or fix We're gonna
Speaker 2: not try to necessarily fix it with put a better
Speaker 2: ending to it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I would watch it just because it's Game
Speaker 4: of Thrones. I'll watch anything Game of Thrones. But I'm
Speaker 4: walking in very cautious because y'all fucking fooled me once,
Speaker 4: got my hopes up, and you ship in my face?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, freak ship. All right, that's the end of
Speaker 2: our long walk speaking of shit in her face for
Speaker 2: this frames per se conversation, y'all to get that when
Speaker 2: y'all see the movie. It's been fun. We are out.
Speaker 2: We appreciate y'all.
