Throw on another log to the fire because we are bringing the heat for this year’s Christmas special!

Before we all knew it, we realized that ‘Christmas Crushes’ is definitely a thing so we might as well do what we do best…and rank it!

Ep 87 – The Suicide Squad (2021) with Matt Barrow

“So this is the famous Suicide Squad…”

Wait didn’t this movie already happen a few years ago?! Back in 2016, the comic book world was hyped to see their favorite villains team up in DC’s own Guardians of the Galaxy type of movie – pitting a bunch of NOT morally good characters together to save the world. After much build up, that movie turned out to be a massive disappointment and loathed by many. Since then, a few characters from that movie endured and have broke out to appear in several more movies, such as Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, but it always seemed like such a missed opportunity to not see this beloved comic book property properly adapted to the big screen like it always deserved. Well fast forward to 2021 and Guardians of the Galaxy’s James Gunn decided to take another stab at it! Join Tuong and Task Force X Villain Matt Barrow as they see if the second times a charm and talk about 2021’s The Suicide Squad!

So join Tuong and Sea Creature/Love Is Pod’s Cassie Pyatt as they dive deep into the latest Pixar original and talk about the colourful Itlalian inspired world of 2021’s Luca!

Ep 69 – Zack Snyder’s Justice League AKA The Snydercut (2021) with Angus MacDonald and Matt Barrow

“There Are Six, Not Five. There Is No Us Without Him.”

The Snydercut is one of the weirdest things to happen in film in a long time. The Justice League came out in 2017 which was finished by another director and had a sub-par reception to it upon it’s release. Since then, the internet and even cast members were demanding the big studios to help realize Zack Snyder’s original vision of this movie with #ReleasetheSnyderCut. With enough persistence and whining, the internet finally got it’s way and the people actually got a new cut of this movie. So join Tuong, Matt Barrow, and Angus Macdonald as they watch over four hours of brooding and a lot of ideas crammed into one thing as they talk about Zack Snyder’s Justice League!

Ep 58 – Bumblebee (2018) with Vinny Francois

“Where is Optimus Prime?!”

Back in 2007 Michael Bay launched one the most beloved shows/toys from our childhood into a live-action franchise that took over the world by storm. After 4 sequels, he also ran that sucker right into the ground creating the most convoluted, explosion festish-y, and overly serious movies that were just supposed to be about transforming robots punching each other. We all were ready to write off Transformers for good until….now?! Join Tuong and Improv College’s Vinny Francois as they make like Autobots and Roll Out their thoughts on 2018’s latest Transformer’s movie – Bumblebee!
