The Zack Snyder DC Trilogy: A “JUSTICE LEAGUE” Review (Part 3 of 3)

Posted by ErikSlader on

With the recent (long-awaited) release of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” (2021) now on HBO Max and 4K Blu Ray, we now have the fully realized vision that first started in 2013’s “Man of Steel”, and continued with 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”! Considering this is essentially the third chapter of a trilogy, it only feels right to revisit the first two acts of this epic superhero saga before diving into this new (and very different) version of 2017’s “Justice League”…

Why “INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE” is *still* one of the Best Comic Book Movies of all Time!

Posted by ErikSlader on

With the recent release of “Spider-man: No Way Home” (see our review on the Comic Zombie podcast), it really got me thinking about another Spider-man movie that also just so happens to deal with multiversal shenanigans: “Into the Spider-verse”! So I recently revisited this groundbreaking animated movie and not only did it hold up extremely well, I’d argue that it’s easily one of the best comic book movies ever made!

2018’s “Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse”, written by Phil Lord (of ‘Lego Movie’ and ’21 Jump Street’ fame), directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman – is about the origin of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as the newest Spider-man in a multiverse teaming with spider-themed heroes!

“THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS” Theories and Predictions

Posted by ErikSlader on

Reblogged from ProbablyWork.com

With the upcoming release of the first new Matrix movie in nearly 20 years – “The Matrix: Resurrections” (in theaters and on HBO Max, December 22nd, 2021), we recently decided to do a deep dive into the Matrix series on the latest “season” of Podcasters Assemble, and it really got me thinking about what might be in store for the future of the franchise…

Warning: there will be spoilers for “The Matrix” (1999), “The Animatrix”, “The Matrix: Reloaded”, “The Matrix: Revolutions”, and potentially “The Matrix: Resurrections” (2021) if I’m at all right about my crazy fan theories!

A “Brief” Recap of the MCU Timeline (Part Two: The Infinity Saga)

Posted by ErikSlader on

Click here for Part One of our MCU breakdown!

Phase Two picks up after the events of ‘The Avengers’ and re-focus back on their individual adventures before they reform in ‘Age of Ultron’. We also get introduced to some new characters as the cosmic side of things starts to take center stage. The timeline also gets a little nebulous here as these events take place roughly around the same time in different corners of the universe.

We also decided to include the Netflix Marvel shows on our list since they are tangentially related and according to rumors may still end up impacting upcoming MCU films and shows. Before we jump in though, we need to give a massive *spoiler warning* for anyone new to the MCU because most of these movies have some pretty big twists, so proceed with caution…

“DUNE” (2021) Movie Review

Posted by ErikSlader on

Reblogged from Geek to Geek Media!

2021’s “DUNE“ (directed by Denis Villeneuve) is in no uncertain terms a cinematic masterpiece. It succeeds where the 1984 David Lynch film falters, and it manages to capture the essence of Frank Herbert’s Nebula award-winning sci-fi epic, a book that until now was considered ‘unadaptable’. This movie pushes the genre forward for film in much the same way the original novel did nearly 60 years ago!

A “Brief” Recap of the MCU Timeline (Part One: Avengers Assemble!)

Posted by ErikSlader on

Reblogged from ProbablyWork.com

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going strong for over a decade, and has already become the biggest, most-expansive franchise in movie history! First starting in 2008, with Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man”, starring Robert Downey Jr., whose story eventually culminated with 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” – the 22nd movie in the series. All of which was orchestrated behind the scenes by the one and only Kevin Feige!

The MCU continues with ‘the Multiverse Saga’ (including several new shows now streaming on Disney+). Most of these titles are intrinsically tied to the overarching narrative of the MCU as a whole, so where does everything fit in? If you’re not already a hardcore fan (like us), it can probably feel like A LOT to catch up on, so if you want to dive in and follow along in (mostly?) chronological order, the following is a *quick* guide to the MCU Timeline (so far), from Captain America: The First Avenger to Avengers: Secret Wars… probably!
