MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

Daniel joins Melvin in discussing the second Rotten-rated film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania! Critics have been critical, and fans have been mildly amused. But, what about us? Tune in to find out! 

Topics: 

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 35-minutes discussing The Flash trailer, Ezra Miller's influential escapades, James Gunn's future changes for DC, and so much more! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
  • Melvin wastes little time criticizing the outsized scope of the film, a borderline-Shakespearian world-ending character exploration flick written and directed by individuals whose previous work include bit-comedy, a functionally and fundamentally different style of storytelling. 
  • Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quuntamania is 125-minutes and barely anything happens. 
  • After two comedy-heist features, it feels weird for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to take itself so seriously... and also not really be a heist movie. 
  • Melvin and Daniel agree that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania isn't particularly good, but they don't agree with the extreme distaste toward the film.  
  • Daniel shares an epiphany he had during his theater experience, one surrounded by teens and nerdbros. 
  • Melvin complains about what he's calling the "Multiverse Narrative Confusion" that Marvel's Cinematic Universe is currently experiencing. Daniel elaborates further on the Multiverse problem. 
  • Talking M.O.D.O.K. 
  • Melvin and Daniel begin pitching various comedy bits and motifs for their version of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, one that is more in tune with the comedy of it's previous films. 
  • Pondering the general diminishing return of the MCU. 

Recommendations: 

  • Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. (2021) (TV-Series) 
  • Insidious (2011) Movie 
  • CSB Experiencing God Bible
