PARTY PLEASER:
Guest: Nerds & Jesus Podcast & Instagram
Mary Howell, lead host of the Nerds & Jesus Podcast, joins Melvin in summarizing a formative experience in Ryan Reynold's Hollywood career, Green Lantern! This stupendously expensive cinematic-universe starter failed to meet expectations, disappointing moviegoers the world over! And now it's time for us to be disappointed!
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 41-minutes discussing "Cinematic Universe" intrigue and fatigue, as well as specifics like Marvel's current cinematic woes, the coming universe-change to DC, and a plethora of other cinematic universes (Monsterverse, Dark Universe, Conjuring-Universe, etc.). (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Mary shares about her various creative outlets, from podcasting to cosplaying.
- The pervasive criticism against Green Lantern had been its usage of CGI. From the start, Mary & Melvin have thoughts.
- Melvin observed an editing mistake, so he spends some time explaining what went wrong.
- Mary shamefully exposes her greatest sin: seeing Black Adam four times in theaters.
- Further criticizing the suit and visor.
- Green Lantern as a narrative puts the concept of "fear" entirely in the negative. Mary & Melvin talk about how fear is actually a useful tool in the emotional toolbelt.
- Melvin wishes the movie got into more weird sci-fi space stuff.
- It takes an hour and thirty-five minutes for the action to finally get started in Green Lantern. It's criminal.
