#278: First Man

Published: Nov. 17, 2023, 7:14 a.m.

James Gunn trolls Disney by accepting a job writing, producing, and possibly directing Suicide Squad 2, the WGA decides that all screenwriters are equal unless you write cartoons in which case - no soup for you, and John Rambo puts an end to the debate over who drew first blood with a shiny new title. Plus we pit all four versions of A Star Is Born against each other in an Extreme Death Match in which there can only be one glorious victor. Then it's off to space with Ryan Gosling on the good ship Apollo with a feature review of Damien Chazelle's First Man, accompanied by Ron Howard's Apollo 13 in which Houston gets some very bad news.
