Listen "262: Deadpool"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the start of an At The Flicks double bill.
Enough time has passed for us to look back sensibly (well as sensible as we can be) at the franchise films that revitalised their brand in the Summer season that was 2024. This first one and subject of this show is Deadpool & Wolverine. Here we will shock you, so be prepared. It’s like listening to something from one of those alternative dimensions. Jeff actually defends the superhero movie while Phil, with an almost Trumpian rage, wants this movie burned at the stake. Perhaps Phil has been exposed to the radiation that is Marvel films for too long and has now turned into some sort of intellectual Hulk, while Jeff is responding to Graham’s mental torture where he constantly repeats “Marvel is good, Marvel is good”!
Other than taking opposite sides of an argument, here is what else you can expect in this episode:
- Has Marvel over extended with this film?
- Can you watch this without knowledge of other Marvel products?
- Why does Phil hate Matthew Macfadyen?
- Does Graham, who initially liked the film, always change his mind this often?
- Where now for Marvel?
So, take a chill pill, sit back, relax and enjoy the latest from At The Flicks.
The second part of this Summer 2024 review is coming very shortly. Who knows the team might actually agree on that choice.
Until then, see you At The Flicks
