Episode Synopsis

💥 The Squad is back on trial! In this episode, Joey & Chris dive headfirst into David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) — the Oscar-winning 🤯 yet widely roasted DC film that gave us sky beams, Hot Topic Joker, and more needle drops than a youth group iPod shuffle.🔥 What we cover: • The chaotic editing & nonstop soundtrack 🎶 • Deadshot, and whether Will Smith is just playing… Will Smith • Jared Leto’s “method acting” Joker 🃏 • Slipknot (remember him?), and Enchantress’s car-lot dance moves • The eternal debate: Is it fun trash or just trash? 🗑️👥 Expect plenty of banter, arguments, and deep-cut comic references as we wrestle with one of the DCEU’s most infamous entries.⚡ Timestamps0:00 - Intro2:10 - Vocabulary Words with Sanctum3:48 - CCM15:52 - Plot Synopsis18:38 - Starring… 19:28 - Good Stuff36:58 - Other Stuff41:44 - Ad: Ayer+ Streaming42:57 - Joker Rating43:28 - Bad Stuff43:57 - Rotten Tomatoes Score45:18 - Why the Joker Sucks48:08 - Clunky Characters51:22 - What The Film?56:13 - Is There A Story? 1:03:41 - Spiritual Stuff1:09:06 - Bat-Rating1:11:52 - Post Credit Scene👉 Drop a comment with your thoughts: Was Suicide Squad unfairly hated, or exactly what it deserved?
