You Watched It Wrong

Wade and Siggy are tired of social isolation, so let's talk about movies where folks get together with their best buds, go roam the wilds of their neighborhoods and make out with people! (But just in movies, folks. There's still a pandemic raging, FFS. Wear your damn mask!)

In Part One of an unofficial two-part series, we cover three classic examples of what Siggy dubs "The BFF Quest". (Three and a third if you count Myth Of The American Sleepover. But not enough to get it into the episode title.)

 

Wade and Siggy have a "quick" phone call to discuss Spider-Man: Far From Home and how it changes their category rankings for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd continue across the USA and beyond, Wade and Siggy discuss the massive amounts of video that's being captured, and the long legacy of white supremacy that got us here.

 

But watching and talking aren't enough. To donate or volunteer to help people fighting for racial justice, please consider the following organizations:

 

• Citizens Trust Bank
• The Russell Foundation
• The New Georgia Project
• “Live Free” 
• The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition
• Movement for Black Lives 
• Next Level Boys Academy

 

To quote Killer Mike, "Those organizations and many, many more across the country need your help. They need boots on the ground. So there is nothing wrong with having the anger and emotion and passion overspill that we saw, because that needs to happen to ignite. But, now that you’re ignited, I need you on a weekly and daily basis to join a grassroots organization wherever you are and for you guys to progress wherever you are. So that nationally we can be allied and progressing together.”

At last! Our almost final* rankings of all things MCU! First Wade and Siggy briefly revise their rankings from Parts 1 and 2, then they leap into the Best and the Worst Lines of Dialogue! Moments! And... that's all??? Plus Siggy gives his Very Special Tribute to the characters of the MCU.

*Except that we recorded this before Spider-Man: Far From Home was released... those thoughts coming soon!

 

 

 

Recorded before the coronavirus hit our shores, so we didn't know to be upset about that. But we did decide to discuss Joker, so something was in the air.

The thrilling conclusion! The biggest awards!

• Best Director
• Best Actor
• Best Actress
• Best Picture

Bonus! Wade and Siggy rank every 2019 movie they managed to see. And Wade opens up about why Lego Movie 2: The Second Part was made just for him.
