"When an actor whose portrayal of characters in a film is synonymous with that actor’s persona without exception, it is an example of the Ryan Reynolds Effect." In the world of filmmaking, immersing oneself into a character to win a 12 inch gold plated man is one way to go about creating art. However, some silver screeners chose to take a less "method" approach. When it comes to pumping out fun action blockbusters, it can often be easier to just play yourself. Today's episode is about the celebrity actors who are so cool that they can play themselves every time and we will always love it. Welcome... to the Ryan Reynolds Effect.  Hosts: Hamzah Yousuf + Stephen DeCoste Producer: Micah Moses Editor: Niall Davidson Original Music by: Dylan Fitch FTL Website: https://ftlproductionsco.wixsite.com/podcast Contact Us: [email protected]

What a better way to kick off our podcast than with one of the movies that kicked off the year. SCREAM is revitalizing a franchise in this modern blockbuster bloodbath. Horror is being elevated, action movies are substantive, people are getting slapped at the OSCARS, it's mayhem. It's time to see if this reboot sequel brought something new to our crazy cinema world. Did this movie come and conquer, or did the trailer kill the buzz.  Hosts: Hamzah Yousuf + Stephen DeCoste Producer: Micah Moses Editor: Niall Davidson Original Music by: Dylan Fitch FTL Website: https://ftlproductionsco.wixsite.com/podcast Contact Us: [email protected]
