Binge Buddies

Sound the alarms, because the Binge Buddies are wading straight into a cinematic dumpster fire. >

Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." This week, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are suffering through the jarring tonal whiplash of 2017's theatrical Justice League—or as we affectionately call it, the "Josstice League." The guys are breaking down the infamous collision of directorial visions that resulted in this Frankenstein's monster of a superhero team-up. From the sheer horror of Henry Cavill's digitally erased mustache and painfully forced quips, to Steppenwolf's PS2-era graphics and a completely butchered color palette, we're dissecting every mismatched puzzle piece. Did any of Joss Whedon's reshoots actually work, or is this the biggest misfire in comic book movie history? Grab a fire extinguisher and hit play—we're trying to survive the wreckage!

The Binge Buddies are stepping onto the battlefield, and we're taking a look at a modern superhero classic—problematic third act and all.

Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are shedding the grimdark shadows of Gotham and Metropolis to bask in the radiant glory of 2017's Wonder Woman. Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot completely revitalized the DCEU with this sweeping, hopeful World War I epic, but the guys aren't holding back on the elephant in the trenches. Join the crew as they celebrate the breathtaking No Man's Land sequence, the incredible chemistry between Diana and Chris Pine's Steve Trevor, and the film's status as a milestone for the genre—before diving headfirst into that messy, CGI-heavy, mustache-twirling Ares finale. Grab your Lasso of Truth and hit play; it's time to find out if love can truly save the world!

Fire up the chainsaws, because episode three of Binge Buddies is cutting into one of the most chaotic chapters of the DCEU. >

Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." This week, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are assembling Task Force X to tackle David Ayer's undeniably rough-around-the-edges 2016 Suicide Squad. From the neon-soaked, pop-music-fueled editing room to the infamous behind-the-scenes studio meddling, the guys are dissecting the movie's messy cinematic legacy. Did Margot Robbie’s pitch-perfect debut as Harley Quinn and Will Smith’s carrying-the-team charisma as Deadshot save the mission? Or did Jared Leto’s tattooed Joker and a world-ending CGI villain leave this anti-hero team-up dead on arrival? Rev up those engines, grab your baseball bats, and hit play—we're breaking into Belle Reve!

The red curtain is pulling back on episode two, and the Binge Buddies are bringing out the heavy artillery. >

Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are plunging deep into the three-hour, R-rated cinematic crucible of Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But we aren't settling for the theatrical release—the guys are tackling the full 182-minute Ultimate Edition to see if the extra half-hour of footage truly redeems the film's controversial reputation. Join the crew as they dissect Lex Luthor's expanded puppet-master manipulations, Lois Lane's intricate Africa subplot, and the darker, fleshed-out motivations driving Henry Cavill's Clark Kent and Ben Affleck's brutal Bruce Wayne. We're breaking down every bat-brand and dramatic "Martha" moment, so grab your kryptonite spear and hit play!
