Hey everybody! Welcome to the very 1st episode of Reel Of Thieves. I'm Pete, and on this show, we go over new films and shows and break them down to find all the references and riffs they make. This episode, we talk about Gunpowder Milkshake. This might be a title that's confusing for some, and that's because its a reference to the structure of the film. This isn't a random title: this is literally a blended shake of some great action films. But does that mean it works? What did they take and what did they leave behind? Was it a good decision? Was it on purpose, or by happenstance? We go over all that in under 20 minutes. So, what are you waiting for?! Check us out!

This week, I'm diving deep, deep into James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. This is one I really love, and one that I think you should go out and support more on whatever platform you see fit. This is a love letter to Comic Book Movies and kind of a goodbye letter, so keep that in mind going in. As always, I recommend seeing the movie before listening to the show. This is available on HBO Max, so go check it out there if that's the best way! THIS FILM NEEDS EYEBALLS PEOPLE!

Reel of Thieves is a show produced, written, recorded, edited all by me, Pete. I even run all of the social media! Thanks again for supporting me and what I'm doing over here.
