The Suicide Squad

In this episode, Susan and Greg discuss Greg's pick, 2021's The Suicide Squad. This will be a spoiler-filled conversation in which we compare this version to 2016's Suicide Squad. The couple also discusses the best and worst of DC films and compares James Gunn's and David Ayer's directing.

 

Susan also busts out her poetry slam skills, which we'll share here:

 

Amanda Waller is at it again

Sending women, creatures, and men

Into dangerous situations

Under the guise of protecting our nation.

 

Blood Sport, Harley, Rick and Gang

Hit Corto Maltese to see if they could hang.

 

Some of them have less of a good time

Infiltrating a fortress called Jötunheim.

Things get dicey executing Waller's wish,

Which is to destroy all traces of Project Starfish.

 

They have explosive chips in their necks, so they don't ask why.

And spoiler alert, a lot of people die.

 

The Suicide Squad stars Margo Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Viola Davis, 

Sylvester Stallone, Joel Kinnaman, David Dastmaichian and Daniela Melchior. The movie also features Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Michael Rooker, Alice Braga, Pete Davidson, Joaqin Cosio, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, and Nathan Fillion.
