| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slashfilm Daily. Today's Friday, November 29th, 2024. On today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the new holiday themed comedy Nutcrackers, and we'll present an interview with director David Gordon Green. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at SlashFelm.com, and I'm joined on today's episode by SlashFelm editor Brad Oman. Hey, that's me. All right, Brad, I have not had a chance to see Nutcrackers by the time we're recording |
| 0:22.9 | this episode. |
| 0:23.7 | We're recording it a little bit early. |
| 0:25.4 | Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. |
| 0:27.1 | I hope everyone had a great holiday and is enjoying Vince Goralde, which is the fake |
| 0:31.9 | holiday that my wife and I made up that is today as you're listening to this. |

| 1:06.4 | the righteous gemstones and eastbound and down and whatnot. |
| 1:10.7 | But he also has a streak of directing independent stuff like Prince |
| 1:15.1 | Avalanche and George Washington, just to name, you know, a couple of things that you |
| 1:21.0 | might know from his indie career, you know. |
| 1:24.0 | So he's quite an eclectic filmmaker. |
| 1:27.2 | And so this, after he spent years |
| 1:31.0 | working on big horror movies like the Halloween trilogy and The Exorcist Believer, now he's |
| 1:38.2 | getting back into what feels kind of like indie territory. And he brought Ben Stiller with him. |
| 1:44.0 | I didn't realize this, but this is Ben Stiller's first lead role since 2017. |
| 1:50.0 | Wow. |
