Thinking Outside The Long Box

The DCEU has had countless opportunities to get it’s act together. And for all the trying that they have done, they’ve got arguably, two or three films that people really enjoy. The direction of their universe has changed multiple times, and our topic today is just one more change in direction. Since the last Batman left, pretty unceremoniously, it was time for Robert Pattinson to dawn the cowl and see how far he can take The Batman!

“Batman ventures into Gotham City’s underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans become clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.”

This story of Batman is not really an origin story, because who needs to see his parents die one more time on the screen? Nobody! BUT, it is a story that happens to take place early into Bruce Wayne’s time as Batman. In this early story, we are introduced to Falcone, The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, and MAYBE one more baddy! Take the time to give it a watch, and let us know if you think that Pattinson did a good job carrying on the Batman legacy!

It’s time to go all the way back to the year 1979!!! It’s that time for a pop culture classic! We are of course talking about the film that starting a media franchise in Alien!! We spoke first about the movie Aliens, a while ago. The reason we did that is because we thought that Aliens was the stronger/better movie. BUT, we figured, at this point, it’s time to talk about a movie that is still a really good movie, that started a whole line of other movies, soon to be TV series, and a successful line of comic books! 

“In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.”

Alien tells the story of a scavenger crew aboard a ship that has to change their route, in order to answer what they think is a distress call! Of course, upon finding the ship that the call comes from, all hell breaks loose. A creature hatches from an egg, and is let upon the ship. Nothing good comes from this, except the future of the saga of course!

I’m not exactly sure where to start with today’s episode!! We were thinking of sticking to an alien/extraterrestrial theme for the next few sets of episodes. The problem is, that we of course haven’t seen these new movies, and were trusting google to help us with this task. In The Earth was the movie that google told me had aliens in it, and was a horror film!

“As the world searches for a cure to a devastating virus, a scientist and a park scout venture deep into the woods. As night falls, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness as the forest comes to life around them.” 

Well suffice to say that this movie has absolutely nothing to do with aliens! It does seem to be a post apocalyptic film of some sort where this group of people are working together on a project. The project, you’ll come to find out, has evolved from what it was when everyone set out on the journey! Two crew members are tasked with finding a lost scientist out in the forest, and things go sideways fast when they encounter an older gentleman in the same forest!

Our commitment to bring back comic book topics has officially begun! This podcast started with a bigger commitment to the comic book genre, and we’re taking it back!! This time we’re talking about an X-Men book that was recommended by Doyle. We’re talking about X-Men Inferno!

“THE CULMINATION OF JONATHAN HICKMAN’S X-MEN BEGINS HERE! “There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Promises were made and broken. The rulers of Krakoa have been playing a dangerous game with a dangerous woman, and they are about to see how badly that can burn them.”

Doyle himself explains that this might not have been the best launching off point, only because it drops you right in the middle of a story that has already been developed a ton! But, this is the end of the Jonathan Hickman era, and so it is still a good read!

This is one of the stranger topics that we’ve spoken about, in recent memory! Maybe not strange because of the content that this movie is filled with, but strange because we aren’t sure that this movie knows what kind of movie it is!? We’re talking about the “horror” film, Immanence. 

“Radio astronomers discover a mysterious signal in the deep sea that could be contact with extraterrestrials. After several terrifying manifestations threaten their beliefs, the team must fight to survive the ultimate evil.”

At the beginning the team is detecting something from space, and they think that this might be a chance for them to find extraterrestrials. BUT, as the movie goes on and on, there are so many different genre’s that are slammed together, that the movie no longer makes much sense. It turns from an alien film, to a straight sci-fi, then there are demons and the devil. As always, we recommend watching everything that we talk about, but definitely know that you might come away being a bit confused!

Netflix has been paying top dollar the last few years, for some big names to come to their platform, and try and put out some good movies/TV shows!! Today’s topic is no different, pulling in The Rock, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds for a fun spy movie!! We are of course talking about the Netflix film, Red Notice!

“In the world of international crime, an Interpol agent attempts to hunt down and capture the world’s most wanted art thief.”

Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot are both super spies who generally, while respecting each other, are not on the same side of their respective teams! The Rock’s character has been framed for something that he didn’t do, and has to utilize both Gadot and Reynolds in order to find something that will prove his innocence, and hopefully land both spies in jail! The twist at the end was something different, and maybe not totally unexpected, the way it was done was. If you haven’t, you should definitely give it a watch!

Our live/not live episode is time for us to get back to our roots! While this episode is always about us chatting and telling each other about our lives from the last couple of weeks, we took this time to delve into a little bit of comic books! Doyle recommended, maybe a little zealous, for us to read the X-Men comic book story, Inferno, which came out in 2021!

“THE CULMINATION OF JONATHAN HICKMAN‘S X-MEN BEGINS HERE! “There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Promises were made and broken. The rulers of Krakoa have been playing a dangerous game with a dangerous woman, and they are about to see how badly that can burn them”

We both read the book, but it might have been a little smarter to start with volume one, even though that volume is HUGE and we would have spent forever trying to catch up. BUT, while the comic book was a little confusing, not knowing what happened from volume one, the art is really good, and it was a fun story to read! Our change, to go back to comic books is an exciting one, and we’re excited to find our next topics!

We’ve spoken about The Book of Boba Fett already for one episode! We spoke about the first half of the series, and about what we might anticipate seeing through the rest of the series, and I’m not sure that any of us predicted what we got! In today’s episode, we’re speaking about the back half of the Disney Plus series!

“The Book of Boba Fett, a thrilling Star Wars adventure, finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate.”

What did end up getting was more Mandalorian than we thought we’d ever get, a small dose of Ashoka, with a major injection of Luke and Grogu!! This turned out to be more about the world around Boba Fett, than a book designed to be ABOUT Boba Fett. Is that a bad thing? A good thing? Does it matter? What did you all think?

It’s pop culture classic time and we are going PG for this one!! It was a Patreon choice, and they took us all the way back to 1988, to the time of dinosaurs!! We’re talking about the beloved children’s film, The Land Before Time!

“Littlefoot (Gabriel Damon), a young plant-eating dinosaur, is orphaned after his mother (Helen Shaver) perishes while protecting him from a vicious carnivore. With her last breath, she tells him how to get to the legendary Great Valley, where he will be reunited with others of his kind. With his friend Cera (Candace Hutson), Littlefoot sets out for the fabled land, meeting a variety of new friends along the way — while also being tracked by the killer dinosaur that mortally wounded his mother.”

Littlefoot and his band of misfit dinosaurs have to travel to the Great Valley in order to survive and find their families! This is one of the first children’s movies that I can remember watching, and it held up pretty well. Of course the animation has moved forward a bunch in movies now, but there’s still something about this movie that has a wear place in peoples’ hearts!

There is honestly not much to say about today’s topic, in the form of a plot, or some kind of story. If you’ve watched anything Jackass, then you know that there is no intention in any of their movies, aside from getting themselves hurt, and making the audience absolutely fall over laughing, at their paint! Today, we’re talking about their latest entry in the Jackass saga, and maybe the original crew’s last, Jackass Forever!

“Celebrate the joy of a perfectly executed shot to the groin as Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the rest of the gang return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd and often dangerous displays of stunts and comedy.”

Like I said, you know the Jackass routine. People do crazy stuff, and get hurt doing them. There are many gratuitous penis shots, and more than anybody’s fair share of shots to the cup! This movie did do something different though, as it felt more like a passing of the baton, than a normal sequel. There are many new faces for everyone to laugh at, and to hopefully care the torch moving forward. After all, it will eventually become unfunny, and more scary, to keep watching Johnny Knoxville and the original cast getting hurt into the seventies! But, this is a very good continuation in the series, and one that had me laughing throughout it’s entire run time!
