#Pixar #Disney #Elemental #TheFlash #DC
U guys should add time stamps for the different parts of the podcast
Ong. I came to comment the same thing
YESSS
The way Andrew side eyed the camera when Alex said it reminded him of cars 2😂😂😂
ya love to see it
The 10 second Mario cameo was surreal😅😂
I don’t really comment on things but I’m proud of Alex for quitting his job and doing this full time. I’m looking forward for more of your content you guys are amazing and I wish you all so much success in this industry!
37:57 for flash spoilers
GOAT
Thank you brother
Hilarious how hat guy draws the line at Batman being funny but is okay with him killing
RIGHT?!?!?! - Andrew
NGL I actually kind of agree with him there. Like he said, Batfleck was branding, maiming and killing people in his introductory movie. Every movie after that just felt like they were trying to turn him into a darker RDJ Tony Stark. If they wanted a comedic moment, dry humor or confident humor from this Batman would be the best way to pass it, not a lasso of truth simp moment. Snyderverse got some things right and a lot of things wrong, but I'm looking forward to what we're going to get with the new DCU.
just wanna say, having a broken window in your car has gotta be one of the most humbling yet human experiences. makes you appreciate every car afterwards 👌
SO TRUE and add on top of that no AC as well. It was sad.

100% agree with Andrew about The Flash. Alex is off his rocker per usual
LETS GO EARLY EPISODEEE, love talking to alex in the lounge y’all are the best!
21:50 Alex did not just say that cocaine bear is in the same category as fellowship of the ring 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I swear there are times when I love Alex and then other times when I wanna punch him in the face.
I think that’s how most people feel
istg the dudes an idiot
As I was watching Barry put the baby into the microwave I immediately thought of you guys!
12:15 Cars 2 is actually one of my favorite movies from Pixar. I also grew up around it
The shave genuinely looks good!!!
The reason you don't remember if u saw Clooney as batman was because u didn't. 3c films said that in his early screening the movie ended once Bruce got out of the far but didn't show his face. Unlike the full release where it shows his face.
26:06 We need a Disney Alex soundtrack
ya’ll should start doing reaction videos for movies, trilogies, trailers and series. Regardless, u guys make some dope content keep it up
Putting a baby in the microwave is something Ezra would do in real life
.....👀
I love this pod cast I just started watching this last month and it has changed my perspective of different movies and I have watched a lot of movies I just want to say thank you to the pod keep doing what your doing you put a smile on my face every time I see a new video
Glad you enjoy it!
21:31 YESSSSSS PLSSSSSSSS
I wish I could go and see a movie with you guys at the movie theater just to catch your guys reaction 😅
Honestly I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes cars 2 haha
Yeah my theatre was very silent when I watched it opening night and I did notice most people were around my age (late teens, 20s) but when I watched it on Sunday for Father’s Day with my family there was an applause for Michael Keaton and loud gasps and a big applause for George Clooney and it was a lot of dads lol
yeah apparently it is a 76% male ratio
the fact alex complains about roberts batman, afflecks batman, and keatons batman, tells me he does not understand batman
I legit want to watch the flash movie more after watching this 😂
Trust me… you do not 😂
The movie wasn’t great in my opinion, not that that means anything hahah
You should check it out. Great emotional story
It’s pre good honestly
@@jacksongibbs98its not great but its very fun to watch
@@jacksongibbs98yep it was ass
Also not one TARZAN song in that trivia😭💔😂!
Supergirl started to whoop on Zod because he killed baby Kal-El ... not because she suddenly loves humans
Huuuuge W on Alex using they/them correctly
I commented too early… Congratulations Alex! Awesome to hear you following your heart on leaving your job! ❤️
Thank you!!
Just subscribed my brother's. It got a lot of scrutiny but i thought the flash was dope! Great podcast by the way!👍🏾👍🏾😎
Welcome aboard!
The ad for Monopoly Go that I just got would have been way better if y’all were doing it
Hahahahaha!!
The Nightmare Before Christmas has to be the next movie night after TASM 2
alex with a mental health W we love to see it
43:00 is really funny
I agree 6/10. I had fun with it but A LOT of issues that I can’t excuse especially since this movie was supposed to come out a year ago and it still felt massively unfinished
Flash is 8/10 for me. Definitely not the best comic book movie of all time but I had so much fun!
Bro the guy was apart of the Maroni crime family that’s def a proper villain.
I didn’t like the george clooney reveal thing like it doesn’t add to the story and just leaves a lot of questions about the universe and all of a sudden it’s going to be a completely different batman. like i would’ve loved if when he returns to his timeline, he’s a different/our new flash actor and then the batman at the end wasn’t revealed. like before it cuts to batman, it cuts to the new flash being like “who the hell are you”
Alex and his brother look identical…
Tbh i dont mind if george clooney plays batman in brave and the bold i cant lie, i think if written well he could be a very good experience batman with a robin who is a leader
i just wanna say that i really dont think it dragged at all, it was genuinely one of the funniest experiences ive ever had in a theater and that kept me engaged. this movie was genuinely hilarious
Glad you enjoyed!
Hat Guy has an L Take on Batman… like WHATTT?!?!
i think they marketed the hell out of supergirl and michael keaton batman so much but they were both underwhelming
I’m working on watching on catching up on the podcast rn. I’m like 6 episodes behind, but I very much enjoy the episodes and I had to go ahead and watch this one since I watched the movie last night.
Glad you like them!
When I tell you I have never been scared of anything in my life more than when I heard Alex say he wanted to talk about The Flash more than anything else…
If the flash was Tom Holland and not Ezra Miller, then everyone would've loved it 🤷🏻♂️
8/10🔥
Flash is good, it's just not the best DC movie (Shazam or Aquaman)
"You like the crab song better?!?"
"SHINAYYY"
Completely agree with Alex in the first segment
I am the same I was so confused thinking this was apparently resetting the DCU for Gunn ? I thought the scene where all the earths were coming together were going to crash and form a new universe or something but no, idk a fine movie at best 6.5/10
I thought the hag guy had a bad food list until you put Arby’s at 2
Never seen this podcast before, but gotta agree with Andrew (spider-man guy?) because Hat guys take is laughably bad.
Andrew thank you so much for what saying I’ve been telling all of my friends, this should have never been the first story of flash, in my opinion they shouldve taken iris out of this movie and changed the script to the reverse flash of him killing his barry’s mom and we see his origin
I thought the movie was nothing special, felt like I was sitting there with a straight facial expression the whole time
Are you still doing your movie fight bracket showdown?
Was thinking about this episode while watching the flash 2 days ago
6 episodes binged today and this is the first Alex take I've aggressively disagreed with, and it's a passing take- Fellowship is mid? FELLOWSHIP?! I've got Fellowship at like an 8/10 usually, 9/10 if you haven't rewatched it in a while.
I loved the flash movie. After the season 9 of the flash tv show this made me believe in the flash character again.
Saying Batman v Superman is a better representation of Batman than The Batman is the worse take I ever heard
I agree Flash is a terrible movie but we can't be grouped together on that one
really happy to see that elemental is good. The first teaser had me excited but the later trailers just didn’t look that appealing.
How can you forget about Christian bale you say every Batman lol
I think y’all should go over the Batman
Stop saying Old also! I’m 32 and yes I watched the Michael Keaton movies when I was younger so the nostalgia is real for me but I’m not old lol
I'm with Andrew on this. The Flash is a great movie. I think Alex is being harsh with it. But hey, to each its own i guess
i think this movie is a very big mess, but also i mean under their circumstances they had a hard time making this, it took 10 years to finally come out, they were forced to make this a version of the flashpoint paradox but then have michael keaton in it for nostalgia that is late to the trend, also throw in 20 different characters from the past, but also end the universe and show that DC is going into a new direction, oh yeah and on top of that you’re going to deal with your main actor have many many problems while production/marketing is happening
Throughout the year you should write your rankings down of the movies, and compare the movies that you gave the same ranking
Chick fil a over shake shack is criminal
elemental might be in my top 10 pixar all time
Not crazy to say that
The lasso of truth batman scene. Was literally like a deleted scene from Jostice League. And was unbelievably cringe. Also am surprised that I found myself completely agreeing with Alex(hat guy) throughout their entire flash review.😂 #RestoreTheSnyderVerse.
I didn't get the ending too, like why? Where are we going from here next?
yall should rip apart the billboard lists they just made a Disney song one
Great idea!
which is a better villain the joker or thanos
that top 10 was horrendous
On the patreon are the movie nights available at the €10 option
Who's the best Disney villain and why is it scar from lion king
Someone put the time sone for the flash segment
They didn’t do Christian Bale (my hot take is that he’s the best Batman)
Another hat guy W
The last 5 current Superman issues is him fight in Metropolise … 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️man of steel is great
This is like my 7th episode I’ve seen back to back, very entertaining and the takes that you guys have are CRAZY!!
Flash was a decent movie better than a good amount of this crappy universe’s movies, I have so many problems with it. OG Flash’s goofiness completely changed after he left his universe, and so many timing things that simply didn’t make sense during the running scenes. And how could he save everyone at the beginning of the movie but puke when flash 2.0 moves him to dodge bullets??
Actually watched it again and it’s not mid movie 8/10
Andrew I haven't seen Flash or Elemental but you gave both of them a 8/10 which one is better?
It’s tough bc they are so different 🤔 my gut tells me Elemental but idk
You guys are the best!!!
You're the best!
in the next DCU batman movie he better not kill at all
Dropping a like for Alex quitting his job 🎉🎉🎉
ayyyy shoutout Alex for being the GOAT
LOVE YOU GUYS MUCH LOVE FROM GERMANY
We love you!
Alex, if you don’t mind me asking what job did you have before?
Saying fellowship is a 6 should be a crime
Agreed - Andrew
Love the podcast
Ngl I don’t think cats 2 is bad I actually thing it’s better than both coco and inside out
I’ve seen it 3 times. It’s not very good. It’s not terrible. But it’s not very good.
Is elemental a good movie if you see it in 3d
Bro I saw the noti n instantly clicked on the vid
Hope you enjoyed it!
Twich name?
I honestly couldn’t enjoy Across the Spiderverse, was so disappointed and the Flash was so much better for me. Wish I could love Across The Spiderverse as much as you guys.
Loved the blind ranking 😂 please continue!
would it be possible to create sections for the videos so its easier to keep track of the timeline
Flash movie was so good
both fast food lists are AWFUL
“Their Performance”? His!!!!
