Shazam! Fury of the Gods - Decent, but Tired
Show Notes

MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

Melanie and Melvin discuss Shazam! Fury of the Gods, a decent-enough sequel that’s far-too-late in a far-too-tired genre.

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 30-minutes discussing the future DCCU plans to completely rework the canon, something Melanie wasn’t aware of, and why neither of them are interested in a future with more superhero movies (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Celebrating Shazam!, perhaps DC’s best movie in this particular universe of films.
  • Discussing David F. Sandberg as a creator, both in and out of theaters.
  • Shazam! Fury of the Gods, like most DC movies, is a film with occasional successes but mostly missed opportunities.
  • Noticing the performance disparity between Zachary Levi and Asher Angel, two actors playing different versions of the Barry Batson character.
  • Is the Cinematic Doctrinecrew even excited for geek-themed media anymore?
  • Are the Daughters of Atlas good villains? Discuss.
  • Discussing what is quantifiably the worst part of Shazam! Fury of the Gods: The ending.
  • And discussing those credit sequences, which probably don’t matter because the canon is being reworked anyway.

Recommendations:

  • Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy
  • Thrifting for Blu-Rays that include (most likely) working Digital Codes
