Podcast appearances and mentions of Florence Pugh

Avengers assemble! In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Marvel's newest superhero movie--Thunderbolts* starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The 36th MCU film's marketing campaign promoted IMAX and A24 more than the actual movie, so we were curious to see how it all came together. We analyze the movie's surprising villain--Bob aka Sentry, mental health themes, and backstory plot holes.We dissect the film's lack of diverse casting and Ava Starr's minimal storylines, explain why there was too much homework needed to understand the film, highlight our favorite moments, like David Harbour's comedic timing as Alexei Shostakov, question why Bucky Barnes is a US Congressman, predict who will be in Sam Wilson's Avengers, and debate whether Valentina deserved to have a happy ending.

Reunited, and it feels so good ...After taking a breather during the Milwaukee Film Festival (more on that in a moment), Dori and Kpolly got back behind the microphone to talk about the latest Marvel movie, Thunderbolts*. Due in part to the break in recording, this might be the first time in Cinebuds history that a film changed its title between its release and getting discussed on the podcast — nice to know the Marvel Cinematic Universe can still keep us on our toes 36 movies in.You'll hear our hosts talk about the focus on mental health that hovers over Thunderbolts*, the ideas about found family (or teammates), David Harbour's welcome heaping helping of comic relief amid many other brooding characters and Florence Pugh's commitment to her role that saw her leap off a 2,000-foot skyscraper.Of course, we couldn't close the episode with getting a quick Milwaukee Film Festival report from Kpolly, who happily notes the event's 47% increase in attendance per theater.

On today's special episode of Final Cut, hosts Walter Fedczuk and Chase Wassenar take some time to share some vulnerability about their mental health journeys before delving into the first Marvel film in years that could make that topic relevant: Thunderbolts*. Together, they discuss Florence Pugh's amazing performance, how the film manages its cast, and whether this movie did enough to give them hope for future MCU projects.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rough Drafts Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on BlueSky.

Robert talks about growing up in a musical household, his band Rooney getting featured on The O.C., auditioning for The Princess Diaries with Anne Hathaway, his brother Jason Schwartzman and what he learned from his uncle, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola.

In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Thunderbolts* aka The New Avengers. He shares why it reminded him of Phase 1, why Florence Pugh is the best actor in Marvel, and his theory as to why Marvel spoiled their own movie so quickly! He also shares where it ranks in Phase 5 of the MCU and he predicts what will be the best movie of Phase 6. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about “The Smashing Machine” Starring The Rock. It’s a gritty A24 biopic about UFC champ Mark Kerr. Will The Rock have a chance to be nominated or even win an Oscar for the role? Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary is in theaters NOW!

Send us a textThe conversation shifts to Marvel's surprising box office hit "Thunderbolts," which has topped charts for two consecutive weekends. We break down why this particular entry has connected with audiences when recent Marvel offerings have faltered – examining how its grounded approach, practical location shooting, and thoughtful mental health themes provide a refreshing alternative to CGI-heavy spectacles. Florence Pugh's star power and David Harbour's charismatic performance contribute to a film that feels contained yet consequential within the larger Marvel universe.Summer movie season approaches with promising titles, and we analyze recent trailers for Spike Lee's "High to Low," Celine Song's rom-com "The Materialist," the final "Conjuring" installment, and Zach Cregger's anticipated horror follow-up "Weapons." With Cannes Film Festival underway, we speculate about potential award contenders like Ari Aster's "Eddington" and Julia Ducournau's "Alpha," considering how the festival increasingly predicts Oscar success. Between passionate discussions of cinema, friendship, and even NBA playoff drama, this episode captures the joy of reconnecting as a team across distances while celebrating our enduring love of film.Send us your thoughts using the link in our show description, and follow us on Instagram and Letterboxd to join the conversation between episodes!Support the show
