Just when we thought the summer was over, and with it our hopes for a good comic book movie, along comes Blue Beetle. Is it the greatest comic book movie ever? No. But it might be the best of this year, and that’s not nothing.
Enjoy!
The Flash
Ezra Miller is a garbage person. We won’t everyone to know that even if The Flash was a good movie, it would still be kind of awful because of how terrible Miller has been IRL. That said, The Flash didn’t really impress anyone here at COtR, with the range being somewhere between “meh” and “the worst comic book movie ever”. Definitely an entertaining episode.
Enjoy!
The Batman
The “World’s Greatest Detective” is at it again in Matt Reeves latest interpretation of the cowled crusader, The Batman. This movie has already proven to be one of the more successful films in the DC catalog, and it already finds itself on the IMDB Top 250 list, which is no small task. That being said, we managed to disagree about much of this ultra dark film, but don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
Enjoy!
DC Fandome
This week we discuss some of the news to come out of the DC event, DC Fandome. We can all agree that the name left something to be desired, but did Warner Bros give us enough new information to get us excited about Wonder Woman 84, The Batman, The Suicide Squad, and the Snyder cut of Justice League? We even dive into the first looks of some of the new video games being release from DC. So much on the horizon, so much of it looks dull.
Enjoy!
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
This week we try to understand what was going on in the latest DC film, Birds of Prey. The reviews were good, and I know several people who really liked it, and DC is on about as good a roll as they’ve been on lately, so this should have been a slam dunk at the box office. So what went wrong? I don’t know that we actually come up with any answers to that question, but we still talk about it a lot. I definitely believe that there are people who will disagree with us, but we would love to hear why. We are always open to other people’s opinions.
Enjoy!
Joker
This week we discuss the very divisive film, Joker. Certainly none of us share the same opinion, but we all found things that we enjoyed, and definitely some things that made our blood boil. Whether you liked, loved, or hated this film, I hope you can at least appreciate its ability to spark a conversation. Please let us know how you felt about this one!
Enjoy!
Aquaman & Bumblebee
These movies could have easily been the nail in the coffin of each their franchises, but against all odds they seemed to have actually revived them. I am just as surprised as anyone. I can give no higher praise to Aquaman than this, my mom watched it by herself and really liked it.
Enjoy!
Justice League
There has definitely been a love/hate relationship with the DCEU here at COtR, and the latest addition to that cinematic world is no exception. What I will say, this episode was a lot less heated than our conversations about Man of Steel or Batman vs. Superman, so maybe we are all growing up a little, and learning how to suppress our emotions...like adults do.
Enjoy!
