DCEU Movies | We Were Wrong About (Watching) "Suicide Squad" (Again)

Explicit content warning

05/13/21 • 119 min

Continuing their extended (and extensive) reperusal of the DC Extended Universe movies, Luciano and Matt, along with Chris and Spencer, take on the massive turd known as Suicide Squad. No, not The Suicide Squad – that one hasn't come out yet (as of the publishing of this episode). This is the original turd (and hopefully the only turd... Margot Robbie deserves better).

Anyway, I digress. Oh, do you know who else digresses (a lot)? All four of those nerds. Holy shit, you'd think that they wouldn't blabber on for TWO HOURS about a movie they all pretty much agree sucks, but they did. Hell, the episode is almost as long as the goddamned movie itself! What the fuck is this, a play by play? Geez...

DCEU Movies | At Least One Martha Was Wrong About "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

Moving along on their journey to analyse the movies of the DC Extended Universe, Matt and Luciano are once again joined by Spencer and Chris, this time to discuss Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This is a movie with a notoriously convoluted plot, woefully bad takes on beloved characters (I'm looking at you, Jesse Eisenberg), iconically-shitty scenes (still looking at you, Jolly Rancher boy... not to mention the memetastic "Martha v Martha" resolution to the titular fight). Will Chris and/or Spencer still find it in themselves to somehow think this is a good movie, despite all that? Will Luciano and/or Matt, for that matter, even in spite of themselves?

DCEU Movies | You've Been Wrong For Over 100 Years About "Wonder Woman"

Next on Matt and Luciano's (and Chris and Spencer's) deep dive into the movies of the DC Extended Universe is a wonderful breath of fresh air: Wonder Woman!

Set 100 years in the past, in the dawn of the 20th century, this one tells the story of Diana's journey from Amazon princess to fully-fledged hero: her origins, in the wonderland island of Themyscira; her first encounter with Man – one Steve Trevor, who wonders into the magically-hidden isle by accident; her departure from the safety of her ancestral home into the "real" world, a place that quickly fills her with both dread and wonderment; the full impact of humanity's darker side and the wonderlessness of war; and the final fulfilment of her destiny, starting with her wonderworks on the war front and culminating in a wondrous battle against the enemy she was born to counter.
You're not going to want to miss this one!
