Evan starts this week by plugging his appearance on a long-time friend’s podcast Seeing Read with Jim and Kelly, the show that answers the age-old millennial question: Was the book really better than the movie? He had a really fun time with them comparing M. Night Shyamalan’s KNOCK AT THE CABIN to the book CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD! Evan and Megan then talk about Sara Watts and Mark Slutsky’s moving queer drama YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER (2:44), about a lesbian teen (Anwen O’Driscoll) who goes to live with her Jehovah’s Witness relatives and falls hard for a member of the community (June Laporte). Next, Dave and Megan discuss the emotionally intense GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 (18:39), James Gunn’s final film in his Marvel trilogy about the ragtag group of galaxy defenders. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we cover a Patron’s choice: Andy Tennant’s 1998 fairy tale EVER AFTER: A CINDERELLA STORY, starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott!

BECKETT, THE SUICIDE SQUAD, and VIVO on Episode #370
Get ready for a singing animated kinkajou, a ragtag group of antiheroes blowing up a fake Latin American country, and a clueless American getting the crap kicked out of him in Greece! We start this week with Kirk DeMicco and Brandon Jeffords’s sweet but saccharine Netflix animated film VIVO (0:55), starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ynairaly Simo, Zoe Saldana, and Gloria Estefan. Next, we discuss James Gunn’s THE SUICIDE SQUAD (15:36), not to be confused with that other awful DC movie about a task force of supervillains, starring an ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Daniela Melchior, Sylvester Stallone, and Viola Davis. Gunn’s adaptation is much better, but still has us split. And lastly we review Ferdinando Cito Filomarino’s Netflix thriller BECKETT (37:11) starring John David Washington, which has some strong action, yet weak writing. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Sam Raimi’s 2009 horror film DRAG ME TO HELL!

Then we talk about Luc Besson’s lackluster LUCY and Kat Chandler’s so-so HELLION. Plus, Dave freaks out when he learns James Gunn directed the upcoming GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
