The Suicide Squad: Milton is a Real One

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Y'all know we love a motley crew, so of
course we could not resist the lure of The Suicide Squad. 
What a journey!

We kick off our discussion by sharing our prior exposure to the
Suicide Squad in other DC projects.  We then share what we
loved about the film, as well as the sh*t we didn't like. 
The film tries to make a statement about American imperialism,
but does it go far enough with its message?  We also talk
about how this iteration of the Suicide Squad stacks up against
other versions throughout the DC film and television
universe.

Were you shocked at the fate of Team 1 at the start of the Corto
Maltese mission?  We sure were!  We talk about the "big
reveal" of Team 2 and about the non-linear storytelling approach
of the film.  Kristine also shares her thoughts on James
Gunn's influence on the film and how it stacks up against his
prior work in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

Although the team ultimately joins together to defeat Starro the
Conqueror, was he really the villain of the film?  After
sharing our thoughts on the film's real villain, we explore the
Harley Quinn of it all.  Did our beloved breakfast sandwich
lover build on the character development we saw in Birds of
Prey?

Next, we talk about the film's MVPs.  Everyone needs a
Milton on their team.  We also talk about the performances
that came up short and share our reaction to the post-credit
scene.  Are you yearning for more Peacemaker? 

No podcast episode would be complete if we didn't get a little
thirsty.  Find out who from the cast quenched our respective
thirst.
