announced for it. So I can't believe every, you know, the last year has been in slow motion. So
like when did the trailers come out? When did the teasers come out? I don't know,
but we finally got
there in the theaters on hbo max a whole bunch of different ways to like view it and stuff like that
so i'm happy we get to finally do this recap many years in the making yeah did you enjoy the movie i
mean we won't get into spoiler we'll we're gonna get into spoilers but just a non-spoilery review
like did you like the movie so it's interesting i went into this cautiously
stoked about it i said i don't know if that's really a thing it should be like if you're stoked
you should be like jumping out of your skin for it but if you're cautious you should be kind of
like yeah but i thought it could be like you know i'm going in with guardians level expectations for
this heading into it but i also have been burnt by the you know because the reviews
were coming out the rotten tomatoes i always go back to last jedi where it's like just because
there's a whole bunch of red on the rotten tomato screen doesn't mean it's all going to be good
right and i went into it cautiously stoked i came out of it i liked it did not love it didn't hate
it but there were times where i was going between love and hate throughout the entire movie.
Oh, wow.
So, like, I don't even know if hate's the word, but, like, disappointed.
And I was like, I do think this movie isn't geared towards people like me.
Large, I was talking to Large about it on Podbrothers.
He did a very quick, spoiler-free, check it out on my mom's basement review.
And he said, I think he said it was the best comic book movie since endgame i was like large that's a big one that's you're you're talking about the web slinger there you're
just you know glossing over and the web slinger had quite a movie right with a good villain and
everything but i'll be interested to see the difference between us i think as usual i think
you'll always be a little more uh positive about, but I do think there were, there were things I really loved about this.
And there were things that I just was kind of like mad about. Yeah. I loved it. I tweeted out
that it was like, so James Gunn, but also unlike anything James Gunn has ever done at the same
time, it felt fresh. It didn't feel like a guardians reboot revamp where he's just taking
a gaggle of like
characters that are weird and zany and putting them together and putting great music to it
but it had all of those elements you know it had the great music it had the weird characters it had
the polka dot mans and the king sharks but i really felt like this was the direction like
this movie had the direction that i want the dCEU to go with going forward. Not necessarily for Batman or Superman. Can't have them cracking dick jokes and fart jokes and stuff like that. But for the weird characters, for the zany characters, I feel like you could make a Green Lantern movie instead of just needlessly dark you know the zach
snyder we're gonna show rain and we're gonna show lightning and you're gonna barely be able to see
i mean that was one of the big issues i had with the first suicide squad which i don't know if you
even saw the david a or suicide squad didn't even see it no a lot of it was dark and it was just
like really hard to tell what was going on almost in that like game of thrones way where you're like the villains are
these like uh alien dark like black uh gooey things and they're killing them at night it's
just like i don't need that this movie was so bright i mean aside from the stuff in the beginning
wherever they got first got sent to on that beach like the whole movie was in panama where they shot
it uh supposed to be somewhere else but it was like a
colorful movie and it worked and like Warner Brothers didn't blame people for not having
uh light enough movie screens right because I remember that was HBO's line when uh when everyone
was complaining about the Game of Thrones battle of Winterfell or whatever it is two things I saw
it in the theater and I imagine you saw it in the theater as well and that was a Jeff D. Lowe
have to see it in IMAX Jeff I don't have this is another this is a this is a legitimate gripe of mine is when
movie theaters say they have an imax theater and it's an imax screen and they shot in ox no no no
no no imax theater that means you have a fucking screen that is like seven stories high i need to
fucking feel like i am in the movie because it's such a giant theater. And, you know, there's like a thousand rows of seats
and stuff like that.
So I couldn't see it in like an IMAX.
There was nothing really all that close to me
that I could get to.
But I still got like, I think a good experience.
I think it is something for people that are just kind of,
I mean, the people, the real Suicide Squad
are people that are listening to this right now
who haven't seen it
and are just looking for like a little, you know, primer.
I would see it in the movie because it is like a graphically and even like audio wise the audio
files will appreciate it too because i had some good audio in my theater it does kind of tickle
the senses in that way but i also had i counted it this time because i said this before black widow
i said man there was a lot of trailers i had like commercials i think there was a car commercial in
there with the actors speaking over a thing and i'm like oh god and i think I had the same trailers because it's the same genre, right? So
obviously you're going to have kind of the same trailers. 25 minutes of trailers. It was exactly
25 minutes, which is absurd. And I got to the movies 10 minutes late. It was like, I think it
was a 6.45 movie. And I got there at 6.55 and it was already 10 minutes in. And then we had another
sit through another 50 minutes trailers. Not one person was in the theater when I got there at 6.55 and it was already 10 minutes in. And then we had another sit through
another 15 minutes trailers.
Not one person was in the theater
when I got there 10 minutes in.
We ended up getting two people in.
So my brother and I and two other people,
four people total, which is crazy.
Even with like, I think they had, I don't know,
throughout the day, probably about 15 to 20 showings
on different formats and stuff like that.
But still, that was a yikes, even though it's on HBO Max.
That's crazy. My theater was sold out. It's it's packed see that's what i don't get and i i you know i had a few people tell me that and i was like i don't understand why it was this way and the
theater even the movie theater parking lot wasn't too crowded so i i don't understand what was going
on why compared to you know usually like when i see that like when i have an experience like you
had i start thinking like oh yikes the box office for this not going to be great and they said the box
office for suicide squad was kind of disappointing like even in the pandemic you know the delta
variants running wild they were like it's not what we expected it to do which worried me because like
even if you're you have the attitude that you have where you were like kind of so so on some
of the aspects of the movie i feel like you would agree that this is kind of where we want them to
go in the future at least more in this direction so the fact that it didn't do overwhelmingly great
at the box office worries me that dc will be like maybe that was a misstep because i don't think it
is a misstep no no dc if you're listening any you know we have Bob Iger's a listener. We have Kevin Feige is a longtime listener.
Whoever the fuck is in charge of DC,
get them to listen because you guys are in the right spot.
You said it good too.
Like you said it best about like building up these other side characters,
making it bright. It doesn't have to all be, you know,
Batman and Superman versus the world and have these like grand scale things.
You could have some fun with certain characters.
That's how you build a universe you know what i mean as much as you know robert downey jr being iron man
was so important to marvel but just as important was kind of just growing it out and the infinity
infinity war worked because you had the guardians coming in you had dr strange playing a huge role
and you had you know obviously the avengers but then you had black panther and the wakanda scene
all that stuff like i'm getting goosebumps just talking about the fucking thing i'm such a goddamn nerd
but all that stuff worked and it's because you had so many different things and that's why people
were cheering during the portal scene and stuff like that they had all these you know connections
with characters so it's like they listen and to be honest you guys fuck up superman and batman so
much you can't rely on them anymore you destroyed destroyed that brand. But yeah, you said it perfect.
And I will say, I went into the theater
and just because no one was there,
I was like, uh-oh, this is a red flag.
Because I saw the same thing where I think it said
they were on pace to be like the number one box office
for the weekend,
but it was still falling short of expectations.
But you know, like we're living in weird times, man.
Especially when you can just watch it on your couch
on HBO Max.
It is the summer.
People have lives, not me me but other people have lives and you could just like you can and and
if it was doing well enough around the country I wasn't like oh my god I actually kind of preferred
it because when there's when I'm literally like the only person in the theater that's you know
I'm not bothering anyone I just started taking notes on my phone so I could make sure the podcast
came out well so I just took notes on my phone as if I was in my living room.
It was a win-win for everyone involved, except for the movie theater.
They probably took a bath.
Yeah.
I was going to say, speaking of it being on HBO Max, if you haven't seen it yet,
reminder, it's on HBO Max.
So you get a seven-day free trial or whatever. I would say it's worth getting a trial just to watch this movie.
There's some behind-the-scenes extras on there that I checked out.
It was pretty cool.
They have a little 10-minute documentary on James Gunn, the way he would play music for the actors on set, which I know he did
with Guardians as well, kind of to get them in the mood, get them in the vibe of the movie.
And I would honestly just recommend going back and checking out those extras because I had a
good time watching them. And I'm excited to go back and watch this on HBO Max, like on O3C and
then get into it. Before we get
into it, let's talk about one of our sponsors, Cuts Clothing. Cuts Clothing is some of my favorite
stuff in the world. I say it every week. You saw me wearing it at the UFC press conference.
These versatile shirts, you could wear at the gym, at the bar, to a nice restaurant, to work,
on the couch, to the movie theater. If you're going to see the Suicide Squad, I mean, the Suicide
Squad went through a bunch of different environments in this movie right they went from jail to a hot
environment i mean sometimes they were in the the jotenheim or whatever that place was looked maybe
chilly in there they went swimming yeah they went swimming they need cuts they need cuts clothing
this is our guy steve barelli don't forget it's a barelli that founded this is he related to frankie
i don't know get them them on 23andMe.
We'll see.
They might have a little percentage relation.
And in 2016, Steve Borelli set out to create clothes for every occasion the modern man faces, and he was successful in doing this.
They've got the Cuts hoodies.
Now that we're getting towards fall, I've got one of the Cuts hoodies.
So comfortable.
Cool-looking hoodie as well.
They've got the wrinkle-free Pika fabric.
They've got the polo design.
They've got that stuff that you could wear to the office. That's like kind of fancy work, the golf course, right?

over the last year.
One thing that will come from it, that'll be good.
We are not going back to the old ways
of uncomfortable clothes.
Everyone's going to be comfortable.
But if you get something that you can wear from your house to the gym to the office or the home or wherever you are doing your work, that is going to be the new way to go.
So shout out to Cuts Clothing.
Shout out Cuts Clothing.
All right, Clem, let's get into Suicide Squad.
Spoilers.
If you haven't seen it at this point, big spoilers.
And I mean, we're gonna hit
the ground running because that's how this movie opens we open up with a little johnny cash great
intro song and savant michael roker's character just throwing a ball at this uh you throw him
like a bouncy ball in his little cell he kills a bird right away which as a bird guy yourself you
must have been upset about that i I mean, a couple of birds.
I was not happy jumping ahead.
The bird murder that happens later in this, the fucking like flames,
offensive is the word I use to describe it. It's all capital letters.
I am in the movie.
I'm in the movie theater in my notes and I did a little double tap to get
all caps lock offensive, this weeding it off. And I was like,
what the fuck was that? Jimmy, Jimmy gun just coming out fucking blazing on it off. And I was like, what the fuck was that?
Jimmy, Jimmy gun, just coming out, fucking blazing on my ass.
And like you said, you start with Johnny Cash.
And I looked at my brother and I go, oh, here we go.
Cause again, one thing we were really excited about was the soundtrack of it all.
And we're going to throw fucking Johnny right out to the fucking,
right into our eardrums off the bat.
We're like, all right, this is a James Gunn production here.
He just knows how to put music to movies. And this had a very different soundtrack than the guardians movies it wasn't all throwback
there were a lot of modern tunes in it but every song he put in i just said like fuck this guy
knows how to set the tone of a movie with a song he understands it and that was another issue that
the first suicide squad movie had when everything came out with uh batman versus superman getting bad reviews the studio panicked
and they rehired a new studio to completely re-edit suicide squad and david ayers edit became
edited by the company that did the trailer they literally hired a trailer company to edit the
movie and clem they put a new song in every scene it was just like bohemian rhapsody here's seven
nation army here's and it was all like fun songs that everyone knows but it almost became a karaoke movie and that's not like
what you want especially where david ayers shot such a dark grounded realistic like
zack snyder first movie so the mesh just did not work at all it was just very strange so
getting that corrected here was very cool that's a problem when you do have like if you just play nothing but the hits nothing but the hits nothing but the motherfucking hits
you do something like that in a movie it does it just feels like like you said a karaoke movie
where you need to kind of have someone that's a good song but not everyone's heard of half the
songs in the guardians movies which i love at least guardians too like i've never heard half
of those songs until the guardians movies and it's just like but it's absolutely perfect in terms of its fit and it just kind of keeps you going and like you know
time warner warner brothers that everyone i call i'm sure their catalog is extensive and it sounds
like they just lumped everything in they did the old fucking meme where they're slapping that on
throw a fucking like song everyone knows in there but it doesn't play well unless you're doing like
sing or something like that. A kid's movie.
And trust me, those movies, the movies that are for kids where they have, it's usually covers or something.
It's not like the originals, but just movies where you can take the song and enjoy that.
And the kids obviously love it because it's bright and on the screen.
Those movies are worth their weight in gold.
Sing 2 coming out.
We got a Sing 2 coming out and parents are happy.
Parents are in the streets for this one, Rob. Wow, you you're gonna be camping out for sync too like it's end game
so we we meet the suicide squad task force x right away amanda waller just basically assumes
you know the concept of the suicide squad right away she's like all right you know the deal we're
putting fucking bombs in their heads if they don't't comply, we're blowing them up. Suicide Squad. They're all expendable. And they look ridiculous. We have Boomerang. He was in the first movie. We have Michael Roker on this team. We have Javelin. We have Savant. And they have this cool introduction. Pete Davidson's character, Weasel. They have that slow motion walk. They get sent in. And we realize pretty quickly they are not the real task force x or at
least they are but they're really there to cause a diversion for another team the blood sport
peacemaker king shark rat catcher team we've got the polka dot man on that that squad as well
now this was shocking because pete davidson i think is the first one or weasel's the first
one to go down which was such a funny scene when he just starts flailing in the water.
And everyone realizes, like, did anyone see if Weasel could fucking swim?
Rick Flag is like, oh, damn, Rick Flag, another character from the first Suicide Squad.
And they didn't. Weasel drowns, or at least we think until, you know, spoilers, mid credit scene.
And Pete Davidson is the first one to go out and he allegedly sold the suicide squad out and
he's like all right guys we cut the deal i'm here i brought the suicide squad here test for sex
he gets his fucking face blown off i mean right off the bat sets the tone for the movie the entire
team starts to go down nathan fillion's character with the arms that like went and started smacking
everybody on the head hysterical dead ja, dead, Javelin dead.
He gives his Javelin to Harley Quinn and he's like, use this for,
and he goes out Harley's pissed that she never got to learn, you know,
the final word of what he wanted to say.
And the diversion works because the other suicide squad,
very successful in getting in. They see the explosion.
They're like Amanda Waller. What's going on with that? She's like, don't worry
about it. That's the diversion. I guess
you could kind of say this for both teams and
every member of the Suicide Squad, but very
much Masters of the Universe vibe, where they
are like the misfits, weird-ass,
the disconnected kid or whatever the fuck
his name is. You know, he's just like
hit-punching people, and they're just like, what's going on?
Very fucking funny.
And I like how they they
set the tone right away boom this is going to be a fucking gore fest my brother asked me as we were
sitting into our seats he goes is this rated r and i was like yeah i'm pretty sure i remember the red
band trailer i'm like when it's a red band trailer it gets a little crazy and by the end of the movie
i honestly said this might have been nc-17 because it was fucking gory.
James Gunn, I feel like he was like, you know what?
I don't have to worry about like the kiddie breaks being on for like Marvel where there's no real gore and it can't really be too explicit.
They still want to get the kids in and stuff like that.
He just let it fucking fly.
And James Gunn, like I have, you you know we all have james gunn guardian
james gunn there's a there's a filmmaker james gunn that probably likes to do like this whatever
the fuck you can and he's kind of had to be home you know he's been working for the mouse for a
long time they don't like when half the people in the movie have been dismembered their heads
sliced in half and all that kind of stuff he also probably wrote this in a dark place he probably
wrote this thinking he was no longer going to be doing marvel movies he had his little babies he lost his guardians family they were snatched from him
from a tweet from a decade earlier so i feel like jimmy might have wrote this in a really dark place
i just want to give him a hug right now i just want to tell him everything's going to be okay
i mean he knows that now guardians 3 is going to come out it's going to smash he has the holiday
special coming out yeah but damn james fuck that's all i can say after that opening scene
some gory shit i mean we
even saw dick and balls in the suicide squad at one point there was a dick and balls i missed the
dick and balls everyone keeps telling me with dick and balls i was like i that completely my dick my
dick radar is completely off right now i have to recalibrate it i guess it was when uh peacemaker
and bloodsport were going through the village killing who you know we find out to be the heroes
and one of them just like i think like pulled down
a curtain and we just saw dick and balls yeah that's just like oh whoa okay this is some superhero
movie but it feels like warner brothers dc whatever the studio that has always been like the ones that
are getting in the filmmaker's way where the snyder cut is like he's like that's not my movie
the air cut he's like that's not my movie feels Feels like they left James Gunn the fuck alone. And we're like, do whatever you want. We're not going to interfere. And he
was like, all right, cool. I'm going to get wild. And we learned that the task force X mission is
to go to Jotunheim, this former Nazi era laboratory where they hold a secret experiment known as
project starfish and they have to destroy it. So they have to go as an anti-American regime. We could get overthrown. They want to use Project Starfish against us.
We talked about Starro from the trailer. We were excited about Starro, and I feel like he lived up
to all expectations and more. By the end of this movie, which we'll get to the end, it didn't just
feel like an expendable CGI fight fight like the first suicide squad very much
had like i don't even remember who the villain at the end of the suicide squad fight was it was like
cara de laveen and someone else i don't know who she was fighting but when they showed the starfish
like getting off the guy's face and what it does to your face holy shit that was that was some nc17
shit yeah and star like you said big and
when those things are just raining down from the sky you just feel like you're completely fucked
so yeah adam is like definitely vagina armpit he's like little starfish coming out all right
so i wasn't the only one i didn't have to be bonked or anything i was like that's a vagina
that's a vagina that is shooting out fucking little baby stars weasel drowning the
team to reveal of how they kind of just did it that was very james gunny i feel like i you know
right off the bat i was laughing in a serious spot and all that kind of stuff and then shout
out my birds getting revenge as they're eating uh what's his name after his head blows up yeah
it's no savant or they are though they're after he oh yeah. I think you're right. He got his head exploded.
And then it says, like, Warner Brothers Presents.
And I was like, we're fucking making.
I love all of those titles.
Those titles throughout the movie, that was straight comic book splash page.
Like, really, when Kinshark rips the guy apart, there was some, like, slow motion gore parts where you're like, okay, that's James Gunn being, like, a filmmaker, an artist.
Where those frames are like paintings.
Even the Harley Quinn one where it's like the mission is your time.
And then it changes to like save Harley.
But they change it from like fire to like smoke.
I thought that was a nice little touch on it as well.
So they definitely nailed some of like the, that was a very nice touch.
A little chef's kiss on all that kind of stuff.
Even Harley's escape sequence with the flowers and the cartoons behind her i thought that was awesome i absolutely love that scene and then she gets the
javelin too you know yeah and large said he goes is this the way that harley her like world it
looks to her as she's just killing people she just sees flowers and happiness so i thought that was a
pretty good quote by the big man and the way she uses the javelin at one point she like puts it
into a guy's foot and
like does like a jump over him with it oh my god i mean some brutal scenes we'll get to all of that
rick flag's team like i said ambush savant captain boomerang blackguard tdk javelin and mongol all
dead however the distraction allowed for blood sports team peacemaker king shark polka dot man
and rat catcher 2 to enter the country undetected the flag is captured we think by villains at this point we find out later are
rebel soldiers and the squad convinces the rebellion leader to assist them after peacemaker
and blood sport go through their entire camp killing each and every person and in some of
the funniest ways to blood sport uses the Mandalorian fire at
points to his advantage,
much better than Din Djarin uses it.
Actually.
I think one of the funniest moments in the movie is John Cena walking past
the guy and just slicing them up a hundred times as he walks past John Cena
was so fucking good.
And the chemistry between him and Idris Elba was incredible.
It almost reminded me of that quill Thor,
like battling for supremacy thing
i hope bando watched and learned how to use a fucking blowtorch because that is how you use
a goddamn blowtorch this is gonna come off people are you're probably mad at me for this take but
i'm gonna stand by it i just i don't know what it was maybe it's because my in my world and i was
introduced to him as a stringer bell not as proper age but with his
fancy boy accent and john cena is the face's face right in terms of wrestling i just i felt like
listen i love cursing one of my favorite things in the world to do is one of my biggest weaknesses
is that i curse too much even on podcasts when i'm listening i'm like i'll like hit fast forward
and every time i fast forward it's myself cursing i understand sometimes it's a little too much i couldn't i just didn't believe
their cursing uh eat yourself because you know for fuck's sake i was like it just wasn't hitting
right and i'm a i'm a connoisseur of curse comedy and i did not like the cursing done by them i like
cursing there was good cursing done in this movie that's just me john cena is one of my favorite curses in the movie if not my favorite when he's like nobody likes
to show off and he's like unless what we're showing off is dope as fuck i got a huge laugh
out of my whole theater everyone was loving it well i'll say i think half my theater was loving
it too but it was only like two of the four people but still i mean like the percentages
is there that's why it's it's like i think it's a me thing more than anyone else.
But I'm just saying like,
that was a legitimate like gripe I had right off the bat was I just, I don't know,
like the fake jerk offs and stuff like that.
It felt like it was like watching like Santa Claus
and the Easter Bunny doing it.
I just couldn't buy that.
It was like someone that has a little bit more
of an edge to them.
You know what I mean?
So that was just a personal thing for me.
I think maybe i i've been
uh like worn down by i've seen some of the earlier john cena comedies that he's done like with tina
faye and amy poehler the cock blockers comedy i've seen him curse enough where i'm like i'm used to
it now john he's an actor he's trying to get this hollywood career going exactly and the other thing
was um the i liked how how they, they made,
they may, I'm going to just keep calling him stringer.
Cause my brain doesn't work right.
Call him by their real names anymore.
When they kind of did the thing with the kids where he's like,
we have your daughter.
She's going to get sent through the American penal system,
which like American penal system about dragging this one,
which I think John,
I think James Gunn also wanted to get some things off his chest.
You know, about certain James Gunn made a pretty political suicide squad
movie. Yeah.
He did. And he didn't like bash you over that with it but if you were just paying attention
you got it loud and clear um and i've said this in the past the worst thing about having kids
other than the lack of sleep and the lack of money and the lack of basically time is that they could
be used against you in situations like this and the only positive to it all is that if like someone
has a gun on you you go listen i have kids and there's a chance they may take the gun back.
This is at least what the movies have taught me. So as a parent,
I felt for him because the guy probably would be very happy.
Those Crocs look extremely comfortable. I just became a Croc guy.
I'm very excited about becoming a Croc guy.
Being in prison may not be so bad if you get a free pair of Crocs.
Everyone was rocking those, those bright orange Crocs. They're pretty sweet.
I noticed that as well. You know what? I was like, Oh,
they give them orange Crocs.
That's like they actually get the orange color for them and everything.
I guess Crocs maybe sends those to prisons or something. I don't know.
It makes sense. They're comfortable.
They're pretty cheap and you can't like hang yourself.
You don't need shoelaces. Right.
So it does like it's kind of make a ton of sense. I was, I was,
that was my introduction.
So if any of any listeners out there that work in prisons,
if you have Crocs out there,
it's like I know the nurse,
I know like medical field,
they're big in the medical field.
So they're big in the penal system too.
Very, very interesting stuff.
Also, guy almost killed Superman
with a kryptonite bullet.
Tip of the cap right there.
I gotta respect that.
Badass, he put Superman in the ICU.
Yeah, his whole like weapon system
that were coming off his chest.
I loved Bloodsport as a character. I liked his helmet as well with just like the blank face, the icu yeah his whole uh like weapon system that were coming off his chest i loved blood sport as
a character i like this helmet as well with just like the blank face but almost like the teeth by
the bottom i thought that was cool we didn't know who he was going to be for a long time it was
debated i don't know how much or i don't know much about blood sport as a character in the comics
but he seemed very similar to dead shot from the last movie who will smith played has a story with
his daughter whereas you know his daughter was taken away from him.
It's not necessarily the American juvenile system or whatever, but it's sort of similar.
And I thought he was just more well executed in this one with becoming a leader and all that.
Maybe it's just Idris being a great actor. But, yeah, I was into it.
And I'm going to say this, too, now that I think about it.
Stringer only cursed when Stringer had a curse because he was pissed because he was like a
businessman stringer bell this guy is not stringer bell but he it's always he's always going to be
stringer in my mind just like karketty's going to be karketty instead of littlefinger as he
crushed it in game of thrones so i have to say like the cursing thing it's probably more that
i was just like he was just throwing around oh for fuck's sake like five times in 10 minutes
i thought it was a little much and that's coming from someone who adores cursing more than
anything in the world did you have this court when they're talking about corto maltese which is the
name of the island where they went yep did you get i got jurassic park island vibes isla nublar
and i was like oh we're going to jurassic park i thought it was a jurassic park island for like
five minutes but my brain is like not able to think like that i could totally and even some of the like dark
scenes kind of look like the forest in jurassic park like when it was like dark and rainy in
jurassic park but we learn on this journey more about polka dot man who i loved we he starts to
get like this weird like face rash where polka dots are glowing out of his skin it looks really
gross it looks like something you would see on the like a garbage pail kid or something and he has to go expel his
polka dots twice a day because his mother did experiments on all her kids and she tried to
make them into superheroes and you know something went wrong with his and some of the others died
and it's a dark story and he was just emo and kind of wanted to die the whole time and he
didn't want to be superior but his polka dots would burn people kind of gruesomely and i loved
this when he would look at the suicide squad he would see his mom and all of them by the time we
saw his mom as fucking starro oh my god i was like losing i was a knee slapper i was i was losing my
mind laughing you go into these these movies with these kind of like
forgotten about comic book characters and now you kind of go with like the the radar i'm gonna fall
in love with these guys and i didn't know how it was gonna happen with them especially you didn't
know when you were gonna lose characters too right especially after the opening scene which i think
everyone appreciated i think most people thought would be coming they're gonna let it be known
right away people are gonna die not everyone's coming back from the suicide squad that's kind of how the suicide squad works um and polka dot man i think he kind of
stole the show for a little bit yeah i mean him and king shark we all expected that we would love
king shark and i feel like he lived up to expectations every time he almost died in this
movie i was like no no like when uh he grabs onto star i think star like throws him through a
building at one point i was, you gotta be kidding me.
I thought his little friends were gonna kill him
in the water when I saw that blood.
I mean, the fact that he survived makes me very happy.
I wanna see more of King Shark in the future.
I hope that that,
that was probably a James Gunn thing more than anything.
And he's like, trust me guys,
you're gonna wanna keep this one.
I brought Groot and I made Groot the fucking like star
of the first Guardians and then baby Groot the star of the second. You're gonna wanna keep this this i brought root and i made group the fucking like star of the first guardians
and then baby group the star of the second you're gonna want to keep this guy around you're not
gonna want to you know fucking put him up on the wall every time soon you don't want that shark
going around and i tell you like out of every superhero i've ever seen the big screen i
identified most with king shark very basic always always hungry and just like just trying to have
fun looks at butterflies flying in the air just trying to make like i would have been running at the aquarium watching
he's like oh i can't come in i wear this guy's mustang like so funny i went out to the bathroom
and i missed that scene and i re-watched i kind of just so i but the thing is i originally was
going to go on my phone turn on hbo max on my phone. And as I'm walking, which is a sweet little life hack, if you could do it.
But I was like scrubbing.
It wasn't the service.
Wasn't it?
Because I can't seem to work.
I came home, watched it to fill in the gaps before the podcast.
And that fucking mustache line slay me.
That was very much Guardians.
Yeah.
So I that absolutely killed him.
He was kind of the Groot of this movie.
You said it, but I could see in The Suicide Squad 2,
or I guess it would be 3, if that ever happens,
him having a little baby and then for merchandising,
the baby King Shark walking around in those little shorts.
Oh, my God.
Are they going to call it Baby Shark?
That's probably, that's definitely copyrighted.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Prince Shark.
Prince Shark.
And it's going to be a little young shark.
And the fact that it's Sylvester Stallone instead of Vin Diesel, which is just like the original Vin Diesel.
It's absolutely perfect.
The squad's next objective is to capture the Thinker. He was the metahuman scientist in charge of Project Starfish.
He worked with Star of the Conqueror for 30 years. And he has, you know, just like in the comics, he has all of these little like syringes going
into his skull he has a great character design he just looks like a comic book character through
and through and this movie felt i feel like a broken record saying this sometimes because i
know i've said it about civil war i've said about certain movies here and there it felt so much like
a comic book in in its weirdness in its chapters in the titles on screen and the
goriness in the funny dialogue it just felt straight pulled from a page and so did this
scene where they all go to the bar together they're still kind of reluctant to be friendly
with one another because they are each their own villain they each have their own problems and
they wind up just drinking and having a good time they're like i will have one
and then they're like are you really gonna be that guy they wind up having a great time the
thinker comes into the bar and all while this is going on harley quinn has been captured by uh the
corte maltese government and this prince or the king or someone in charge wants to marry her he's
like you encapsulate the perfect anti-american
vibe like my people think it would be great for me to marry you i wanted to bring you in for this
date she falls in love with him it's a very harley quinn animated series-esque sequence i felt like
where it's like you get to see inside of her brain you get to see what she's thinking like
cartoons like large said and then she just fucking stabs him. She kills him in cold blood.
And it's kind of like a shocking played funny moment.
And she's tortured by the government.
She eventually escapes.
And I wanted to note this, her escape where she puts the key in her toe.
And then she like goes upside down, puts the key in the lock, twists it.
James Gunn said she actually did that.
Margot.
Yeah.
I, when she did that, I, thought, I go, wow, the stunt woman killed that.
I actually thought it was the stunt woman.
And Margot does it in one take.
So I guess I have to recalibrate my Margot Robbie abilities, which, trust me,
I was already in love with Margot Robbie before I knew she could do that.
Someone like that in one room.
I am over.
And Bob Fox, Ranger fan.
You know, noted Ranger fan. Shout out to our guys 610, right? You always get the Margot Robbie. Always get the Margot Robbie reaction. someone like that in one room i am over and bob fox ranger fan you know noted
ranger shout out our guys 610 right you always get the margot always get the margot robbie reaction
she is just oh she's just the bees knees i love her so much i will say i i i haven't really watched
any harley quinn outside of like the trailer for the first service that's what a million times like a horny asshole but uh the the the i don't
it's hard for me and this might be because she played uh that she had a similar accent in wolf
of wall street it's just weird her like her accent is so thick and i know that's not margot
robbie i have a hard time being like all right that's you know harley quinn there so i will say
to me only like it's like the lightest criticism possible but it is something i came away thinking during the movie but absolutely awesome scene um she kills the guy because she's
like killing kids that's a step too far she is one red flag she said yes we dealt with killing
kid either as a joke or as something like that as like a plot device and all this kind of stuff
like eight different times during this movie i don't know if i feel like this is because james gunn was like listen guys that pedophile
tweet is just a joke i am very much anti any kind of harm for kids and i want kids to be fine but
like you know weasel killed 28 children right that was like the thing i said you know when
they were introducing him obviously the harley quinn thing and i like i'm missing like five
killing kid jokes that's how i remember
they were in this movie and i was just getting bashed over the head with it and i'm like i don't
know if james gunn was doing it as a fuck you to everybody or as a like uh you know hey guys
nothing's worse than being known as the pedophile joke that's just something you know even at barstool
we're like we're not gonna joke about that one today we're not gonna you know write any jokes
just be like fuck these guys fry them bury them under the jail all that kind of stuff stuff so that was that was very weird that was very weird for me also the the scene where
they're going out in the club or whatever and they're like just one drink and i know bob's not
a big drinker or whatever but i will say like it's crazy how many times the craziest nights of your
life are the one drink night it's the night that happened to me i'm not a big drinker but like it
happened to me with uh glennie balsam's uh went out to the gym saloon with that crew and i just couldn't escape him that's the fucking that's
the real life suicide squad glennie balls and za i mean listen glennie balls not a party guy we know
that not a party guy definitely not a party guy za is i mean pound for pound the craziest fuck
here at bar school that guy like that guy when i was in vegas with him he was up you know till the
till the sun was rising it's just the thing was up you know till the till the sun was
rising it's just the thing is zai you know you can only do so much we lost him all saturday he
didn't leave his hotel room he'll always get the uh the morning tweet where he's like never again
oh so yeah the one night the one drink nights are always bad news bears and i loved how
cena made sure the rat got his sebastian was yeah
i like how like that's you start feeling there's a team dynamic being built is when even the rats
get in his dream and i i have to say i actually kind of fell in love with the rat i didn't think
i was gonna love it i became a sebastian fan and two guys that have dealt with new york city rats
our whole life we know how disgusting they are we know how like vile these creatures are by the end of this movie i was kind of feeling like idris like i wanted to like
all right i'm gonna pet this little rat like it's not so bad um they are actually joined by harley
once they get the thinker they go to capture her they think this is kind of what we saw in the
first trailer they think that she's still kidnapped and she's so her heart is warmed by the fact that they were coming to get her.
She was like, you're coming to get me. I can go back in and you can do the plan.
Like that was so Harley Quinn. So funny to me. And Rick Flag and Idris were just like, fucking A.
All right, let's all right, let's go. Here we go. And they go into Jotunheim with the thinker most of the squad rigs the facility with explosives and uh rick flag and
rat catcher to enter the facility underground with the thinker so they discover now that project
starfish is actually starro the conqueror which i thought was funny we got kang the conqueror and
star of the conqueror in one year a great year for the conquerors and he's this giant alien who
controls his victims through smaller versions of
himself spores like we said that attach to these faces we get to see the gory look of this guy's
face who had had a star attached to him and they say like can we free these people they say nope
dead corpses underneath they're kind of fucking brutal the thinker reveals that sorrow was brought
to earth by the american government we get to see this old
footage as well which was some of my favorite stuff in the whole movie it kind of reminded me
of like horror movie vibes alien vibes the old uh astronaut footage who have been secretly funding
the experiments on the corto maltese for decades so it's actually americans behind this and the
peacemaker has been sent there under secret orders to cover up america's
involvement he actually turns on the team in this moment in a way where he doesn't want to turn on
them but he's like this is why i'm actually here and we get a huge battle between the suicide squad
i mean the jotenheim starts falling apart the explosives start going off early rick flag and
the peacemaker are put against each other
this is where the movie really kicks into high gear and it was going 70 miles an hour down the
highway anyway so there was like i said throughout the movie there's times i'm like oh i love this
fucking movie it's it's very much what i was hoping for and then there was other points
where it felt like it was like a fucking sharknado on steroids right and i say that in a nice way i'm
not trying to be mean about it but it's like it was like over the top crazy and it's not as bad as sharknado by any means but
there was some like candy moments whatever i think on purpose the whole reveal when after with the
fight and then it says eight minutes earlier that's when the movie when it was like oh we're
back we're humming that was exactly what i loved um i got a shout out large you didn't say this
too i didn't even notice this jotenheim do you know what what jotenheim what word that what that means for us no planet of the frost giants they mentioned it they mentioned
jotenheim and he said it's the land of the frost giants or whatever you'll look you can be from
there whatever so the fact and i'm sure we'll get corrected by the people who actually know the
answer yeah but i was like oh shit i had no idea that there's a double meaning with that there was
a lot of from large huh right a lot of marvel dc crossover too we got
taika taika just fucking straight up the rat rat catcher which is very cool yeah so and getting
those double dips obviously james gunn double dips as well so it was very cool to see that
i have to admit i was and i i understand if you watch the previews you're spoiling the movie for
yourself but i loved the harley quinn joke in the previews when you find out that they're
going to rescue her and she escapes that just happened though i feel like that was like a
spoiler i thought that was a pretty heavy spoiler because i was like oh they're they're not going to
do that and it's like whatever it doesn't really matter i just thought that was weird i also have
to admit the um the staros lair when they went into the basement mostly when they get to the
end where they just have in the kind of the corridor, the dead end where it's like the journalists
and the different people,
the political prisoners and the old stars,
it felt almost like a haunted house.
And I'm not talking like this crazy wild haunted house.
I'm talking like kind of like a carnival haunted house.
Like the one you and me went to.
Yes, exactly.
They keep doing the same motions.
It felt a little campy in that regard.
It didn't feel like over the top special, like a comic book movie in terms of the level but that was that's kind of like a
nitpick but it did that was interesting because that that was one of my favorite parts you look
like how yeah i mean that's fine maybe i'll maybe i'll go back and on hbo max and like watch for
that next time but like being in that little layer where the thinker was revealing all of that i was
like oh fuck this is like cool looking i like seeing the the thinker was revealing all of that, I was like, oh, fuck, this is like cool looking.
I like seeing the stars on the people's faces.
So I'm going to go back and watch it through maybe that lens and maybe my opinion will change a bit.
But for the first watch, that was like one of the things that I thought was coolest.
And that's the thing is, as I was saying, I was like, I guarantee people like that.
For me, I didn't like it.
And then if I watch it again, on the tv here i'll i'll
flip so it's one of those things i'm not gonna get into like a fucking fight over but it is one
of those things that i was like you want to fucking tussle over it clem god man the last
year has made me so tired of fighting online it's like i just have no energy left in me anymore
if you ask your opinion stick to it man it's like the big lebowski well let's see your opinion man
it's like your opinion man i will say that too the um the journalist line felt like another one of james good things
you know journalists getting tortured for trying to report the truth and stuff like that so yeah
james james is definitely i mean the whole u.s government funding the nazis i think that was
you know there's things that happened like that back in the day i think it was all in relation
to that we get a big dramatic moment where peacemaker actually fucking kills rick flag and now i know you didn't see the first suicide
squad but he was a pretty prominent character in that so i really expected him to survive i don't
know why joel kinnaman kudos to you for making me fucking care about that character in this movie
because by the time he died i was surprised and i was like oh damn fucking he was
trying to do the right thing peacemaker gets him and then peacemaker almost kills rat catcher too
and that's when we get the eight minutes earlier and we get to see the second part of the team
so almost tarantino-esque you know the out of sorts like here's what actually happened and
we'll get to that and by the time you start getting to it and seeing what happened you see
king shark playing with the dumb friends who turn against him.
Very funny scene. You get to see all the stuff with Martin. I think he was. Was that his name?
Nelson. Oh, come on. I don't even know his name with us for three hours.
I forgot his name, that whole back and forth.
And when the levels start falling with Idris on Bloodsport on each one,, you start thinking back to eight minutes earlier with Cena on top of Ratcatcher.
And you're like, oh, shit, this is about to happen.
He falls right onto the level where he's supposed to.
He locks eyes with Peacemaker and they each shoot each other.
And now we get a call back to earlier when he said, my bullets shoot, you know, even straighter than yours.
He's like, how is that possible?
He says, my bullets shoot, you know, even straighter than yours. And he's like, how is that possible? He says, smaller bullets. And we see in slow motion, Idris's bullet going
through Cena's, catches him right in the jugular. Awesome scene, awesome slow motion moment,
something straight out of a comic book when you see the bullet kind of like unravel and explode
as the one goes through it, right? And just like one of the cooler dramatic moments and one where
we know the Pe peacemaker show is
coming so i thought in this moment oh i guess the peacemaker shows a prequel how we get up to this
moment and i was kind of disappointed i was like we like why are you doing a prequel if we know
what his fate is obviously that is not going to be the case i'm curious do you think originally
peacemaker was dead here and then they were like hey do you want to do a show and he was like
yeah let's do a post-credit scene and then we'll bring it back i never thought about that
that would you know what i think you kind of sold me on that just blindly but i think i i you can
coast time you can you can definitely sell me on that so i'm gonna say i'll say yeah i kind of hope
we call it now and then in like a week or two they're doing you know some press or something
and then it comes out that that's how the whole uh peacemaker thing started so all right i could get down with that i like
that and i'm definitely interested in a peacemaker show after seeing what the character was like i
was worried about peacemaker i'll be honest after seeing like a homelander type character like kind
of over and over again after the boys i was like i hope he's not like homelander i hope he's not
like john walker where he's just
like but he's not he is his own guy you know i care about peace even if that means killing everyone
in the way of it i like peacemaker killing women and children we got back to the killing another
joke that i'm telling you we just cross them off as we go i love the fight in the reflection of
the helmet yeah yeah that was really cool with them and even though i didn't see the first uh
suicide squad i did the same reaction i was like i thought that dude was gonna make it he just
seemed like a good guy and seemed like even though this movie's not all about good people
or good guys it did feel like he was going to be one of the guys that at the very least sacrificed
himself at the last minute for the team and then like i said milton dying he dies the like the
conversation about his name that had me cracking
up so that like those are the the high points for me and then again that eight minutes earlier
everything that led to the uh peacemaker showdown that was some of the high points for me from the
beginning i loved it the aquarium scene and then the fisher you know coming and attacking him and
then you're in the water and all that kind of stuff the javelin you know still being a part of
it all fucking thumbs up for me i loved it i forget who tweeted it but they said that scene
in the aquarium it might have been someone from barstool they said it was just more beautiful
than it had any right to be it was really just that one like 30 second i don't know maybe minute
stretch in the movie where they had that nice classical music under it king shark was running
around with the fish and it was just like oh we could take a
second to breathe and then starro fucking escapes and everything goes wrong and all that he kills
the thinker he rips his own you know master's body apart brutally kills most of the military
he begins taking control of the population with the fucking armpit vagina things and waller tells
him all right you've got the intel your mission's complete get the fuck out of there you know congratulations guys you survived and now blood sports oh fuck but fucking starro and
he becomes a leader she told him i'll turn you into a leader and he turns back with his teammates
and leads them in battling starro waller attempts to execute them for this which i was kind of
surprised by i guess she just wanted the intel like back she wanted it in her hands it's like all right they're going back to battle it right before she's about
to prevented by her subordinates they hit her with a pole everyone's like holy what are we supposed
to do that and then they just get on the comps they're like all right well we're leading the
suicide squad in the guy that was in the room in the communications room with the glasses the one
that was like holy we get a kaiju on set he was king shark he was the one wearing that big rig and kind of playing
like uh how james gunn's brother plays rocket raccoon on set and he was weasel on set and stuff
like that i thought that was kind of cool i hope he got paid double yeah yeah we hopefully got
something if not fire his agent right yeah wallace she like awesome performer like just such a mean
motherfucker that's like the worst like everyone's had that substitute teacher that like scared the
shit out of him gave him nightmares that's the kind of vibes i got over her that was another
critique i had that i thought could make the movie a little better if i think one or two more people
in that room were strong personalities in terms of being really funny just good timing and stuff
like that i thought that room could have used a little bit more of something.
I don't know what it was, but once she went down, I was like, all right,
I know these guys are on our side and they have like good hearts.
So I'm happy they're there. But I was like,
I just wish there was kind of like you said, James Gunn's brother,
like that kind of, that kind of guy. Cause he, he always,
I always loved seeing him in Guardian.
So it's like just kind of going one for one with another James Gunnn comic book movie uh that was that was one one thing but man she was a
motherfucker she was so mean she was so she's like that in the first one too she was one of
the highlights of the first where the first really was lifted up by a couple really good performances
like viola davis margot robbie will smith was really good as deadshot the first one they were
a couple and even uh joel kinnaman is rick flag i feel like james gunn looked at that and was like
i'll take all of the best elements kind of ignore that it happened but kind of not ignore it like
it's the same thing like i don't even know if you could call this a sequel because they do kind of
ignore the first one but at the same time they don't and it's they went from suicide squad to
a suicide squad it wasn't like they're doing a sequel like number two in this big battle unfortunately our man polka dot man is killed he
says i'm a superhero and boom star just kills him sad to see that one i would say that was the saddest
death um our guy nathan hurst actually wrote in and said are you guys bummed about a certain death
in the movie i know for me it was polka dot Dot Man and Brick Flag seeing him become a solid character, but then taken away from us was a huge bummer.
Nathan, I'm with you. It was those two for me as well as Polka Dot Man more than anyone.
Because I was I was kind of like, this is my fucking guy.
I feel like I could like cosplay as Polka Dot Man at a Comic-Con and look like Polka Dot Man.
Oh, that could be that's gonna be a big hit i bet
for maybe halloween or something like that we're only two months away here that could be a big and
if you do it right you know you could probably find some shit that glows yeah you know it was
a bummer and but also seeing him go down and he's a superhero so proud however however it's kind of
like makes polka dot mom polka dot man's mom like a hero in herself because she made that
superhero right well it's like the loki thing right it's like she existed to inspire the best
version of polka dot man and when he looked at star and saw the the giant version of his mom
so james gunn it was like almost like uh when ego turns into pac-man at the end of guardians
and you're like this is ridiculous but at this point we're in and we're going for it and it's treated kind of seriously within the movie you know they're not
like polka dot man snap out of it like polka dot man is kind of like he's not the joke himself
they're like yeah he's part of our team he fucking shoots these scorching hot polka dots at people
that's kind of what he does somebody said too um we never find out how he gets the polka dots out
of him
i was like man if james got i mean that would have been that would have got insured the nc17
rating because i know he's like he pukes right we see him puking him up at one we see him like
walk away into the forest and i was like is he pissing out the polka dots like i didn't know
what he was doing like i kind of like that it's left into a mystery because you're like how the
fuck does he get those polka dots out of him it's just a rash he says in the beginning yeah it's not mary when chris
elliot starts getting like little pimples here and there and then it's the love pimples or whatever
he calls it unbelievable something about mary by the way a little tangent got just a fucking
masterpiece i know the the mom passed away the other day she was in oh really yeah the rest in peace
yeah rest in peace but something about mary was one of those movies that was like it had some
really raunchy fucking scenes that like stick with you the hair gel scene and a bunch of other things
and it just fucking delivered i'm gonna watch some of them everyone the homework tonight watch
something about mary this weekend that's what i want everyone to do do it for uh you know the
actress who just passed away and just for all time like i feel like some of those comedies from like the
late 90s get kind of forgotten because as time goes on and then we had that kind of next golden
era with like the hangover old school uh wedding crashers and stuff like that that fucking movie
man oh my god i gotta check it out still a cringe i've seen it i know i've seen it because i remember
my grandmother,
rest in peace,
showing it to me and a couple of my cousins when we were way too young,
way, way, way too young and it being a thing. But because I was so young,
I genuinely like, I remember nothing about it. So that's gonna,
I'm going to put that down as my homework and I'm going to go watch it and
it'll be like a new movie for me.
Bob, when you watch it,
I want you to tweet out the things that you think you were too young to see because i was about three things right on the top of my
head that i could think of that i mean i will never watch that movie with my children i will
i was honestly probably seven or eight years old when i when i was shown that by my grandmother and
she also i convinced her man grandma fox was the best i convinced her that my mom would always let
me have coffee she was making herself a coffee and i was like eight. I convinced her that my mom would always let me have coffee. She was making herself a coffee. And I was like eight. And I was like, yeah, my mom lets me have
coffee. And in reality, she had maybe let me have one sip of her coffee at a family party once.
Like, and my grandma was like, okay, I'll make you a cup. And she did. And I was bouncing off
the walls. And that was like my mom, every time she dropped me off after that was like, remember
no coffee, no, no coffee for the little eight year old.
But yeah, never, never listen to kids. That's the one thing out there.
That's how Mama, Grandma Fox as much as anybody else.
If they say your parents let you do it, do not believe a fucking word.
Because Sienna tells people we let her like fucking, you know, white fireworks.
It would be pretty awesome because she has little hands.
It would make it easier to do sometimes but we don't do that um eventually harley pierces a hole in starro's eye
with a javelin a crazy like visual artsy look of this where she's inside the eye and we get the
rats going inside the eye and as someone that has always heard that myth about
new york where it's like you're always one square foot away from a rat if you're in new york that's
how many there are the visual of the 10 000 rats biting star off the inside it was disgusting
jumping over idris when he's like covering up i hated it i mean mcmahon tweeted out this did
pretty definitively solve that whole animal debate.
If you've got 10,000 rats, you're winning.
I had no idea what the tweet was about.
I'd seen the McMahon.
McMahon's not one to, you know, eat his words all that much.
And I saw him eat his words, and I'm like, wow, what caused that?
And I wasn't even thinking about the Suicide Squad coming out then.
And then I saw the movie, and I go, oh, yeah, yep.
So, I mean, anyone who wants to listen to one of the all-time yeah all
time great podcasts you go back to mixtape it was with our boy yp back in the day obviously tyler as
well and just uh i listened to that on the train ride home trying to like you know i was like kind
of like half awake i was so tired and i just stayed up the whole time because i was laughing
at the nonsense of it all but i mean i never heard that new york city fun fact isn't even the word for unfun fact
scary fact i don't think it's true i think it's like an urban myth but like that's been like a
thing that's you grow up around here people say it yeah and just seeing them gnaw it away i also
when harley quinn was like i know what i have to do with the javelin like 10 minutes before she did
it and i liked kind of the misdirect because i was i said my brother that's going in the fucking eye and then it goes in the eye but it's all water so it doesn't
really work out the way it did i appreciated that little misdirect as well um again didn't
appreciate watching rats gnaw the fuck out of something it makes it reminds me of um in game
of thrones the tickler when he they light the right rat's ass and it like chews through the
the chest of their like enemies oh my god man that's some
fucked up shit and i want to note shout out to james gunn for casting taika watiti in this very
very tiny role because it was perfect for what it was when you see taika watiti at the end you just
want to like that guy like we all love taika so it makes that moment a little more heartwarming
even though we didn't get to see a ton of rat catcher and rat catcher 2's backstory we saw it a little bit in the beginning this little moment right
before she unleashes them and kind of like makes her dad proud with the technology and whatever
was like oh man like he gave every character their own little thing which i loved and uh with the
military distracted she takes control of the government pledges democratic elections uh the this is the uh leader of the um
rebel camp they use their drive as leverage and bloodsport tells waller listen release me and my
teammates or else we're going to put this out onto the entire world everyone will know the u.s
involvement and that is the suicide squad we've got mid and post credit scenes in the mid credit
scene we see that weasel actually survived He coughs up some water on the beach.
He starts running around.
Very funny.
And Peacemaker also alive.
As I sort of referenced before, we see the two people from that control room, the blonde
girl, who I believe is James Gunn's in real life girlfriend.
And the guy that was kind of funny, he was the King Shark on set.
And they look over Peacemaker and they're like, I can't believe he survived.
And they say, yeah, what do you need him for?
They're like, oh, nothing, just to save the fucking world.
And Peacemaker, HBO Max, that will come out, I don't know, later this year, early next year.
Looking forward to that.
I think they're done filming it already.
Seeing where this story goes, seeing what other obscure DC villains James Gunn is going to bring into the fold.
I just like the idea of James Gunn is going to bring into the fold i just like the idea of
james gunn's dcu coming in into the play and uh i saw a report that said he's already like signed
on to do more stuff for dc if i mean this would be my dream scenario if he wraps up guardians 3
the holiday special with marvel and he's like all right all right, that's, you know, my trilogy. I want to wrap a nice bow on that and put that in the past, make him the Kevin Feige of the DCU, put
him at the helm of it. He knows comic books. He understands source material so well. Look at what
he did with guardians. Look at what he did with this. He can take the most obscure characters
and make them work on the big screen. I feel like after this, give James Gunn the keys.
I would not be against it
that's for damn sure just seeing this entire how it all happened and living through it right where
he was very happily the marvel guy and absolutely crushed it on all levels and then seeing him
basically become like basically starting his own you know joining the rival family if it was like
right and just wcw and wwf yeah it's it's truly crazy and
then if d if dc does kind of rise up and turn them into like it becomes like the the the movie
theater wars instead of the monday night wars and it makes everyone get better that would be awesome
not that i don't think marvel's resting on their laurels by any means um but i'd be down for that
i'd also i'd either i want to see james A, that would be best case scenario. He kind of becomes like the foggy, if he can handle it, which, cause he may not want to do like, just be so comic driven. But if he does, or give him one of the big boys, give him Superman, give him Superman and let's fucking make Superman work because Batman, the Batman's already in production. That's already had a bunch of different things. You got to superman back on the track you have to fucking do it um i actually this was a note i made i think now that mar uh dc they had i
wouldn't say this was like a slam dunk like this wasn't like a iron man redefining the entire year
i think it was very good though very good i think they laid some good groundwork they need to hit
on the bat and the batman's already been shot right are they just i think they laid some good groundwork. They need to hit on the Batman. And the Batman's already been shot, right?
Are they just in-
I think they're maybe doing reshoots,
but they're mostly done with the Batman.
I saw a trailer for the original trailer
for it before this movie.
And that just made me so excited for that
with the Something in the Way, Nirvana,
the Riddler stuff, that has to hit.
I mean, I already own so much merch for it
because I'm banking on it hitting.
I'm like buying the penny stocks,
hoping that when this comes out, people going to be all about battinson because
i already am exactly battinson i forgot about battinson it's a good name they have a good name
right off the bat so they need they need the batman hit and they need i'm sure there's probably
at least one more dc movie like in production already they need those two to hit or you'd like
to have like three or four wins here. You need to like take the series.
If it was a baseball,
you know,
analogy,
you can't be like,
all right,
suicide squad was good.
Batman sucked this,
you know,
next movie Aquaman two sucked.
And then it's just like,
I,
then I,
as like the casual fan that will be more than happy to put my money
towards DC,
you're going to lose me again.
I'm going to be like,
well,
you guys have to prove it to me again.
And then by the time you get James gun or someone else that I can like believe in, it's going to be like five. I'm going to be like, well, you guys have to prove it to me again. And then by the time you get James Gunn or someone else that I can like believe in,
it's going to be like five years down the road. And it's like, what the fuck was the point of
this whole thing? So I hope they do it. I'm not a hundred percent sold just because I've seen DC,
but if you tell me James Gunn has a big hand in it, I'll believe you.
All right. Let's talk about one of our next sponsors before we get into our questions. And this is actually the perfect transition, because we were talking about upcoming DC projects they got to win the series as you said Clem, we've got a couple TV shows coming up we've got Peacemaker we know JJ Abrams is involved in some kind of Green Lantern Dark Justice League type thing for HBO Max, it seems like maybe they're going the HBO Max route. We've got Gotham,
the series that's going to be your Gotham PD, whatever the series that's going to be connected
to the Batman. And we're going to see the police side of things on that side. What better for TV
shows than magic spoon? I have a little magic spoon by your side. And while you're watching
this stuff, you can be eating healthy and eating some delicious stuff all at the same time. Zero
grams of sugar,
13 to 14 grams of protein, only four net grams of carbs in each serving and only 140 calories a serving. This stuff is good too. It doesn't taste like shitty, healthy cereal. It tastes
like normal cereal. Your kids will probably like it. If you want to get your kids eating healthier,
it's keto friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, low carb, GMO free. You can build your
own box. You get a variety pack
they've got cocoa flavors fruity frosted peanut butter blueberry cinnamon I know people love the
frosted so frosted cocoa cinnamon all that stuff is good stuff Clem you're a magic spoon guy
yourself aren't you big time magic spoon guy listen to this Bob Fox we have our in our pantry
we had I don't know like your
typical series like six or so cereals of all different brands and stuff like that i go with
the magic spoon i'm gonna be going back on the magic spoon because we are currently like i said
we're renovating the house we've been living eating takeout every single night feel gross
football season which is scary to say football season when is when the diet begins it's like
an oxymoron but once we do it we're going with the magic spoon so I can at least taste my food and enjoy it as I eat it.
But in that cereal, in that pantry with six cereals, AJ would always ask for the frosted magic spoon.
And that's a kid with kid taste buds, and he's going for the magic spoon.
He's not going for the sugar bombs, which thank God, because you give that kid a gram of sugar.
He's running around like Bob Fox.
Like me on coffee.
Yeah. At grandma's house.
So I need to be like, can I have more?
I'm like, sure, buddy.
I'm just like, you know, put a funnel in his mouth
and just dump it down.
Be like, eat all the magic spoon you want, pal.
So like I said, get our little Saturday morning cartoons,
get to eat our magic spoon, enjoy it.
There you go.
Did I give the promo code for magic spoon?
You didn't, Bob.
Let's do it now.
Robbie at magicspoon.com slash Robbie. Remember, spell that R-O-B-B-I-E, not R-O-B-B-Y, R-O-B-B-I-E, and you'll save $5 off your next order.
Thank you to Magic Spoon for sponsoring this episode.
People put in R-O-B-B-Y, they should have to pay $5 extra for that.
I agree.
That's how you do the V-I-e robbie with a y is the lazy way i wonder if magic spoon could do that charge five extra dollars
bob fox didn't get the barstool by being lazy and spelling his name he grinded he made it through
the fucking rigors of working for rigs riggers rigs is basically that was like the fucking
intern training program with rigs from what i can understand i never had to deal with that obviously but i know we lost some good men that's basically
the suicide squad it was your boss for a while there it sounded like yeah yeah i was like the
harley quinn like i made it to the end but rick flag and all my comrades they're they're gone now
yeah um our first question comes from someone else that actually made it through the rigs camp and is still in the rigs camp, Jake Bass.
He said, with Peacemaker coming out on HBO Max, what other DC shows would you like to see outside of a Batman or Superman show?
He said, I think a Green Lantern or Cyborg show could be really sick.
We talked a little bit about Deadshot earlier, who Will Smith played in the first Suicide Squad.
He's always been one of my favorite DC villains, one of my favorite DC characters like that. I don't know if it's too
soon to go back to him. I mean, they redid Suicide Squad. You don't have to go to Will Smith. You
could cast someone else as well. I think a Deadshot show would be pretty cool. The Flash
they did on the Flash and Arrow and Supergirl they did on cw you know not for everybody i kind of liked them
there can't be cw shows but they're fun king shark actually made his first on-screen appearance in
the flash he was very different he was a fucking muscular jacked shark who wasn't as funny so what
did he say green arrow green lantern he said green lantern or cyborg would be maybe sick
i kind of want a green lantern one i feel like that like you
and the way that shows are being made now it almost is better to kind of like take your time
with someone like that and you show up the local i agree yeah and if it fails in the movies it's
going to be like well we this up again like i feel like green lantern is too important to
dcu to just keep them up right so that would be one for me um trying to think of like
a bill like like the justice league dark would be cool even like just seeing a different type
of thing like that seeing an elseworlds story if they did like and this is i mean probably they
couldn't do this on hb max because it requires all of the big guns but one day they should make
a movie using the injustice video game storyline
where superman is the villain against the rest of the justice league because it is fucking awesome
it is really really cool so i mean that for the far future if you want to do an elseworlds thing
but there's so that's one that i think people should leave in the comments like what dc show
would you like to see on hbo max
there's so many great characters out there villains heroes anti-heroes which one would you
like to see i mean even deathstroke joe mangi and elo got to come in at the end of justice league
and never got to be anyone else so like a show with him bring him into peacemaker if you want
give him a cameo there i would be in for a deathstroke show i don't think it works as
a show but i i just want bane i want bane back i want bane done right so that's definitely not
a show if they did like what if they did like i know they're doing a team titans but what if they
did a bat family show and it was like robin um nightwing and red hood and batgirl against you
know the gotham city ro Rogues gallery in a world
where maybe Batman is like passed on or I don't know it's set it in the fucking Nolan verse or
where he's gone I don't know you can't set it in the Nolan verse don't fuck with the Nolan verse
actually I don't want to not yet don't fuck with that do not touch that do not touch that's like
fucking putting it for the kids do not touch and like taping it too so they know not to touch it but i do think like there is a chance that they kind of have to build this thing at a reasonable
pace and i think tv might be a better way to do that and with the world is a streaming world now
it's not like i was in my i had a some of my parents because we were getting our floors done
and it was like the polyurethane i was getting high off the fumes in the house so i slept at
their house and they're like oh if you want to like watch tv there's a cable and then here's like the roku remote if
you want to stream i was like i have no use for the tv right now the meds already lost during the
day i have no use for regular tv this day and age though like it feels like i'm just watching
mini movies when it's on a streaming network and it's on i mean loki was completely like that like
we talked about it every week felt like a 60 minute marvel movie and it was fucking awesome and like if you want to do that it's probably i don't know if it's more expensive
to do it like that it probably is if you're shooting more content like if you're shooting
rather than two hours like 10 hours of content but i really do think it's worth it i think it's worth
it in building characters i think people are more likely to get hooked on it um dylan had about
writes in it says,
what made this one so much better than the last one? Clem, you didn't see the last one. I've kind
of touched on certain things throughout it. I think the last one suffered a lot from the editing
dilemma where they brought in that trailer company to recut the entire movie. It had jumbled up tone
where you didn't know if they were going for the karaoke or the dark thing
it had a lot of time spent on character backstories where this one kind of got right into it kind of
showed us backstories along the way as the characters were learning about each other we
were learning backstories i think this one was 10 times better than the last one to be honest and i
wasn't someone who was so negative about the suicide squad i think i actually the first one i think i actually defended it more than most because i liked some of the
performances even though i didn't love jared leto's joker i kind of liked that he was brought
in in a way where basically in that one harley was on another mission where they took her from jail
and sent her on a suicide mission but jared leto broke out of jail as the joker and was like i'm
gonna fucking go pick harley up and get her off this mission and she was like yeah mr j come pick me
up i liked that storyline so there were elements about it that i liked i didn't think the whole
thing was horrible but i thought the tone of this one the understanding of the source material
willing to get wacky with it having the weight weight of actual people dying, a big body count.
The last one didn't have a big body count.
The last one, pretty much everyone made it till the end.
Really?
Yeah, this was like the Suicide Squad.
Yeah.
This just felt like what it should be.
Felt a lot more comic book-y, felt a lot brighter.
It was a lot funnier.
And it felt like it knew what it wanted to be.
And it was a James Gunn, crazy, zany superhero movie.
So what's the difference between the first one and the second one?
James Gunn.
That's one way to say it, right?
You brought James Gunn in and you had to make a James Gunn movie.
And it really worked out.
Harry Heichelt said, will you watch Aquaman 2 if we are guaranteed that King Shark is in it?
I'll watch Aquaman 2 no matter what.
Have you seen Aquaman, Clem?
I have not seen Aquaman.
Aquaman is an enjoyable movie.
It was a surprising one because you know what?
I always liked Aquaman.
Like growing up, I liked Aquaman.
I thought he was cool.
And then you watch Robot Chicken
and you watch the cartoons and you watch the memes
and you're like, oh, fuck, people hate Aquaman, don't they?
He's kind of the butt of the joke.
And then the new 52 came out when I was in high school,
which is where DC kind of said, all right, we're starting over at issue one
with all of our series.
We want to revamp everything.
And the Aquaman one was written by Jeff Johnson.
It was so badass.
They made him an awesome character with awesome villains.
Just really cool.
So I was excited when they cast Jason Momoa as Aquaman.
I was like, that's a badass actor.
I really like Jason Momoa. And I thought he was really good in the justice league i thought he was one of
the highlights of that movie and then i never saw aquaman when it came out i don't know why it just
was like yeah it was a dc movie so it wasn't you know urgent on the list months later i had a
three chi night with trent we sat on the couch and we watched aquaman together it might have been the most
enjoyable movie watching experience we ever had and i don't know if it was the three cheer the
aquaman itself but it just all hit at the same time there's weird like game of thrones elements
in aquaman that i think they tried to put in there with like arthur being like all right now you're
the john snow like you kind of have to be the king of this kingdom and he doesn't want to be the king of the kingdom.
And he's got, you know, a half brother, I think,
who was like very anti-head.
It is a enjoyable movie.
You got Tamora Morrison, our guy Boba Fett's in the movie.
He's great in it.
I would recommend Aquaman.
So yeah, I will watch Aquaman.
I hope King Shark 2 is in it,
or King Shark is in Aquaman 2 because that would be a great connection.
This is going to sound so lame, but it's the God's honest truth. It's not even like I'm stupid. it or king shark is in aquaman 2 because that would be a great connection this is gonna sound
so lame but it's the god's honest truth it's not even like i'm stupid and it's the real reason i
want to talk to him because i'm the same with you i'm called drago i feel like i know what you're
about to say because you want vinnie chase to be playing aquaman it's because the fake aquaman
movie was so good that doesn't even exist. I feel like they can't possibly
match it. And it's the God's honest
truth. I honestly, I'm like
this was the one that
they took out Spider-Man. They took
out Spider. They squashed the insect. They
squashed the bug. And there was roving blackouts
in the valley that fucking
day, that weekend. And that
is how broken brained I am. But it's
the God's honest truth. So I how broken brained i am but it's the it's the
god's honest truth so i'm i'll try to watch it but it's really it's like a really hard hurdle
to get up now it's a it's a long movie so i think it's like over two hours where you're like oh
geez it could have been shorter for sure but there's a lot of just like and it's not like
wow this is really well made it's almost like it reminds me of a throwback superhero movie that you would watch like it'd be a super summer blockbuster that almost in the sam raimi spider-man
era where you're like this is a little silly and campy but it works and it's fun we're gonna get
like a seven eight out of it right it's like we're not looking to like you know exactly another
infinity war but we're just gonna have some fun you're gonna hit the high notes you're gonna see
a couple of uh you know villains you like along the way yeah which is completely like it's crazy how much everything has evolved where
everyone's looking for easter eggs and what does this mean and was this villain gonna appear yeah
someone wrote in i forget who it was i'm sorry um that i didn't write your name down but they
were like were you guys disappointed that you didn't get like batman or superman in this one
and i was like i really didn't expect any of those guys in this one so no i wouldn't have minded a couple of light dc references and there might have been some that
went over my head because i'm not a dc guy but i liked the kryptonite bullet and it's like maybe
one more thing like ah she's fucked batman like uh what was the name of the um that chick that
that that chick creature uh looked like a He-Man.
The one that jumped on the helicopter. Oh, in the beginning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the orange.
I forget what her name was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, oh yeah, her and Bruce Wayne.
You'd be like, really? Huh?
Like, yeah, she's sort of some Poison Ivy self or like Poison Ivy,
like referencing something like that. Yeah, I would have liked that.
Exactly.
Before we get into our final question, which is a big one, I think,
I want to tell everyone about the biggest pay-per-view of the month.
That's Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley.
And I know you guys are saying, what, Robbie?
You don't like these Jake Paul fights and stuff, right?
Listen, what's special about it this time is we've got Dave and Big Cat on the broadcast.
My rough and rowdy broadcasting partners.
It's kind of cool that
i get to say that fucking dave and big cat are my partners yeah it's mostly them doing the heavy
lifting i'll jump in with a line here and there but they're actually going to be on the broadcast
this time the barstool sports book i think is the main sponsor of it it's going to say that on the
ring i'm actually getting into it as well because tyron woodley is from the ufc world and i'm a
little more uh confident in his chances against Jake Paul,
the problem child, than I was with Ben Askren's. Showtime pay-per-view and the most valuable
promotions presents Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley, a five-fight pay-per-view event in Jake
Paul's hometown, Cleveland, Ohio. This will take place on Sunday, August 29th, and it'll be
distributed by Showtime's pay-per-view beginning live at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.
The main event, as I mentioned, is the Problem Child, Jake Paul versus former UFC champion Tyron, the chosen one, Woodley.
Woodley is, yes, a wrestler like Jake Paul, like Ben Askren and a former teammate of Ben Askren's.
But he's got much better hands than Ben Askren ever had.
I mean, go back, look at his knockout of Robbie Lawler. If he could connect with a shot like that with Jake Paul, I would
just love to see how Jake Paul takes it punch. So I'm interested in that. I think this is a
definitely the toughest challenge of Jake's career. And we'll see the main event is available
on all major cable satellite and telco pay-per-view providers for $59.99. And you can also get it on the Showtime app or showtime.com slash PPV.
So there you go. Dave and Big Cat on the broadcast. That's going to be awesome.
I mean, people are going to tune in just to see that.
I feel like we're due for one of those crazy weird barstool moments that we
could have never in a million years predicted.
It's whenever like we start sniffing in the mainstream,
like Big Cat doing the hot dog eating contest again doused in pita yeah something weird's gonna happen during
maybe like tyron woodley gets a huge knockout and jake paul's finally out cold he gets memed
yeah exactly or like a portnoy call like there's gonna be someone that's gonna be that's gonna live
on the internet forever um so so check it out i'm interested to see also bob fox talking trash about someone's hands whoa that's that's
really that's a no you do that in the fucking fight game you might be the next one in that ring
no no i just stay on the other side of the guardrail our final question is from patrick
winem winem i hope i said that right he says where does this movie rank among the dceu for
you guys as far as quality it's
probably number one in front of wonder woman for me i enjoyed the snyder trilogy more so i've
actually written down my full rankings with the dceu all 11 movies i think these are going to be
controversial i think i dislike some movies that people like a lot i think i like some movies that
people don't really like clem i know you haven't seen all of them so how many have you seen dc movies it could be the title i'll go through my list and if you've seen
them yeah you you can chime in i'll start at uh number one which is the suicide squad for me this
is my number one everything i said about it earlier just makes it the most up my alley movie.
It felt like this movie was made for me in a lot of ways.
So this was my favorite DCEU movie.
I hope they go in this direction in the future.
Number two is Wonder Woman for me.
I think Wonder Woman is a really, really well-made movie with, I would say, the best scene in all of the DCEU.
That No Man's Land scene gives me chills and makes the hair on my
arms stand up every time i watch it every time i catch that on tnt i'll throw it on and that's
also kind of how my rankings are listed like i'm not ranking these in quality like jeff d lowe does
where it's like this one's a 99 this one's a 95 these are more like the most likely um uh the
movies i'm most likely to go back and watch
like in this order yes yes um you have seen wonder woman right and those are probably my top two we'll
see what other ones i've seen but yeah those those have both been seen number three would be the first
ever dceu movie for me man of steel i know a lot of people have issues with this and i don't love
superman cracking zod's neck at the end either i don't love him getting so dark with it, but there's a lot that I do love about this movie. There's the first invasion of Z three. Number four, I just mentioned Aquaman for all the reasons.
Just told Clem to go watch it.
It's just a fun movie.
Like take some 3G and watch Aquaman.
It'll be a good time.
Number five is Batman versus Superman.
I know it's going to be super controversial for me to put that movie ahead of some of the ones I have below it.
But I don't hate it as much as a lot of people do.
I hate a lot
about it i hate the i hate batman using guns and killing people and i hate how dark they went the
martha stuff is so like eye roll worthy but it's got the best batman fight scene maybe we've ever
seen with batfleck there's some cool bruce wayne stuff the fight between batman and superman i like
so if i catch that one on tv usually i'll throw it on and see if ine stuff the fight between batman and superman i like so if i catch that one on tv
usually i'll throw it on and see if i could catch the fight between batman and superman
number six i would go justice league and not this act snyder justice league i know that's
controversial to put joss whedon's above snyder's i just don't want to watch a four-hour movie
ever literally ever i don't want to watch a four-hour movie so the original justice league
goes uh ahead of it next i would go with the original suicide squad which is going to be so controversial me putting it above
some of these but i don't know suicide squad was a movie that until like i read about it more
i was like all right it was bad but it wasn't horrible and then you dig into it you're like i
guess it was horrible after that i would go birds of prey which is not a horrible movie by any means a movie that actually got pretty good reviews
it bombed at the box office but this was just simply the most forgettable superhero movie i
have ever seen in my entire life it had our guy ewan mcgregor as black mask a villain i like a lot
it had huntress in it a villain anti-hero I like a lot,
had Harley Quinn. She has a great scene in the beginning where she describes a bacon, egg,
and cheese. And I was like, I relate to that hard. But other than that, I don't remember anything
about the movie. I watched it less than a year ago and I'm not smoking that much 3G. It was just
that forgettable. After that, I would go Wonder Woman 1984. Not a great movie.
Put out on HBO Max this year. Pedro Pascal kind of saved it for me with his amazing over-the-top
80s campy performance. And then I would go Zack Snyder's Justice League. And in Dead Last,
one of the best-reviewed movies of the DCEU, Shazam. I don't know what it was about this movie. It didn't click for
me. I said to Jeff D. Lowe, who I saw it with on opening night, if I wasn't with Jeff, I would
have walked out of the theater and not finished the movie. I actually left before the post-credits
scene. Don't give a fuck. It just didn't hit for me. Zachary Levi and the kid, it just,
the chemistry was so weird. I didn't like the way it was shot. I hated the villain.
I didn't like the CGI. I thought it was so corny and campy.
It just came off like a movie that would have came out in 2002 that like in
theaters at the same time as like, I don't know,
the corny Norbit or something like I did not like Shazam.
I in fact hated it and I hate very few movies. So that is my full rankings.
I would go to the suicide squad, wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Aquaman, Batman v Superman,
Justice League, Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, Zack Snyder's Justice League,
and Shazam. I've never seen Shazam. I will say the the posters they're not doing it for me um bob fox is i think
you're looking to get into a fight now bob you challenge someone's hands and now you're pissing
off an entire uh comic book legion but the thing is i think dc fans have been so beaten down over
the years i don't think anyone's gonna really well the snyder fans are crazy you can't criticize
anything that they say um but anything else they don't really give a fuck about i mean they were
demanding that james gonna apologize for this that zack snyder's technically an
executive producer on just because he didn't acknowledge the snyder verse enough and he
didn't restore it into canon like i'm sorry crazy people they've gotten they've got a little too
crazy too strong they got their their wish revealed i have people dming me out of the blue
release the and there's some other cut of some other the air cut of the suicide squad is that
okay so there it is because i'm like uh i don't know what the fuck you're talking about i so it
was someone like bunch of people they must have seen that i tweeted released a snyder cut before
i even knew what the snyder cut was it's like all right this guy gets us so then they're telling me
to do that.
And this is probably, I guess.
I'll put it in.
But yeah, someone at Comic-Con just put it,
released the Snyder Cut or picket sign in Clem's hand
and took a picture of me.
And he was like, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
He didn't know what the Snyder Cut was.
Very funny picture for me to look at.
Knowing that context, I always laugh looking at that.
You're like, I don't know, Snyder Cut, release it.
So make sure you listen
video by the way subscribe and put in the comments what you think the next dc hbo max show should be
shout out jake bass coming up with the great questions for us i got a question for you bob
before we sign off yeah favorite member of the suicide squad in this set in this movie
who is your number one guy
king shark it would it would be king shark i thought it would
be king shark going in and it really was number two would be polka dot man mine's mine's polka
dot man and number two for me was rat catcher too i just like i liked her maybe just so delightful
yeah it's like she's done more for the good PR for rats than anyone.
Anyone ever, baby.
Maybe since Charles Entertainment Cheese.
Oh, Charles Entertainment Cheese.
I was going to say Ratatouille.
Yeah, Ratatouille is a good one.
They make that joke and they're like, oh, come on, Ratatouille.
Yeah, exactly.
So, yeah, shout out.
I mean, we lost a good one in Polka Dot, man.
But I think if you go into future Suicide Squad,
knowing you're going to find some people you love
and knowing you might lose them,
it might kind of get you more emotionally charged
and see how everything plays out.
It makes you like them more.
You're like, I only had them for 45 minutes or whatever.
I only had them for a little bit of time,
and then they're gone.
You don't risk overexposure at all doing that.
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know
what you got until it's gone so you're gonna pay paradise and put up a parking lot pay paradise
