1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. It 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: is a spoiler review today. We're talking about Black Adom, 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: so continue listening. If you have seen the movie Black Atom, 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: or you're one of those people who don't mind having 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: a movie ruined for you, or maybe you had no 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: intentions of ever seeing Black Atom and now you get 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: to hear all about it and then maybe decide later 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: if it's worth your time. So Black Adam was one 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: of my most anticipated movies of the year. I am 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: a huge comic book superhero movie fan. I think the genre, 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: though it's starting to get a little bit just repetitive. 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: So I was looking to Black Adam to revive d 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: C and help them where they've really needed somebody to 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: come up and step up to the plate to be 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: their new savior, and I thought that was going to 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: be the Rock. So going into this movie, I had 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: very high expectations, and I think that's what greatly influenced 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: my rating of giving it a two point five. It 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: was an entertaining movie, but I was looking for some 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: more substance here, and I really thought I was going 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: to get that from the Rock in this movie. I 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: really thought I was going to get that from the 23 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: character of Black Adam, and I thought this would change 24 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: the trajectory for d C, which is historically just not 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: made the best decisions when it comes to their superhero 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: origin stories. And the more I talk about this movie 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: with friends and family and with you guys, I maybe 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: didn't make that completely clear in my first review. Is 29 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: that's what I held so much against it is the 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: expectations going in. I think this is still an enjoyable 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: superhero movie. I think kids will probably enjoy it more 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: than thirty year old adults to go on and on 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: about superhero movies, and there are some moments where this 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: movie shine, but overall, it just didn't leave me with 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: that excited feeling that I normally get from superhero movies. 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: So let's get into more of the details about Black Adom, 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: which the movie is the origin story of Adam, who 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: later gets called Black Adam at the end of the movie, 39 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: and it's his introduction into the d C universe, which 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: is always kind of struggled with balancing a darker character 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: like Black Adam with bringing in some of the fun elements. 42 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: And that is one of the main things that I 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: did not enjoy about this movie, where it takes place 44 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: is Black Adam gets woken up and then Amanda Waller 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: played by Viola Davis sends out the Justice Society to 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: recapture him and put him into his self for eternity. 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: But then they realize Black Adam ain't going down so easy, 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: and it starts with that battle, and then you have 49 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: this other villain who appears named Sabak, and he is 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: this villain who draws his power from these six Demons 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: of Hell. So there's this struggle of him trying to 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: get the crown so he can get all these powers. 53 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: And then you have in the middle of that the 54 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: origin story of Black at Him and how he got 55 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: his powers. Another major thing that made me not enjoy 56 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: this origin story is DC themselves ruined so many things 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: going into this movie that even I felt we were 58 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: doing my normal review because there was things mentioned in 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: the trailer that were supposed to be turning points and 60 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: plot twists inside the movie that I was like, Okay, 61 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this from the trailer because they ruined 62 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: it themselves, so they lost me there a bit. And 63 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: this is the eleventh movie in the d C EU, 64 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and in this movie they introduced a whole slate of 65 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: new characters, and my favorite one out of all them 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: was Doctor Fate played by Pierce Brason and who became 67 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: my favorite character throughout the entire movie. I wanted to 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: hear more about his origin story, see more of his powers, 69 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and they killed him off. I just thought that was 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: such a bad move to make when you finally have 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: this cool character, one that looks visually amazing, and Pierce 72 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: bras and then just did a really great job kind 73 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: of carrying a lot of that supporting role in this movie. 74 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: He was the standout performance, I felt like, and they 75 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: killed off his character, and in doing that, they actually 76 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: gave Doctor Fate what I believe to be the more 77 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: epic moment in this entire movie. Him sacrificing himself and 78 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: try to defeat him. I thought was the coolest part 79 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: of the entire movie and the coolest thing done by 80 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: anybody in any fighting situation in this that I felt 81 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: like that took away from what Black Adam was supposed 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: to be. And that's a problem because throughout this entire movie, 83 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: the Rock isn't his normal self. And I'm a fan 84 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: of the Rock. He is very enthusiastic, He has a 85 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 1: lot of charisma to him, and he brings that into 86 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: his movie roles. So if I would have had just that, 87 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: I would have enjoyed that. But we didn't even get 88 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: the trademark Dwayne Johnson in this movie, and I think 89 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: he kind of battled with some of the acting involved 90 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: in this. Black Adam is a more serious character that's 91 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: supposed to have some debt. He's supposed to have his 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: backstory that makes him the way he is, and that 93 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: doesn't really get conveyed from the Rocks performance in this. 94 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: A lot of the times he is just they're floating, 95 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: staring off into the distant nothing, and I can't pick 96 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: up on any of his energy throughout this movie that 97 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: makes me want to care about his character or care 98 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: about what he's doing. I just didn't buy it. And 99 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: that was a rare thing for me from the Rock, 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: who is just this larger than life person built like 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: a superhero for crying out loud, and he just fumbled 102 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: on the performance in this And I think in order 103 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: for him to succeed in this role, they should have 104 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: made Black Adam a darker character. They should have got 105 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: rid of all the attempts at comedy in this movie. 106 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: Which really felt like them trying to be like Marvel. 107 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: It didn't really work here. When it came to Black 108 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: Adam trying out these catchphrases as he kills his enemies, 109 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: it felt entirely cheesy, and it was really hard to 110 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: believe that somebody who who had been asleep that long 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: and is now living in this modern world. He doesn't 112 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: really question a whole lot of it. He's just like, Hey, 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: this isn't the home I'm used to, but then just 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: quickly adapts to everything else, quickly adapted to the language, 115 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: and somehow has developed a somewhat sense of humor in 116 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: all of this, and doesn't really ask questions when it 117 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: comes to the posters in his room with all the 118 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: other superheroes, and it kind of glosses over the fact. 119 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: Even though there are some mentions of Shazam in the 120 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: comic books, Shazam and Black Adam don't like each other. 121 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: Black Adam is the joker type villain to Shazam, and 122 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the direction they took in 123 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: this movie, and the reason it took so long to 124 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: be made, was because the Rock had some demands. He 125 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 1: essentially wanted to be a character that is the most 126 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: powerful person in d C, or at least equally comparable 127 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: to Superman, and he demanded that, and he the entire 128 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: reason that Superman is in the post credit scene, and 129 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: now that Henry cavill is coming back to play Superman allegedly, 130 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: he's talked about it in interviews, and other people inside 131 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: of Warner Brothers have mentioned it as well. But he 132 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: wasn't going to come back unless him and Superman could 133 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: have that screen time and unless his character could be 134 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: a threat to Superman instead of a threat to Shazam 135 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: like he's supposed to be. And I get it. I 136 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: don't always believe that the movies have to follow exactly 137 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: how it is in the comic books, but I just 138 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: think it didn't really set that up like it should 139 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 1: have been. And the best part out of this entire 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: movie was that post credit scene, whenever everything is said 141 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: and done, Black Adam is there talking to Viola Davis, 142 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: and Superman appears and Superman looks like the best on 143 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: screen version he's ever looked, very classic Superman with the 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: curl in his hair, and the suit looks amazing, And 145 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: that part of the entire movie got me pretty hype. 146 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: But if the post credit scene is my favorite scene 147 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: out of the entire movie, and my other second favorite 148 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: scene is from a supporting character. I don't think the 149 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: movie did its job, And when it came to the ending, 150 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: it was so generic that after Pierce Brast's character dies 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: in this and then Black Adam restores his powers, he 152 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: comes back to fight the bad guy who it's just 153 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: this c g I bad looking devil, which, out of 154 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: all of the c g I in this movie, I 155 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: thought it was actually pretty good. I just don't really 156 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: like it when you get to that final battle and 157 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: you're just fighting the c g I bad guy who 158 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: kind of comes out of nowhere and never really feels 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: like a threat. So whenever the Rock defeats him in 160 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: this movie, you don't really care, And it's like, why 161 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: didn't you do that a long time ago? If you 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: had the ability to rip somebody in half, why weren't 163 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: you doing that back or later in the movie. And 164 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: when it came to just the entire feeling this movie 165 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: gave me, it feels like it's a movie that should 166 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: have came out back in two thousand and seven, back 167 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: originally when the Rocks signed on to do this movie, 168 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: like there is a good movie in there, it's just 169 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: not this cut. Maybe it got lost in editing. Maybe 170 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: it got lost with the changes, maybe with the demands 171 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: trying to be made for the rock and what he 172 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: wanted this character to be. Too many cooks in the kitchen. 173 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: The fight scenes were pretty good. There was some good 174 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: action going on in this movie. The dialogue is really 175 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: where it lost me. I think, out of all the 176 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: superhero movies I've seen recently, probably the worst dialogue in 177 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: a very long time. And the supporting cast again just 178 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: wasn't there. And I think the best example of me 179 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: not enjoying any of the supporting cast is I found 180 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: the kid on the skateboard to be very annoying, and 181 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't know disrespect to the kid actor in this movie, 182 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: but I don't know what his purpose was in the 183 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: entire movie. And then and there were a couple of 184 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: things that made me crazy at the end of the movie. 185 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Is whenever this character who hasn't really done much throughout 186 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: the entire movie somehow now rallies the entire city to 187 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: fight back against these zombies that come out of nowhere. 188 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: I hate the zombies that come out of nowhere. For 189 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: no reason, and then this kid gives the weakest speech 190 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: ever in a movie, and somehow now the city is united. 191 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: And it reminded me of Halloween Kills whenever the entire 192 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: city of Haddonfield gets all riled up and wants to 193 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: go fight Michael Myers. Now, that's exactly what this movie 194 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: did with the people in this city. It just created 195 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: this weird, out of nowhere dynamic from the crowd mob 196 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: mentality and then just kind of went away. So when 197 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: it comes down to it, this movie I still believe 198 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: was mediocre at best. And the sad thing about that 199 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: is I don't think that's going to change for d 200 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: C and out. If they can get away with a 201 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: movie like this to do still pretty well at the 202 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: box office, they can keep the rock happy and sign 203 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: them on to do another movie. And overall, in the 204 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: long run, if this movie does pretty well for them, 205 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: I think they're like, Okay, this is the level we need. 206 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: This is all we need to do to appease both 207 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: sides of the fandoms and the only glimmer of hope 208 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: that I really see now, even though I didn't love 209 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: this movie, I do feel like d C is building 210 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: towards something now. I want to see another solo Man 211 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: of Steel movie. I want to see this quote unquote 212 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: epic battle between Black Adam and Superman and maybe, just 213 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: maybe they will learn from their mistakes with Batman versus Superman. 214 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: I still hope they bring shah Zam into the mix 215 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: on this franchise, because that's really what it should have 216 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: been the entire time. And I know the Rock has 217 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: really also celebrated the fan of this movie, which is great, 218 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: but I hope he does look a little bit at 219 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: some of the criticism he got surrounding this role and 220 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: maybe takes a different approach when playing the character. Again. 221 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: All I think this character needs is a little bit 222 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: more depth. He needs to react a little bit more 223 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: with some facial expressions or just something to give across 224 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: the essence of the character and just make um somebody 225 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: to root for even though he is an anti hero. 226 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: I think they should find a way to bring back 227 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: Dr Fate, even though he died. And I think if 228 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: they make another Black Audam movie, stay away from some 229 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: of the old DC tropes. Too much of this exposition 230 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: trying to character build the flashbacks which make the entire 231 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: plot feel just kind of disjointed, and just get over 232 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: some of those other DC tropes of making it look 233 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: like a two thousand's met music video. We can get 234 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: rid of some of the sound effects from two thousand 235 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: and seven, and as long as they don't put that 236 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: kid in any other movie, I'll give Black Adam another chance. 237 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: And that'll do it for my spoiler edition of my 238 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: Black Adam review. I'll talk to you again on Monday, 239 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,239 Speaker 1: which you have an interview coming up with David Silverman. 240 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: He is the director of movies like Monsters, Inc. And 241 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time, The Simpsons Movie. 242 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: He is an animator who has been with the Simpsons 243 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: from the very early days. I'm talking Tracy Ullman show 244 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: back in the eighties, and we're going to break down 245 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: the fifteenth anniversary of the Simpsons movie, talk about his 246 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: time at Pixar, and me being a super mega Simpsons fan. 247 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: This is going to be one of my favorite things 248 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: I've ever got to do on this podcast. So excited 249 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: for you to hear that. And until next time, go 250 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: out and watch good movies and I'll talk to you later.
