What’s the story: With Superman dead, the world teeters on the brink of social collapse. Bruce Wayne (Affleck) and Diana Prince (Gadot), Batman and Wonder Woman, seek out superhuman recruits for a team of protectors when a cosmic threat looms in the form of Steppenwolf (Hinds).
What’s the verdict: A franchise with no future will always look to its past. Wonder Woman riffed on 1978 Superman’s fish out of water sweetness and noble derring-do. A perfect antidote to Suicide Squad’s cynicism and meanness.

In ep 24 Rob Daniel & Rob Wallis take a flying visit to the Caribbean for brief opinions on Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (or Dead Men Tell No Tales dependent on which part of the world you’re being forced to watch the film). Don’t worry, they don’t miss the opportunity to give Johnny Depp a figurative shoe-ing.
Then our intrepid podcasters say, “Don’t show me The Mummy!” Purging their rage and confusion over Tom Cruise’s bizarre vanity vehicle, they keep it tight where the film itself unravelled. They desperately search for something positive to say about the movie, finally plumping for the fact it doesn’t endorse the policies of Donald Trump. Although it comes close…
In need of cinematic succour, they bask in the awesome glow of Wonder Woman...

Episode 3 of The Electric Shadows Podcast sees Rob Wallis and myself look at the long-awaited Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Or rather we have a mini-group therapy session to deal with the visual, aural and plot incoherence of visionary director Zack Snyder’s latest masterwork… And make suggestions on how it could be improved. And make a number of scatology based comments on its artistic shortcomings…

What’s the story: A gang including crooked cops are forced to execute high risk heists by a female Russian-Jewish mob boss. To pull off one of the heists requires a lethal misdirect involving an unsuspecting fellow officer.
What’s the verdict: Triple 9’s cast list is a quadruple wow. Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus, Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul, Anthony Mackie and Clifton Collins Jr make up the crew committing audacious robberies in the city of Atlanta.
