Daniel Hoult writes: Hey AMC movies news guy my question is will fast and furious be the last one, Becasue looking at Facebook the cast have been posting like it's the last one they're doing?


Matt Van Winkle writes: Hey guys love the show! How do you think they're going to incorporate both future and past X-Men in Apocalypse?


Max Clark writes: Hi, When do you think Hugo Weaving's Red Skull will return, could he return in Guardians of the Galaxy?


Jessen A writes: First of all I really enjoy your show. I work in the industry and it great watching a film review show with people who know they stuff! I think Andy Serkis is amazing actor and his motion capture work is fantastic. Can't flaw his work.However, will Jar Jar Bink will get some recognition for its ground breaking in motion capture/CGI? And Ahmed Best for his work as Jar Jar?Keep up with the great work!


Thnx guys, for ur awesome show, I recently watched the complete firefly series along with serenity, and I loved it and started hating the people who were responsible for its cancellation. My question is will it ever be relaunched by joss whedon again? Its in my view one of the best works of Joss Whedon, Thnx guys keep up the great work!!

Lewis Gibson writes: Hey AMC crew love the show. My question is regarding best picture, do you think X-men Days of Future Past and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes should be nominated for best picture and if they aren't would you be shocked? Thanks and keep up the good work.


Brian Bonardi writes: Hey guys love the show and watch it every chance I get. You have all been saying how much Andy Serkis or other motion capture artists should be recognized by the academy for their performances and I am completely on board with that along side you. But what about voice actors as well? I'm not saying voice actors for just animated movies but also CG characters in live action movies as well. For example, lets say Bradley Cooper gives his best performance yet playing Rocket Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy, should the academy recognize that performance and include it in the acting category, or make a separate performance category? What are your thoughts on this?


John-Eric Cervini writes: Hey guys and gals of AMC, love the show, my friends and I watch it every day together. With the Jurassic World being set 22 years after the first Jurassic Park, but still being a sequel, it got me to thinking about Superman Returns. Looking back at that film i always felt it was more of a sequel to the Christoper Reeve films than a movie all of its own. Do you think if Warner Bros had promoted it more as a sequel to those films in the trailers and advertising before it ever came out, it would have been looked on more favorably by the audience than it was? Thanks and keep bringing on the filthy.


Ben Tevlin writes: Hey guys love the show been watching for over a year now and im still hooked. My question may seem strange but hear me out. With the news pf Ridley Scott planning on making another biblical film and with so many studios today having shared universes (marvel, dc, the conjuring ect) what would you think of.....wait for it.......A BIBLICAL SHARED UNIVERSE. Thanks and keep up the great work.


Jason Schlaman writes: Hey Guys, love the show. My question is: with Chris Pratt's career skyrocketing recently, do you see him earning an oscar anytime in the near future? Thanks and bring on the filthy.
