Hello everyone, welcome to another first round bald movie of the pulp persuasion.

Jim and I went to go see Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness directed by Sam Raimi.

You might know this gentleman from the various evil deads he's done and the original Spider-Man

trilogy back to the Marvel universe, back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time

returning. He's written by Michael Waldron, you'll recall that he is the upjunct

Rick and Morty writer that also pinned Loki back for more multiverse action. It stars all

the people you expect and a whole bunch of people, maybe you don't. If you stayed away from spoilers

and whatnot, so we're not going to spoil that for you, not yet. We're going to get into the

premium section before we start to dish in that. And we'll talk about trailers first, so don't

don't freak out, don't panic. Jim, you're the wildcard here. What did you think of Dr. Strange

and the multiverse of madness? It was good. It was good, not great. It's enjoyable. I mean,

it's a Marvel movie, right? They've got the formula nailed. The only real problem I see is that

there's too much of it and it's not like quantity of movies. It's too much everything. It's like

there is so much fighting in this movie. There is so much extra in this movie that it just

kind of gets in the way of enjoying a movie. I don't know. And so the stuff I think they're doing

that's good on a human characterization level just kind of gets overshadowed by fight after

fight after fight. And they all look roughly the same. Like, yeah, this movie has a lot of gimmicks

and they are pretty cool gimmicks, but they're still gimmicks. And I just like that blinds me to

the cool stuff that they're doing. Well, I actually like comic book movies and I thought this is a

pretty great one. This is not the best film the Marvels put out, but like, you know, it probably

helps that I've seen all the stuff I need to see. I saw all of them. I've seen, yeah, pretty much

all the Marvel stuff. And I think if you are asking me what you need to see, it really helps
