ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA

I never expected the Ant-Man movies to make it to three, even with Paul Rudd’s inexhaustible charm. I DEFINITELY never expected the third film to be the one that opens wide the gates on the major villain for the Multiverse Saga. But here we are. The whole ant-family reunites and then gets sucked down into the Quantum Realm as Scott (Rudd), Hope (Evangeline Lilly), Hank (Michael Douglas), Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Cassie (Kathryn Newton) have to contend with a seriously psychedelic under-universe, tons of crazy aliens, and the time/parallel dimension traveller Kang (Jonathan Majors) who was initially introduced as an alternate variant in the Disney Plus show Loki. Here’s where the MCU shows its hand of what to expect going forward through Phases 5 & 6. But is it a heartfelt father-daughter bonding film AND a crazy CGI fest? Listen to Chris, Danni, Wright, and Drew give their thoughts.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Danni Button (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)

Danni’s expertise lies in comic books, superhero movies, science fiction/fantasy, horror, and cheesy dad jokes. They spent 5 years creating YouTube content about comic books for The Weirdlings, and now they’ve awoken from the Geeksleep ready to speculate about various multiverses, fandom life, and weird but adorable ‘ships.
