1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Great per flick with Benosh your mining them. Good morning, guys, 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: We've got a new Marvel movie to talk about today. 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: And the studio, which is owned by Disney these days, 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: has struggled in recent years, if we're being honest, really 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: ever since Avengers Endgame a few years ago, when you know, 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: they knocked off Robert Downey Junior. 7 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: Big mistake, but Julia. 8 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: A huge, huge, absolutely huge Iron Man was rubbed out. 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Captain America. Chris Evans also gone, So you lost two 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in the Marvel Cinematic universe. 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: And they were alway in terms of Marvel v DC. 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: Marvel was the big one, wasn't it. 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: Marvel Marvel was the big one thing because they always 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: had a sense of fun about them, and a lot 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: of that was down to Robert Downey Jr. As Ironman, 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Like he was such an incredible character that everybody loved. 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: And of course you have Chris Hemsworth as Thor scars 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Ala Johanssen as the Black Widow. They also killed her off, 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: and so you really lost a lot of the favorite characters. 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: And ever since then they've been trying to muddle through 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: with this kind of B grade cast of characters that 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: don't really have that real brand name value. As they 23 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: kind of build towards this next phase putting together a 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: new team of Avengers, and it all really really went 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: off the rails when their their villain, you know, was 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: had some off screen issues with domestic abuse and stuff 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: like that. So they kind of had to rejig their 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: whole plot for five films. And it probably started to 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: turn around with Deadpool and Wolverine. So when they brought 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: the X Men and Deadpool over into the Marvel Cinematic universe, 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: and Deadpool obviously is such a big hit, you know, 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: they thought, Okay, maybe maybe we can get this back 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: on track. But ever since then, there's been a couple 34 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: of movies that just haven't been very successful. Most recently 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: it was the New Captain of America film, which is 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: just not good at all, that had Harrison. 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: Ford as a sort of a Red Hulk. 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: But along comes Thunderbolts, this movie that a lot of 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: people maybe don't know much about. 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: It's kind of like a ragtag. 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Bunch of anti heroes that all come together to save 42 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: the world, I guess, and it stars the great Florence Pugh, 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: who is Scarlett Johansson's character's sister, Elna, who we saw 44 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: her in the Black Widow movie as this sort of 45 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: child assassin who's grown up kind of escaped the evil 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: people that she worked for and now she's kind of 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: a good guy and she is this secret operative of 48 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Julia Louis Dravis's character. 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: The director cast is huge, it's a huge cast. 50 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: It's a huge cast, and so Julia Luis Dreyfuss plays 51 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Director Fontaine of the CIA, and so she runs this 52 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: kind of black ops situation where they like basically going 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: around erasing some of the stuff that the CIA did 54 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: that they're not too proud of that might come back 55 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: and bite Julia Luid on the butt in this kind 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: of senate hearing. So she's got Florence Pugh off kind 57 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: of like blowing up secret laboratories where they're doing stuff. 58 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: White Teller, he's off a White Russell. Sorry, so the 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: son of Kurt Russell and Goldiehorn. Unfortunately for him, he 60 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: got the you know, the worst characteristics of both of them, 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: two of the most beautiful people in the world. But 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: still he's a great actor, and so White Russell he's 63 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: also he plays kind of like a poor Man's Captain America, 64 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: who is again on the mission to clean up some 65 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: of these messes. And then when a few of these 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of black operatives all get tasked with cleaning up 67 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: the same lab, they realize that they've been sent to 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: kill each other by Julia Louis Dreyfus. She's double cross them, 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: and so then they go, Okay, what are the options here. 70 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Do we actually fight each other to the death, or 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe this unlikely bunch of misfits could join up and 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: form a team. And if you watch Black Widow, you 73 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: would remember that Florence's Pew's dad was David Harbor from 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: Stranger Things, who plays this Russian super soldier called the 75 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: Red Guardian basically like Santa with superpowers. Also is hilarious, 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: he's actually amazing, And so they agreed to kind of 77 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: team up to fight against the CIA and this new 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: villain that emerges along the way, and they call themselves 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: the Thunderbolts because that's the name of Florence Pugh's pee 80 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: weee soccer team. They never won a game, but they 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: were really plucky and so and they have a big 82 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: argument over who sponsored the team. They trying to remember 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: back to the day, Was it Shane's Tires or was 84 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: it Dimitri's Discount Electronics? And so it's the sort of 85 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: film that has, I guess, plenty of action. It's got 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: a decent amount of humor to it as well, some 87 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: genuinely funny scenes because Florence and David Harbot they're great 88 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: actors and they're really good at that's and of course we. 89 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: Know Julie Louis Drefus is so good yea. 90 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: But also the thing that surprised me quite a bit 91 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: of heart to it as well, because some of these 92 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: movies get too carried away with their you know, saving 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the universe, multiverse kind of rubbish that's hard to keep 94 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: track of. This really focuses on the world's inside people, 95 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: and there's a big kind of mental health thing, which 96 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: you might think, is there a place for mental health 97 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: in a Marvel blockbuster? This film kind of does it 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: pretty well. Okay, surprisingly worldas standing at Sebastian and I 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: love him. 100 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: She had a big gear last year, huge year. 101 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing Donald Trump. Doesn't get much bigger than that. 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: And there's one particular sequence in this film with Sebastian 103 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Stan you know those hero moments, whether the music is swelling, 104 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: and someone comes along to to save the day. In 105 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: this one scene, who is it? Sebastian stand on a 106 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: motorbike with his wrap around sunglasses, man's it is? That 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: scene is very good. So there's a few scenes like 108 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: that where you just go, do you know what that 109 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: just kicked? 110 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: By Harrison Ford A little. 111 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: Cameo and the post and the great and the post 112 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: post credit sequence as well, that fit hints at some 113 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: pretty exciting stuff coming forward. 114 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: So so I. 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: Probably after seeing this film feel more positive about the 116 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: Marvel Cinematic universe than I have in a long time. 117 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: Don't be happy with that beautiful deep voice. 118 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: Well, the big question is how many thunderbottomed lightnings, very 119 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: very frightenings are you giving it? 120 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: How we give this one three and a half?
