S1E39 - Doctor Strange - “I don’t even know how to describe it”

Doctor Strange


In this episode:


The doctor! He’s strange! Guess what we are talking about
this week? It’s kind of a spoilercast, so be aware of that.
However, we do give you fair warning of when we start discussing
them, so you can always listen for a little while and come back
after you’ve seen the movie. Or you can keep listening because
you love us. Either way.

We are coming at the movie from two different perspectives:
Void likes Bennybatch but has no connection to the characters and
very limited knowledge of Doctor Strange, while Beej is the
opposite. He doesn’t like Benny that much, but enjoys Dr. Strange
in the comics.

Our non-spoilery thoughts are pretty simple: We like it. It
doesn’t feel like anything else in the MCU, and we believe that’s
a good thing. It doesn’t feel superhero-y, and to Beej, it feels
like it has more depth than a lot of the MCU. Void doesn’t have
as many thoughts about the movie overall on the first viewing,
and he thinks that’s because it’s so different from other MCU
films. A second viewing will really help us solidify our thoughts
on it.

The visuals in this movie are amazing. It feels a lot like
the Matrix did back in the late ‘90s. We didn’t see it in 3D
(because ew), but it may have been a bit overwhelming at times.

And that’s it for non-spoilery teaser stuff in the notes!
Now, there are lots of other things we discuss involving our
favorite parts, the visuals in far more depth, the overall
structure of the movie and how it worked for us and in terms of
the greater narrative, and how this movie ties in (and will tie
in) with the rest of the MCU).
