Summary

“Wonder Woman”, the first female-led superhero movie in ages, has arrived! After praising director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Godot in a pre-spoiler segment, we discuss the necessity of the post-“Batman v. Superman” framing sequence, the choreography of the fight scenes, the innate humanity of Gal Godot’s Diana, how this compares to recent superhero fare, the World War I setting, and maybe even Chris Pine’s watch.

0:00.0	The Incomparable, number 357, June 2017.
0:11.5	Welcome back, everybody, to The Incomparable.
0:13.9	I am not your host, Jason Snell.
0:16.2	No, I am Erica Ensign, and I'm usually a panelist here on The Incomparable.
0:20.6	But alas, our fearless

0:58.8	Who knew?
1:00.0	Yeah, what's that about it?

1:09.7	First of all, we have Shannon Sutteris. Welcome
1:11.9	back to the podcast. Shannon.
1:13.9	Hola, freckis. And you heard his voice a moment ago. David J. Lorr is here.
1:19.5	What, what that? Oh, oh, that's a watch. That's my watch.
