Episode 166: James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD (+ THE GREEN KNIGHT)

The Wages of Cinema

THE WAGES OF CINEMA PODCAST IS A PODCAST!!!!! But for real, we're so glad you can join us this week for the hot-as-a-OMG-WE'RE-BUNRING-ALIVE takes on the latest (and greatest?) of DCEU movies... or do we even consider them part of this "Extended" universe or is it just... filmmakers making the stuff they want to? Seems that way. And all the better for us where we now have 100+ million blockbusters featuring the likes of Weasel, TDK(what does it stand for? does it matter?) and of course King Shark, Ratcatcher, Peacemaker and a bunch of characters I'm fairly sure you don't know of.... Ok that's not true, our Guest St... sorry, Matt THE CONQUERER Catania (why not Guest Starro Matt Catania? Hey we can get nice things, too!) Anyway, he's here to dish on where many of these new characters come from in DC lore, and unleashes his wisdom like a.... really cool dude. We also talk for about ten minutes at the start about The Green Knight, the new fantasy epic directed by David Lowry also now in general release. - and spoilers begin at about 24 minutes in so you've been forewarned! SPOILER SHARK IS STILL A SHARK! Ok, we'll stop now. Matt Catania can be found at https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com and we can be found on most social media, Apple Podcasts and [e-mail]
