#116 - Movie Review - Black Adam

Discerning Geeks Portal

...And, we're back. Andruw is still busy pinning and body-slamming people (for his high school wrestling team, not just random people on the street). But, this week, we are joined by friend and special guest host, Preston. Together, we review a movie the three of us watched on New Year's Eve -- the DCEU film "Black Adam."

- How many hours does this movie seem to last?

- Being a huge fan of Justice Society of America from the comics, how did Preston feel the movie handled that team?

- Which co-host compared Khandaq to Wakanda and Eternium to Vibranium?

- In how many other ways do the co-hosts compare the DECU to the MCU, in general?

- Which co-host was annoyed by several action scenes feeling like music videos?

- Which co-host(s) had issues with the movie's pacing and/or structure?

- Which co-host felt the movie has several moments of bait-and-switch?

- What did the co-hosts feel about the villains in the movie?

- How/why did this movie have a zombie army, on top of everything else?

- What common superhero/sci-fi trope was actually impressively missing from this movie...until it wasn't?

- Which co-host is a fan of Red Letter Media on YouTube (actually, at least two co-hosts are fans of RLM, but one co-host name-drops them specifically)?

- Making his first appearance on the podcast, which unique grading system does Preston use?

- Which person who sort of watched the movie with us -- but isn't on the podcast -- asked, "Is this movie ever going to end?"

- Were the co-host's scores for the movie more harsh or more lenient than expected?

- What are the co-host's suggestions for a better DC movie universe?

- And, which topic was randomly rolled for an upcoming episode?

Listen now for the answers to these other questions as we rise up in defiance of..."Black Adam."
