Gus and André come into the studio and have their breath stolen from them (a term coined by critic Priya Leigh) to discuss celebrity sightings including Jacob Elordi, Troye Sivan, and Jane Campion. Why are they all so...just like us? The two Buffs then enter a pitching contest between "Gangas" and "Etc Etc Etc..." - two compelling productions set deep inside the Nation's hole. Gus protects his right to not have a favourite Canberra song, while André celebrates Cate Shortland's 35mm screening of Somersault (2004) at the Australian Fyshwick, Telopea, and Roundabout School. Fights break out but the love games win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Da uns beiden diese Woche dringende Verpflichtungen um die Ohren flogen, müssen wir die angekündigte Folge zu Turtles 3 leider um eine Woche verschieben. Darum gibt es heute eine Folge zu einem Marvel-Film von 2021, der aber immerhin chronologisch ziemlich genau da in Phase drei angesiedelt ist, wo wir gerade dran sind - nämlich am Ende von Captain America: Civil War. Neben dem Film selbst geht es heute um Black Widow in den Comics, um Marvels Konkursverfahren in den 90ern, um Bond-Filme und um Phase IV des MCU. Wir haben es nochmal exakt herausgesucht, weil wir in der Folge selbst nur aus dem Stegreif schätzen mussten: Avengers Infinity War spielte weltweit $2,048,359,754 ein. Und Avengers Endgame sogar ganze $2,797,501,328.

Scarlett Johansson verabschiedet sich mit dieser Single-Auskopplung aus dem Marvel-Universum. Zum Glück! Denn Johansson vergeudet in diesem Franchise ihr Talent. Cate Shortland inszeniert mit „Black Widow“ einen düsteren Agentenfilm, der zunächst nicht viel mit dem Superhelden-Kosmos gemein zu haben scheint. Erst im Laufe des Films wird aus dem 130-minütigen Werk ein weiteres Action-Abenteuer, das hoffentlich bald in den Abgrund der Filmgeschichte rutschen wird. Anders, moderner, emanzipatorischer sollte die Titelfigur nun gestaltet werden, was vor allem bedeutet, auf sexy Posen zu verzichten und stattdessen tiefe Einblicke in die Seele zu geben. Familienstreitigkeiten aus den 1990er-Jahren werden neu aufgewärmt, und wieder geht es um eine große Verschwörung mit einem Superschurken, der den Willen der Black Widows steuern kann. Es ist ein ärgerlicher, langweiliger Film. Auch die ironischen Brüche können nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass wir permanent mit Gefühligkeiten zugeschüttet werden. Das Drehbuch will aus den Figuren und den Zuschauern ein paar abgeschmackte Emotionen pressen. Rührend! Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M. Schmitt im Podcast!

The title for this episode comes from something Rob says towards the end of this chat, which I think sums up this film brilliantly. After reviews (spoilers: we loved it), we talk about a number of things to do with the incredible artifice of this film, and its brutality, and (strangely enough) its use of architecture.  Next Up Our next Latin American film is the Peruvian drama MADEINUSA, from 2005.

Roger Ebert wasn't always on the money, but this is a pretty good review of the ‘churn[ing…] furious energy' of the film: /www.rogerebert.com/reviews/city-of-god-2003. And this is another good review about the story-telling genius at the heart of this movie: www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2004/06/the-movie-review-city-of-god/69527.

Director Justin Kurzel and writer Shaun Grant join the Cinema Australia Podcast to discuss their latest collaboration, Nitram. Nitram is a brilliant but highly disturbing film, that will no doubt divide audiences. It depicts the events leading up to one of the darkest chapters in Australian history - the Port Arthur shootings. Kurzel and Grant have been making movies together since 2011 as director and writer respectively. Their first film, Snowtown, landed like a sledgehammer and marked the arrival of two extraordinary filmmaking talents. Nitram is their third collaboration following Snowtown, and the provocative joy ride that is True History of the Kelly Gang. Kurzel's filmography also includes Macbeth and Assissin's Creed, which both starred Michael Fassbender. He also directed a segment of one of my favourite Australian films, The Turning. Shaun Grant's other writing credits include Berlin Syndrome directed by Cate Shortland, Jasper Jones directed by Rachel Perkins, an episode of the American television series Mindhunter, and another film released this year, and another on of my favourites, Penguin Bloom. We do go into some depth during this interview, and I understand that it may not be easy listening for everyone. We discuss the pairs thoughts on Port Arthur conspiracies, Justin's discussions with victims, and why they wanted to make a film about Martin Bryant. Kurzel and Grant also discuss their eagerness to see Nitram with an Australian audience, and being knocked back by Screen Australia before going on to work with Stan and Madman to make the film. It's not all serious though, we do have a few laughs along the way and I ask a question that gets quite a reaction: What happened to Sean Keenan's unbelievably cool cowboy cardigan from True History of the Kelly Gang. Anyway… enjoy.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 12, 2021 is: adversary • AD-ver-sair-ee • noun Adversary is a word for an enemy or opponent. // The adversaries met at the negotiating table again, hoping to reach an agreement. See the entry > Examples: "Large-scale special effects and intrepid derring-do are wedded to themes of clan solidarity, compassion toward adversaries and contrition for past misdeeds in director Cate Shortland's Marvel Comics-derived action adventure." — The Arlington (Virginia) Catholic Herald, 2 Aug. 2021 Did you know? Adversary comes from Latin advertere, meaning "to turn toward." The vertere of advertere means "to turn" and is the source of a number of English words. Along with obvious derivatives like inadvertent and adverse are some surprises, including anniversary, vertebra, and prose (this last coming by way of a Latin contraction of a form of the verb provertere, meaning "to turn forward").

It was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on May 1, 2020, but COVID-19 left Disney to delay it to November 6, 2020, then May 7, 2021, and at last July 9, 2021 via theaters and Disney+ Premier Access. Directed by Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome), the film also stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostakoff, and Ray Winstone as Dreykov.

Instrucciones aquí. https://www.patreon.com/posts/suscripciones-en-40782787Es 1995 y la jovencita Natasha y su hermana Yelena han sido sustraídas del hermoso entorno familiar en el que han crecido en los últimos tres años. ¿El propósito? Convertirse en armas mortales que trabajen para el beneficio de la madre Rusia, siendo formadas en el Cuarto Rojo y convirtiéndose en Viudas Negras. El tiempo pasa y las circunstancias hacen que en el pasado cercano se vuelvan a cruzar sus caminos para que juntas busquen destruir al maldito patriarcado rojo opresor. Lo único que tendrán que hacer es desmantelar una organización secreta y eliminar al Harvey Weinstein de la ex Unión Soviética.El personaje de Natasha Romanoff, el cual ha sido llevada a la gran pantalla por Scarlett Johansson, es uno de los más irregulares dentro de las cintas. Su caracterización es inconsistente y más que reflejar una evolución de personaje, parecía dejarse llevar por la moda del momento, cambiando no solo corte de cabello sino personalidad. Claro, eso podría ser entendible en una súper espía que debe trabajar encubierta, pero… el problema es que desde que fue introducida en la cinta de Iron Man 2, siempre ha sido un agente de la ley, excepto en ese breve periodo en que, hasta el Capitán Puerto Rico, digo, América era un fugitivo. El cliché de la espía soviética sexy viene de la mano de la figura de la mujer fatal. Una fémina joven y atractiva que utiliza sus encantos para ser espía bajo una apariencia inocente. Debe ser idealista, motivada por la venganza y siempre debe establecer vínculos con el enemigo. ¿Te suena familiar? Natasha representa este personaje, pero bajo el enfoque de la redención y con altas dosis de acción. Es una fantasía de origen masculino, y muy distante a la figura idílica de mujer empoderada que surge de una isla de fantasía y se convierte en inspiración para nuevas generaciones. En palabras de la Yelena de Florence Pugh, “no es la asesina a la que las niñas llaman heroína”. Y eso es lo que volvería al personaje de Scarlett Johanson algo interesante. Un perfil independiente de orígenes familiares o de realeza, una figura de invención y reinvención que a pesar de no tener poderes, está al mismo nivel de los dioses del Partenón marvelita. Si tan solo tuviera un momento para brillar en su propia historia, la cual llega como capítulo de relleno, después de más de una veintena de cintas, y tras la muerte del personaje en la continuidad regular. Pero eso también es otro problema con la temporalidad y el lanzamiento de la cinta. La muerte es irrelevante. Después de todo, tenemos personajes ficticios y podemos contar sus historias sin respetar un orden, pero tras el climax que ha sido celebrado por 10 años de trabajo que culminaron en una aventura épica que necesitó no una sino dos películas, y en donde hay pérdidas importantes de las que el mundo jamás se lograría recuperar, el volver a presentar a uno de los personajes ahí fallecidos como si nada, hace que se pierda impacto. ¿Murió Tony Stark? No hay problema, podemos contar sus locas aventuras armamentistas de la prepa. ¿Visión fue destruido? No hay problema ¡puede tener su propia serie de televisión! Al cabo es un robot y podemos reconstruirlo. ¿Loki se sacrificó y redimió en una historia? Eso no nos impide darle su propia serie en donde exploraremos el multiverso. La muerte carece de peso y relevancia en la ficción marvelita. Mientras que se busca establecer la historia y el personaje de Black Widow dentro de un entorno más “realista”, en donde ante la ausencia de poderes, podemos enfocarnos en las consecuencias de las acciones y ponernos un minuto más serios, el propósito se diluye conforme avanza la cinta. A pesar de contar con la dirección de Cate Shortland, quien previamente ha escrito y dirigido historias sobre una chica que abandona su casa y se redescubre en los Alpes, en el caso de Somersault, o una mujer que debe mostrarle a su familia la verdad sobre las creencias de sus padres en una Alemania nazi, el cuidado y la seriedad con la que ha tocado esos temas se desvanece en el momento mismo en que debe trabajar por encargo para Disney/Marvel. Temas como la trata de blancas, la sumisión femenina impuesta por figuras de autoridad masculinas, la confrontación con la culpa y el trauma ocasionado al ser instrumentos de la búsqueda de alguien más son rebajados gracias a los chistes, un par de escenas de acción con efectos visuales y en donde la aromaterapia es la solución para eliminar bloqueos y que las chicas manipuladas alcancen todo su potencial a través de la libertad. La cinta cuenta con grandes aciertos. Los mejores momentos vienen en la dinámica familiar en donde Florence Pugh dice verdades incómodas, Scarlett Johanson es la hermana mayor regañona, David Harbour es el padre amoroso y divertido, aunque no muy brillante pero capaz de hacer todo por su familia, y Rachel Weisz interpreta a la Black Martha de este universo al ser la madre ausente pero brillante que hacía todo en pro del conocimiento. ¿El problema? Es que esta es una familia que solo tuvieron 3 años de convivencia y fueron separados ya que ni siquiera eran una verdadera familia. Son la versión Marvel de The Americans, una célula de espías olvidados y traídos al juego a conveniencia de la historia y en donde cualquier dinámica y vínculo familiar existe solo por que el guión lo requiere, no por que tenga sentido o se establezca correctamente.Por otro lado, tenemos a la gran amenaza capaz de duplicar, mejorar y acabar con cualquier vengador: Task Master es una figura que en papel suena temible, pero en la práctica, tanto en los cómics como en la película, no muerde tanto como ladra. Es una versión rebajada del Winter Soldier en donde no hay un vínculo emocional con el personaje, aunque se fuerce el establecerlo dentro del juego de culpa y pérdida de la protagonista, quien tristemente se convierte en personaje secundario de su propia película en buena parte de esta, en donde se debería buscar darle consistencia a un personaje ya formado y establecido, aunque también este es parte del problema con la historia. No vemos una historia de origen (afortunadamente), sino que tenemos a un personaje que, si bien es inconsistente, ya está definido. No hay mucho camino de crecimiento para el mismo. Un problema que comparte con otro personaje de la compañía, el cual se ganó la antipatía de las mayorías al presentarse perfecto y sin defectos, sin necesidades de grandes lecciones. La cinta se estrenó de manera simultanea en salas de cine y en la plataforma digital, en ambos lados con el impuesto Disney para recaudar más dinero. La experiencia cambia en el formato en el que se decida ver la película, gracias a al menos tres secuencias de acción en donde los hilos se notan menos en la gran pantalla. Curiosamente el enfoque más familiar hacen que las dinámicas entre Alexei, Yelena, Natasha y Black Martha, digo Melina, tengan mejor potencial para un sitcom televisivo que reemplace las Locas Aventuras de Wanda la Loca, que para una película de acción en donde no se siente el peso de la acción, y aunque busca emular elementos de cintas de Bourne o Misión Imposible, queda muy por debajo ya que en su universo no existen consecuencias, incluso si nuestra “heroína” comete acciones que matan a miles de personas pero ¡no importa! Seguro eran rusos malos o algo así. Para finalizar, debo decir que, a pesar de esta gran cantidad de comentarios negativos, al momento de ver la cinta, la disfruté bastante. Es un buen producto de divertimento para verse en la gran pantalla. O en la pequeña, en caso de ya darle su manutención mensual al ratón del castillo. Solo no hay que darle la seriedad con la que desea ser tomada esta película, para poder disfrutarla.

0:19 Richard CatarinoWhat's your favorite costume in the MCU and why? Mine is Captain America's “Avengers: Endgame” suit because I think the scales on it really make it pop. Seems to be a good balance of practical and flashy.2:53 Giuseppe VicarettiReally not sure if we, or you, have ever gone in depth with this, but.... Knowing how much we all have a general "want" for Sam Rockwell to comeback in his role as Justin Hammer, out of pure speculation, how would you want to incorporate him into the upcoming stories we are about to see in this next phase?7:49 LincWho are 3 underutilised characters you'd like to see made more use of, and why? Knowing the slate ahead in cinema and on Disney+, would there be natural spots to include them, like Zemo in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, or would you prefer they be surprising, like Darcy showing up in Wandavision?16:01 Woo S KimIs there any MCU film's Box Office you were surprised and or let down that the film didn't make more then it probably should have, for example, I thought "Captain America: The Winter Solider" should have made more cash than it did, not saying the Box Office was awful far from it, but I thought it deserved to make a Billion Dollars, what say you Sean?20:42 Mike FieldsFor the sake of problem solving - Maybe they should consider a paid Disney Plus realease with a simultaneous theatre release.  Say $39 (roughly the cost of 3 tix).  That way it can offset amounts lost for theatres closed or people who are scared to go to theatres.  I think this could hurt marvel the most due to continuity and dependency of other films/shows. May truly need to think outside the box if the coronavirus continues to spread.  Lots of details to iron and not really in line with the disney+ model, but anyone think its possible?30:03 Matt GilbertDid Thanos snap out half of The Eternals? Perhaps the Infinity Stones made him powerful enough to overcome the mandate of The Celestials? Might their blip-back be the basis for their coming out of hiding?32:53 LincHow long do you think the MCU will keep going without having to recast the original members? Given there's enough material from Marvel to not have to revisit Tony and Steve for a while, especially now that they have the Fox priorities back. Do you think audience demand for interactions between Steve and Tony with the forthcoming Eternals, mutants and first family introductions could accelerate their return or a recasting? I can't help but to think audiences would be disappointed if they bring them back with different actors in the roles.40:52 Bryan R LI think we call can agree that the outside world, though they are catching up, doesn't show the love and don't value Kevin Feige as much as he deserves. However, on the flip side, people “in the know” like all us- do we give Feige TOO MUCH credit and not enough to his peers and directors?45:24 Anthony LawreyIF Black Widow was postponed, do you think that would be a positive or negative thing for Cate Shortland? I'd imagine when you make a film you always wonder “what if I did this instead?” so I'm curious if it would be something where she's glad she has more time in the editing room or if it would be a bad thing for her to worry about what could have been.

Sean answers your Marvel questions!01:32 Woo S! KimAfter seeing what has happened on Marvel Television series' this past year and I didn't believe you fully for years, Sean.  Whether it be on Superhero News, on this podcast when it was called “Making Mine Marvel” or when you rebranded the podcast to its current name that the Marvel TV universe wasn't fully connected with the MCU proper universe, I concede your point, you were correct and I was incorrect perhaps this may change after the Disney/FOX perhaps it will, possibly it may not.  My question is there are so many names for humans with powers in Marvel right now and there will be a famous name that Disney will be able to use in the very near future, I am currently starting Season Two of “The Runawayz” what would you call the characters that have powers on that series?  Going back to my earlier statement could one call them Mutants because my geek mind is remembering that there are some Mutants  that get their powers not through natural genetic mutation, would you be alright with Marvel TV using the name Mutants, even though certain characters will never reference the or team up with the X-Men? Or would you prefer Marvel TV using the term that Captain Rogers used in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”  “Enhanced.”  Me personally there are so many different types of humans with powers in Marvel, and there is going to be even more in two years in the MCU, unless they are identified as an Inhuman etc. I just call a human with powers, a “Hybrid Human.” I may have gotten that name from a Marvel comic, I can't recall.   What are your thoughts, Sean?5:38 Woo S! KimI remember before “Avengers Infinity War” you did not like the idea of the Iron Spider armour from the source material being brought over into the MCU reason being because you said the color scheme from the comics Iron Spider looked too similar from Iron Man's Red and Gold armour, being that Feige and his team differentiated the MCU version from the comics, do you like the Iron Spider Armor in “Avengers: Infinity War?” Also, do you think the Iron Spider armor is a nanotech attachment I just say that because of how the armor connected with Spidey above Earth's atmosphere and how Spidey's armor looks almost exactly like Iron Man's Nanotech Armor, especially how their helmets come on and off in “Avengers: Infinity War”    Lastly, I would prefer in future Avengers films, if Tom Holland's Spidey is going to stick around for the long haul, that he use some version of The Iron Spider armor, what say you, Sean?08:28 Woo S! KimSelfishly after seeing the “Captain Marvel” Special Look on January 7th, after seeing Captain Danvers in the tavern with Nick Fury, I want Thor to survive the Battle with Thanos so we can see a drinking contest between Captain Danvers v. Thor in a future Avengers film, I think Captain Danvers has a good chance of out drinking Thor, what are your thoughts Sean?09:22 Paul ShearmanHey Sean and patrons hope you're all well this week. So, Spider-Man Far From Home trailer - wow! I won't post spoilers in case people haven't seen it yet, but I loved it. The stand out question for me, of course, is - pre or post snap?Im sure you'll be covering the whole trailer (this would be very weird if you didn't!) and I'm looking forward to catching your video reaction later on (one bit in particular at the end I'm sure will be really fun to watch your reaction!).Thanks for your time Sean, and enjoy the rest of your week everyone!13:43 Zachary KleinsasserHey Sean and fellow patrons! Hope everyone is having a great week. I had a thought during your Spider-Man rant on the January 11th Daily Bugle. If Marvel is in talks to purchase Spider-Man and bring him back home, what happens to the ‘Into the Spiderverse' Franchise. I loved that movie and it propelled Miles's and Peter's Spidermen to the top of my favorite lists. I would hate to see the potential for what that universe could be go away. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for all that you do!17:22 Alex WardHi Sean and patrons! Great talking with many of you in Discord yet again this week! I was wondering, do you think Marvel Studios will treat X-Men like the Guardians in terms of having their own team-movie series from the get-go, or will they more likely set them up as their own sub-franchise like the Avengers, where we see separate movies first (maybe, in this case, Wolverine, Storm, Brotherhood of Mutants, etc.) come together for an event "X-Men" movie? Or are the characters too interdependent on each other to standalone, at least through Marvel Studios' perspective? I can't help but think Marvel Studios has bigger plans for X-Men than many of us expect!21:11 Spencer ToycenHey there, Sean! Just a quick question regarding the Kree-Skrull War and possible MCU storylines. Is there any room for Rick Jones in the MCU? He's been a sidekick to everyone, most notably sharing atoms with Mar-Vell, but there's zero chance he'll show up in couple months.Thanks for the podcast and all the hard work!23:42 Alex WardWhat do you think is implied by the construction scene in the Far From Home trailer, and what do you hope it means? https://twitter.com/CharlesMurphTHS/status/1085244708094382084?s=1927:46 AlexSo Sean, it just dawned on me  that there could be some problems with bringing the X-Men and Fantastic Four instead the same world. Particularly since the X-Men are traditionally hated and disliked while the FF are traditionally beloved. I get that there is difference between being a mutant like Charles Xavier and a mutate like Reed Richards but  would people in real life really even care to make that distinction?  Why would the public fear and detest Mutants like Scott Summers and Jean Grey while at the same time revere Mutates who are arguably freakier than a lot of Mutants like Mr. Fantastic — who can stretch? And especially The Thing who's literally the most freakish of them all? Why are the FF not even commonly mistaken for Mutants when there's already an overlap between them and the Mutants? These are serious logic questions that Feige and his team have to address in order to make the integration of these characters they're getting from Fox believable. 32:40 Alexif Peyton Reed were to be offered a choice between directing the first ever MCU Fantastic Four or directing the third installment of Ant-Man which do you imagine  he'd choose over the other? I'm sure you know as well I do  that Peyton has always expressed interest in directing FF and he was even tapped to direct the movie as far as the earl 2000's before  he left over creative differences. Reed in a recent Colider Q&A for Ant-Man & The Wasp pointed out that Feige was there as an assistant developing the movie so Feige is aware of Reed's interest in the property therefore making him a very strong candidate to direct FF.  It would be interesting for things to come full circle and he ends up directing the film but my problem is I'm no fan of Reed(the director, not the stretchy guy)  and would much rather have an independent new director who brings something new to the table like Ryan Coogler, Jon Watts,  Chloé Zhao and Cate Shortland. Sure the Russo's started out making Captain America films before helming  two big Avengers films but that should be the exception to the rule and I'd still much prefer a different director take over director duties for  the FF.37:42 David RosenHey Sean and Friends! Another week, another MCU trailer. It looks like Sony/Marvel tried to do their best in terms of not giving away when this movie takes place, including photo-shopping Peter's passport to remove all the years,  including when it was issued as it seems Peter is picking up it up from a Passport office and that would give it away (although I wonder if he didn't need one to go Germany in Civil War). However, I was wondering if Nick Fury's clothes might also give away something, as he's back in his black outfit, which we haven't seen him wear since CA: Winter Soldier. Since he was still wearing street clothes in the Infinity Way post-credits scene, is the fact that he's back in black a clue that this takes place after Avengers, End Game?40:47 Alex WardOne major Avenger we haven't seen onscreen yet is She-Hulk, but I suspect this partially has to do with the Universal deal, and partially to do with her somewhat-sexist superhero name. Do you think it's possible that if Bruce dies in Endgame or gets "cured," that the next Hulk will be Jennifer Walters (perhaps dropping the "She-")?42:07 Brett HeierHey Sean! I just watched the Spiderman Far From Home trailer, I thought it looked amazing. In one scene Nick Fury and someone else are shooting at the Earth elemental. The other person looked similar to Maria Hill. Do you agree or think that is someone else. Another thing, when Mysterio shows up his powers seem very real, I know he's a special effects master but his powers looked similar to Dr. Strange's. Also, do you think maybe the elementals are just projections by Mysterio so he can look like a hero? Finally, there has been a lot of talk about there being a Sif show. Personally, I would love to see that. I know you would rather have her in a Valkerye show, but what are your thoughts about sif's possible show and her absence from Thor Ragnarok. As always, thanks for having an awesome podcast!47:24 Michael Louis WeaselboyHey Sean I how is your week going?? I hope it is well. So I just watched the Spiderman Far From Home Trailer I loved seeing Mysterio for that brief second and the action looks cool as well. One think I am wondering about tho is what is Vultures role in it?? We know Michael Keaton is in the movie but do you think he has a brief cameo or maybe just a bit part? Thoughts??49:12 AlexWhat are the chances of Nick Fury actually be the Chameleon in disguise who's in cahoots with Mysterio?51:01 Xavier ArquerosHi Sean and fellow Patrons. So I'm going to L.A. in early May and I want to see Avengers Endgame in the best movie theatre possible. I would love a Dolby Cinema or a great IMAX screen. Thanks Sean, keep the good work.53:51 Hector Giovanni NavarreteHey Sean and fellow Patrons! So with Nick Fury appearing at the end of IW and potentially coming back in AE, starring in CM, as well as being in SM FFH, and that rumor that said he was either going to be in a D+ series or lead one; do you believe he is going to have an important role in the MCU moving forward past AE and into Phase 4 (if that's what it's called)? If so, how do you think he will be used? I'm glad that he is coming back after a long absence after AoU!55:58 Derek BeebeHi Sean, this is my first time Qing for your A, so I apologize if this has already been done. What do you think of the current Marvel cartoons?  (Avengers, Spider-Man, GOTG)  Are you watching them on the reg? I just read an article rumoring they're about to cancel all the series for the Disney Plus switch.  Do you know anything about that?57:25 Derek BeebeWhat did you think of the last generation of Marvel cartoons?  (Avengers EMH, Spectacular Spiderman, Wolverine and X-Men, Iron Man Armored Adventures)  I was particularly enamored with AEMH and SSPM!57:29 Derek BeebeWhat's your opinion of the 90s Spider-Man and X-Men series?  Those were my introduction to the comics and they hold a special place in my heart, though both had terrible final seasons.58:46 Derek BeebeWhy would Peter know who Nick Fury is in Far From Home?  Isn't he a secret spy?  (you answered this in Discord but I figure it makes for good radio)1:00:17 Derek BeebeWhat's your opinion on when Far From Home takes place?1:00:30 Derek BeebeIf Mysterio is an American character, what's his excuse for showing up when these monsters attack in Europe?1:00:57 AlexWhat do you think about my idea  of when the MCU X-Men happens  the they have the X-Men  get in the colorful comic-accurate costumes and MCU Wolverine laments the fact that they wear such flashy costumes only for MCU Scott to respond with,"What would you prefer black1 leather spandex?" See what I did there?1:01:29 AlexHow would you handle the FF's celebrity status in the MCU if they might potentially will appearing in the MCU as modern day heroes  after the Avengers and Spider-Man have shown to be big superhero celebrities already?1:03:25 AlexWhen discussing the prospect of ending the era of the MCU that started in 2008 with ''Iron Man" Feige cited The Star Trek Next Generation series finale ''All Good Things..'' as a reference for how to wrap up a series.  Though obviously the MCU will continue past Endgame have you for curiosity's sake checked out that episode of Trek and I realize I'm asking you this question not knowing whether or not you're a Star Trek fan.  When Feige  mentioned that episode he pointed out that episode wasn't about death  but about the finality it brought to the characters --namely Picard in which he pointed out that character started playing poker with the rest of crew which should've done earlier.  While obviously that doesn't mean nobody will die  since Fiege was merely using that as  an example to illustrate his point but I gotta say it makes me wonder can Marvel get away with not really killing anybody in Endgame?1:10:16 Moonie HassanHey Sean, so I was having a discussion about what the FFH indicates to the end of Endgame, if what Feige said was true about FFH picking up minutes right after Endgame, then doesn't the tone from the FFH trailer seem a bit off? You would think it would be a bit more somber or down, unless the hero's that were dusted return without any memory of what happened in Infinity War, thoughts?1:15:11 Hector Giovanni NavarreteIn regards to the D+ series, would the actor reprising their roles to play these characters have had to have signed new deals/contracts in order to do so? I am assuming they did have to. If so, is that a good sign that these actors/actresses like playing these characters in the MCU? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We return from our nice tourist break holiday, to discuss Cate Shortland's nightmarish tourist break kidnap thriller, 'Berlin Syndrome'. Scratching and gnawing at the lines between intimacy and captivity, Shortland's film can be as romantic as it is nerve-wracking, but it's always exhilarating at ever step of the way. Discussing the film this week are Jenna Hobbs and Helen Seymour.Created and produced by Jake CunninghamStudio services by CSRFM.comMusic supplied by incompetech.com Hosted on Acast.
