Hey everyone and welcome to another very special edition of Plumbing the Death Star,
where we ask the important questions like,
what did we think of Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice?
You're garbage! I loved it alright
best film of the year
wait wait wait everyone chill
we just need to make it very very clear
just in case
this will be so full of spoilers
so if you're listening
to this and you're like oh I wonder if they're going to spoil it
we're literally going to talk about every single aspect of the film.
Start to finish, we'll give you the plot points.
If you don't want to see the film, you can just listen to this.
Yeah, pretty much.
So what did I think of the film?
I'm going to go with trash-flavoured trash with a side of trash,
but I loved it.
I had one of the best times I ever had,
and it also took a hot, steamy shit on everything I love about DC.
There were so many times where I was like, excuse me?
Where is this going?
From the moment Batman gets levitated out of the game by Bat,
you're like, I guess I'm in for a ride today.
I guess I've got to strap myself in because we're off.
I honestly forgot that happened through all the other bullshit.
I was like, are they just going?
What direction is this?
Is this kid Superman?
Is that what's happening?
This is a strange thing.
What's occurring?
But I just want to point out,
we joked that if it opened up with a flashback in a flashback,
and then a dream, it all happened.
It did.
It all fucking happened.
All of the stuff that we joked,
like, as in, we made serious predictions
in the what do we think is going to happen episode,
but then we also made joke predictions, and our joke predictions were pretty accurate they were
spot on literally all the cameos happened at once wonder woman is like she might as well have opened
she because she she watches videos of them on the flash cyborg and aquaman she watches them all on
like a computer but she might as well have just opened up the upcoming film file.
Wait, did she open...
I found it really weird because
Cyborg was first and then Aquaman
was last, but she opened up in
a weird order. She did.
Aquaman, Flash,
Cyborg. Is that the release schedule?
Sure is. That's the best.
Fucking hilarious.
That's the order that...
Why not just order the
files
why make her open
them dumb also it's
ordered in a way where it goes oh
and we see Wonder Woman's file first whose
film is before the other yeah
because I'm pretty sure at the moment the schedule is
Wonder Woman like there's other movies
in between because at the moment it's
Suicide Squad
boo
yes I'm not excited for that either
I'm super excited this movie has made me so
excited like it has revitalized my
like superhero films because
like I don't know if it can get worse
oh yeah my review of this is negative 10
out of 10 but negative like imagine
a review as a circle
what I agree I don't know this
movie i'm either a 2 out of 10 or a negative 10 out of 10 it's so bad but it's this movie just
like popped me out the other side like i was like like man of suey come out and you're like i hate
my life this one you're like i hate my i love my life what's going on um yeah so very easily pleased and i still hate it um i all right
okay let's have a bit of semblance of structure this because otherwise just gonna be like this
bit and this bit yeah yeah all right one thing i will say that i actually really liked about this
okay that's a good way to start what I like the movie. Let's have a symbiont of structure.
Okay, favorite bit.
Favorite bit.
Because like,
you got to do the praise before you take the hot steam.
All right, we'll go favorite.
I know that outlaying
a structure in any episode
we ever do.
Never happens.
Never happens,
but I'm going to try again.
We'll do favorite bit.
Then we'll talk about,
then we'll go least favorite bit.
Then we're going to talk about
things that did not make any sense
because that will be a long time.
That's a good hour and a half.
That'll be the rest of the episode.
And then we'll sort out an ending or some shit.
Anyway.
So damn it.
Thing you like.
I loved Batfleck.
I did.
Yeah, he was amazing.
He was great.
He was a good Batman.
He was a good Batman.
I loved the whole him being in Metropolis.
I loved that.
I actually loved the moment they went 18 months later.
If they had just not done that and the whole movie was just Ben Affleck
chuffing around Metropolis doing some stuff and like no Batsuit
just rolling up his sleeves in his like fucking grey slacks,
I would have been like, this is for me.
This is a quick instant derailment
But a side note, there's not a lot of Batman
There's way more Bruce Wayne in this time
There's actually not a lot of Batman and Superman fighting at all
There's a lot of times where they come close
And then they're like, anyway, see you around
Like honestly
They fight once, you predicted three times
I predicted twice
And then once in a dream
They actually just fight once, they don't even fight in a dream. He punches him in the heart.
There's one fight
and it's real quick.
And then it becomes a fight against Doomsday.
It's actually not
much fighting going on.
In the light of business I have,
we have a luxury version
of a cinema, which I
was working in today. So yeah, I saw the movie
at midnight last
night and then slept for three hours and then spent eight hours at work today just watching
people watch this movie so there's a lot of batman v superman on my brain at the moment but yeah um
we have like what we bring them food in this thing uh we have start middle and towards the end and
towards the end it was
still before any of the fighting happens that's that's the pacing of this movie is like oh wow
so yeah pacing is so strange so yeah so one thing i liked i loved that flick and i loved him open
the opening bit which was like i'm actually sold i was almost very much sold being like so good
same like i was i thought maybe at that point I was still excited.
Yeah.
I was like,
maybe this is going to be good.
Maybe it's going to be good.
And then it was like,
Oh no,
let's have Superman rip through a terrorist.
Let's have Superman fuck off to an undisclosed Middle Eastern location.
I think it was in Africa.
Yeah,
it was.
Oh no,
that's right.
It was Africa.
Cause I'm getting confused.
So not Middle East,
Africa.
Let's have him We did it
Sorry, we're just moving a mattress in the background
Are we the heroes?
Did we win?
It's falling on my head
Also, Superman's, like, again, as an aside to an aside
Superman's powers in this, like the speed at which he can fly
Super vague
Superman goes from like one place to
one place in like a second sometimes i was worried about i'm not worried i was like bothered by that
as well like he gets to like it's like he can leave his office and suddenly be in mexico and
back within like an hour he catches lois when she gets pushed off the building like where was he
before he's in his costume when he catches her. Does he do it on the fly?
Does he do it literally on the fly?
Imagine if he dropped it.
I want to see him catch Lois with one arm
and have his clothes in the other.
Or like a suit bag hung over his shoulder.
Already more tangents.
But on this note,
do we have the technology to shoot a nuclear missile into space?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we do because
America was going to nuke the moon
just because they could.
I remember that.
To be like, we need to get this up and running
with that pinpoint accuracy.
Absolutely.
We have this tech.
We're still terrified of the Russians.
I'm not joking, we can. I think that's we're still terrified of the russians i'm not joking we can i think that's fair that fear of the russians it's a real big country all you need to do is fire the missile up and be like detonate now no but it's not hard
no but is it like they'd have to fight but can you fire a missile into space and aim at one person
because they do that they are trying well. Being able to aim a nuke at one person is overkill.
Well, being able to aim a nuke at another nuke is very difficult.
Here's a question about that scene.
Why did Doomsday fall, but Superman floated?
I'm sure that there's an explanation.
Like, is Superman just lighter?
My question is, why?
Hang on a minute.
No, because gravity.
They're in space.
Because in this point of the film,
Superman punches, flies Doomsday into space.
No, save this for the...
The business don't make sense.
Go on, Sam.
What else did you like in the movie?
I just...
I want to say that's it.
Okay.
Perfect.
Ben Affleck and the opening of the film.
True, though.
I...
Like, Wonder Woman
I wasn't expecting much
and I didn't get much
She used a lasso
When Wonder Woman was fighting Doomsday
I was like, that's how you make Wonder Woman fight Doomsday
It was good, she fought like a warrior
She stabbed at his legs
I liked that she was doing damage to him
because he's Kryptonian and magic fucks up Kryptonians.
I'm like, that's a nice little bit of lore for me.
That's good.
She used the lasso and I will admit,
I was like, yes, sitting in my chair.
Other than that.
She used the kryptonite spear as that made sense for her.
Oh, no, she didn't.
That's right.
Superman ran it at the guy as though it was a sword.
Yeah.
Or a little dagger.
Superman wasn't like, I have the kryptonite spear,
which will kill Doomsday
and what's that Wonder Woman
you're good at fighting
with martial weapons
by the fact that you have a sword
Lois Lane would have done
a better job
I would love to
if he was like
as he was like
you know
rushing along with the spear
yeah
instead of he kept slowing down
yeah
exponentially
until at the end
he's like this
wouldn't he be going to be
just careened into the ground
stabs himself in the foot
oh yeah
why is it that Superman
can suddenly...
Save it for later.
Save it for the bits that are ridiculous.
Alright, your favourite bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I like Wonder Woman fighting the guy.
I think I like most of Batman.
I like his voice modulation.
I like his armour.
Batman was great.
I like everything about Batman.
I like everything about Wonder Woman except her costume
and her acting
is Gal Gadot an actor?
I don't know
what Gal Gadot sounds like
is when they get a wrestler
or a musician
to come into a film
and act
and you're like
you're clearly untrained
that's what Gal Gadot sounded like
she's great in Fast and Furious 6
I don't know why
she was so rubbish
in this
she sounded like
she was half asleep
the whole time
I think it's because
she has a
she has an accent
She's trying her best to hide that accent
No she wasn't
She wasn't trying to hide it at all
No but that's not her natural accent
That's not what she sounds like
What?
Then what was she doing?
Why was she like
What's Wonder Woman? Spanish?
She's from Spanish mythology
I'll do a Spanish? She's from Spanish mythology, yeah?
I'll do a Spanish voice.
That's good.
Someone's like, I think she's Greek.
No.
Deal lost mortals. It doesn't matter.
Don't worry, don't tell her anything.
It's not even a Spanish accent anyway.
Who knows what she's doing?
I hated her costume.
Please give Wonder Woman pants.
She deserves pants.
Warriors, even give her like she has in the comics,
like a Roman, like one of those battle skirts.
That'd be fine.
Don't give her like...
She's Israeli.
Well, it wasn't in it.
What was she doing?
I don't know.
Why?
Israeli via Spain.
Hey, here's an idea, Gal Gadot.
Are you playing a character who's real bulky in the comics?
Do a little weight training, maybe. Don't just be like be like no whatever i'll on the day it'll be fine i think that somebody
was saying uh one of my friends was like i think that's because they wanted her to get in a dress
and if she was bulky like wonder woman she wouldn't have looked good in a dress i and that's
a true bummer yeah because one woman is like an amazon she's she was not muscly no that's she was
like she looked like what an amazing if you're not muscley. No, that's not. She was like lithe.
What an amazing...
If you were up for that role...
Are her legs real bold?
No.
She should have Chun-Li legs.
Chun-Li legs.
Apparently, I was reading weirdly,
but people were saying the same thing,
but she was like,
I did a lot of martial arts training and that kind of thing.
Well, that doesn't make you look appropriate, does it?
Yeah, exactly.
And it's not like you're actually fighting.
Most of that seemed like CGI, so why?
I don't know? I don't know
That was sad
You remember China?
Perfect wrestler, perfect actress for Wonder Woman
Yeah though
Big and huge
That's what Wonder Woman's meant
Things you enjoyed
One more point in her costume
Why was there that one shot where Wonder Woman
Just basically spreads her vagina for the camera?
Remember that moment?
She doesn't actually, come on.
But there's this real weird moment where she's pushed in the ground, her legs kind of splay.
Oh, wait, no, I do remember that.
What?
That was odd.
That was so weird because other than that, there was none of that unnecessary sexualization.
And then they're like, no, we'll give you one moment.
Have a quick shot of her vagina.
Sick.
Carry on. So would you say that's a bit you liked no they're talking about it in a bit you like what else did i like um oh anything else i like batfleck batfleck was great um i liked all of
the stuff that was like suggested by batfleck but like you never like why was the mansion burned out
who knows what was that about why like
why did he stop
this is gonna sound
really bad
but the mansion
was burnt out
yeah like
you look in the background
Wayne Manor
has been bombed
that's why they're
living in the lake house
he drives past it
like twice or something
Alfred is still
a sass queen
and that's good
oh that was super
Alfred sounds so much sassy
he almost wants to die
when Batman
or Bruce
gave Alfred a coffee
oh
that was good
That's not how butlers work
Waking up having a glass of red wine
Super good
Some random woman in his bed in the lake house
Also super good
Jesse Eisenberg
A good time
Because I'm like what are you doing Jesse
How happy were you when he shaved his head
I'm not happy because my question is
Is he the son
of classic lex luther or is he lex luther himself and if he's either why was that shaving his head
significant because if he is classic lex luther then what's the point of saying he's lex luther
jr and if he's lex luther jr we shouldn't be excited that he's getting his head shaved so
he can be more like lex luther because then why not just have lex luther okay i will explain this
what are you doing i can tell you exactly what happened
they would have been like
oh this is a risky move so they've been like
Lex Luthor Jr. Lex Luthor Jr. Lex Luthor Jr.
so if he was well received they'd just be like
that's this universe Lex Luthor
if he's not well received dad's back
we laugh
but I guarantee you that is why
I like as much as Jesse has
like Luthor's plan didn't mean anything, didn't make sense,
nothing he did was relevant to anything.
Stuff you liked!
Stuff you liked!
But I liked that!
Because I was like, what is this guy?
What is wrong with you?
Wait till he gets a bit silent.
He was ridiculous!
I'm trying to think what else the fuck happened in that movie.
A lot, a lot happened.
There's so much.
Oh, what about...
I liked how poorly the Daily Planet is run.
When Superman is like,
I have an idea for a really good article.
And Pete White's like,
Report on sports!
Perry White.
Perry White.
Who is Pete White?
I don't know.
He's someone.
I have no idea.
Anyway.
Yeah, anyway.
I liked that.
That was funny.
And how they just let
Both Lois and Clark
Fuck off
In the middle of the day
With like personal
There's that bit
Where she's like
I want a
Yeah helicopter
Is this for work
No
Then have it
When she wanted it for work
He said no
And there's that moment
Where like there's that
Look in their eyes
And they're looking at each other
And clearly we as the audience
Are supposed to be like
Oh Perry White understands
But I like to think
That's Perry White being like i feel like she thinks i understand
and i can't say no so i'm just gonna take it why does clark oh no wait how does clark kent keep his
job so i think also get hired did he do a journalist degree from memory oh and i loved and I loved and I laughed so hard
When
And it's a stupid thing but it made me so happy
When Lois Lane drops a spear in the water
Then Superman's like I'll get it
Leaps in the water
We don't see what happens
Then it's Lois Lane being like where's Superman
She goes over to the water
Clark is just unconscious in there drowning
Because Clark
Of course It's so funny unconscious in there drowning because Clark of course
it's so funny
he just dived in there
and must have been like oh shit
blah blah blah
he's just hanging there I wish he'd been
dead that would have been
like Superman
Clark
oh no
that was so funny.
I laughed out loud in the cinema.
I just pissed myself.
It was so good.
Like, did they know that was comedic?
Surely they knew.
I think this has been my favorite comedy of the year.
Adisha, what did you love?
Okay, first of all, this one's going to be controversial.
I love that both Superman and Batman are like,
murder, it's all right now. No, that be controversial. I love that both Superman and Batman are like, murder, it's alright now.
No, that's good.
Batman basically uses guns.
That's amazing.
Batman literally stabs a man.
Yeah.
Oh, and the bit where he just grabs a guy's face into the ground.
He's dead.
He's dead.
He's dead.
Superman's like, I'm a terrorist.
Punch him away.
Straight through several walls.
Yep, break his spine.
Oh, fuck fuck that was good
Batman
and also
even though it's a dream sequence
one of about 800
Batman just has a gun
in the movie
he's just like
I'm a shooter
I like that that's the bit
we focus on
but that one also had
Mosquito Man
that was a very
very strange time
why Mosquito Man?
I don't know
because clearly
the Superman soldiers are like
The threat of superman
And batman is like this you know living in a superman
Occupied world
And everything has like a real world something
But then there are just also mosquito men
That aren't fighting
What are they?
I'm just watching
How are they related to the nazi superman people?
But we gotta get through what douche a lot because otherwise we'll never get to what we liked
didn't like
if we start talking about shit that didn't make sense
it'll be night time
yeah so I liked that they were just like
fuck I guess murder that's alright
Jesse Eisenberg fucking loved him
he was just off chops
he was just nuts
so he's just doing what...
Did they even give him a script?
I like to think that they were like,
here's the script, he read through it,
and he's like, not.
So we're just making trash?
And they're like, go nuts, Jesse.
He's like, oh.
Can I basically get high-pitched,
and can I do a scene where I forget the lines
for a speech for some reason?
And they get really impotent angry about it.
And they're like, do it your life.
There was so much impotent rage in this film.
I really liked all of the dream sequences just because
they were so jarring, but it was like
entertaining. Like when Thomas Wayne's
corpse is also man bat for a bit.
That was super good.
That was just the, excuse me?
I got spooked, but I'm happy.
I was just going to say, it was a little jump scare.
What about when Superman's, when Pa Kent is piling rocks?
Oh my God.
I just love that.
Tell me, Pa Kent, do the horses stop screaming?
There were so many horses in the movie.
There were so many dead horses.
It was like exploding building and a horse arrives and is like, whoa.
A whole good plot point was like, yeah, dead horses.
I'm like, ugh.
Is that fucking horse the Batman encounters in The Mist?
Yes!
I like that there was that scene of Batman in The Mist,
and, like, it's just him, except for the horse and one other guy.
And you'd think, if you were trying to imply that The Mist was full of people,
you'd have, like, a lot of people.
But it's just, like, one guy.
You're like, is he significant?
What's this guy doing?
And then he just walks off. Well, Zammett zamet like shit the bed when he was like i'm gonna
call you wally he's like flash he's got no legs he's gonna give him mechanical legs and then he
did i know the flash does turn up though twice for a bit in electricity yelling at batman
who is old batman lois lane Lois Lane she's the key
am I too early
am I too early
I'm too early
and then fucks off again
but then that was
also a dream
so who knows
dream sequences
within dream sequences
what did you like
fuck
what else did I like
there was
there was just so
any time the movie
just went completely
off the rails
I was like yes
alright I liked that they killed Superman also sorry if you're still there was just so anytime the movie just went completely off the rails I was like yes
alright
I liked that they
killed Superman
also
sorry if you're still
listening and you're like
oh they haven't been
spoiled yet
they killed Superman
hashtag
doomsday stabbed first
doomsday stabbed second
so wait
does that mean
the Batman won
does he move on
to the next bracket
who's he fighting next?
Bruce Wayne, heavyweight champion of the world.
Hell in a cell.
I liked the...
Darkseid is going to be in Justice League.
That's pretty good, I guess.
But yeah, no.
Doomsday was actually alright.
I thought it was going to be shithouse.
The trailer made him look shithouse.
He looked like the troll from Lord of the Rings.
But then he got a bit spiky and that's good
It seemed like I was like
What's he gonna do? Just looks like he's gonna smash buildings
And then he does like an electric attack
And also he had the thing where he kept adapting
Which sort of comes, so that's good
I liked that Superman died
I didn't
Oh did you like the Chekhov's doomsday's arm growing?
Yeah
That was nice
For a second I thought when Wonder Woman stabbed him,
she lost her sword in his arm
and that his arm was growing
and going to be like a magic sword arm.
And I was like, that'd stab Superman so good.
I didn't.
Please.
That would stab Superman so well.
Superman would stab Superman so good.
Well done. would stab Superman so good well done I
yeah I like that
they killed Superman
I
was confused
about the fact that
for some reason
the Krypton spear
hurt Doomsday more
when it pushed through him
and the Kryptonite
was out of him
but not good
I don't
yeah
good
Doomsday was alright
I thought Doomsday was going to be shithouse
in fact if this was just Superman Doomsday
it would probably be better
I mean Batman was good
I liked Batman but
I want a Superman movie
to be good
why won't they
what did we do
do you think they killed Superman so they could sneaky
reboot Superman no they killed Superman so they could sneaky reboot Superman?
No, they killed Superman so that they have a reason to form the Justice League.
Because Darkseid is going to come to Earth and they're going to be like, well, fuck.
Batman has a feeling.
And they rang the doorbell, apparently.
No, the bell.
Ring-a-ding-ding.
That fucking scene.
Wonder Woman's like, why should we bring the metahumans together?
Batman's like, I've got a feeling.
I like that Wonder Woman just walks away at that point.
She's like, the fuck, bro?
I don't fucking mean anything.
Anything else?
Nothing else, that's it.
End of list.
I liked Lex's speeches.
I like, no, I just like Jesse Eisenberg.
Lex's speeches were bad, but they were insane.
Like, when he's like, what was I saying?
It's so infuriating with knowledge without power.
Anyway, have a sick party book party launch thing.
Whatever that was.
Adam, what did you love about this glorious film?
I loved Batfleck and literally nothing else.
But I loved everything about him.
I think I'm on Adam's side here. Like branding oh man oh man batman who it's like i love the the only dumb part i loved is that uh fucking
eisenberg uh lex luther is like batman is working with the cops the cops are in bed with batman
but then the only time we see the cops interacting with Batman
is that cop who tries to shoot Batman with a shotgun several times.
I loved his interplay with Alfred.
My God.
Bad guys on the third floor, I guess I'll drop you off on the second.
But most of all, I love Batman is cool with murder.
So cool with
murder. Batman slams into
your car, attaches it to his
and then uses your car as a wrecking
ball to hit some other
cunts. It was super cool.
Oh man, that fight scene with the
fucking Russian mobster or whatever.
Except what pissed me off about that is he
fires the tracking device into the van.
Then he pretends to blow up the van.
That one little bit.
He didn't know he wasn't going to get the van.
But he...
Why shoot a tracking device?
Also, it goes to...
Why shoot a tracking device?
It goes to Lex Luthor's building.
He could have probably figured that out anyway. Lex Luthor has a lot of buildings,
okay? I will defend
Batfleck and nothing else about this movie.
Also, this is something
that I only just realised today when I saw another part,
like I saw part of it again.
The whole, like, white
Portuguese thing
is...
Long and boring.
They never explain the start part
they just start saying it
and then
you're right
I forgot that
Batman's like
it's a boat
it's a dirty bomb
no it's a boat
but also
no cause he's like
it's a dirt
the white Portuguese
will lead to a dirty bomb
but then like
where just
as the audience
like what
what
excuse me
that's why Batman's
fucking in that building in the first place but it never explains before that it's just like that's what excuse me that's why batman's fucking in that building in the first place but
it never explains before that it's just like that's what he's up to that's what he's doing
i know he was searching what um human traffickers because they were related to yeah okay okay but
then why was he searching human traffickers question in the fight like the mandingo fight
yeah yeah i love that mandingo fight i was like like, all right, Batflex. And then Batflex gives a smile to his winning Mandingo.
Is that Batman's Mandingo?
Did they have a deal?
Does he own him?
There was like that nod implied a whole mess of knowledge.
He rules it.
What was he saying?
When he nods at him, like the guy wins the fight,
nods at Batman,
is Batman like, you have to win this fight?
He's like, all right, this one I'll win. I'll win. Not at the end after he's won.
So is it like, thank you for grabbing me
when I fell over?
Nah, because the man recognizes him.
But I don't know why that gives him superpowers
to win the fight when he's already losing.
I do like the idea that
Batfleck owns Mandingo's.
Yeah, he goes to Mandingo. He knew where to go.
I like that in this version of Gotham there are Mandingo fights.
That's pretty good
Also
Gotham and Metropolis are on opposite sides
Of the same bay
And that is the most fucking retarded
When we get to stuff that doesn't make sense
You don't build cities that way
That would be the one city
It's just like Melbourne and Frankston
Yeah but that's still
More like New Jersey and New York I think It's the worst city. No, it's just like Melbourne and Frankston. Yeah, but that's still... Or like New Jersey and New York, I think.
It's the worst.
But those are...
I'm not defending it.
Anyway.
I'll get to it in time.
Actually, that's probably what they're basing it off.
Gotham would be Jersey.
But Gotham is a big city,
and Metropolis is a big city.
Are you telling me that there's no point where they meet?
Are you telling me for some reason they weren't like...
So fucking pilgrims land on one side of the bay, and they're like, we'll build here. Pilgrims land on't like... Look at Pilgrim's Land on one side
of the bay and they're like, we'll build here.
Pilgrim's Land on the other. Look at Frankston and look at Melbourne.
Frankston is not the size
of Melbourne.
If Franger was like
Melbourne.
If Franger was like another
mini Melbourne, then yeah.
But that's not how cities...
But wait a minute, Pilgrims did do that. There's New York
and New Jersey, you dumbass.
Yeah, but...
Ah, fine.
All right, things we hated.
What's the thing?
I hated that Batman needs to have a workout montage
when he wears a power suit.
What's that about?
No, that made sense.
That was so he could wear the power suit.
Also, I loved it.
Because the power suit's fucking heavy.
No, they didn't.
I just used my mind. Also, the power suit's heavy as shit, it. Because the power suit's fucking heavy. No, they didn't. I just used my mind.
Also, the power suit's heavy as shit
so he's got to work out. That's why he was lifting
heavy things.
The heavy thing. He lifted a tire.
But when he steps, you can see that
it's an effort. That's why he was working out.
That fucking training scene
reminded me so much of my other favorite
montage of in Top Gun where they play volleyball. It was real homoerotic. I loved it. That fucking training scene reminded me so much of my other favourite montage
of in Top Gun where they play volleyball.
It was real homoerotic.
I loved it.
It was good.
It was great.
I fucking loved it.
Chucking some fucking dick hovering moments where the camera's like,
I'm going to stay on the cock for a bit.
Jackson Bailey goes into movies with a little list of crotch moments.
How many hog shots?
Zack Schneider knows how to shoot men good.
You fucking guys. I'm like, all alright, let's do bits you like.
Then you just start being like, that was dumb, that was
dumb. Then we're like, okay, bits you hate. You're like,
how good was this bit?
Okay, bit I hate. I'm just trying to
like something I hated. Bit you hated the most.
I just specifically bit that made you the most angry.
I don't think it made me angry.
It just made me love the movie more.
Like it just
Everything
Like everything
Every moment of the film was both brilliant and trash
Again
Straight away with Batman
Or young Bruce Wayne floating up a well
I'm like here we are
Immediately
We started at 100
We were never at one.
We didn't get a chance.
I hated the fucking nonsense structure of that movie.
Like, can we pick one time and follow that line?
Oh, I love that it was like, you have 60 minutes to do something, right?
And then it goes to Martha Kent, and already 20 minutes are gone.
You're like, oh.
You're like, oh, okay.
That was a long conversation
Lex and Supes had
true
what did I hate
what did I hate
just shoehorning
Doomsday into it
I hate the fact
it's called
Batman v Superman
there's no real
Batman-ing v Superman-ing
no
I hate not
Batman v Superman
is a stupid name
but putting
Dawn of Justice
at the end
is stupid
also stupid
I did not like
the cameos
because it was just so forced.
And the cameos weren't even like
you could make them kind of interesting.
I also like with the cameos
so they're files on Lex's computer
and each one has the symbol of that superhero.
They sure do.
Which means that Lex or somebody in Lex's company
had to design the symbol for those superheroes.
Not just design the symbol, name them
Wonder Woman, we're assuming Wonder Woman
might already have a name
Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg
don't
Cyborg's a dumb name though
Cyborg and Aquaman are kind of
self explanatory though
if I was a lazy intern
and someone was like name these two things
I'd be like
Cyborg and fucking I love that this version of Lex Luthor is like gave if I was a lazy intern and someone was like name these two things I'd be like cyborg
and fucking
I love it this version of Lex Luthor is like fuck I gotta
name them this is top secret
information but again what's doucher and accounting
doucher check your email
alright
name these people
oh that man's a bit robot
that's a cyborg I guess
cyborg and he's like water lad nah he's a bit robot. That's a cyborg, I guess. Cyborg, good. Cyborg, and he's like, water lad.
No, he's a man.
Can we make it sound fast?
Something that you'd want to drink if it was a bottle.
Aquaman.
And I've named the fast guy The Flash.
Yeah, good.
The bit I hated,
just Wonder Woman's interaction as,
did they actually give her a full name in this?
They gave her a last name.
Prince. No, they didn't say name. They didn't say Diana.
I hated her interaction with Bruce
in the party scene. That was weird.
I just want to know
what was her plan? If she didn't know
Bruce Wayne was going to be there,
was she going to go in there and steal?
What happens is Bruce Wayne goes
gets the Palm Pilot
and chuffs off for a bit,
then comes back to Gary's Palm Pilot.
It's no longer there.
Wonder Woman's done took it.
Because Wonder Woman's looking for a photo.
Does it mean that Wonder Woman was also there?
And after Bruce is gone, she's walked in with her Palm Pilot and been like,
I'm just going to have to attach it to the...
Oh!
Somebody started for me.
That's real neat.
Half the job's done.
Yoink.
Off I go.
I don't know.
I don't know what Wonder Woman was doing at that party.
Was she invited? Yeah. If she was
invited. Why was she invited to the other party
that she met Bruce at?
I hated...
How little
anyone gives a shit about secret entities.
Like Marvel. Because again,
you compare Marvel to DC, this is what's happening.
Marvel like, fuck secret entities.
We don't need them. Whatever. Iron Man, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, we don't give a shit.. Marvel, like, fuck secretaries. We don't need them. Whatever.
Iron Man, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Captain America.
We don't give a shit.
Everyone knows.
Whereas DC are like, no, we need to be different.
So we're going to keep secretaries.
But they don't.
Lois Lane knows who Superman is.
Yeah.
It's implied that Perry knows.
It's implied that Perry knows.
Lex Luthor has to know that Batman is... Lex Luthor fucking knows everyone.
Yeah.
Because it's that moment where he's about to...
Batman's about to just
finally kill Superman
and Lois Lane just rocks up
and Batman's got like half a face off
so we clearly see that it's Bruce Wayne
there's just not one moment where Lois Lane's like
ah I know
what I don't understand is
when like Batman
crashes into Superman in his car
Superman takes the thing off.
He obviously doesn't want to kill Batman.
He just wants to make him back down.
Why not just be like, you know, grab him,
take him fucking to a police station or something
and be like, yo, it's Batman.
I got the guy.
It's Bruce Wayne.
That's going to fuck him over for quite a lot and quite a bit.
Doesn't that just get rid of your problem?
Hey, fuck you, alright?
Stay out of my puff.
That's what he did.
Chest bump, spat man.
I hated that scene where it was
if they shine the light on,
you better not go or I'll smack you one.
It's like, they've never shone the light yet.
We don't know what this light is.
What are you talking about?
If you had no knowledge knowledge I'm a fucking idiot
I never made the connection between that
And the fact I was like
Why does Batman fucking turn on the light and then stand next to it
Are you summoning me
No because he's like come fight me
Which is super funny that Batman turns on the bat signal
To summon Superman
I just want to know if you were not a comic book fan
How much of this movie
would have made any sense?
No sense, thank you.
That's what you're wrong. And this comes into my experience
that I had today. Also, side note,
I just got hit with the biggest fucking wave of tiredness.
So if you just hear little sleeps in the background,
sorry.
What is the sound of a sleep?
Zed, Zed, Zed.
What's your one um
yeah no
everyone
like people that don't seem
to be that familiar
with comic books love it
because they're like
ooh it's dark
really
it's punch on central
that'd be very confusing
for them
yeah but
when people get confused
and it's popular
they're just like
nah I love it
yeah that's what I mean
because like
like fucking
when inception came out
everyone was like
it's my favorite movie ever
because of the twist ending
there's no twist ending
in Inception
what a twist ending
it's end
it's also
there's no confusion
the movie explains everything
the movie's fairly succinct
very straightforward
in fact Inception
take like
hold your hand
through the whole movie
it's like hey
it's a dream
and now it's a dream
within a dream
and now it's a dream
within a dream
this is how it goes
makes sense
there's not a lot of
technical explanation
anyway
so yeah
everyone that I
saw come out of it
like people
the people I spoke to
were like yeah
they're good
and I was like
really
yeah okay
every time I think
about this movie
it makes a little bit
less sense to me
did you know that
Batman is faster
than fire
according to this movie
what
oh he is too
do you remember
at the end
where that chick
Martha sorry Superman's mug is being held at flamethrower point according to this movie. What? Do you remember at the end where that chick, Martha, sorry,
Superman's mom,
is being held at flamethrower point
by that guy
and he says,
don't come any closer or I'll toast her.
Batman's like,
yeah, I believe you.
Batman is a lot further away from Martha.
Batman basically has to run
to where fucking...
No, no no no
he shoots him
yeah
but then there's
the explosion of fire
yeah
Batman somehow
gets on top of Martha
before it explodes
also Batman fireproof
which is super good
yeah that's just neat
that's a neat little thing
sure yeah
deal
he runs past
pretty much
he runs past
the fire
and then keeps going.
So he's on.
What?
You know what?
What?
Wonder Woman stops Doomsday's blast with a shield, right?
Her legs are exposed.
Yeah.
Her legs are exposed a lot.
That's why Wonder Woman needs pants.
What was the shield doing there?
Hands ain't going to do shit against her.
Beam.
The shield cops all the heat.
Yeah, but that's not how heat works.
Agreed. Well Well I don't know
Maybe it's not heat
Maybe lasers aren't hot
He works by popular consensus
It's a democracy
Exactly
Heat is a democracy
What else did you hate?
Other stuff I hated
I just
I can't pinpoint any
Because every moment
Was either real dumb
And I loved it
Or real dumb
And then I hated it
But then I loved it again
Like the dream sequences
I hate them
But nah they're so good Also did loved it or real dumb and then i hated it but then i loved it again like the dream sequences i hate them but now they're so good um also did anybody get like
weird mad max vibes from the dream sequences oh you were like that one at the wasteland yeah
they've been like this although i do like that now that even though it's in the future
and like the world is shit batman still wears a cow when it must be real hot and sweaty yeah
batman because he's hiding his identity for some reason from the superman not what i like like the world is shit, Batman still wears a cow when it must be real hot and sweaty. Yeah, Batman, you don't worry about it.
Because he's hiding his identity for some reason.
From the Superman Nazi.
What I like is that they keep trying to, you know,
come back on what they did, you know,
how people make fun of them in Man of Steel
for how many deaths they had.
And then they're like, oh, everything's abandoned.
No, they still have a higher cow count
because the world has been destroyed.
Yeah.
They can't get away from it.
They just can't. you're murdering people
you don't know how to do superheroes oh i did love how batman was so big like he was towering above
every like he looked meaty and big but i hated that wonder woman was so small because she's like
six foot seven in the comics and imposing in this she's like 5 foot 8 like tiny and like
oh I don't think
the thing is like
I'm pretty sure
the actress that plays her
Gal Gadot
again like
I've just still got
an IMDB open
from when I was like
yeah she's Israeli
she's
she's nearly 6 foot
she's like 5
she's 5'10
so she'd be like
your
I guess that's
she's tall for a lady
yeah I guess
yeah but Wonder Woman is tall for a human yeah she's supposed to be like your She's tall for a lady Yeah I guess Wonder Woman is tall for a human
She's supposed to be like a warrior
If you wanted to step on a box
Every time she was interacting with someone else
I wanted someone other than Gal Gadot
Please
Speaking of Gal Gadot
I hate the fact that Russian mobs
It could be Gal Gadot by the way
Not Gal Gadot
It sounds like a camelot, by the way. Hang on. No, Gal Gadot.
Because it sounds like a camelot.
He's not a mobster, though. He's a mercenary.
I like calling him Russian mobster number one.
He is funny, though.
He gets a lot more screen time, and I'm almost certain...
Which guy is this?
You know the guy with the lazy eye?
The Australian dude.
The one that's in the...
Underbelly.
The mercenary guy.
The Batman has to deal with...
I only call him Blue Dynamite
White Portuguese, yes
The guy he thinks is white Portuguese
The guy that we think is white Portuguese
He gets so much screen time
and he's the worst
and Gal Gadot just wanders around
Gal Gadot is worse
This is meant to be Wonder Woman's first
on-screen
debut We spend more time with Russian mobster number one than we do with Gal Gadot This is meant to be Wonder Woman's first on-screen debut,
and it's kind of like we spend more time with Russian mobster number one
than we do with Gal Gadot.
Can we talk about Wonder Woman's sick theme, which is guitar?
Oh, yes.
I did love that.
Why?
Why would Wonder Woman come on and block it with her wrist?
Excuse me?
Pardon?
I think there's just...
What else did I hate?
Flash.
These little scenes.
Is it too early?
I don't know why he was there.
Oh, it's fine.
Please, when you're introducing this, answer this.
Again, Adam, you pointed this out last night.
When you're selling, focus on making the movie you're making.
Yeah.
Not the movie you're making next.
The entire movie felt like they're, you know, trying to...
Hey, look at all the cool movies that we're going to do.
I'd like you to make the movie that I'm watching right now.
That'd be real good.
Also, yeah, it's actually,
Batman v Superman is almost like,
you know at the end of TV shows,
it's like, coming up next week,
and then just like...
Literally every 60s Batman ever.
It's Marvel Panic, the movie.
Did you ever watch Archer Vice? Yeah. In the first episode, every 60s Batman ever. It's Marvel Panic, the movie.
Did you ever watch Archer Vice?
Yeah.
In the first episode
where it just has
that long guitar,
Cheryl playing the banjo
or whatever.
Yeah.
And it just has
literally the whole season
in that.
That was this movie.
It was.
That's what this movie felt like.
It was like,
yo, Darkseid is coming.
Yeah.
That's gonna happen.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring bells.
The Flash is running around
through time, probably.
Which means Flashpoint.
Yeah, Wonder Woman, she did something 100 years ago.
We're going to find out what that is.
Don't worry.
He's Cyborg.
You'll see him.
That's got a whole bunch of stuff going on, guys.
We promise.
Oh, can we go back to quickly things I liked?
Yeah?
Yes.
Batman Brands, people.
That was so fucking awful.
I love that, though. here's things i did not
like and they seem very strange but just because there was i didn't get joy out of them either
i didn't like the batman branded people i didn't like that they were like a brand from batman's a
death sentence in prison see it should be the opposite i would have been see that was set up
to be like no no he's hunting pedophiles yeah And he brands the pedophiles. You're like, yeah, nah, fair enough.
Maybe that was the implication.
Because the only people that got branded.
No, because there was a human trafficker and then there was a...
Just a random lad.
But yeah, it would be nice if Batman had like, no, I only brand the worst of the worst.
Because again, you hear stories, if you're in prison, you're a pedophile, you get fucked on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If he was like, I'm making it,
but when he brings out the brand at the end,
I didn't think about it until he brought it out.
I was like,
Oh,
that looks fucking awful and brutal.
I just loved him.
I loved him though.
Why didn't he brand the wall?
I wanted to brand his bald fucking.
Imagine every subsequent movie
Jesse Eisenberg
has to have makeup
to put a Batman
brand on his skull
that would be
phenomenal
oh fuck
I would have loved
that
what else
I didn't
yeah I really
didn't like the branding
just cause I was like
that makes no sense
like
you gotta assume
it's like a different
what do you mean
it makes no sense
like the brand
no the brand works
just the fact
how does he heat it up
it's still
gadgets
oh no the prison thing
is silly
no that's what I mean
like the whole
like it's a death sentence
in prison
why
yeah why
everyone hates
criminals really respect Batman
did you know
oh yeah
criminals love that guy
it's pretty good
because like think about
the scene in Watchmen
where when they go to
break out Rorschach
they're like
fuck
no because when Rorschach's
in prison everyone's like fuck you Rorschach they're like fuck no because when Rorschach's in prison
everyone's like fuck you Rorschach
you're the reason we're all here
that's what should in theory be happening as well
and it's the same fucking guy
making them
also that was one thing that I didn't like
about this movie
a lot of the fight scenes reminded me
of Watchmen but worse
the fight scenes were video gamey.
Yeah, which is like what happens in Watchmen.
But in Watchmen, it feels way more brutal.
Like, not realistic, but it's like ultra violent,
which is what this sort of felt like it was trying to do.
Are you talking about the Batman fight scenes
or like the superhero fight scenes?
Because I feel they were super different.
Oh, sorry, the Batman fight scenes.
I like the Batman fight scenes,
but so many times I was like, this is just Watchmen.
It also felt like a game when he was crawling on the walls like that felt
Oh yeah, I just mean the Doomsday fight was real video game
Like the other fights whatever but the Doomsday fight was like
I did like Batman
Do you have opposite opinions?
He's chuffing off like he's about to get shot by Doomsday
I did not like the Batman v Superman fight the title fight
it was dumb
it was long
it was dumb
okay
are we finished
with things we hated
I didn't get a go
sure why not
I'm still talking about
things like
yes you did
not things I hated
skip right over me
oh okay
things you hated Jack
I'm still fucking
talking about things
I hated
things you hated
Dusha stole my turn
what's this
the structure's
falling apart
oh no
Jackson's defeat
Dusha
the civil war
dawn of Civil War
what else did you hate
yeah so I didn't
I didn't like
this Batman V Superman
fight
I thought
the way they were
fighting each other
was dumb as fuck
like
this is like
things that are just
nonsense
yeah you gotta do
things you hate
no
no I did
I hated that fight
alright
no not nonsense
no okay
this was also nonsense
parts of the fight I liked
When Batman was punching Superman in the face
And the kryptonite was slowly wearing off
That was good
And then he's like
Clanged him and Batman was like oh no
It happened
Woah
We joked about that
Like Batman punches Superman real hard
And then Superman doesn't react
And Batman's like, whoa.
But he didn't make the, whoa.
That was a fucking good part for Superman
when the punches stopped working.
Superman to be like, okay, and now can we talk?
But then Superman just continues the fight.
Superman's got rage issues, guys.
It was basically a punch in a Macca's car park.
That was a weird fight.
I know, because I like
parts of it
but then I didn't
like the stuff
where Batman's
like I'm gonna
swing you around
now
the kryptonite
also was not
defined on how
much it
this is more
stuff that doesn't
make sense
I wanted him
in that fight
when he threw him
down like the
off the edge
of the top of the
building
down the big
spiral thing
I was like
oh that's why
he planted the
fucking kryptonite thing so he's gonna land on it and he's gonna impale it he like, oh, that's why he planned the fucking kryptonite thing.
So he's going to land on it and he's going to impale it.
He's going to pull it up and he's going to leave the kryptonite.
That's super good.
Oh, no.
No, that's not it at all.
He just wanted to, like, slice his cheek, I guess.
Can we briefly talk about Batman's plan for that fight?
Is that okay?
No, that's things that don't make sense.
Hang on.
We've got to work quickly.
But they are things that I hate as well.
Pipe down young Adam.
You're doing a lot of this
and I want to do
a lot more of this.
I made a flappy mouth puppet
and then I made
a quiet puppet.
It's a thing from
Master of Disguise.
If you've seen that movie
feel free to watch
that movie again.
The Dana Carvey special. Yeah okay so if I had to pick
things I hated I kind of remember what I
fucking said I'm so tired I hated that
it was too late like it was way past my
bed time long film it didn't start
until like half an hour
past midnight
plus
there was half an hour
of like ads beforehand
that's what I'm saying
oh yeah
I ate two choc tops
in the ads
two
I ate one
what a fucking champ
and then I was like
I want another one
and then I marched down
to candy bar
and I bought a second one
fuck you're making me
want a choc top now
another viewing
I drank three quarters
of my coke in the ads and i was sad about that
i drank two uh fucking red bulls i was so fucking wrecked by the i kept trying to predict what the
ads would be about and i was never right it's like insurance ah it's sloppy can we talk about
the ads yes the kfc ad no that was a sexy ad the ad ad for some housing project or whatever going on outside Melbourne.
I'm like, ads please.
It's past midnight and I'm here for Batman v Superman.
I'm not good at planning things.
Why do you think I want to buy a house?
I didn't think after this I'm going to come out and be like, it's 4am.
But I know where I'm going.
Anything else?
Or can we have our turns yet?
you've already had your turn
I have but he hasn't
he hasn't
the things you hated
yeah
no
none of these boys have had their turn
you had your turn
I know
oh right
I thought you were saying
you guys had your turn
how tired are you?
Joel v Joel
Joel wins
Joel vs Joel
hashtag Joel v Joel
I think at the beginning of this episode,
we should have each picked a person to V,
and then at the end, we should have seen who won.
We should have V'd them good.
Yeah, no, I can't even remember what I said I hated.
I didn't like, yeah, I didn't like the prison thing,
because it's just like a real dark, gritty thing,
but it makes no sense. But not in a nonsense way, not in a fun nonsense way, where it's just like, what because it's just like a real dark gritty thing but it makes no sense.
But not in a nonsense way.
Not in a fun nonsense way
where it's just like...
And yeah, I didn't like the Batman v Superman actual fight.
I don't think that...
There is like three distinct fighting styles in the film.
The Batman style fights remind me of Watchmen.
I was like, I wish this was more intense
but I liked those.
The Batman v Superman fight, I hated.
And the Doomsday fight
was good because it's the no movie even marvel i don't think it's really captured how three people
fighting one big guy works but it did now see i dislike the doomsday fight because the doomsday
fight to me was like superman you do your thing and everyone watches superman's done his thing
wonder woman go and do your thing you can step out now Batman it's your turn
to do a fight
literally what he just said
about how they don't know
how to do 3v1
yeah pretty much
oh I did love
just how everyone
was clearly telepathic
at that fight
mind
it was real good
that they
everyone had just
assumed knowledge
everyone knew about a spear
that didn't get discussed
that was super great
Wonder Woman's like
I guess I'll just tie it down now
Lois Lane goes after the spear when they realise they need it
but no one's spoken to Lois Lane
fuck off Lois Lane
you're the only non super
powered character that's important in the movie
and you keep doing the dangerous shit
and when Lois is like trying to get it
or when she's
drowning yeah I'm like
oh good and this is what Batman's going to do because he obviously can't participate in that fight.
But then Superman comes in and helps.
I'm like, Batman, why are you participating in that fight?
You know you can't do anything.
Batman, but he doesn't.
He just watches for heaps.
Then he, like, dodges a couple blows.
Then shoots a kryptonite something.
Gas grenade.
I like that when Lois Lane finds the spear, she's not like, I'm going to hold on to this
because clearly this is important. She's like
I'll lake. Bye.
I'll give it to Aquaman.
Oh, what if
Aquaman had come out at that point?
Just burst out of the mains
with the spear.
Things you hated time now.
Okay, that movie got one quip
That movie
Had one quip in it
And it was the hot steamy shit
On Wonder Woman
It wasted it's one quip
What was it's quip?
When Wonder Woman turns up and Superman's like
Is she with you?
And Batman's like oh she was with you
That's the only quip
No there's one more quip
It's also real bad
In the toilets when
Wonder Woman, Lois Lane's like
Hey, I'm in the toilet, look at my bullet
And then he's like
You've got real big balls
to be in here
I guess that's why you're in here
Actually, there's a third quip
And I wouldn't even say that toilet one is a quip
It's just like a weirdly delivered line I reckon that's why you're in here. Actually, there's a third quip. And I wouldn't even say that toilet one is a quip. That's just like a weirdly delivered line.
I reckon that was a rehearsal shot.
Yeah.
That was a rehearsal shot.
There's another quip, which is when Batman saves Martha Kent.
And Martha Kent's like, he's like, I'm a friend of your son's.
Which, why would you be saying that?
Like, why would that be on your mind?
Why would any quip be on your mind?
They had one quip.
And they was like, I guess
because of the cape.
Two quips. Also,
you're not friends with him. You're just trying to kill him.
I do like the idea of it going, oh, by the way,
here's a plot spoiler.
Both their mothers
are Martha. That plays a real big
role. That's super important.
Can we say that out loud? An important plot point
is both of their parents
are named Martha
let's all take a moment
oh fuck
that's what I hated
I just remembered
this is Batman vs Superman fight
spotlight off Jack
and back to the
have you listened to an episode
of Batman vs Superman
we've all been talking
over each other
it's fine
I'm not complaining
the reason that the
Batman vs Superman fight
starts is dumb as fuck
oh it's so dumb
The reason it ends
Is dumber
Did this whole film
Come about
Just say Martha
Because again
I'm not a huge DC fanboy
But the thing is like
In my head
I'm like oh yeah
Martha Kent
And oh yeah
Martha Wayne
But I've never put
The two and two together
That they're named Martha
Did this whole fucking film come out of people going like
oh
they're the same
what if they fought over that
or that stopped them fighting
so if Superman's mum's name was Barbara
Superman would be
oh wait no he dies anyway
the movie would have been the same
no but Barbara would have died
yeah that's true
what else did I hate about this movie
like I said they ruined Wonder Woman they had a potential to be fun The Tower of the Barber would have died. Yeah, that's true. What else did I hate about this movie?
Like I said, they ruined Wonder Woman.
They had a potential to be fun,
and they just fucked it right in the ass.
Why can't they get it right?
Why?
Why?
Wonder Woman's easy.
You basically take Xena, Warrior Princess,
and you put her in downtown Manhattan and make her fight like a Hydra.
There you go.
That's it.
A Hydra's crushing cause,
Wonder Woman throws a spear into its neck,
kills it like a warrior.
It's easy.
Super good.
Wonder Woman's simple as fuck. Make her a fucking
demigod. I don't know why people struggle with Wonder Woman.
She's easy, but you fucked her.
Again, that hot, steamy shit
right in her chest.
Superman, his characterization
just varied wildly.
Sometimes he's like a simple farm.
Even though Clark Kent has grown up
on a farm with good Christian values,
he doesn't act like a human. And with good Christian values, he, he,
he doesn't act like a human,
right?
Like,
and the good of Superman surely is that he's like more human than human
because he was raised by the Kents and like,
yeah,
got a magic farm upbringing.
But for some reason he's just like angry all the time,
full of angst.
Like,
I didn't understand what kind of a guy Superman was meant to be.
Batman.
I get that.
Yeah,
I understand. but who the fuck
was Superman like does anyone
know like describe
Superman's character
what is he no because he also
bounces wildly it's like that
speech that Martha Kent gave him actually
hit home way too hard he's like
she's like be the symbol of hope
and justice and all good
or don't because fuck humans and he's like what if the symbol of hope and justice and all good. Or don't, because fuck humans.
And he's like, what if I do both?
Ah, see.
No, but like actually, you know.
Because like stuff like when, like he goes to the court case,
when he saves all those people,
what like the Day of the Dead festival,
where he fucks off to Mexico to bloody save the kid very quickly.
But like, you know that there's that
classic Plinkett review of episode
one of Star Wars and in it he's like
describe Anakin without
describing what he does or how he dresses
he describes Superman
without describing what he does or how he dresses
he is
he's
good but also not
really because he kills a lot of terrorists so you couldn't really say he's Because he kills a lot of terrorists
So you couldn't really say he's good
He kills a lot of people just in his fight
That's also true
But like
You kind of can't
Yeah
And that's not good
That's not good
Superman is a bad character by default though
No but he
He doesn't have to be
Is he courageous?
Not really
He should be
Is he brave?
No
Because even Batman's like You're not brave Humans are brave Fuck you That's true He doesn't have to be. Is he courageous? Not really. He should be. Is he brave? No.
Because even Batman's like, you're not brave.
Humans are brave.
Fuck you.
That's true.
Is he nothing?
What's the three things Batman stands for?
What is it? Truth, justice, and the American way.
Yeah.
Let's try and apply those.
Is he honest?
Yes.
I suppose.
Does he ever lie?
Who?
Superman.
No, he hides from the press, though.
Yeah, that's true.
Justice?
Is he about the...
He goes in for, you know, when they're like...
He saves the day of the day.
Yeah, when they call him in for a hearing, he comes in.
Actually, that's a good point.
Yeah, he's all right with Justice.
We'll give him Justice.
The American way.
That's hard to define.
White picket fence.
In an apartment.
No.
Failed that one Superman
2.5 children
Not a single one
What else did I hate?
I kind of hated Doomsday
Because it
Was like
It looked like a ninja turtle
Going wrong
Not even just like visually
Like as a plot device
It was sort of stupid
I like that your main
Have your main bad guy
Introduced in the last
10 minutes Exactly Which means that clearly He's not a main bad guy he's just like
fight fodder yeah basically he was just there to be like look how sick they are that oh yeah
fuck you're right he's just there because we can't have three three people punch lex in the face no
so they've got to have like a big thing for everyone to fight and you get to see oh look
he's batman using his batman skills to get doomsday he's wonder woman we get to see how she
fights and superman fights really boringly but whatever you can watch it that's ties in with And you get to see, oh, look, here's Batman using his Batman skills to get Doomsday. Here's Wonder Woman. We get to see how she fights.
And Superman fights really boringly, but whatever.
You can watch it.
It ties in with some of the things I hate. I didn't like Doomsday because he has no motivation.
He's just destroy, destroy, destroy.
That's a dumb end villain, especially to fucking throw at us ten minutes in.
Yeah.
Oh, I just remembered something I liked.
Superman took Doom's day to space.
That was good.
That was good.
He did briefly take him to space.
Sleepy looking face on your head right now.
Do you want a nap?
Just wrap it up, guys.
Fuck the main segment.
Anything else you hated?
I hated that it was apparently
take your daughter to work day when
Superman and Zod fought each other because
Batman finds that little girl
in downtown metropolis
on her own and he's like
where's your mum and dad and she points to the
building. What happened there?
Was the mum like I stand on the street
why? I just do it. I got a feeling.
Did Superman hit that building and she got popped? I don't. What the fuck the mom like I stand on the street why I just just do it I got a feeling did Superman
hit that building
and she got popped
I don't
what the fuck
take your daughter
to work day
I don't understand
also
why
why do they wait
for Batman
for Ben Affleck
to call up
and be like
evacuate the building
up until then
were they like
we shouldn't leave
why is it that guy
who is clearly
just like a
like a
does he call him dad who does he what does he call him I think he was calling him dad I thought then were they like we should why is it that guy who is clearly just like a work like an like a
what does he call him dad who does it what does he call him i think he was calling him dad i thought
i knew jack is calling him jack but i heard dad but why is it jack's job why is there not because
like and hey i don't live in a fancy office building but i feel like that's somebody's
like as soon as earthquakes start happening security guards should be like evacuation
not like hey jack yeah i know you like normally do it counts but do you think you could just get As soon as earthquakes start happening, security guards should be like, evacuation, ladies and gentlemen. Not like, hey, Jack.
Yeah, I know you normally do accounts, but you could just get it for another building.
Are people still working?
Looks like it.
Guys, leave.
Wait, there's a Superman fight.
Does that have any self-preservation?
At the end of the movie, they're like, what's his name?
The Daily Planet's...
Perry White
Is in the printing room
Taking out newspapers
Where's that? Because that's not in Metropolis
That's a good point
Daily Planet's been destroyed again
Ladies and gentlemen
In two years
The Daily Planet has been knocked down twice. I love Perry
White's look when he looks at the paper that
he approved. Yeah. He picks it up and he's like
you approved that.
That was your decision.
He picks up and looks sad but he's like you know.
Because that sports
thing didn't get written.
Fucking hell.
How many times before you just give
up building Daily Planet? How many times did Met just give up Building daily planet
How many times in Metropolis you give up on
I'd be done
Darkseed will definitely destroy it
See what they should have done
Is just go to all of the cities no one cares about
Just have it like oh we're going down a coast city
It is Darkseed
It's Darkseed
I said Darkside but I'm assuming it's Darkseed
I don't know
I could be wrong Because it's darkseed. I don't know.
I do not know. I could be wrong.
Because it's spelled tweedus.
Tweedus, your pronunciation of darkseed or darkside.
Tweedus, your pronunciation of darkseed or darkside.
Pronunciation?
Tweedus, your pronunciation of darkside.
Spell it with double E-D if it's seed.
Spell it with...
S-I-D-E if it's side.
S-I-D-E if it's side.
Spell dark whoever you want.
The ending was real stupid
I don't know if I hated
What? No
The ending was the best bit
I hated the ending
Him dying
Him dying was stupid
The funeral, I liked Clark Kent's funeral
I thought that was kind of awesome
That they gave him this country ass funeral
My question with that funeral is So there's two funerals, one for Superman, one for Clark Kent.
So that would mean, so they've killed fucking apocalypse, not apocalypse, doomsday, sorry.
It's Wonder Woman, Batman, Lois Lane, standing around Superman's body.
Batman, Lois Lane, standing around Superman's body,
and they're like, Lois Lane, you take the... I guess, you know, Lois Lane,
maybe you help us get the body back to Martha, whatever.
How does everyone know Superman's dead?
There's no body.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Who's telling the press?
I guess Lois Lane is the press.
No, wait, I answered my own question.
But I hate that they're like,
it's like Batman and Wonder Woman
looking over the grave
and Batman's like,
I guess we should do a Justice League
and Wonder Woman's like,
yeah, probs.
I did like the imagery
of the black coffin
and the silver S.
That was nice.
It's almost like it's his suit
in the fucking
Death and Return of Superman.
Damn right.
This episode's gonna be
the Death and Return of Joel Dusha.
Because why?
Are you gonna die?
Henry Cavill with a mullet
amuses me greatly. The bloody Dusha Henry Cavill with a mullet amuses me
the bloody
Dushopolis kid
god damn
I was trying
on the car ride home last night
Metropolis Kid, Steel, Cyborg Superman
and Robot Superman
what are their names?
Eradicator, Cyborg Superman, Metropolis Kid and Steel
I was wrong I said superboy and
man of steel and then i was like uh well he comes man wrong superboy and i think steel they call
him man of steel probably probably i also was like maybe one's lost on a crypto that would be
funny if they did i hope they do though i kind of really hope they really do they weren't there's
an old like SNES game
like a death and life
like death and the
throne of superman
and you get to play
as them all
oh that's awesome
yeah that game rules
that's a fucking
great game
um no they're gonna
use a justice league
like they'll use
the Avengers
no
they're gonna use
the they'll use
Avengers 2 age of old
yeah
like
Dusha sniffled his nose
then Jackson when you
were talking to him
you sniffled your nose and I thought are you doing a bit are you trying to copy Dusha sniffled his nose Then Jackson When you were talking to him You sniffled your nose
And I thought
Are you doing a bit
Are you trying to copy Dusha
Are we communicating
With nose
I thought he was trying
To imitate you or something
I didn't understand
What's going on
Nah
I think they'll use
The Justice League members
To be like
Everyone's gonna be
Trying to replace Superman
That's such a boring plot
Okay
Stuff that made
No sense We've arrived We got there An hour into it We're here That's such a boring plot Stuff that made no sense
We've arrived
We got there
We're here
Stuff that didn't make sense
One, why was that daughter outside?
Bring your daughter to work
Two, why did a movie open with a flashback
Within a flashback that turned out to be a dream sequence
It was important to the story
Three, ghost horse
Fog horse Fog horse leghorn sequence it was important to the story probably uh three ghost horse fog horse
i say
there's dream sequences i go on is because like in in in the mad max dream sequence we have the
whole amiga symbol in the desert right so it's dark sea dark side and i think those little
winged creatures are also
him they're from crypt they're krypton aliens no they're from acropolis wherever it's called
so acropolis now the classic australian t australian tv show i think yeah effy effy
maybe references that not even i understand so, is this a dream sequence?
I know before this we were like,
hang on.
So why does Lex Corp have the kryptonite then? This movie's setting up an alternate dimension.
This whole movie.
But I don't think how...
No.
I get it.
Because Lois Lane is the key.
Yeah.
There's that.
There's fucking the fact that
Lex knows about Darkseid.
Is Justice League 1 going to be
the alternate future?
And Justice League Part 2
is going to be them fixing it?
Oh, wait, I know what they're doing.
They're doing the end of the Justice League cartoon.
The end of the Justice League cartoon
is that an evil Justice League happens.
Yeah, no, that's actually what's happening
because in that,
Superman has Superman Nazis.
A good Justice League are going to fight an evil Justice League
And that's the best
I'm so on board
Nah I'm in
Oh no yeah and Superman just kills those guys
Yeah
You're probably right
And also
What's the lass who owns the
Suicide Squad
Harley Quinn Amanda Waller Also, what's the last who owns the Suicide Squad?
Harley Quinn.
No, Amanda Waller.
She is the one who, because of that,
starts a program to eradicate... So, like, Suicide Squad is going to tie...
Oh, that's the best.
Evil Superman.
Ultraman.
That's what he's called.
And it's going to be a split universe.
It's probably going to fucking happen because Darkseid's like, what if fuck you?
Exactly.
Oh, actually, if this happens, ballsy.
Also, because...
That's a lot of bullshit to swallow.
My question, though, is, yes, it's an alternate future.
We got to get that ultimately.
Whatever, whatever, whatever.
Why is it a dream sequence?
Well, he wakes up twice in that dream sequence as well. I get that ultimately whatever whatever whatever why is it a dream sequence well what is what happens twice i get i get that flash can like run super fast so fast time is like
wait what i get okay i get that i get it i get it i get it he's so fast he's so fast
where did the flash go i can't see him he was gone in the. He was gone in the flash of an eye. In the flash of an eye?
Running so fast that he can run into a dream?
Yeah.
Have you not heard Empire of the Sun's hit song, Walking on a Dream?
It's just running on a dream.
I've heard of Smash Mouth's hit song, Walking on the Sun.
What I'm assuming is that the Flash has gone so fast
he's going through time,
and also he's gotten someone magic
and he's sending visions, probably.
Sending the visions.
Sending the visions from Marvel's The Avengers.
You could have explained...
See, that's a way to end the film,
you know, to explain a little bit more of this.
You certainly don't have the Flash
electrify himself into Batman's office, yell
some nonsense at him and then disappear
a quarter of the way into the film
and then never ever mention it again
because that's like, imagine if
halfway through Iron Man 2
Iron Man's in his
little Iron Man office, the wall
becomes all damp and swampy
man thing pokes his head out and he's like
and then disappears again and you'd be like, whatokes his head out and is like, oh!
and then disappears again and be like it'd be fucking Ultron popping through
or the vision popping through being like
Ultron, it's Ultron
I guess I'm too early
I don't know what that was
that's an odd thing to set up
Lois Lane, like
you're gonna get a split reality
Lois is gonna die
one and be alive in the other.
I'm saying it's fine.
Imagine.
I'm just saying it made no sense in this fucking film.
This is bullshit as and will never happen.
Imagine if Justice League Part 1 is this reality
and Justice League Part 2 is alternate reality.
That's what I'm saying.
But, like, simultaneous.
Here's an amazing idea, though.
You have to watch them at the same time.
It's literally beat for beat, the exact same thing,
just one everyone's got to go to and one everyone doesn't.
Well, here's what I was thinking.
So we're talking about how bullshit this one is,
because Superman, like, okay, so the plot of that end,
where good Justice League and bad Justice League fight,
is that the bad Justice League come in,
and the bad Justice League have, like, we have power,
so we're going to use that power, right? Like more powerful than nicha zubin you know like i'm
i'm better than you so i'm stronger than you so i'm better than you what if the movie we're watching
is evil justice league and then when they do the open dimension it's not like oh no an evil
superman i've got to fight it's like the truth justice and american way superman comes through and he's like sorry what are you doing justice and american no no but this
would be like a full-on and like this batman country he's like i don't use guns you don't
use guns wouldn't that be amazing that would be like the justice league we want fights the justice
league we have that would be that would be that's what I hope for. Okay, other bullshit that didn't make sense.
Lex Luthor's plan.
All of it?
Batman's plan.
Superman's plan.
No plan in that movie.
Wonder Woman's plan.
Yeah, okay.
Did Wonder Woman have a plan?
We'll go through each plan.
Wonder Woman was just there.
We'll start with Lex's plan,
because Adam makes a very good point
towards the end of Lex's plan.
So first off,
why does Lex hate Superman?
Because it's mentioned... His dad beat hate Superman His dad beat him
And if there's a god he can't be all knowing
Or all good
That just seems like such a jump
No and yeah yeah
So he's like I need to prove that you are not all good
It seems like everybody's aim in this movie
Is to make Superman hurt a bit
That's what everyone kind of wants
But like have a cry
Not like hurt hurt. Not like die.
Just like he just wants to prove he's like
Lex wants to kill him. Why else make Doomsday?
And also
he was like sending Batman
to kill fucking Superman. That was his
plan. Because Batman
Lex knows that Batman has the kryptonite
at this point. He said he wanted
he wanted Batman to steal it.
Why not just leave it to him? That was the whole point. When said he wanted. He wanted Batman to steal it. Why not? Why not just leave it to him?
That was the whole point.
But that means that...
Yeah.
When does he say that?
Because that's...
He's all fucking happy
when Batman got it.
He's like, yes.
But then why was he
sending those letters?
No, isn't he thinking?
He wants Batman to attack him.
I know, but like...
Oh, yeah.
Why does...
Okay.
Why do they blow up
the court building?
Because he wants Batman to...
He wants Batman to be like Superman's danger.
But it would be different if Superman got angry and then blew up.
No, it's because Wally was like, this is a person I liked, and Superman drove him to do this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
This has heaps of Watchmen parallels the more I think about it.
Yeah.
It really does.
Like, Superman's story arc in this is very Doctor Manhattan,
except it just goes the opposite way,
rather than, like, Doctor Manhattan being like,
no, you're right, I have no humanity left.
Superman's like, no, I'm a human, I promise.
I'm a real boy.
Because, like, that office blowing up is similar to the...
Super Nokia.
When he goes to
when he's on the TV
and they're just like
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
and yeah
the cancer thing
is like the terrorist thing
I really like that senator
she was a good character
senator finch
yeah
she was great
she was underused
piss in a granny's
granny's peach tea
why
piss in a jar and call it granny's peach tea piss in a jar
and call it
granny's peach tea
why did she see that
and go oh a bomb
yeah what
what an odd connection
but I think
she sees it
and then she sees
that he's missing
and she's like
oh he's playing something
she doesn't know
it's a bomb
otherwise she'd yell
bomb
like come on
I like that Superman
I love that scene though
where Superman
everything's fine Superman's like dang that's like oh dumb man superman looks this henry cavill plays a good
i'm superman i'm doing the right thing and a sad superman but he does not play an angry superman
well no that whenever they wanted to show super, they'd just make his eyes get real hot. And also make
his hair real wet. Yeah.
My eyes get real hot when I'm sad and mad.
That's true. Hot with tears.
Yes.
So, yeah, so like Luthor's plan, I mean, so he's like,
okay, he's got several of them,
but one, if say, alright, I'm gonna send
Superman to kill Batman.
No, I, no, okay.
So, let's just say, what happens if Superman had killed Batman? What does okay. We need to go back.
What happens if Superman had to kill Batman?
What does he do?
I don't know.
Oh, oh.
Sorry.
Yeah, so.
Adam loves his own joke.
I fucking know.
So he's like, bring me his head.
Superman wins.
Brings him his head, yeah?
And Lex Luthor's like, hey, everyone, look, Superman's not that great.
I have Bruce Wayne's head to prove it.
And people are like, what, Lex Luthor?
Excuse me?
What?
That's a crime you just did.
First off, unless he had proof, maybe he has proof.
Let's say he doesn't.
Yeah.
They're like, you killed Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor.
Superman, like, no matter what we say is all right.
Why would he do that?
Maybe he has proof.
Even if he does have proof, people are like, you still committed a crime.
You still have that.
He commits so much crime, Lex Luthor.
Also, the other plan
which was he was wanting
that Superman to die
with uh
if Bruce Wayne killed him
and then he's like
sweet
you killed Superman
but I'm still building
a Doomsday
yeah
so what's that about
because the Doomsday
like I just don't understand
like I get
maybe you want them to fight
because you're like
now
I can see a dead Superman
like just the Doomsday thing
just has
they need to make one tiny fix
and it makes way more sense.
Because Doomsday is on a timer.
So...
Why?
So, okay, Batman wins and he's like,
Well, there's a Doomsday.
Guess I just fucked the world.
If he'd been like,
Shit, Batman 1, activate the Doomsday.
That's fine.
But it's like he...
Superman 1, shit, Superman 1, activate the Doomsday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then it's like...... Superman won. Shit, Superman won. Activate the doomsday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then it's like...
Otherwise, it just seems like he was like,
I'll cover all bases there.
Make a doomsday.
Make the bat fight the soup.
It's odd that Lex Luthor bats struggling in soup.
It's odd that Lex Luthor needs to make
such an extreme backup plan as well.
He's got everything planned out to the fact
where he knows Superman is going to turn up for that hearing.
So much.
What if Superman was like,
I don't think I actually want to.
What if he like is,
when Martha's like,
don't,
you know,
or don't be their hero.
And Superman's like,
you know what?
I don't think I will be there here.
I won't go.
That fucks his plan entirely,
doesn't it?
That completely fucks his plan.
What was that about about why'd that happen
you wouldn't have blown it out
would that guy even have
detonated the bomb
no he wouldn't have
that guy didn't detonate
the bomb
no exactly
how did the bomb
get detonated
Lex did
I'm assuming
you don't see it
but you've got to assume
I'm assuming
no because the guy
looks scared
yeah
but then you've got to be like
so wait
did Lex turn up
and be like
suicide bombers usually
look scared
no they look
brave and proud.
No, I'm assuming that Lex Luthor has...
Because they are.
I'm assuming Lex has a lot of contingency plans.
That's the only thing I can think of.
Mercy or whatever the fuck her name was, she looks stoked to be there, which is surprising.
Wait, so, because if you're saying that the guy in the wheelchair detonated it,
then how did Lex convince him?
Because Lex turns up at his house and he's like
I'll give you a fancy wheelchair for a week
and you've got to blow up a whole house
It has to be Lex
No, because he hates Superman
that's why he picks that guy
He could have gotten any guy with no legs
No, he hates Superman
because he's like
He was there simply to be there
to be like fuck Superman
Where are my legs you son of a bitch
Which is fair enough where are his legs Superman
Under his tag where are my legs
Maybe there's some krypton legs please
Superman I have no leg
And that's on you
I was going to say something
I had something to bring to the table
That's gone now
Move on done
Another thing that doesn't make. Let's go on now. Oh, well. Move on. Move on. Done. Oh, fuck.
Another thing that doesn't make sense.
Let's talk about the fight.
Okay.
Let's talk about the fight.
How it happens.
Oh, yeah.
That doesn't make sense.
The big BV soup fight.
Yep.
Batman's plan is dumb.
Hit him with sound.
Okay.
Not just Batman's plan is dumb.
Superman being like, oh, you got my mumsies.
Oh, no. I got to go and beat up Batman. sound okay not just batman's plan is dumb superman being like oh you got my mumsies oh no i gotta go
beat up batman rather than just like any kind of let's like hang on let's just have a quick mo
anything you say anything you're throwing at me i can just talk this out also because also
superman is invulnerable to pain and instead of fighting a batman prepared to fight him
another idea fight the guys that have your mum
he doesn't know where he's at
that's where he was
he can fucking find out where Lois Lane is all the time
surely he could just get up on top of the city
and be like where's my ma's heartbeat
sick, beat the fuck out of them
carry his mum and be like
lax your plan was real stupid
Batman's waiting by the bat signal
until dawn
Lois Lane gets pushed off the building Superman's like there was real stupid and fly away. Batman's waiting by the bat signal until dawn.
Lois Lane gets pushed off the building.
Superman's like, there. His mum is like, attacked by those people.
In an alley.
For half an hour she's there.
How does he not know that? Hang on.
In the opening scene, Lois Lane is
in Africa with a gun
to her head. I'll allow that
because Superman might have been like
she's in a dangerous place.
Here's something funny, speaking of Martha Kent
that I was chuckling to quietly.
Superman leaves.
Martha Kent's alone. She can't afford
the farm. She has to work in a cafe.
Superman is not supporting his mom.
Also, that's super funny because
Superman's like, bye mom, dad died. Martha Superman's like Bye mom dad died
I used to run a farm that used to be my sole income
But I guess I gotta find shitty work in town
As a dish pig taking out the trash
Superman comes back
He's super sad like I don't know if I should be the hero or the villain
She's like
Be whatever
Fucking hell you can send a paycheck
Back once in a while
If you wanted to Superman You could do the farm work in a day
Be the hero don't be the hero
Can you be my hero for a couple days please
Just be a good son I don't know
Be a fucking good son you son of a bitch
She's taking out the trash at the place
She should be retiring
Just like a mountain of diamonds She's taking out the trash at the place. She should be retiring. She's like...
Just like a mountain of diamonds that Superman has just plucked from the earth.
Superman could be like,
Ma, look, I got you one diamond out of the ground.
There you go.
You're set up.
But he's like, no, bye.
I want to be a journalist.
Fuck you, Superman.
Also, again, back to the fight.
Because Superman rocks up.
Bruce, I don't want to fight you.
End of sentence
Bruce
if I wanted you dead
you would be already
that's a bad way
to start a conversation
these are
they're both bad
at conflict
okay
even if it's just like
Bruce
I don't want to fight you
Lex is behind all of this
he's manipulating us
he's got my mother
done
you
you
you have to wait
until he's like...
No, because then Bruce will be like...
And like, I don't want to fight you.
Chill, bro.
If I wanted you, you could be dead.
Who cares?
Let's just be mates.
Fuck you, Dawn of Justice.
Exactly.
Or just...
Rather than...
You know, he comes down, he's walking through...
Go speak to Alfred.
That too.
But he comes down, he's walking, right?
Raise your hands.
Surrender.
You son of a bitch.
Show like non-threatening kind of...
You're a burpy boy.
Non...
He's been doing this the whole fucking like last month.
He's just burping the goddamn mic.
I used to do like the...
And now they've become burps.
I think I prefer the burps.
The burps are good.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
They're a crowd favourite.
He's walking down
and he's in a very
threatening pose.
He's not very non-threatening.
He's not his arms up.
He doesn't have his palms facing.
He's doing everything he can
to basically appear
threatening to Batman
where he's like,
clearly you shouldn't.
And the moment where he's just like,
Batman does his, you know,
sonic sound thing.
Then he does his like
machine gun things.
And then he's like, nah, nah, let's punch on. And then he just shoves him. He's like, Batman does his, you know, sonic sound thing. Then he does his, like, machine gun things. And then he's like, nah, nah, let's punch on.
And then he just shoves him.
Yeah.
Like, stop it.
Just stop it.
Think about how to act, Superman.
Don't you wish Superman's fighting style was, like, farm wrestling?
Wouldn't that be great?
What's a farm wrestling?
Like, wrestling a pig.
Like, he just grabs Superman around the waist and, like, they wrestle on the ground.
Let's talk about Wonder Woman's plan. Because I've been thinking about it she had a plan well okay no i
just mean like uh like on a grander scale so wonder woman she had a plan on a grander scale
wonder woman finds out lex luther has a photo of her from the old timey times and for some reason
she's like that's me fucked like he's like that's me done i need to get to metropolis and get this
photo that's why you never hear from Nicolas Cage anymore
Because of those photos of people that look like him
From all the photos
One woman couldn't just be like
That's not a photo of me
Or I'll get a haircut
No no no even better like
Yeah that's a photo of me I'm over 100 years old
Ha ha ha
Good one
No she's like I need to get that
Whatever get the photo
She's around for ages
Right
And clearly she knows
Lex is up to something
Because he's cat-along
The matter humans
But it's not until
She's on the plane
That she sees
Doomsday is broken out
That she's like
Ugh
Also
How fucking calm
With the passengers
Watching Doomsday
Just destroy Metropolis
Like yeah
We're gonna catch the red eye
I guess you're used to it
you're like
not the day
not the dollar
but then Wonder Woman
gets up
but like
was she just gonna
let him punch on
was she like
that'll sort it out
it's not my place
I don't know why
they're fighting
maybe they have
a good reason
I guess this is probably
the first time she's fought
since maybe 1918
I'm sure the Wonder Woman
movie will be
would it be 1906
if it's 100 years ago
no it was are you saying like why she thought it was okay to just let them duke it out
didn't she doesn't she have a line where she's like i gave up on humanity so that was the first
time she'd fought in 100 years clearly she hasn't because she's got designer dresses yeah that's
true well why does she have designer dresses i think she's participating in humanity well she's
i think he meant like she's not superhero.
Yeah.
I'd rather not get up on humanity.
I'm a hermit.
I live in Central Park.
Fuck off.
I live in a cave in a hill.
Wonder Woman, what are you doing?
Bad plan.
Is that all the plans?
No, because Batman's plan is stupid as fuck.
Because he's like,
Alfred, I'm going after the white Portuguese.
And Alfred's like, yeah.
And at first it's just like human traffickers and the worst of the worst. And then he's like, it's a dirty bomb. And he's like, no, it's a weapon. And he's like, oh, I'm going after the white Portuguese. And Alfred's like, yeah. And at first it's just like human traffickers
and the worst of the worst.
And then he's like, it's a dirty bomb.
And he's like, no, it's a weapon.
And he's like, oh, good, you want it?
And he's like, no, I want to use it for me.
And Alfred's like, don't do that.
I liked one thing that was neat.
I'm very tired.
I liked about this film.
I know.
That was a good description, chum.
Well done.
You can have a nap now.
You can sleep.
You can finally sleep.
You can sleep the eternal sleep.
Yeah, I was like, I don't even think I want to sleep anymore.
I just want to die.
I liked it.
Alfred, this version of Alfred does everything.
Like there's no Lucius Fox, clearly.
Alfred's fixing the Batmobile.
Alfred's cooking him dinner.
He's designing the voice module.
That was super good.
I also, I found it really funny when Batman returned after Superman had broken his car.
When in a previous scene, we'd seen Alfred fixing the car
Batman comes home and you're like, poor Alfred
There was another quip I forgot about
What?
And he's like, we don't take too
It's just the Gotham in me, we don't take too kindly
I felt like that was less of a quip
more of a reference
A quip has got to serve no purpose other than to be
like, unnecessary
lighthood
Could have had a lot more quips The only quip, because even, look, Batman saving Martha Kent It's got to serve no purpose other than to be like unnecessary light hood. Yeah.
We could have had a lot more quips.
The only quip, because like even, look, Batman saving Martha Kent, that's a quip.
And, oh, is she with you?
No, I thought she was with you.
We were duking it out a second ago, but let's have a fucking joke for some reason.
Gagfest.
Let's just have fucking.
Gagfest 2016.
We talk about, let's yuck it up.
How many quips there were, like meta qu Where they're like No one wants to hear about
Clark Kent
Clark Kent versus the Batman
Oh my god
I'll be like correct
There was some fucking
Shithouse references
They make that joke twice
Did they?
Yeah
I think they make it three times
Like Lex Luthor is like
Don't pick a fight with this guy
Yeah
They make that joke like
I guess maybe three times
It's another one
But I forget what it is
But yeah
Because I remember being like
ugh, and then like ugh, and then like
ugh.
Oh, he knows
who Superman is when he shakes
his hand. That's a quip.
That's a regular old quip.
That's a red hot
quip. He knew he was Superman.
And he knows Bruce is Batman.
Why not just be like, hey lads,
he called you a whore.
Trying to start a fight at the party?
I think you are...
Oh my god.
That was a pretty good impression.
Yeah, it was.
Go high-pitched insane.
You know what the difference between a god and a man is?
A man has power.
A god, knowledge.
It's like all of his things condensed into a sentence.
You know what the greatest lie you've ever been told?
Who are they trying to keep out of?
That was a joke for Jackson.
It was good.
Joss or Jackson.
And I enjoyed it.
Hardly.
Oh man, what a film. But 10 enjoyed it. A lot of late. Oh, man.
What a film.
But 10 out of 10, kind of.
What?
I think I'm seeing it again later this week.
I will tweet my response.
It will probably be like, why did I do this again?
Look, it was a trash film.
I would love, because none of us were excited for it.
I would love to get someone's reaction were excited for it where I would love
to get someone's reaction
actually
we saw it with Aaron
who is occasionally
in Shut Up A Second
and he is a big Batman fan
and he was excited for it
and then he read
some of the reviews
he was excited for the Batman stuff
yeah
just people that was like
fuck yeah
I've been waiting for this movie
for so long
especially someone
who likes comic books
see I was good
I went into this film
expecting trash
and I got so much more trash
than I was expecting
and that made me so happy
I don't know if I was
thinking this was going to be the best film ever
and I don't know
I've been looking at IMDB and looking at people's reviews
some people are like
this is the best superhero film ever
10 out of 10 better than The Dark Knight
no you're wrong
depends because one of the key aspects of comic books
is comic book bullshit and this is aspects of comic books Is comic book bullshit
And this is heavy
But this was not comic book bullshit
I was thinking this was watching it
It's like wall to wall comic book wank
Because you know when you're discussing a comic book
Somebody's discussing Superman
They talk about him like how he's kind of a god
And when you're discussing the meta aspects of Superman
That's what you talk about
But that's actually what this film is about
And that's not how comic books should work.
That should be subtext, not text.
This is my problem with Zack Snyder.
He has no subtext.
He's all fucking text.
No subtlety.
Yeah, no subtlety.
It's fucking just Watchmen.
It's just basically like, oh, no, everyone thinks he's a god.
How do I, how do I, oh, he's going to write false god on that.
That's done.
We're going to literally call him Jesus.
Like philosophical and like, I don't inherent like like philosophical and like uh like
i don't know like the the the the debate the not even a debate but like what is the discussion
about superman as a character if you're writing an essay on superman as a character or batman as
a character what would you talk about and instead of that being the subtext and the stuff that you
infer that's that's just what the film is yeah it's like oh people would stop worshiping superman as a god oh well really you should probably take down superman
it's kind of the shit we talk about sometimes yeah it's like if somebody took my mutant genocide
and actually made a movie of it you know what i mean yeah you're like you you don't need to
we get it yeah isn't that days of future past a little bit yeah but well yeah
the movie was awesome fair fair cop that on the fucking chin yeah i'll take that and it's just to
me it felt i don't know it's just zach schneider films they're all the fucking same it's just like
he has a cool idea and everyone is this assumed knowledge of everything because he has this thing
of just everyone thinks that superman is cool I'm going to do this or everyone thinks
that Batman is brutal
so I'm going to
a lot of this was just
everyone in that universe
was assuming a lot of shit
and
and it was shit
and it was shit
and he just
he can't
I don't know
he just hasn't been able
to execute
like he's visually stunning
I will give him that
he knows how to like
make a good scene
look good
and like he'll
shoot like the
Mizzen scene all that kind of stuff he'll shoot the mise-en-scene,
all that kind of stuff.
He'll set it up.
I noticed loads of shots.
Mes en scenes.
Mans en scenes.
The mans en scenes is real good.
I noticed a lot of shots, like eagle eye.
Did you notice that?
Like heaps.
Heaps of shots taken from above down on people.
It opened, there's so many of them.
And again, you can be like,
oh, he's talking about this idea of us being the gods.
Speaking of things we hated, when fucking, because we have been, about 40 minutes ago, so many of them and again you can be like oh he's talking about this idea of us being the gods or some kind of bullshit
speaking of things he hated
when fucking
because we have been
about 40 minutes ago
when Batman flies
at the end
like at the start
and then his silhouette
sort of makes
the Batman logo
mm-hmm
dumb
zero out of ten
one thing I did like
is when they had the gun
at the very opening
his mama's
Martha
Martha Wayne's pearls.
Yeah, we talked about this.
And he shot and that was cool.
That was very cool.
But no holes in the pearls.
The thing is that doesn't fit.
The pearls rotate around.
There's no hole for the little string.
Also, I was going to say,
why was there a pearl near his hand in the cave?
Also, a thing about that is...
I love Thomas Wayne being like, Roseburg. I like that he was
like, Martha, and not like, my son,
Bruce.
Martha, my wife, Bruce, whatever.
Your second best.
I'm dead now.
Bruce hasn't been shot, you insensitive prick.
I also liked that, even though
the mugger was scared,
I didn't like that Thomas Wayne tried to throw a punch.
That doesn't seem very Thomas Wayne.
That's what happens in the comics.
Does it?
Yeah.
He's not like, give me your wallet, and they do,
and then he shoots them.
He's like, give me your wallet.
Thomas Wayne is like, I won't let crime walk all over me.
That's why Batman becomes Batman.
Read a fucking book, Joel Duchesne.
I think you'll find a couple seconds later
is why Batman becomes Batman
you know when he's running away
from the funeral
he's running away from the ghosts
and he falls in a grave cabin
oh I just meant they get killed
I know
it's not like his dad's like fuck crime
and then they go home
I didn't like that the mugger looked very scared
Batman whose parents didn't
He looked really scared about shooting people
And looked like he didn't want to
But then he executed Martha Wade
And then was like
He did it quite thematically
He was like I'll kill you regularly
But hey what about this
Hook it into your pearl necklace
After you have the first one, it's super exciting.
It's like,
you don't know what you're doing.
You want to kind of experiment,
see what's out there.
It's understandable.
Um,
I,
cause I like,
I'm a DC fan boy,
more than Marvel,
you know,
but I knew this film was going to be garbage,
but I,
and I wasn't,
I was expecting another man of steel.
I was expecting it to be like so serious.
It hurts and really dull
and, like, nobody acts like a normal human being,
but it's frustrating instead of entertaining.
This film was so balls-to-the-wall wrong.
Chaos.
Like, that I loved it.
Like, I actually would watch that film again.
It didn't, like, frustrate me the way Man of Steel.
Man of Steel was like eating a piece of cold toast.
Yeah.
This was like somebody's spread
I don't fucking know
like Vegemite and Jam
Vegemite and Jam
and they're like
eat it
and you're like
this is wrong
but I'm
sure I'll do it
I'll eat this
that was dumb
good
I'll have another
exactly
yeah I would watch this again
more than I would watch
Age of Ultron
yeah same
I would watch this again
more than I would
Age of Ultron was hollow this was full it was just full of bullshit like at no point did
this feel like cheap it just was stupid yeah it's so dumb like this to me i will have i will watch
this and have a good time yeah like for the wrong reasons like not for the reasons the filmmakers
intended it's also really weird that they DC Universe Is going to be very serious
And then they gave us this
But this is kind of what's funny
It's so earnestly serious that I love it so much
It's so earnestly serious that
The filmmakers don't know this is wrong
That moment when Superman
Dives in a pool to catch something
That will hurt him
And then it hits him and he drowns
To them they were like that's real
That's poignant
to us we're like
Superman what did you think
would happen
I just love that
okay I'm gonna give you
a spear
kryptonite also is just
so fluctuating in its powers
it's just like
sometimes he can fly
sometimes he can't
fucking swim
if he's near it
it makes Superman
look like he has the flu
and that's the best
I love it
I'll give you a spear
with a tip that's like
gonna hurt the monster
that's 50 yards over there
But if you hold it it hurts you
So what do you do
By the way you have enough power to make that 50 yard throw
Well why I think I
Do you throw it because it's a
It's a spear
That seems clever
But no Superman's like I'm gonna not even run
I'm gonna for some reason fly it
Real low to the ground
And then stab it a bit
into him and then when he stabbed me stab it all the way through because that's how you kill someone
if you just stab someone with a knife they're fine you gotta push it all the way through
correct because if he threw it he might miss and then i don't know someone who
wasn't like not harmed by kryptonite could have picked it up that would have been awful a Wonder Woman or maybe even a Batman
even fucking lowest
goddamn lane
also Wonder Woman
because magic hurts Kryptonians
like she would have done it
eventually
like honestly if everybody else
had been like Wonder Woman you got this she would have been like give me
enough time and I can sort this out
20 minutes wasn't she kind of getting her ass beat a little bit no she cuts off it's hand if everybody else had been like, Wonder Woman, you got this, she would have been like, give me enough time and I can sort of sort this out.
Wasn't she kind of getting her ass beat a little bit?
No, she cuts off its hand.
And then she stabs it in the back of the leg and it's crippled.
And she gets it with the lasso.
And then it has to tell the truth.
She's like, hey, who's your crush?
Wonder Woman
did that, throw the sword at his head,
he dies
now the question I have
how did Lex Luthor know about Darkseid
ring a bell
because Kryptonians have shit security
for their computers
let's talk about how quickly
Lex Luthor learns the mysteries of the universe
in a magic pool
he peels off Zod's fingerprints and uses it to get
into the Kryptonian ship. Let's forget the fact
that our biometrics
don't get fooled by that.
It's how our Kryptonian
ones are. They're like, oh, we just scanned
the fingerprints. Doesn't matter
living or dead, whatever. He gets
in there and it's like detecting
a new thing, a new person.
The old captain's dead, would you like to assume
command? Is the answer to that ever gonna be
no?
What the fuck?
You're right, it's not like you're gonna be like, no, no, we'll just
throw the ship in the bin. No, no, no
the next person will assume
command. And then
there's the whole like, you wanna create some
kind of weird fucked up
abomination, a doomsday per se. What happened to Lex? lex goes in the pool and they're like hey we're not done
just yet okay so you i want to make some sort of abomination and the computer's like i'm sorry
that's been outlawed by the by the council or whatever the krypton high council which in the
superman universe is like the fucking not even like the government's government yeah yeah like way higher
and then uh lex luther's like they're dead i think uh what does it matter and the computer's like
yeah sure i'll do it then they're dead computer's like you got me fair you got me good fair call
that's a good loophole yeah all right now i will do this but okay so if we are this You kill someone and then their laws don't matter
That's just
That's Kryptonian law
You wanna run a town?
But the guy who made that law is dead
That's a paradox
Anyway continue I'm done with that
So Lex hops in the magic pool
The ship is like hey
Do you wanna know everything about space?
Lex is like, I would love to. How long is it going to take?
20. Takes like 20 minutes
and somehow of all that information
he picks out how to make a doomsday?
Like did they give him an index?
Or were they just like, here we go from start to finish
the universe.
It's like that scene in Fifth Element
where Leeloo, whatever her name is, is just like
absorbing everything and only gets to like the bad things on the W for war,
let alone all the terrible things.
There's a lot of porn on the internet.
She should have had to move her way through that first.
Leeloo, and this is quite an aside,
but she's not even researching properly.
It's just photos of war.
She doesn't have context for any of them.
Also, it's like the future, but all she sees is World War II.
Surely other conflicts have happened.
That's the old sci-fi
problem where no culture happens between
now and when that sci-fi
begins.
Exactly.
I just don't know
what the ship was teaching him.
He was like, of all the things I've learned,
I'll make a doomsday, which just make by mixing gross dna with a dead kryptonian i guess
kryptonian dna mixed with uh human dna makes an abomination that can't have been what it was
because they didn't know about humans so what did he actually learn like what what what sentence
because kryptonians don't know about humans because we came after they landed so what
fucking sentence did the ship tell him?
Was it, what set of, like, information do you need to get to be like,
if I cut my hand and rub it on his face, I'll get a doomsday?
That's what I'm asking.
And how do you get that in the space of 20 minutes out of the history of everything?
What did the computer tell him where he's like, I am happy to make a doomsday?
Yeah, yeah.
What did the computer tell him where he was like, this seems like the best of all possible options?
Also, the computer doesn't want him to do that,
so why is it even fucking telling him in the first place?
He's like, this is how you do it, but don't.
No, do it.
Was it kind of like he's sitting there and they're like,
and in the seven billionth year of planet Gizbon,
the Kryptonians created a doomsday.
And he's like, huh, okay, I'm listening in now.
What was that?
Can you go back?
What? For the doomsday? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No listening in now what was that can you go back what for the doomsday yeah yeah no no no what was that can you go back in the first year and were they just like put just they found the body of a dead kryptonian and then put some blood

On its face.
And then just chucked him in a pool.
And then it grew like a sack or something, and out it came, and it was real bad.
Something that the computer,
the ship can do that.
The ship does that.
The ship has the,
what is the water?
And should Lex be hopping it?
When he sits,
when he steps in it,
I'm like,
that's like a computer
or some shit.
I like the thing
where he's like,
wasn't the birthing matrix?
Probably something
to do with a birthing matrix.
And so when you mix
foreign DNA
with Kryptonian DNA,
we get abnormalities. So like, whereas in humans, you mix foreign DNA with Kryptonian DNA we get abnormalities
whereas in humans you mix foreign DNA
with our DNA that's a cause of cancer
in Kryptonians it makes a doomsday
which is a kind of cancer
the only thing I could imagine is that
cancer kills you, doomsday kills others
I mix my blood and then it won't kill me
because we're kin or something like that
I was thinking maybe it was going to happen
but it didn't really
if that was the case, also how did
that not happen to anybody else?
Did nobody else think like let's use
his hand to get in? Why did
he have to take the skin? Couldn't he have just
taken the body he had full access to?
Or cut off the hands. Maybe Lex Luthor's
just a big fan of the fly.
It's like they made that scene before they made
the scene where Lex gets the body. It's like
they're like, oh, he uses fingerprints. And I'm like, oh, how's he going to
get to the body? Oh, let's have him cut it off with
a kryptonite. And they're like, what if we just give
him a body? And it's like, well, then he can just cut off the hair.
Also, how did you go from being like
we found this weird rock thing. Let's just stab
the dead body and see what happens. I mean,
what other things happened in that experiment?
Like, what else were they doing
to Zod's body before that?
I'm imagining a soldier who's got like a grudge.
His family were killed in Metropolis being like,
get him, fuck you.
Every known element to man,
and we're just stabbing Zod with it.
Why did they give him the body and ship?
It's real convoluted.
It's because...
Because he puts like a lemon sherbet into his mouth.
Sorry, cherry sherbet.
That was a really good scene.
That was great.
I hate you guys.
I like that he licked his fingers afterwards.
I hate the things you like sometimes.
That was super good though.
Anyway, Batman v Superman, Dawn of Justice,
is a hot negative 10 out of 10.
That's a hot 20 out of 10 for me.
I came out the other side.
I'm so far out the other side.
My system of grading doesn't make sense.
I'm wrapping this episode up because not only am I falling asleep, I need to pee so bad. I came out the other side so far out the other side my system of braiding doesn't make sense
I'm wrapping this episode up because not only am I falling asleep
I need to pee so bad
and on that note
I've been Joel, I've been Jackson
and I've also been Joel, I've been Adam
please watch Man of Steel, no don't
wait, fuck
if you've started, stop
abort, abort, watch Batman
be Superman, watch it and enjoy it.
Look, if you come out of that being like,
it wasn't like the...
It was silly.
Good.
Embrace that.
Get them to make worse and worse films.
Oh, man.
Let's see if we can reach the terrible DC film singularity.
No, I want the Batman one to be good.
No.
I want them to do a Shazam film.
Let the Batman one be good, please.
No, no, no. We'll see how bad we can get. This is a lot more fun for me. Stop. I want them to do a Shazam film Let's do Batman 1 be good please No no
We'll see how bad we can get
This is a lot more fun
Stop
You're killing me
