Space Spies

In this episode, we meet the worst employee in Bad Santa 2, watch the entirety of Mr. Church in the longest trailer ever, wonder who we can trust in Allied, and mildly fret about the plot of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Things mentioned:

• Bernie Mac was in the first Bad Santa.
• If it seems like you haven’t seen Eddie Murphy lately it’s because you haven’t. His last movie was 3 years ago.
• Allied is already on the awards circuit.
• Read this open letter to DC. It’s basically what Gillian ranted about in the previous episode but better.
• Speaking of awards talk, it looks like Nate Parker is trying to get out in front of rape allegations from his youth. There’s no way this will not hurt Birth of a Nation.

Sea of Split

In this episode we fall in love with the animation in Moana, wonder what Nic Cage is up to next in Dog Eat Dog, watch James McAvoy have the time of his live(s) in Split, and wonder what’s going on in The Sea of Trees. We also bitch about Suicide Squad.

• We’re not blaming David Ayer or the cast for the Suicide Squad debacle. It’s all on the studio.
• We both agree we want Amanda Waller to have her own movie. What an interesting character.
• If you like trashy movies you are a genius. Thanks for validating my choice at watching early Adam Sandler films.

The Fantastic Hacksaw Wall

In this episode, we take a tour of free-range child raising with Captain Fantastic, watch awesome child actors be Little Men, wonder how far you can get in war without a gun in Hacksaw Ridge, and wonder why Matt Damon is hanging out by The Great Wall.

Things mentioned

• Suicide Squad’s convoluted plot may be as a result of the Batman v. Superman debacle. BvS….the gift that keeps on giving.
• Preach Constance Wu.
•  This article contains a quote by the writers of Bad Moms and what they think their wives are like. Good lord.
• Matt Ross directed Captain Fantastic.
• Here’s where we’ll be at Tampa Bay Comic Con.
• Channing Tatum was born to play a merman.

Suicide synchronicity with Keanu

In this episode we watch what may be a backstory to Doctor Who in Synchronicity, wonder what audience Term Life is going for, get pumped to save a kitten with comedy in Keanu, and agree that the Suicide Squad does seem to be having a lot of fun being the bad guys.

 

• Here are famous people chiming in on #Oscarssowhite.
• Synchronicity came out in 2015. You can buy it on Amazon if you find this trailer interesting. Reviews are middling.
• Vince Vaughn really isn’t a total NRA guy. But he does think people should be allowed to carry guns at schools.
• The cast of ‘Suicide Squad’ does seem close. That’s nice:

A very special episode — It came from Comic-Con 2015

In a very special episode we talk about the three (official) trailers that came out of Comic-Con!

We are MORE than cautiously optimistic about the future of Star Wars, try to understand the dynamic of the super villains in Suicide Squad and can’t pick a side in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. (JK, Jaclyn totally chooses Batman).

What else did we mention? Oh just all of this

• New ‘Victorian, female Batman’ courtesy of Joss Whedon
• Con Man. Featuring our favorite Firefly man(s)
• The X-Men team has some good banter. Yum.
• Gina Torres is Zoe Washburne. Our apologies for ever forgetting.
