Matt is getting to caption the 90s Chicago-set horror movie Candyman, live, which is really exciting. We talk about Cabrini Green in Chicago and how it was the perfect setting for conjuring a scary dude with a hook hand and bees for guts.
Lots of little comic movie news bits, and the Bivins Brothers are unimpressed by nearly all of it:
- Spider-Man is back in the MCU for two more movies, at least, and while we're excited for this, the whole drama has a manipulative "New Coke/CocaCola Classic" vibe to it.
- Evan is worried that Matt is going to be in a movie theater when the super creepy Incels turn the upcoming movie Joker into a manifesto for the cause of all sad, loney, unlovable white dudes. Matt only goes to matinees, though, so it's fine.
- The first official Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is out. The BivBros take: why are they shoe-horning Harley Quinn into a Birds of Prey movie? Why not give Harley her own movie, if she's that popular?
- And they've stopped watching Titans. Will Matt keep his DC Universe subscription? It's looking less and less likely.
Watching the Dark Crystal opened up a Pandora's box of fear for Evan, but the brothers are especially glad that there is a decided lack of CGI. Evan is an infrequent but ugly crier, and watching Jim Henson's funeral is a trigger.
Next time we'll try to be more positive and encouraging about things! Blame it on Matt's impending cold.
