GAM Bonus 084: The Flash
Added 2023-08-29 18:49:20 +0000 UTCBecause 600 of you asked for it...

Listening to this, and having not seen the movie, I just realised what they're going for. It's Steins; Gate! But... Written by a moron. The world lines that can have different histories, the women who inevitably dies, the nexus event that must be undone, etc

2024-04-09 01:53:58 +0000 UTCAnd thus a loud screech of anger was heard as a million devout Discworld fans were deprived of a Discworld joke.

2023-10-15 16:32:57 +0000 UTCThe story this movie is clearly based on, Flashpoint, had a much more interesting danger than rehashed Man of Steel dregs: Wonder Woman and Aquaman leading their respective peoples to the brink of war with one another.

2023-09-09 08:37:30 +0000 UTCThe only DCEU movies I've genuinely liked were the first Wonder Woman and the two Shazam entries. Wonder Woman 84 was SUCH a disappointment after the first. GAM did a good job dissecting it in the earlier episode.

2023-09-03 22:34:35 +0000 UTCMutant Mayhem's weird reliance on attack on titan references creates such a great opportunity to troll people by pretending I don't know it's a real show...
potato potato also another potato
2023-09-02 20:06:57 +0000 UTCi'm of the same mind, I really enjoyed it...but it really is stupid...But I do like it a lot...kinda how I felt about the beast wars movie a few weeks prior. It's...terrible, but very good for a live transformers movie, and fun in general.

2023-09-02 20:04:00 +0000 UTCalso...maybe rework the falling babies a bit...that was so goddamn silly
potato potato also another potato
2023-09-02 20:00:59 +0000 UTCIt's so sad that this is far and away the best dceu movie (haven't seen blue beetle yet) I enjoyed it well enough, but it really is stupid, in a lot of ways, I fully endorse the threat to nominate it as best worst time travel, full stop. If I could make any change at all though, Keaton REALLY needed to be Thomas Wayne NOT Bruce.

2023-09-02 20:00:24 +0000 UTCThis movie is "bad" but fun as hell. Maybe I'm as drunk as the writers were but I don't hate this.
Matty B
2023-09-02 18:29:03 +0000 UTCI love that the calorie limit on using super speed was a huge issue until it wasn't. Apparently young Flash has infinite speed to go back in time for 50 years trying new things
Lexy
2023-09-01 17:59:04 +0000 UTCEli downplays his knowledge. He knows, I think. He did a whole CN on The Death of Superman.
Vincent Jorgensen
2023-09-01 03:33:55 +0000 UTCAs an Attack on Titan... fan?... SPOILERS I have to say that this is not the worst time travel plot. Not even only out of ones that involve dead moms.

2023-08-31 21:50:48 +0000 UTCThe Whale DOES exist though, and I think that's a contender.
Markus D
2023-08-31 11:17:16 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure they did remember, they were using "he" constantly for the character of Barry, but when talking about Ezra they used "they".
Markus D
2023-08-31 11:14:32 +0000 UTCReminder that Ezra Miller uses they/them pronouns. You are correct that they are a piece of shit though.
Ness Bivins
2023-08-31 08:42:24 +0000 UTCThe more I listen to them talk about DC.... the more a realize none of them have even gazed upon a DC comic
The Viking Paratrooper
2023-08-31 02:32:56 +0000 UTCI thought it was an interesting tribute to the Batman and Superman genre. I'm generation Jones (tail end of the boomers) so I grew up watching Adam West re-runs.
Simon Templar
2023-08-30 23:05:10 +0000 UTCI just happened to have watched this movie over the weekend - I actually enjoyed it, but my expectations were EXCEEDINGLY low. As I listened to this GAM episode about it, I was heartened to see how often our takes on it aligned. Great job guys!
Simon Templar
2023-08-30 23:00:01 +0000 UTCI'm amazed at how poorly they wrote the story given how amazing the animated version of The Flashpoint Paradox was.
Dr. Clerk
2023-08-30 22:00:39 +0000 UTCIf the Flash fucked an other version of himself it would be mastrubation, but that's not the interesting question. Obviously different Flashes can punch each other while time travelling, but what if one of them is laying down on a bed? If the one laying down watches the other one when moving at high speed, what would he see, a Flash-light?

2023-08-30 17:41:38 +0000 UTCPlease tell me you’re doing Blue Beetle, because everything good in that movie is a boring rip-off of a better Marvel movie.
AtomicSquirrel (Evan)
2023-08-30 15:35:48 +0000 UTCEli doing Michael Shannon on the first skit is an all time great GAM skit, it was perfection
Windy City Roger
2023-08-30 13:35:28 +0000 UTC“Ohhh, Batman should give away his money to better help the poor with-“ NO! Listen! If we can pretend that an alien god is the ultimate good guy of the DC Universe cause of his upbringing in rural goddamn Kansas, we can pretend that Batman is an ethical billionaire!

Everything Important
2023-08-30 03:39:57 +0000 UTCThis was a far better movie than everyone makes it out to be. Not a great movie to be clear, but not a bad movie either. Still I look forward to listening to this episode.
Steve Gosse
2023-08-30 02:22:49 +0000 UTCIs that the one parodying Les Mis?
101001101
2023-08-30 01:57:45 +0000 UTCThere are such a thing as an anti-stab plate, you can wear that under light clothing without a problem. Perhaps a good idea for a costume addition, eh, Supergirl?
101001101
2023-08-30 01:57:01 +0000 UTCBut Flash Gordon is a great movie. ;)
Grant Cosper
2023-08-29 23:39:40 +0000 UTCWas the possible Discworld joke regarding Night Watch?
Jacob Johnson
2023-08-29 23:27:12 +0000 UTCSo, if Supergirl is bulletproof but not stab-proof does that mean that her skin is like a Kevlar vest?
Markus D
2023-08-29 23:23:09 +0000 UTCThank you!!! I thought I was a crazy person.
Adam Martin
2023-08-29 23:14:53 +0000 UTCI’ve not seen the movie, but a friend of mine has it on his Plex so now I’m going to have to watch it after listening to the GAM ep. I’m…shocked that they put Christopher Reeve and Adam West in it.
Turanga Leela
2023-08-29 22:24:50 +0000 UTCI really wish you did more comic book movies (especially the bad MCU movies like Love & Thunder or Quatummania)
Matt Eldritch
2023-08-29 22:19:35 +0000 UTCThe Discworld joke Noah wanted to make at 1:10:00 - 'There's good eatin' on one of those.'
Mama Llaga
2023-08-29 22:16:29 +0000 UTCI actually enjoyed the movie
Square root of negative one
2023-08-29 22:02:26 +0000 UTCI saw the flash and assumed Flash Gordon. I’m excited for this but the disappointment I felt was real. I didn’t know I needed you to watch Flash Gordon but I will be suggesting it a lot in the future. For now I’m gonna enjoy this review of a completely non problematic DC movie.
Sham Hunter
2023-08-29 20:50:41 +0000 UTCEli, Barry didn’t stab his own mother, the Reverse Flash did it and Barry had to let him.
Patrick Carr
2023-08-29 19:35:29 +0000 UTCRight? The failure to make Grant Gustin the main DCEU Flash is just unforgivable.
Ian from wine country
2023-08-29 19:01:46 +0000 UTCAh, jesus fucking monkeys. I literally just finished watching this a half hour ago in anticipation of the episode. It's... not horrendous, as I think right now. I'm sure you'll destroy it for me.
Ian from wine country
2023-08-29 19:00:56 +0000 UTCThe TV series was so watchable (mostly), too. How do you fuck up The Flash?
Vincent Jorgensen
2023-08-29 18:57:39 +0000 UTCThe DC episodes are my favorite. These movies are so terrible.
michael rauser
2023-08-29 18:56:14 +0000 UTCI'm so happy, this movie is so awful, might be possibly be the worst mainstream film of 2023
michael rauser
2023-08-29 18:55:48 +0000 UTCOh hell yeah! I can't wait to listen. Nobody shits the bed like DC.
Ty Stephens
2023-08-29 18:51:40 +0000 UTCWe LOVE you, PIAT.
