And we're back! Ain't no stopping now (No stopping!) No one does it better! Oh, wait, actually that's just the song that opens the episode, from the Cannon films classic BREAKIN' which we discuss on the latest episode of Wages of Cinema. - But FIRST - we discuss for the first 34 minutes about the James Gunn situation on Twitter, where Disney decided to can Gunn after some offensive tweets came to light from years ago.

How BIG can this review get? This isn't a very SMALL movie is it? How many times will Jack straighten his non-existent tie as he makes bad small-thing jokes? How does a Steven Universe song figure into all of this. Jack, Korey, the OG co-host Andrew and Guest Star Matt (of https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com) are all on this episode for the THIRD Marvel Cinematic Universe entry in 2018, and this time it appears to be a lighter, less OMG THIS IS EVERYTHING entry than Infinity War... it also

For this special, jam-packed, three-film extravaganza(if you can call them all in the traditional sense 'films'), we needed some help... and who better than the co-host on the previous SEX in CINEMA episodes (those previous ones being numbers 7.5 and 27.3) - ANDREW!

We're back! Thank you so much for continuing to listen and support us. We have a lot to catch up on here, and we also get into a discussion on representation in film criticism. We got the latest from the director of 20 Feet From Stardom on one of the legends of children's television; unnecessary but passable remakes/reboots; national treasure Eric Roberts; A24's latest WTF offering on over 2 thousand screens.

Where else can you go from the first Deadpool? Turns out, you can go to many places - and especially other rather 'colorful' characters (that includes you, grim-face Josh Brolin as Cable) - and once again the Wages of Cinema is there to see all the X-Men skewering and slicing/dicing mayhem and don't give AF comedy that Reynolds and company have in store (and don't forget the most important character: Peter!) And of course for such an occasion one can't do such a review without Guest Star

So, we saw this separately this time, for various reasons, which makes our reactions to this third collaboration, another suburban dramedy, between director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody pretty fresh. And... boy oh boy do we have some thoughts (and by we I mostly mean Korey - note from editor). Spoilers begin at 22 minutes in, and yes there are BIG spoilers in this review (just listen for the baby crying sound to know if you should stop or not). wagesofcinema@gmail.com

Well.... you know how it goes. When four 'Wagers' combine, our powers make up the Wages of Cinema MEGAGROUP! And from here we can... sit around and talk about movies, such as Infinity War, which has enough characters to make up the population of a small country.

Now, who could we ask about their all-time top favorite movies? How about the new co-host of the podcast, Korey?! This has been a long time coming and here Jack and Korey talk about her favorite movies, which is an eclectic batch of family animation, prestige drama, and pot boilers made for the ladies (usually). Also, Woody Allen, Richard Linklater, and and Michel Gondry all in one podcast! (And sure, not many "old" Hollywood classics, but why carp over taste?) This is a good episode, so check

Jack and Korey talk at great length about the new horror-thriller that marks John Krasinski's first big studio effort as director (and of all things produced by *that guy*? To find out who you gotta listen to the episode). Then, another 2 minute movie mile (give or take a couple) that ranges from two highly specific and very different auteurs, to direct-to-video schlock, and Nicolas Cage being his Cagiest in a long time. Oh, and STALIN too? This is a good one to listen to here on the Wages of

2018/04/01

What, might you ask, do the new films by super-mogul-sometimes(no always)-auteur Tyler Perry and Academy Award winning, super-meticulous, pushing-boundaries-of-technology-and-cinema Steven Soderbergh have in common? Well, dear listeners, we're still not sure! But we jammed two reviews of them into one episode anyway; while we don't exactly compare the two films, we thought they went well together in the sense that they both involve highly determined female leads (in different ways of course),

So what happens when a franchise's first director - in this case Guillermo del Toro, who had a pretty surprising film that worked out well - steps back to just a producer role and the guy who's done, well, episodes of Daredevil (yey) and episodes of... Spartacus: Blood and Sand (huh? But it has a colon like this movie does, so yey I guess?) steps in? You get Pacific Rim: Uprising, which takes the concept of robots and monsters from another dimension and does... well, did we like it, is what you're

If you go a little ways back into the podcast - on Soundcloud we have the helpful Playlist that has all of our Local Vocal episodes - you can find that episode 5 was a talk with writer, actor and now director Devin T Klos. It was a good conversation, but we had to have Devin back on the podcast as he has directed his first feature: IDOL WORSHIP.

So, how do you follow up on introducing a very pissed-off Wakandan prince in Captain America: Civil War (you can search for episode 47 to find our thoughts on that film)who appears in a rather nifty black suit? Well, if you're Marvel, hiring Ryan ("Creed", "Fruitvale Station") Coogler is a great way to go about it, but also by populating your film with the best in African-American (or African-British or straight-up African) talent there is on screen, and giving us some faces we haven't seen enough

"Pleasebabypleasebabybabybabyplease!" With these immortal words of a come-on as Mars Blackmon, Spike Lee burst on the cinema world in 1986 with his ultra low-budget debut, SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT. 31 years later, he decided to expand this story of a young, independent woman with three men in her life (and bed) to a ten-part, roughly 5 1/2 hour long Netflix series. How does 1986 compare to today? Well... Jack and Korey are about to find out on this second installment of the "VERSUS" series (go back

We haven't done this in a LONG time, which makes this all the more satisfying to bring back: the "Two Minute Movie Mile" (or 2MMM for short), where we each get two minutes (or four if it's one we both saw) to discuss a movie. You got to get it out in those 120 seconds or it'll never happen again! Mwahaha. Anyway, here are the movies Jack and/or Korey saw: THE SNOWMAN (2017) MAN BITES DOG (1992) ME BEFORE YOU (2016) WISH UPON (2017) COFFY (1973) PADDINGTON 2 (2018) PHANTOM THREAD

This is a long, meaty discussion of the 90th Oscar nominations. HEAR! Jack's theory about why The Post could get best picture as a way to spite Harvey Weinstein (or make a correction, you pick) - Korey sigh upon hearing the mere mention of Call Me By Your Name - Guillermo del Toro for best

Andrew has more to say The Last Jedi, and both hosts have a lot to say about internet hype (Jack goes into a tangent on Bob Dylan) and about audience expectations, then Jack sees a woman fall in love with a fish man, Andrew talks about It's a Wonderful Life for the 800th time (or so), and Jack sees Bill Murray and Rita Hayworth at their peaks (and Michael Shannon... sometimes).
