Great news for fans of The Suicide Squad: this whole movie is The Suicide Squad! We're watching the second part of it and things are heating up in Corto Maltese! We've got the hottest ships in town: Thinkmaker, Peacemaker x Reader, and maybe more! Looks like everyone wants a piece of Peacemaker... including Rick Flag! Hopefully that's all fine and nothing bad happens! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
They decided to give us another competently made movie! We're watching the first third of The Suicide Squad, and talking about all the things it does better than the original. Or, one might say, how it does all things better than the original! For example, there is a weasel named Weasel who is a weasel, and a shark named Shark who is a shark. Nice!!!

Wonder Woman 1984 truly is a land of contrasts! The third act may not be good, but they definitely saved some of the best parts for last. There's some acting, some emotions, a climax that isn't just a punching fight with a CGI monster... It doesn't save the movie by any means, but they were doing some stuff here! It's a shame Kristen Wiig wasn't around to see it. She had to leave so they could do a punching fight with a CGI monster. Oops! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Act 2 of Wonder Woman 1984 hits you like a sledgehammer straight to the brain! Steve is a caveman! Wonder Woman is a five thousand year old anthropologist who doesn't know what happened to Rome! The extremely messed up circumstances of their romance are basically unquestioned! Wonder Woman forgets that the movie has a villain! Please help us! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Time for a normal movie! We're watching act 1 of Wonder Woman 1984, which people might like. Join us as we break down the way too long opening, the way too straight friendship between Diana and Barbara, and the way too creepy romance between Diana and Some Guy's Stolen Body! Classic eighties things! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Could it be possible? A movie that is good from beginning to end? In this day and age? It's more likely than you think! Let's give thanks to Cathy Yan and Christina Hodson for going to the trouble of making Birds of Prey good! Hey, how do you give thanks again? Is it by talking about poopoo peepee? I hope so, or this episode is going to be a real swing and a miss! (Harley Quinn baseball bat reference) Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
In the second act of Birds of Prey, the movie continues to be good! Lots of great sicko content and leg destruction to keep us entertained, plus we meet a new character who many are saying is the crossbow killer. We've had a great time with the movie so far... here's hoping the third act isn't ruined by Sionis drinking Big CGI Monster Boss Battle Juice! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
The wave of "pretty good" to "good" movies continues, with Birds of Prey and the Way Too Big, Long Movie Title! They decided to pull out all the stops with this one: a great cast, doing great acting, with great costume design (according to the two of us who notice that stuff.) This movie got THEMES?! Also, Zsasz takes some faces off! Yucko! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Rejoice! In an unprecedented result, the third act of Shazam was actually the best part of the movie! Dr. Sivana is a next level creep, the foster kids are simply nice, and the villain is defeated through a clever brain play instead of the hero getting mad and punching a CGI monster harder than before. What an ending! I wonder what happened to that caterpillar though?? Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
We took a week off for The Holidays but we're back in 2022 to talk about the second third of Shazam! It's not terrible, but not particularly good either. Fortunately we still managed to wring two hours of discussion out of this viewing, due in no small part to Dr. Sivana fully looking like Sans. Thank god! The podcast is saved!
