Episode notes

Welcome to Episode 392 and we are talking James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad!!! We are joined by Ashley de Riveter, Tristan Brown and Joe Stark (Starkcast podcast). Brian gave his rating last week but what about Leftover Jake and the rest of the crew?

In this episode we talk about the movie what we liked and what didn’t work. We also talk about what James Gunn could do for future DC movies and the upcoming Peacemaker series on HBO Max. James Gunn at one time wanted to do The Suicide Squad VS Superman??? This one was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Welcome to Belle Reve, where the worst Supervillains are kept and where they will do anything to get out — even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Those willing to take the chance find themselves dropped (literally) on a remote jungle island for a search and destroy mission. Did we mention it’s teeming with militant adversaries and guerilla forces? One wrong move and they’re dead.

The Suicide Squad stars Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, David Dastmalchian, Michael Rooker, Daniela Melchior, Juan Diego Botto, Joaquin Cosio, Steve Agee, Storm Reid, Nathan Fillion, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Jennifer Holland, and Tinash Kajese; with Sylvester Stallone and Viola Davis.
