To Infinity War and Beyond

03/13/19 • 46 min

In its opening weekend, Captain Marvel managed to exceed expectations by bringing in $153 million domestically and $455 worldwide. This all happened despite a large number of mixed reviews and even trolls who tried to sink the audience review scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

To add a little perspective to these numbers, Captain Marvel now ranks as the sixth largest worldwide opening in history. It's seventh on the list of US openings. Also, in the US, Captain Marvel scored Marvel’s second-largest domestic opening weekend for a film that isn’t either a sequel or an Avengers team-up. (Black Panther is the largest with $202 million in 2018.)

It's pretty safe to say that Captain Marvel is a success. At least it's a success in terms of finances. But what about in terms of how good of a movie it is?

Join Val, Tracy, Jake, and two special guests as they share their thoughts on Captain Marvel. What was good, what was bad, and what was just okay. Be warned, spoilers will be plentiful. And here's a small spoiler for you... Their initial thoughts on the movie are different after having thought about them for a few days.

Captain Marvel Teaser

Captain Marvel had a huge opening weekend and it's taking us a bit to wrap our heads around it all. As such, we need a few extra days to finish up our next episode in which we will be discussing our thoughts, the good and the bad, about the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but don't go anywhere because the wait will be worth it. Thanks for your support!

Can you believe that it's been fifteen years since Tina Fey's first screenplay, Mean Girls hit theaters? Fifteen years since the world was first introduced to Cady Heron and Regina George. It's been fifteen years since Gretchen Wieners tried to make "fetch" happen. It didn't happen. (At least I don't think it happened.) And it's been fifteen years since Glen Coco received four candy canes!

Mean Girls is a timeless film. There's really no other way to describe it. It's timeless, not because it reminds us of better times, but because it reminds us of real times. Everybody can relate to something in this movie. We all knew a Regina George; "the Plastics" were in each of our schools. Heck, they may even be in our offices today. The situations are real. Even as horrible and as awkward as they are, we've all been there, or at least we know someone who has. We have all lived it.

Mean Girls is a piece of each of us which is why it is so universally loved. It is also why it's the next movie that Val, Tracy, and Jake discuss. Listen as they talk about why believe that it holds up after a decade and a half. They also share some of their favorite quotes and scenes. There is a lot of laughter and fun involved. Only listen if you're prepared to enjoy yourself.

Do you have any thoughts about Mean Girls that you want to share with us? What about any other feedback or maybe there is a movie you would like us to discuss on an upcoming episode? Let us know at [email protected].
