In the second episode of Film Fallout, Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan talk about Deadpool‘s insane opening weekend box office, Daniel Craig’s upcoming cable network show Purity, Bad Boys 3 is confirmed, and Star Wars Episode VIII getting some new cast members attached to it. The new Blu-Ray releases are plentiful this week as well, with Black Mass and Steve Jobs headlining the week, along with Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid coming to Criterion. Dylan explains why Horace and Pete is both hilarious and extremely interesting, and Chris watched Funny or Die’s Donald Trump movie starring Johnny Depp.
But most importantly, Chris Penwell joins the two as they talk in-depth about Marvel’s Deadpool, an R-Rated superhero movie that is more about the comedy than action. And it made $150 million on its opening weekend? The three discuss how that could have happened with a movie that seemed to only be championed by its star Ryan Reynolds. Another important topic discussed is how Deadpool will affect the rest of Fox’s superhero films — specifically their X-Men franchise.
Give the podcast a listen below, and tune in next week when Film Fallout tackles the highly-anticipated horror film, The Witch.
