NOW YOU SEE ME: Reviewed! 


You did it, you’re magic! That’s right! The third Now You See Me (aka Now You See Three aka Now You Don’t See Me So What Is It Exactly You’re Seeing Then) has come out this week so of course your boys are out here IN PODCAST LAND reviewing the first Now You See Me. It is pretty much ONLY SPOILERS. It is another Spoiler Special. We spoil the film early and then we continue to spoil specific scenes, big reveals, the whole shebang. Depending on where you’re at with the Now You See Me trilogy, proceed accordingly.


As we will similarly answer and respond to all mysteries and questions though, the real magic on the CCCAH this week is, as ever … the magic of … friendship. N’aww.  


Listener, once upon a time … Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt came up with a story. Then Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt wrote a screenplay. And finally Louis Leterrier directed a film. That film, ladies and gentlemen? Now You See Me. Then about twelve years later I watched it on Dailymotion while Christopher went to the movies to see the third film on the big screen and then your boys did a podcast covering it all. Bada bing bada boom, abracadabra son!  


You know what, just read the film’s Wikipedia instead of watching the film fuck it lol (if we didn’t do enough spoiling and plot talk for ya): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_You_See_Me_(film)


Jesse Eisenberg spoke about the new film Now You See Me Now You Don’t on Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Fallon found what Jesse Eisenberg was talking about very entertaining tbh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXz_-paavg

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: The bit where we talked over each other like three or four times … and then I looked up Michael Caine’s latest tweet and the *CLICKEDY CLACK CLICKEDY CLACK* sound of me typing on my keyboard just BOOMS in your ears. Christopher did warn me. But then he asked me to look something up so what are you gonna do? Swings and roundabouts … listener. Also I think we used the C word and didn't bleep it hahah!
