TFR Ep. 316: Suicide Squad, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, 7 Favorite Films
Chris Scalzo
On this week’s program, Matt and Chris checked out the latest from the DC Cinematic Universe, ‘Suicide Squad’. It’s Amanda Waller along with her crew of bad guys; Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, Diablo, and others. Each more dangerous than the next. Has the ship been righted and the DC train been put on the right track? How many metaphors can we mix? The show then moves on to the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Streaming and Straight To DVD Picks of the Week. Then, our Star Trek 50th Anniversary Marathon wraps up with Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Nicholas Meyer returns to helm his Cold War allegory along with some starship battles and Kirk suaveness. Was it a fitting end to the original crew? The show then wraps with a discussion of Empire’s tweet last week asking what are your 7 Favorite Films. Now why isn’t Will Smith in hot pants…?
