Talking Fanfare
🕑 Added 2020-10-11 05:31:52 +0000 UTCThis one has long been in demand - we're talkin' fanfare! Once, long ago we passed some great goals thanks to you lovely listeners. And unfortunately, they're not possible just yet so as a thank you in the meantime, we're deep diving into some real nerdy film shit. As especially requested by the fans, #thetwofriends discussed their favorite eras and variants of studio logos from the Big Six! Plus, Ben reveals some original fanfare concepts for Blank Check Pictures.
Reference this companion playlist and listen along.

Damn, wish they'd talked about the Simpsons Movie one during the 20th Century Fox section

This is the HEIGHT of niche movie content, you guys have really outdone yourselves. Pure joy listening 🥂🥂
Rachael

Matt Brown
David and Griffin, without question this is your crowning achievement. Throw this out of the paywall and it’s in Time’s top ten Podcasts.

Also, the Coming to America Paramount variant is one that’s stuck with me since I was like 5. Haha

This has to be the nerdiest thing you guys have done right?! And I know that’s pushing it but damn! And I freaking love it! So much fun. Thanks for the playlist! I didn’t follow along with everyone but I checked out every one you guys got really excited for!

This is my favorite thing y'all have ever done, and you've covered two of my three favorite films at this point. Cannot get enough of this!
Deren Ney
This was WONDERFUL. Loved it. Made me want you guys to do one on trailers!
Susannah B.
Please do Fincher! Lots to talk about, lots of amazing films. I personally think Benjamin Button has aged really beautifully
Isaiah Bornman
This was wonderful. Ready for FanFare Pt 4

Am I the only one who used to think the studios reflected in the gold of the WB logo were meant to be gold bars?
Tucker Rinehart
How about the Universal Waterworld variant? I remember my packed theater audience gasping during that one.
Matias Gonzalez
Did anyone noticed the Cat Ballou cowgirl in the Into The Spider-Verse Columbia Pictures variant?
George Seabrook
Guys, I know the movie isn't the biggest deal, but given that you shouted out Doom... why no talk about the Happy Death Day alteration to the Universal logo?? That's one of my favourite ever logo experiences, where it started repeating itself and I realised that maybe, this junky little slasher movie might be having more fun than it would have been given credit for. The only fanfare of recent years to outstrip that in terms of immediate excitement for me is the Fallout fanfare.

Fun Fact, The original MGM lion is buried in Long Hill, NJ which is one town over from where i grew up
Sam Russell
Masterpiece ep! Fave fun fact- John Williams wrote the Star Wars theme in the same key as the 20th Century Fox fanfare so it would feel of a piece. That’s partly why it’s so associated with Star Wars.
Caleb McKend
Ralph wiggum erasure!
Matt King
the Matrix fanfares are slightly different! Don Davis pitches up for every subsequent movie. really excited to hear what 4 sounds like
Morgan
Blank Check Animation Studios should be the fennel waving hello to the audience with the Blank Check Pictures logo
Morgan
Having never seem a single alien movie that distorted one freaked me the hell out. Also would love a talking fanfare part 2 as well. This is some real nerdy shit but I’m here for it
Ross Kroeber
Loving this so far and am VERY in for Griff’s mentioned Talking Fanfare 2: The Production Companies
Jordan B. Anderson
I like Griff as Mr. Serious.
Aaron Harvey
Think maybe you guys should have invited a graphic designer on for this one.... you know, context.
Nate Shu
Yeah, this is paywall content, alright
John Albrecht
Anyone else just do the Antonio Banderas laptop gif?
