End Credits #390 - May 7, 2025 (Thunderbolts*)

This week on End Credits, we finally embrace summer!.. movie season. We're struggling to get summer-like weather outdoors, but conditions are hot in the movie theatre now that Summer Movie Season is officially here and it starts with the movie we're reviewing this week, Thunderbolts*. What else is coming? We're going to talk about that too!

This Wednesday, May 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Summer Movie Preview Part 2. Obviously, we did a sequel. There were so many unanswered questions from last week's first part of the Summer Movie Preview like what's coming out in July and August? So this week, we will pick up where we left off by talking about the rest of the summer movie slate including more superheroes, some romance, some dinosaurs, and at least one instance where a serious actor tries slapstick!

REVIEW: Thunderbolts* (2025). The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Have you heard of it? It's seen better days, and you can call it over saturation or call it a creative lull, but what the MCU really needs right now is a winner. So here come the losers! Thunderbolts* follows a group of black ops agents - the ones who exist between heroism and villainy - and asks the question, why not us? Led by indie darlings Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, can the Thunderbolts stage the superhero comeback the industry needs right now? We'll see.

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
