#040: (Pt. 2) Suicide Squad / The Dirty Dozen

Our comparison of bad-guys-doing-good films continues with THE DIRTY DOZEN’s ultra-modern, ultra-messy progeny, the new DC Extended Universe entry SUICIDE SQUAD. We try to make sense of the many issues plaguing the newer film, and decipher how the two films each come down on the ideas of villainy and leadership. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE DIRTY DOZEN, SUICIDE SQUAD, or both by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Time Codes: Intro: 00:00-01:45 Main Discussion: 01:46-42:44 Your Next Picture Show: 42:43-52:56  *Scott: Joachim Trier’s LOUDER THAN BOMBS  *Keith: Justin Lin’s STAR TREK BEYOND  *Tasha: Sian Heder’s TALLULAH  *Genevieve: Andrew Haigh’s LOOKING: THE MOVIE Outro: 52:57-55:01 Learn more about your ad choices.
