Zero to Zero

It's the second third of Suicide Squad and my brain hurts! The movie is hard to watch, but the Squad is here, and the Squad is Suicide. We even got two surprise bonus members: Slipknot and-

We even got a surprise bonus member: Katana! Welcome to the team! Pull up a chair and come listen to some hit songs with us! What's going on in this movie? Enchantress got a free hat!

Ah, jeez. We've really done it this time. We decided that it would be fun to watch the first 36 or so minutes of Suicide Squad (2016 film, not The). It wasn't! Amanda Waller is here, and she's got a plan to assemble a team of wacky weirdos. Is it a good plan? No. Is there any reason to do it? Not really. At least not until she does it, because Amanda Waller is a woman who enjoys to cause problems on purpose! Wish us luck! If Jared Leto keeps showing up, things are gonna get pretty dicey for our poor brains.

If you're a fan of buildings getting knocked over, this is the episode for you! We watched the last hour of Man of Steel and you can probably guess what happens. Remember how Bruce Wayne was mad in Batman v Superman? Well, this is the part of the movie where Zod and Clark team up to make that happen. Clark fights some semi-nameless goons, crashes some semi-nameless ships, and has a lot of fun doing it. Unless the #Snyderverse gets #Restored, this is our last DCEU Zack movie... but, unfortunately for us, our misery is far from over.

Well, the honeymoon is over. We were all so excited to go on our honeymoon with Henry Cavill, but it's all unraveling as we watch minutes 44 through 88 of Man of Steel. You know it's bad when we managed to talk about a third of the movie for the length of the whole movie! How is the chemistry between Amy Adams and Henry Cavill so bad? Why does Pa Kent wish death on all children? Why is Alex Jones being invited onto CNN? And just who was that mysterious hat-wearing man at Pa Kent's grave? Maybe we'll find out next time when Metropolis gets blown up for an hour.

After a cumulative runtime of 425 minutes of bad movie, we've arrived at the promised land: Man of Steel. The Snyderverse movie that people generally agree is the least worst. Will we agree? So far, yes! It's a movie! It's less than three hours long! What more could you possibly want? The bar is set so low, this has to be the correct watch order! Thank you, Zack!

Before we can even think about thinking about Man of Steel, we've got a lot to unpack about Batman v Superman and the DCEU at large. In this freewheelin' (read: disorganized and generally disgraceful but also good) episode, we attempt to pick up the pieces of our shattered brains before getting to all of the questions that have built up since we realized our episodes are already way too long without trying to answer questions every week. Changing the format in the middle of a season? It's more likely than you think! We're good at podcast.

Another movie down! This week we watched the last 45 minutes or so of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now that the boys are friends, Batman heads to the warehouse to kill a bunch of guys, Superman heads to Metropolis to fight a CGI monster man, and Lois hucks a spear around a bunch. Also, Lex goes to prison! Well deserved!

At long last, we've made it! We've arrived at minutes 73 through 133 of Batman v Superman, the part where Batman v's Superman! It's not all about the fight though: Lex Luthor also gets down to some mass-murderous shenanigans and some unbearable monologues! Also, Martian Manhunter is here, maybe? It's impossible to know for sure.

"Ahoy," haha! This week we're watching 40 Minute Chunk #2 of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition, and it's boat time! Yarr! The world's greatest detective, The Bat Vigilante in Gotham, has finally gotten to the bottom of his most mysterious mystery yet: what does "White Portuguese" mean? Well, it turns out it doesn't matter to the plot of the movie, but it does have a unique power over Gigalithic. Meanwhile, Daily Planet sports reporter Clark Kent does an investigation of his own. Will he catch the serial killer who has been terrorizing Gotham for 20 years, Bruce Wayne? I hope he doesn't let him go when he does!

Oh no, we decided to do more! We're back in zacktion (haha) with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition! Unlike Justice League, this movie doesn't have convenient chapters to break this into, but it's also 3 hours long, so this week we're just watching the first 43 minutes for our own safety. It starts as any Batman movie should: with Bruce Wayne's parents getting murdered! Thank god, I've always wondered what happened to them! Also, Lex Luthor is here! Great!
