MOVIE DISCUSSION:
Melvin and Daniel talk about what it's like to be back in the theater (officially), how Black Widow compares to the multiple Marvel Mini-series, and how Black Widow feels a bit like two movies at once that don't always work together.
Topics:
- Daniel, "This was my first movie back in the theaters."
- Discussing the trailers seen before Black Widow
- Introducing Black Widow [14:17]
- Trying to figure out the purpose of this movie apart from it simply being a Black Widow stand-alone flick.
- Melvin, "Yeah, let's talk about that [opening credits] cause that was, like, really strange!"
- Daniel, "Like I said, it feels like there's almost two movies at play."
- Fangirling over Florence Pugh and how she's a brilliant performer
- Contemplating reasons for audience disengagement
- Daniel, "Again, they're trying to do Jason Bourne serious-spy-movie... but then they have secret pheromones that keep you from killing people."
- The missed opportunity that is Taskmaster (but potential future hope for the character)
- Wanting more creativity in the MCU, and comparing Black Widow to the MCU Mini-Series' on Disney Plus.
- Rewriting scenes, because we're a podcast and that's what podcasts do!
- Hoping to see more creativity in the MCU movies
