I am ten seconds in to Episode 1 and it appears Sam Wilson (aka Falcon) is getting ready for a funeral. No one puts on a suit and dress shirt in Marvelworld unless there is a funeral. He is also doing the sad gazey face thing. Oh, it’s Captain America’s shield! Aw, the shield has its own bag. Do you think the bag is comic book canon? I bet at least twelve (12) videos on YouTube can provide me guidance on this question, and I guarantee you that, due to my MDD (Marvel Disarrangement Disorder), I will eventually watch all of them. But I digress.

Paul Rudd is a being composed of charisma and genial good humor, and that’s never more apparent then when he shares the screen with two of the most pissy and uninteresting characters in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, and Hope van Dyne, played by Evangeline Lilly. But even Rudd’s considerable charm isn’t enough to distract from the fact that the only people worth paying attention to: Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne, get the least screen time. I’d rather have spent two hours with Randall Park’s put-upon FBI agent.

The Filmcast crew assembles for a discussion of yet ANOTHER Marvel movie, this one featuring nearly every character, Avengers: Infinity War!
In ordinary circumstances, it would be very hard to recommend a movie that only gets good after two full hours, and flirts with badness for much of its runtime. But this is no ordinary movie, and as you’ve already spent - I shit you not - 38 hours with this group of characters, you may as well suck it up and deal with some awkward pacing and jokes that don’t quite land. All of this glorious mess culminates in a stunning sequence in which the hoariest of comic book tropes is turned into a moment of rare cinematic beauty.
Gabriel Ricard talks Oscars, Black Panther and classic noir cinema in the latest edition of Captain Canada's Movie Rodeo!
Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is a sensation - is it the best Marvel film yet? We discuss that, and the worst Oscar picks of all time in the latest episode of Drunk Monkeys Radio!
Ryan Coogler has proven time and time again that he understands the delicate relationship between a black man and their son. An otherworldly connection, sharing both the strengths and demons throughout the bloodline. This aspect of parenthood is explored in Black Panther. Aside from the nuances, amazing plot twists, and sheer entertainment of the film, there are several call backs for the trained eye: a brief Lion King moment, Angela Basset giving us Storm vibes, and jokes that only the Black community would appreciate. Surpasses all expectations. History in the making. Top five Marvel film of all time. Wakanda forever.
