This week we tackle James Gunn's newest (and last) entry in the MCU - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! A highly emotional character-based film, this movie picks up where *checks notes* the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special left off. Featuring a star-studded -- almost to the point of feeling bloated -- cast, GOTG3 delivers on all the goofs, gags, and guffaws one comes to expect from a James Gunn entry. A refreshing (wink) if not unpolished film, this does feel like a return to form for the MCU. But with James Gunn departing to head the new DCU, and with this being the first serviceable film to come out of Marvel Studios in the recent past, it is hard to say that this gets the MCU back on track. Nevertheless, this film will deliver on laughs and emotions for the general viewer. But... Is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Good?

This week we discuss Ari Aster's Midsommar! Starring Florence Pugh, this is a fun, light-hearted tale about realizing your self-worth, dropping the emotional baggage you bear, and wearing fun new accessories. Just kidding HAHA this film is spooky, a folk horror film about a dysfunctional couple who travels to Sweden and accidentally gets caught up in some sort of weird sexy death cult. Along the way, bad things happen and we get to watch them. But... Is Midsommar Good?

LET THE RECORD REFLECT THIS DAY, MAY 1ST, 2023: We did not explicitly say this on this week's episode, but we would like to nominate this film for the Golden Good award. So that kind of answers the question we asked above, but you should still listen anyways, please.

This week, we discuss Ari Aster's new film - Beau is Afraid! This film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Beau Wassermann, a soft-spoken man overwhelmed by anxiety and fear who takes a surreal journey to get home to his overbearing mother. Along the way, he confronts some of his greatest fears and learns more about the world, for better or worse. This film can at times feel over-the-top, but it is clear that its message is powerful - If you can catch it. But... Is Beau Is Afraid Good?

This week, we discuss Mary Harron's American Psycho! Based on the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis and starring Christian Bale accompanied by Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Samantha Mathis, and Reese Witherspoon among others, American Psycho follows Patrick Bateman (Bale), a New York Investment banker by day who is a serial killer by night. There is an idea of American Psycho. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real movie. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though it can hide its' cold gaze, and you can watch it and see colors with your rods and cones, and maybe you can even sense that the cinematography or tone of the film suits you, it simply is not there. But... Is American Psycho Good?

Hey guys, welcome back to the But Is It Good Podcast. Be sure to smash that like and subscribe button. This week, Hunter and Zach actually went and saw Air in theaters, and now they are going to review it no cap. On God, this movie was straight bussin from start to finish. You probably don’t know, but we did some research and found out that Michael Jordan was actually a real athlete. This movie was no doubt our vibe… But Is Air Good? Stay tuned for Part 2.

Note: this is satire, our impersonation of your average TikTok buckfoi. Please do not mistake this for how we actually talk. Also there is no part 2. That would be dumb, a mere trick to increase engagement. We provide the full product in one, nicely wrapped package for your listening enjoyment.

This week we discuss the latest film in the DC Universe - Shazam! Fury of the Gods - directed by David F. Sandberg and starring Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Grace Caroline Currey, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rachel Zegler, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, Meagan Good, Lucy Liu, Djimon Hounsou, and Helen Mirren. Continuing where the first film left off, this film follows Billy Batson and his family of superheroes (Shazamily) empowered by the magic of the ancient wizard, Shazam. This film has drawn the discontent of many fans who struggle to see how an artifact of a toppled Warner Brothers regime can relate and connect with the new DCEU led by James Gunn. Nonetheless, any film should be able to stand on its' own legs and not rely on the ceaseless industry of interconnected content... right? Does this newest installment have the magic it needs to set itself apart, or has it been disenchanted by the studio circumstance it finds itself in? Listen to find out: But... Is Shazam! Fury of the Gods Good?
