  1. Will you all be doing an Oscar episode? Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the show and the winners/losers.

  2. They are making a Big Fat Greek Wedding 2? When the hell did that happen. Ugh. I hate you Hollywood so much some times.

  3. I really enjoyed the preview aspect of this episode. Hope to see it in future episodes as well.

    1. If people like them we will be doing them at the beginning of each month! Glad you enjoyed it man and thanks for the feedback!

  6. Based on what I am reading Batman v Superman is only on track to make 140 million for its opening weekend so it won’t come anywhere close to beating The Avengers. In fact there is a chance Deadpool can end up making more money that it when all is said and done and I would love that oh so much if only to get Zack Snyder away from the character of Superman. He is ruining him so much.

      1. They are making him into a bully. When he says things like “IF I wanted it you’d be dead already” that is not Superman. Superman does not threaten with murder. Superman also isn’t Batman. He isn’t gloomy all the time. He smiles once an while and tries to a positive influence on the world through his actions and personality. Snyder has made him a more powerful Batman. Their relationship is not as interesting if they are the same type of person.

  8. I liked Deadpool a lot, but I think it suffers from the “marvel syndrome”, which is to put a lot of effort into a certain aspect of the movie and sort of coast for the rest. Sort of like how movies like Thor put a lot of effort into building the marvel universe while putting no effort into plot structure, character depth, and other stuff, Deadpool put a ton of effort into the writing and comedy aspect, which led to a few flaws.

    I think the plot was pretty bland. I never really like origin stories unless they’re really original, but this just felt like a less overdramatic version of Wolverine’s origin. I understand the point of the movie was to present Deadpool’s origin story, but they could’ve definitely cut 30 minutes off it. The villain was pretty bland as well, we don’t know anything about who he is, and his entire personality revolves around him being a huge a-hole.

    On the flipside, the writing and Ryan Reynolds’s acting were fantastic. The humor was on point for almost all the movie, high points for me were deadpool trying to fight colossus, and his line about telling beast to stop shitting on his lawn. Deadpool’s interaction with the X-men was by far the best part of the movie, everything felt really organic and they all had some great lines between each other. I think if they focused more on Deadpool’s “being a dick to super heroes” aspect and less on his origin story, it would’ve been a great movie
