Good evening and welcome to the bootleg version of Inside the Actor's Studio, this bonus episode we are taking a trip back and discussing Will Smith's guest appearance alongside James Lipton on the program Inside the Actor's Studio. This show was often a right of passage and a honor for most successful thespians in Hollywood. So as we wrap up our deep dive into Will Smith, let's see how our thoughts align with Sir James Lipton and if we learn anything unknown from our own journey.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back with us to 2021! Right after the reckoning we got another Oscar worthy movie and performance from Will Smith with the tale of two of the greatest athletes ever and how their father made that happen. King Richard is not the biopic you expect about the Williams sisters, but it's a love letter and a thank you in the form of film from daughters to their father. Richard Williams and his dream for his daughters is an inspiring family story. Will, with the help of Venus, Serena and Isha Price, brings to life the softer loving side of a man who was often misunderstood and misinterpreted by the main stream media. Starring Will Smith in the titular role, anchored by an amazing performance by Aunjanue Ellis, and young stars in the making Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton. Will this be a movie theatre regret or a Blockbuster (HBOMax) fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back with us accompanied by two old pals, Marcus and Mike as we talk about 2020's Bad Boys for Life. The latest installment of the Bad Boys franchise that helped Will Smith and Martin Lawrence breakout as movie stars, this buddy cop movie reminds us of a tale as old as time 'we ride together, we die together, bad boys for life'. Just when you're unsure what you should expect from a third Bad Boys movie starring two aging stars, they're able to take another leap with this movie giving Mike a bit more to work with other than just his good looks and trigger finger. Will this be a movie theatre regret or a  Blockbuster rental fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back to 2019 with us as we watch one of Blue Sky Studio's last animated films (now available on Disney+). This fun spy caper stars the charming Will Smith as Agent Lance Sterling and his quirky tech specialist along for the ride is played by Tom Holland. This animated movie is funny and not just for the kiddos, we get to talk about the issue of Black characters turning into animals (too frequently IMO), and the funny dynamics between these two characters. So will this be a movie theatre regret or a Blockbuster (Redbox?) fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back with us to a year most of us will always look back on fondly, even if it wasn't great...2019!

We'll be getting to know a new rendition of a childhood fave and talking about Will's spin on a classic Robin Williams character Genie. So put your booty on the floor or in a chair, just don't go no where because you ain't neva had a pod like us! Will this be a movie theatre regret or a new Blockbuster (Disney+) fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back to 2017 with us as we watch Will Smith in Netflix's biggest original movie Bright, co-starring Joel Edgerton.

Take a trip back with us to 2016, when there was just only 1 Suicide Squad movie and almost every girl was Harley Quinn for Halloween. We're talking about 2016's Suicide Squad starring Will Smith as Dead Shot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, the two standout characters in this ensemble. Director David Ayer brings together this fun cast is full of standout actors like Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Jai Courtney, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Jared Leto. Hyped and well marketed, will this be a movie theatre regret or a Blockbuster fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back with us to 2015 as Will Smith stars for the first time alongside Margot Robbie in the heist drama Focus. Directed and written by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the team behind movies like Crazy, Stupid, Love. This stylized movie brings Will back front and center as a smart stylish con-man who by happenstance befriends and falls in love with Margot Robbie's character. Will this movie be a blockbuster fave and able to stand on it's own in a genre dominated by Ocean's Eleven or will it be a movie theatre regret and crash as it drifts in and out of various lanes?  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
Take a trip back to 2012 with us as we talk about Will and Jaden Smith in After Earth a sci-fi adventure that takes us forward into the future of 3071 when the earth is no longer inhabitable. We're not strangers to a film that has been notoriously panned in pop culture, but maybe they got it wrong once again? We're talking about this movie but also, how did this box office 'bomb' affect Will and Jaden's relationship and Will himself? This movie was conceived by Will and brought to life with help from director M. Night Shyamalan. Will this be a true movie theatre regret or a blockbuster fave? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loyaloats/message
