The conversation shifts to Marvel's surprising box office hit "Thunderbolts," which has topped charts for two consecutive weekends. We break down why this particular entry has connected with audiences when recent Marvel offerings have faltered – examining how its grounded approach, practical location shooting, and thoughtful mental health themes provide a refreshing alternative to CGI-heavy spectacles. Florence Pugh's star power and David Harbour's charismatic performance contribute to a film that feels contained yet consequential within the larger Marvel universe.
Summer movie season approaches with promising titles, and we analyze recent trailers for Spike Lee's "High to Low," Celine Song's rom-com "The Materialist," the final "Conjuring" installment, and Zach Cregger's anticipated horror follow-up "Weapons." With Cannes Film Festival underway, we speculate about potential award contenders like Ari Aster's "Eddington" and Julia Ducournau's "Alpha," considering how the festival increasingly predicts Oscar success. Between passionate discussions of cinema, friendship, and even NBA playoff drama, this episode captures the joy of reconnecting as a team across distances while celebrating our enduring love of film.
