Suicide Squad

Description
[School of Movies 2016] DC continue their epic campaign of not being able to pull together a cinematic universe that many people enjoy being in. There has been much said of Suicide Squad already and backlash across the board. If critics are critical they get it in the neck from one crowd, if they praise it they get it in the neck from the other crowd, if they vocalise their view that it's a mixed bag they get a heady cocktail of flak from BOTH crowds. So here's a mixed bag for you.  This film is empirically botched in the edit. It most definitely has problems of tone, structure and characterisation and has clearly and manifestly been mismanaged by too many executives unsure of exactly what film they wanted. I'm going to say the people who enjoyed it are capable of overlooking those problems or consider them to be more than made up for by the good stuff. Bob "Moviebob" Chipman joins myself, Sharon, Brenden Agnew and James Perkins to look at what the hell happened here. Guests: Bob Chipman of Geek.com Brendan Agnew of Cinapse James Perkins of The Digital Fix
