WOOT 0424:  Our Hero Related Preview of 2023

In our latest Way Off Our Topic episode, we successfully avoided talking about racing for most of the episode and focused on the upcoming hero related preview of both movies and tv shows for 2023 and even some further out.  Unfortunately, we recorded this prior to updated plans for the DC universe shows and movies by James Gunn so that will have to be in a future show.  Benny, Alex, Vicki, and Bill went into a bit of a geek deep dive, so strap in.

So which ones are you most looking forward to?  Which ones are you most concerned about?

WOOT 0281 (Spoiler Filled) We review Spiderman: No Way Home and Most of 2021’s Movies

2021 Movie Review

WOOT 0281:  (Spoiler Filled)  We review Spiderman:  No Way Home and Most of 2021’s Movies (& The Matrix Resurrections)

It has been quite a year and we decided to review the recent Spiderman:  No Way Home movie and then we go into many of the other movies that we went to this year including Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and all other MCU and DCEU and related movies and TV shows including The Matrix Resurrections.  We then go to ranking the various movies and shows for 2021.  Then we go to each of our overall top 5 movies for the year and there was a lot of disagreements and discussions in this area.  We also look forward to the upcoming MCU and DCEU releases that are scheduled for the upcoming year plus a bit.  After that we then say goodbye to the lovely Vicki and go into the new Matrix movie Resurrections.  The movie seems to be very divisive and we have quite strong views on this reboot of the Matrix.

Highlights for this No Way Home and 2021 Movie Review episode are:

1)  Spiderman:  No Way Home is the beginning of the episode and we then have to walk Alex off the Amazing Spiderman cliff.  Vicki gets a bit confused over some of the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies.  We then debate the best movie Spiderman.

2)  Alex is firmly on the side of Andrew Garfield and also says the  Venom movies are good, so we question most of his opinions, lol.

3)  Alex’s top 5 all time MCU movies starts a war and then the discussion of each of our MCU Top 5 movies of all time.

4)  Then we turn to the order of each of the MCU and DCEU movies and shows for 2021.  We agreed on one movie amongst us, lol.

5)  A quick review of The Witcher season two.

6)  If you are looking for some ideas for movies and TV shows, we also go into our top 5 movies and TV shows of 2021 that we would recommend to everyone.

7)  What about what is upcoming and scheduled?  It is in here too.  Alex, as always, stays positive.  It was great knowing him on the podcast, lol.

8)  Our thoughts on The Matrix:  Resurrection ends this episode.  Since this is Bill’s all time favorite movie, you knew we could not skip this one.

The Suicide Squad

And Comparing the MCU and DCEU

And Then the Battle Royale Broke Out

Face off

WOOT Stands for Way Off Our (normal) Topic so this is NOT a driving or racing episode. What began as a simple review of James Gunn’s new movie The Suicide Squad quickly became a debate of the DC Extended Universe and the MCU from Marvel.  Benny and Alex return to their WOOT origin and feel Bill is biased against the DCEU.  So we rank all the DCEU and the MCU movies to date and discuss the upcoming movies in both series.  We also had a short discussion of the first three Marvel tv shows on Disney+.
