MOVIE DISCUSSION:

A few weeks ago, Daniel sent me a text on Messenger: Hey man, I like Harley Quinn. Birds of Prey looks neat. Want to do a discussion episode?\\xa0

And now, here we are, Cinematic Doctrine\\u2019s first-ever film discussion episode!\\xa0

This will be very different to the typical movie reviews, or better yet, audio essays that Cinematic Doctrine has previously offered. However, a lot of the process going into this episode has remained the same. Daniel and I still did our research, we still prepared some talking points, we still approached Birds of Prey\\u2019s cultural talking points with a biblical perspective. Perhaps the biggest change you\\u2019ll notice between this episode and any other film-review offered from Cinematic Doctrine is that it will be far less eloquent. Even though, that\\u2019s fine. Most podcast aren\\u2019t eloquent.

For this episode, Daniel and I will talk about our immediate thoughts on Birds of Prey and how it\\u2019s R-Rating might negatively impact its themes of women\\u2019s empowerment. We talk about its underwhelming opening weekend box office numbers and the many things keeping the Birds of Prey from taking flight. We dig into its connections with perhaps one of the worst superhero films ever made, Suicide Squad, and how that film may have impacted Birds of Prey in more negative ways than one. And finally, Daniel and I discuss the value of watching a film whose main character is a villain from start to finish, and lightly contrast that to last years breakout Comic Book movie Joker.
