You're listening to Pretty Much Pop, a culture podcast. We'd like to break the fourth wall, but we'd have to build one first.

Today we're discussing the Deadpool film franchise and character in light of the new Deadpool and Wolverine film, which officially marks the end of the

20th century Fox Marvel franchise since it was acquired by Disney. I'm Mark Linsomeyer, the mark with

the mouth. I'm Al Baker still pretty sore about that Green Lantern movie. I'm Sarah Lindbrecht,

but most people know me as laying in lit pool.

It's a deep cut.

My name is Lawrence, where, and I may sound like Lawrence.

I may look like Lawrence, but I'm actually from an alternate dimension.

And so we arrive.

We had an extra week to work on this.

I didn't take advantage of that.

I have read a few reviews. It seems like people tend to like this movie. I did see something I couldn't find the reference this morning that was saying, oh, well, this is the Disney-Fide version

and what made the original two Deadpool movies so great. Their subversive quality was undercut.

I don't know. I didn't get that feeling

when I was watching it at all. What do you all think of this? This one and the series as a whole,

which I enjoy. I'll get on the record. Well, my journey with the latest Deadpool movie was

originally we were going to record this a week ago, and at the time I had just got back

from a four-day long, really punishing road trip.

And the last thing in the world that I wanted to do was to go and watch a movie in the cinema.

But because of my irrepressible work ethic, I dragged myself over there.

Love your dedication.

The movie made it absolutely worth it for me.
