WEBVTT - SPOILER REVIEW! Black Adam

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. It

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>is a spoiler review today. We're talking about Black Adom,

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 1>so continue listening. If you have seen the movie Black Atom,

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>or you're one of those people who don't mind having

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a movie ruined for you, or maybe you had no

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>intentions of ever seeing Black Atom and now you get

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to hear all about it and then maybe decide later

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>if it's worth your time. So Black Adam was one

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of my most anticipated movies of the year. I am

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a huge comic book superhero movie fan. I think the genre,

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>though it's starting to get a little bit just repetitive.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So I was looking to Black Adam to revive d

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>C and help them where they've really needed somebody to

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>come up and step up to the plate to be

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>their new savior, and I thought that was going to

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>be the Rock. So going into this movie, I had

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>very high expectations, and I think that's what greatly influenced

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>my rating of giving it a two point five. It

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>was an entertaining movie, but I was looking for some

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>more substance here, and I really thought I was going

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to get that from the Rock in this movie. I

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>really thought I was going to get that from the

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>character of Black Adam, and I thought this would change

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the trajectory for d C, which is historically just not

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>made the best decisions when it comes to their superhero

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>origin stories. And the more I talk about this movie

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.559
<v Speaker 1>with friends and family and with you guys, I maybe

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't make that completely clear in my first review. Is

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what I held so much against it is the

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>expectations going in. I think this is still an enjoyable

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>superhero movie. I think kids will probably enjoy it more

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>than thirty year old adults to go on and on

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>about superhero movies, and there are some moments where this

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>movie shine, but overall, it just didn't leave me with

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>that excited feeling that I normally get from superhero movies.

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>So let's get into more of the details about Black Adom,

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>which the movie is the origin story of Adam, who

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>later gets called Black Adam at the end of the movie,

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's his introduction into the d C universe, which

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>is always kind of struggled with balancing a darker character

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>like Black Adam with bringing in some of the fun elements.

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And that is one of the main things that I

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>did not enjoy about this movie, where it takes place

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>is Black Adam gets woken up and then Amanda Waller

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>played by Viola Davis sends out the Justice Society to

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>recapture him and put him into his self for eternity.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>But then they realize Black Adam ain't going down so easy,

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and it starts with that battle, and then you have

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this other villain who appears named Sabak, and he is

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>this villain who draws his power from these six Demons

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>of Hell. So there's this struggle of him trying to

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 1>get the crown so he can get all these powers.

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you have in the middle of that the

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>origin story of Black at Him and how he got

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>his powers. Another major thing that made me not enjoy

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>this origin story is DC themselves ruined so many things

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>going into this movie that even I felt we were

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>doing my normal review because there was things mentioned in

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the trailer that were supposed to be turning points and

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>plot twists inside the movie that I was like, Okay,

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna play this from the trailer because they ruined

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>it themselves, so they lost me there a bit. And

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the eleventh movie in the d C EU,

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and in this movie they introduced a whole slate of

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>new characters, and my favorite one out of all them

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>was Doctor Fate played by Pierce Brason and who became

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>my favorite character throughout the entire movie. I wanted to

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>hear more about his origin story, see more of his powers,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and they killed him off. I just thought that was

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>such a bad move to make when you finally have

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>this cool character, one that looks visually amazing, and Pierce

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>bras and then just did a really great job kind

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of carrying a lot of that supporting role in this movie.

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>He was the standout performance, I felt like, and they

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>killed off his character, and in doing that, they actually

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>gave Doctor Fate what I believe to be the more

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>epic moment in this entire movie. Him sacrificing himself and

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>try to defeat him. I thought was the coolest part

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of the entire movie and the coolest thing done by

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody in any fighting situation in this that I felt

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>like that took away from what Black Adam was supposed

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 1>to be. And that's a problem because throughout this entire movie,

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the Rock isn't his normal self. And I'm a fan

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Rock. He is very enthusiastic, He has a

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of charisma to him, and he brings that into

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>his movie roles. So if I would have had just that,

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I would have enjoyed that. But we didn't even get

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the trademark Dwayne Johnson in this movie, and I think

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>he kind of battled with some of the acting involved

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>in this. Black Adam is a more serious character that's

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>supposed to have some debt. He's supposed to have his

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>backstory that makes him the way he is, and that

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really get conveyed from the Rocks performance in this.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the times he is just they're floating,

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>staring off into the distant nothing, and I can't pick

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>up on any of his energy throughout this movie that

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>makes me want to care about his character or care

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>about what he's doing. I just didn't buy it. And

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that was a rare thing for me from the Rock,

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>who is just this larger than life person built like

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a superhero for crying out loud, and he just fumbled

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on the performance in this And I think in order

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>for him to succeed in this role, they should have

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>made Black Adam a darker character. They should have got

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>rid of all the attempts at comedy in this movie.

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Which really felt like them trying to be like Marvel.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>It didn't really work here. When it came to Black

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Adam trying out these catchphrases as he kills his enemies,

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it felt entirely cheesy, and it was really hard to

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>believe that somebody who who had been asleep that long

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and is now living in this modern world. He doesn't

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>really question a whole lot of it. He's just like, Hey,

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>this isn't the home I'm used to, but then just

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>quickly adapts to everything else, quickly adapted to the language,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and somehow has developed a somewhat sense of humor in

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>all of this, and doesn't really ask questions when it

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>comes to the posters in his room with all the

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>other superheroes, and it kind of glosses over the fact.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Even though there are some mentions of Shazam in the

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>comic books, Shazam and Black Adam don't like each other.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Black Adam is the joker type villain to Shazam, and

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of the direction they took in

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>this movie, and the reason it took so long to

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>be made, was because the Rock had some demands. He

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.239
<v Speaker 1>essentially wanted to be a character that is the most

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>powerful person in d C, or at least equally comparable

0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to Superman, and he demanded that, and he the entire

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>reason that Superman is in the post credit scene, and

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>now that Henry cavill is coming back to play Superman allegedly,

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>he's talked about it in interviews, and other people inside

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of Warner Brothers have mentioned it as well. But he

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to come back unless him and Superman could

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>have that screen time and unless his character could be

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a threat to Superman instead of a threat to Shazam

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>like he's supposed to be. And I get it. I

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>don't always believe that the movies have to follow exactly

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>how it is in the comic books, but I just

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>think it didn't really set that up like it should

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.239
<v Speaker 1>have been. And the best part out of this entire

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>movie was that post credit scene, whenever everything is said

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>and done, Black Adam is there talking to Viola Davis,

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and Superman appears and Superman looks like the best on

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>screen version he's ever looked, very classic Superman with the

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>curl in his hair, and the suit looks amazing, And

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that part of the entire movie got me pretty hype.

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>But if the post credit scene is my favorite scene

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.679
<v Speaker 1>out of the entire movie, and my other second favorite

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>scene is from a supporting character. I don't think the

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>movie did its job, And when it came to the ending,

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it was so generic that after Pierce Brast's character dies

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in this and then Black Adam restores his powers, he

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>comes back to fight the bad guy who it's just

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>this c g I bad looking devil, which, out of

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>all of the c g I in this movie, I

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>thought it was actually pretty good. I just don't really

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>like it when you get to that final battle and

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you're just fighting the c g I bad guy who

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of comes out of nowhere and never really feels

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>like a threat. So whenever the Rock defeats him in

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>this movie, you don't really care, And it's like, why

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't you do that a long time ago? If you

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>had the ability to rip somebody in half, why weren't

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>you doing that back or later in the movie. And

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>when it came to just the entire feeling this movie

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>gave me, it feels like it's a movie that should

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>have came out back in two thousand and seven, back

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>originally when the Rocks signed on to do this movie,

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like there is a good movie in there, it's just

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>not this cut. Maybe it got lost in editing. Maybe

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it got lost with the changes, maybe with the demands

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to be made for the rock and what he

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted this character to be. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>The fight scenes were pretty good. There was some good

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>action going on in this movie. The dialogue is really

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>where it lost me. I think, out of all the

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>superhero movies I've seen recently, probably the worst dialogue in

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a very long time. And the supporting cast again just

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there. And I think the best example of me

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>not enjoying any of the supporting cast is I found

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the kid on the skateboard to be very annoying, and

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know disrespect to the kid actor in this movie,

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know what his purpose was in the

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>entire movie. And then and there were a couple of

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>things that made me crazy at the end of the movie.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Is whenever this character who hasn't really done much throughout

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the entire movie somehow now rallies the entire city to

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>fight back against these zombies that come out of nowhere.

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I hate the zombies that come out of nowhere. For

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>no reason, and then this kid gives the weakest speech

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>ever in a movie, and somehow now the city is united.

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>And it reminded me of Halloween Kills whenever the entire

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>city of Haddonfield gets all riled up and wants to

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.559
<v Speaker 1>go fight Michael Myers. Now, that's exactly what this movie

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>did with the people in this city. It just created

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>this weird, out of nowhere dynamic from the crowd mob

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>mentality and then just kind of went away. So when

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to it, this movie I still believe

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>was mediocre at best. And the sad thing about that

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is I don't think that's going to change for d

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>C and out. If they can get away with a

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>movie like this to do still pretty well at the

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>box office, they can keep the rock happy and sign

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>them on to do another movie. And overall, in the

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>long run, if this movie does pretty well for them,

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I think they're like, Okay, this is the level we need.

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>This is all we need to do to appease both

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>sides of the fandoms and the only glimmer of hope

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that I really see now, even though I didn't love

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>this movie, I do feel like d C is building

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>towards something now. I want to see another solo Man

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of Steel movie. I want to see this quote unquote

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>epic battle between Black Adam and Superman and maybe, just

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe they will learn from their mistakes with Batman versus Superman.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I still hope they bring shah Zam into the mix

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on this franchise, because that's really what it should have

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>been the entire time. And I know the Rock has

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>really also celebrated the fan of this movie, which is great,

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>but I hope he does look a little bit at

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>some of the criticism he got surrounding this role and

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 1>maybe takes a different approach when playing the character. Again.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>All I think this character needs is a little bit

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>more depth. He needs to react a little bit more

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>with some facial expressions or just something to give across

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the essence of the character and just make um somebody

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>to root for even though he is an anti hero.

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they should find a way to bring back

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Dr Fate, even though he died. And I think if

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 1>they make another Black Audam movie, stay away from some

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of the old DC tropes. Too much of this exposition

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to character build the flashbacks which make the entire

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>plot feel just kind of disjointed, and just get over

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>some of those other DC tropes of making it look

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like a two thousand's met music video. We can get

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>rid of some of the sound effects from two thousand

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and seven, and as long as they don't put that

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>kid in any other movie, I'll give Black Adam another chance.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>And that'll do it for my spoiler edition of my

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Black Adam review. I'll talk to you again on Monday,

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.239
<v Speaker 1>which you have an interview coming up with David Silverman.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>He is the director of movies like Monsters, Inc. And

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite movies of all time, The Simpsons Movie.

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>He is an animator who has been with the Simpsons

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>from the very early days. I'm talking Tracy Ullman show

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>back in the eighties, and we're going to break down

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the fifteenth anniversary of the Simpsons movie, talk about his

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>time at Pixar, and me being a super mega Simpsons fan.

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be one of my favorite things

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I've ever got to do on this podcast. So excited

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>for you to hear that. And until next time, go

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>out and watch good movies and I'll talk to you later.
