Does anyone actually KNOW FOR A FACT that Marlon has any issues? Because both Tito and Jackie don’t seem too concerned at all , posting posts of themselves having fun.
I’d love to see RANDY join the rest of the brothers because honestly, i think he’s the most talented of the remaining bunch…
Contrary to your doom and gloom opinion on the Biopic, I think you’ve all forgotten about the FILM TECHNOLOGY that now exists – CGI facial duplication (such as that used in the FAST N FURIOUS 7) and blending of REAL MJ’s dancing from afar, with close-ups of Jaffaar’s face, with Michael’s REAL VOCALS while Jaffaar lip syncing…
I don’t think it was ‘doom and gloom’ but more legitimate concerns about how any one film can depict an accurate account of the life of Michael Jackson. As they said you can take any era such as his childhood and make an entire 2 hour movie from it.
Totally agree with Thompson on the sale of the catalog… the family needs to protect HOW MJ’s catalog would be used. Branca just thinks in terms of $$… (“the greatest SELLING artist “; the largest GROSSING Broadway play”… etc) but more thought needs to go into PROTECTING his music and how it’s used in the future!
And SONY, of all companies, should NEVER be the company that owns that control.
Great episode. Well done guys.
