Summary

Taika Waititi helming another Thor movie was always going to mean a great deal of silliness along with whatever planetary crisis the MCU brain trust cooked up, but with THOR: LOVE & THUNDER, the question has become: how much silliness is too much? Put another way: how many goats is too many goats? Adam defends his 1-star Letterboxd review and Josh (sort of ) defends Waititi. With its two movie Chrises (Hemsworth and Pratt), "Love and Thunder" also gives us an opportunity to revisit 2018's TOP 5 CHRIS POWER RANKING, with Adam and Josh offering their revised rankings at the end of the show. Plus Josh shares thoughts on the new GKids feature THE DEER KING and has a Golden Brick-spotting review of Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman's NEPTUNE FROST. 0:00 - Billboard 1:19 - Review: "Thor: Love & Thunder" Saul Williams, "Binary Stars" 29:10 - Golden Brickspotting (JL): "Neptune Frost" 33:10 - Review (JL): "The Deer King" 35:52 - Notes / Polls 48:04 - Top 5: Chris Power Rankings (2018) 1:26:39 - Chris Power Rankings Redux (2022) 1:39:48 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
