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!

Ep 86 – Space Jam: A New Legacy with Alli Harris

“Are you a Tune or a Goon?”

Back in 1996, there was a movie that shook the foundation of the world (Tuong’s world at least) combining the zany Looney Tunes playing a high stakes game of basketball alongside Michael Jordan against a group of talent stealing alien MonStars! Fast forward 25 years and we finally get a sequel . Was it worth the wait? Did this even need to happen? Join the two biggest Space Jam nerds on the planet Tuong and Alli Harris as they get looney talking all things Space Jam: A New Legacy!

Ep 85 – Loki (2021) with Taylor Fleming

“Glorious Purpose”.

Ever since Thor (2011) Tom Hiddleston has won the Marvel audience with his now iconic portrayal of Loki. After the rise of popularity of the character, Loki came back over and over in several movies and now a TV show! So join us as Tuong and Taylor Fleming tackle the third Marvel TV show and talk all about the God of Mischief, Time Cops, and the the Multiverse in 2021’s Loki series!

Ep 84 – Black Widow (2021) with Patricia Eddu

“I’m done running from my past.”

It’s been over 2 years since we have got a proper movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (since Spider-Man: Far From Home came out in June of 2019 to be exact). While the Disney+ Marvel shows have been doing a great job in their own rights expanding the universe, there was a lot of appetite to see a feature length movie in the MCU. After multiple multiple delays from the pandemic, the time has come finally to the nerds to rejoice! Was it worth the wait? Join Tuong and the Strongest Avenger Patricia Eddu as they talk about long anticipated Black Widow!
