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.

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.

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

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+.

WOOT 0229: The Suicide Squad and Comparing the MCU and DCEU

Battle Royale over the MCU vs the DCEU and The Suicide Squad

Loki, Black Widow, Falcon & the Winter Soldier, and WandaVision

WOOT 0212: Our Thoughts on Loki, Black Widow, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and WandaVision

It has been several months since we did a WOOT episode where we go Way Off Our Topic of racing and go into another are of our lives, our fandom of virtually all things superheroes.  In this episode , we go over our thoughts about the three recent Disney+ MCU related shows:  WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki, as well as the most recent Black Widow movie.  This recording was prior to the season finale of Loki, so our predictions may prove accurate, insightful, or down right stupid, still TBD, lol.  

We tried to cover a lot during a single episode, but if you want more details, let us know. There is easily a ton more detail one every single one of these shows.

We hope you enjoy this bonus WOOT episode!!! We are Garage Heroes In Training after all. 

Thankfully we are not training in the Red Room.

If you make it to the end, we cover the HPDE planning for both of our teams at the upcoming PittRace event hosted by NASA Great Lakes.
