One of the Mikes was without power since a tornado hit. The other was binge watching “Friends.” So this episode opens with a whole lot of pent up nonsense. Some rants are more metta than others, but nothing we say could compare to the maximum metta of the merc with the mouth (alliteration fans, permission to GO WILD!!). Having just completed our 10th episode on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we could not avoid nor resist this movie event. Both of us loved the first Deadpool, and we did have some high expectations. Our Oscar lense segment makes compelling arguments for and against the award chances for Celine Dion’s original song “Ashes,” as well as the visual effects, and maybe even the adapted screenplay. We then review the soundtrack, score, cinematography, and performances before dancing around the plot to give you a spoiler-free review of the script. There’s a non-dubstep musical interlude to indicate the spoiler section, and we break down all of the schtick filled plotlines. Some immediate carryovers open with some surprising production nuggets, the what could have beens of the post-credit century perhaps. Then we break down most of the plot in our long lists of worst and best scenes. It’s one of our more balanced reviews in awhile, filled with all the gushing and heckling you’ve come to know and love from these movie event reviews. In a fun twist, we decide to add the 2 Deadpool films to our recent ranking of the entire MCU, and we conclude the episode with some intriguing questions about the effects of this metta masterpiece (alliteration fans, feel free to golf clap). We hope you’re enjoying our Oscar Off-Season as we’ve reviewed the films of the MCU, as well as movie events like A Quiet Place, the streaming world of Netflix, basketball movies, and of course, our halfisode series on the music of Oscar. Do check out those five short episodes covering Best Original Song categories of the Academy’s past. For what we may lack in musical knowledge, we make up in awesomely bad singing voices. Stay tuned for more of what we’ve done most. We have another Oscar retrospective planned, the 1989 Best Original Screenplay category featuring Dead Poets Society, Do The Right Thing, When Harry Met Sally, Sex Lies and Videotape, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. We’ll also have another Hollywood Hot Take episode covering the latest in the early Oscar race from the Cannes film festival including a preview of Spike Lee’s Black Klansmen.
