How does Wonder Woman 1984—the sequel led by Gal Gadot—waste the goodwill established by the first movie?
We discuss the DC film’s bloated runtime, lacklustre villains—played by Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal—its unwillingness to justify its ‘80s setting and the return of Chris Pine, and complete absence of thematic depth.
Later, we wonder how director Patty Jenkins plans to deliver all of Wonder Woman 3, Star Wars’ Rogue Squadron, and Cleopatra, in light of Warner Bros. “fast-tracking” the next Wonder Woman chapter.
We end by talking about the problems with the DC Extended Universe at large.
