🕑 Added 2023-06-23 03:30:01 +0000 UTCWe complete our seven-year cycle of covering the DC Cinematic Universe with a review of The Flash: a gross mishmash of CGI dreck, digital necromancy, multiversal genocide, and actual criminal performances that serves as a fitting cap to the franchise and, why not, Cinema in general. Grab your popcorn, throw your baby in the microwave, and listen in!

Russia will beat Ukraine. Girls are better than boys.
Meadow Green
The boys riffing on Sodas is so good
CASEY FITZGERALD
we really need an animated version of the 'Sodas' discussion
Dustin Nelson
Did we do The Suicide Squad (2021) for DC? That was the rare genuinely good one
You guys didn’t watch Oppenheim? And I read this?

The pitch for Pixar's "Sodas" was really compelling following the Flash recap.

According to a VFX supervisor on The Flash that cause of the poor CGI was being force to low-bid competitors and horrible initial shots (invariable due to Miller's inability or unwillingness to perform in part) with unreasonable turn-arounds. Once again, it seems that corporations create mediocre and unreasonable/unsafe conditions and spend all the money on the media marketing (such an extraordinarily parasitic industry) counting on labor de-valuation and government subsidies to create their profit; with the ultimate goal as being monopolization so that mid-budget media can't be profitably created. https://www.cinemablend.com/superheroes/flash/the-flashs-cgi-criticized-crew-member-what-contributed-poor-vfx

"A rock monster attacks him and knocks him out of the Time Arena" I mean, sure, when you put it like that...

They agree with a lot of RFKs stances, why the nihilist dismissive take on him?

It depends on what they took before they sat down to watch. Coke? Dudes Rock movies like Top Gun Maverick. Weed? Chill beautiful movies like Avatar 2. Opiates? Terrible movies like whatever Felix likes ironically.
BabuFrick
Felix 100% did not watch this movie. “I watched a lo-rez torrent in 3 languages with ads”. Sure. More like before recording, he looked up some hot takes from Twitter leaks with clips or had Matt and Will give him some bullet points of some of the shittiest bits.

I’m in for the soda movie, but I want La Croix to have a Wisconsin accent, and say shit like ‘oh let’s drink out of the bubbler.’

Gosh dangit Bobby, can't you see superhero movies aren't making superheros better! It's making movies worse! The endpoint of AI is on demand, completely personalized and atomized, entertainment to whatever prompt you can give it. Simply ask the benevolent machine - "Show me Superman in prison fighting off the guys from Oz, but he has daddy issues." - and while it won't be anything approaching art, it will give the seals something to clap at. Another movie in the Chapo cannon, unfortunately, Ready Player One, this is an annoying plot point. Prophetic archon Steven Spielberg saw what that novel was. The protagonist uses VR to insert themselves into the movie War Games as Ferris Bueller and recite the lines 1980s movie War Games in order to progress or whatever, but insinuates that this is the only way people enjoy movies anymore. The only entertainment was regurgitated relics of the past, and the entire country was like Will's fellow movie goer.

Orcas are definitely comrades so very based

I’d actually like to hear a sincere list of modern films they actually do like lol.
Reece Coren
love how jonathon majors used his six seconds in the spotlight to do an ad for the army then abuse every woman he could get his hands on
Ethan Jones
He’s hallowed was perfect
C. Ries
Movies are obsolete. Video games are interactive media
Roary Break'er
The Batgirl didn't get released due to the Discovery buy out, not necessarily quality

You hate the movie because it's demonic trash, I love the movie because it's demonic trash. We are not the same.
Nathan E Simpson
Yeah if you’re 12 years old. Try reading a book without pictures

My famous cousin took her kid to shen yun and said it’s great because there’s not much stuff for kids to do anymore 😂😂😂

MCU made me hate anything comic book related
Aiden
From director Bill Menaker it’s “Slop: The Movie”
Maximilian
Read Manga that was actually written for adults you nerd.
Maximilian
The Soviet Union owned super girl not modern Russia. This shows the superiority of socialist technology.
PJ Renteria
Comic books are sick, y’all are lame.

I'm hoping that the Toronto live show has a reading of the Pops script.

Imagine being the type of person who feels strongly that the Chapo Trap House podcast needs to watch and appreciate “Enter the Spider-Verse 2” and stop being so negative about comic book movies

Who is going to play San Pellegrino?
