You're Wrong

Continuing their extended (and extensive) reperusal of the DC Extended Universe movies, Luciano and Matt, along with Chris and Spencer, take on the massive turd known as Suicide Squad. No, not The Suicide Squad – that one hasn't come out yet (as of the publishing of this episode). This is the original turd (and hopefully the only turd... Margot Robbie deserves better).

Anyway, I digress. Oh, do you know who else digresses (a lot)? All four of those nerds. Holy shit, you'd think that they wouldn't blabber on for TWO HOURS about a movie they all pretty much agree sucks, but they did. Hell, the episode is almost as long as the goddamned movie itself! What the fuck is this, a play by play? Geez...

Moving along on their journey to analyse the movies of the DC Extended Universe, Matt and Luciano are once again joined by Spencer and Chris, this time to discuss Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This is a movie with a notoriously convoluted plot, woefully bad takes on beloved characters (I'm looking at you, Jesse Eisenberg), iconically-shitty scenes (still looking at you, Jolly Rancher boy... not to mention the memetastic "Martha v Martha" resolution to the titular fight). Will Chris and/or Spencer still find it in themselves to somehow think this is a good movie, despite all that? Will Luciano and/or Matt, for that matter, even in spite of themselves?

As you know, at the end of the last episode, Luciano and Matt realised just how wrong Chris and Spencer (and you) were about Snyder Cut, so the decided they needed to go back to the beginning and analyse the entire DC Extended Universe with them along for the ride, so that they (and you) can finally understand the error of their (and your) ways.

So this is how we find ourselves here, listening to them talk about the movie that gave birth to the DCEU: Superman Begins! I mean, Man of Steel! What are its faults and what are its merits? How did the decisions made prior to and during this movie affect and influence the cinematic universe it spawned? How badly did Warner Bros. shit the bed right from the get-go (spoiler alert: very)? Does anyone in this episode know how math or numbers work in any way, shape or form (spoiler alert: not really)?

I really wanted to say "moving on to the next movie in Matt and Luciano's deep dive into the DCEU", but apparently they have friends who are not only completely wrong about the Snyder Cut, but also don't even have the decency of being ashamed about it.
 
Ever the gracious friends, our hosts, in their vaunted benevolence, decided to give said friends – Chris *bleep* and Spencer – a venue to humiliate themselv— uh, that is, explain the reasons behind their (wrong) opinions about Zack's Snyder's take on Justice League.

Gird your loins again, everyone. Shit got real (dumb) this week!

Welcome to a new You're Wrong series! This time, spurred on by the much-awaited release of the Zack Snyder's Justice League (a.k.a. the Snyder Cut), Luciano and Matt will endeavour to analyse and discuss the movies of the DC Extended Universe!

And what better entry to start with than the Snyder Cut itself? It's rare to see a movie be "fixed" and re-released after critiques have been made and complaints have been filed, especially one that can draw from movies that came after the original was released. Moreover, this is a 4-hour-long behemoth of a movie – try to imagine just how much complaining those two can cram in about it? Besides... SEO gold like this doesn't just grow on trees, you know.

So strap in (no, seriously... this thing is ginormous. I'm shook they kept it under 2 hours, to be honest) and come hear what the crotchety old fogeys have to say about this one!

We finally reach the conclusion (for now) of Matt and Luciano's detailed (read: overly-long) and diligent (read: protracted) analysis of what Disney did (thus far) after backing a truckful of money onto George Lucas' driveway and walking away with the rights to our beloved Star Wars franchise! It is also, specifically, the conclusion of their analysis of Season 2 of The Mandalorian.

So much happens in these four episodes, holy crap. We learn Baby Yoda's name! Beloved characters from other Star Wars movies and shows get/steal some (or a lot of) spotlight! Beloved characters from this Star Wars show make an reappearance! We get an actual, proper conclusion to a story arc (and before it was milked to death and ruined, to boot)!

Lots of interesting things to talk about, lots of things for those two bastards to complain about, and most importantly, lots of things for you to be wrong about. Ah, who am I kidding, lots of things you're definitely wrong about. You really don't want to miss this one!

Luciano and Matt continue their dissection of Star Wars as imagined by Disney this week, and as they do so, they finally arrive at Season 2 of The Mandalorian!  

Season 1 was pretty ballin'... can Season 2 live up to both its own hype on top of the precedent set by Season 1? What were our hosts expectations going in? Luciano hadn't seen it before, Matt had; did that make any difference in how they experienced it? How wrong were you about what you thought, and how many easter eggs and references did you miss?

Only one way to find out...

Another week, another episode of Matt & Luciano's inquest into Star Wars under Disney's auspices! Today, they continue analysing The Mandalorian -- specifically, Chapters 5 to 8 and the conclusion of Season 1.

Following an unprecedented flash of self-awareness, our favourite curmudgeons actually managed to realise their disjointed blabbing barely makes sense to them, let alone anyone else, so they decided to remedy it by implementing something called episode structure... I know, right? Groundbreaking stuff. 🙄

In any case, they discuss the tail end of this first Season: how it measured up to their expectations, what they thought of the story, the characters, and also what their expectations are for Season 2 (well, mostly for Luciano, since he had somehow managed to not have watched S2 when they recorded this) in terms of plot and character development (and the show as a whole, really).

This week, Luciano & Matt's deep-dive into Disney's take on Star Wars finally veers away from the feature-length films and into the first ever live-action series in the Star Wars universe: The Mandalorian!

In order to (try and) keep things (mostly) sane, each season of the show will be split into 2 episodes, to allow our dear hosts as much time as they feel they need to rambl— that is, dissect the story and the characters. In this first stab at analysing the series, they'll tackle Chapters 1 to 4.

Given the awful, bitter taste The Rise of Skywalker left in its wake, what were their expectations going in? Did the show live up to them? What were their chief complaints? How can they possibly be this annoying? Give the episode a listen and find out (and if you discover the answer to that last question... please let me know)!

Next up on Matt & Luciano's Star Wars deep-dive is the abomination known as "The Rise of Skywalker", the last movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy (and the last movie of the whole "Skywalker saga", in fact).

Look, you've seen the title of this episode, you read the summary. It's no secret: they both hate it. Hell, if you've been listening to You're Wrong for any length of time, you've known this for a while now, what with how much and how often they bring this dreck up, even when the discussion has nothing to do with Star Wars.

Well... now the conversation is about Star Wars. And specifically about this movie. So, like the Sith of old, they let their hate flow through them and were finally able to give this piece of shit the thorough, no holds barred beating it deserves. It's definitely worth a listen.
