Shazam! Fury Of The Gods review

Popcorn Podcast

03/19/23 • 47 min

It's superhero sequel time with Popcorn Podcast's unmissable movie review of Shazam! Fury Of The Gods. DC's first film release since James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins of DC Studios has a lot of expectations riding on it, even though most of the film was completed before they came onboard. Will the continued adventures of Billy Batson (Asher Angel/Zachary Levi) and his new battle against a vengeful trio of ancient gods (Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu and Rachel Zegler) be enough to cement the first steps of this revamped DC era successfully? Tune in to the no spoiler review to find out.

Plus, Quentin Tarantino's final film hits close to home; Ben Affleck’s Batflick backflip; the first full trailer for Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid is here; Jenna Ortega cast in her most perfect role yet; and a quick Oscars breakdown – all this and more scooped into another salty bite-sized episode.
