FIRST TIME WATCHING: The Suicide Squad

Awesome reaction.

Great reaction, also I'll say like many others, birds of prey would be a fun watch it's a full movie around Harley Quinn!

Birds of Prey is really fun as well for a future film that you get even more amazing Margot Robbie as Harley~!

This movie deserves more praise honestly. It was very fun the whole time.

The secretary with the big cleavage that got a laugh from Nat at around 49:55 on the timer was also in Superman. That actress Mikaela Hoover played Cat Grant, the blonde reporter who also had a running scene with cleavage. It can be DC's version of the Stan Lee cameo, just have Mikaela Hoover in every DC movie.

It’s funny how weirdly connected it is to the other suicide squad - Flagg and Harley’s banter, Boomerang and weasel showing up - despite also ignoring all of it lmao I enjoy this movie but I hate Waller’s whole crew lmao, probably why I didn’t get in to peacemaker, would’ve much rather followed pretty much any character from this

Glad this film made its way 'round here. I absolutely LOVED this movie. It was a blast to watch it again "with Nat" too. Can't wait to check out Peacemaker when that drops (Oh! it did while I was watching the movie, lol).

I think you’d dig the fuck out of Birds of Prey. Some of the fight choreography and stunt work is really fun and Ewan McGregor is having THE MOST FUN chewing up the scenery as the villain Black Mask. Heads up for Peacemaker/DC stuff in the future. After this is Peacemaker Season 1 and then Creature Commandos which is kind of hte same thing as The Suicide Squad but with monsters and the team is run by Rick Flag Sr, the father of the Rick Flag who died in this film. You already saw Rick Flag Sr. in Superman. Things in Creature Commandos are mentioned in Peacemaker Season 2. Just to keep it all in order: The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker Season 1, Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker Season 2. That’s the order they take place.

GOATED schedual

As someone who actually made Crocs, we produced so much of that shit, that they give them 3rd country, prison, orphanage etc.

I'm glad you got a kick out of this. I'm excited to watch the Peacemaker reactions. That show is wild. And I almost want to recommend Creature Commandos as a short animated show. Justice for Weasel lol

The flowers and birds were meant to show what goes on in Harley’s head.

Idris Elba was originally meant to to replace Will Smiths character Deadshot from the first film but mid way through production they changed him to another DC mercenary character Bloodsport instead but literally everything else about him is the same his friendship with Flag him having a Daughter etc they just did little tweaks like making the daughter more estranged and cutting out the potential romantic relationship with Harley. They changed it incase Smith ever wanted to comeback for another film this was Pre Oscars Slap so Smith was still a draw if he wanted to return.

Coco is such a perfect choice for friday !

The actor who plays the Thinker is Peter Capaldi and Gunn is open to reusing some actors in different roles from this film like Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion. I hope he does this with Capaldi as he’s an amazing actor. You should definitely check out Doctor who as he takes up the role of the Doctor in season 8 of the revival series.

This is a fun and great film to watch and is necessary even w/o a "universe connection". This might be confusing in words to some but trust me it isn't. James Gunn made this before he and Peter Safran took over DC Studios as co-CEO's so this film isn't part of the new DCU because only some of this film is canon and connected to the new DCU even tho most of S1 of Peacemaker and all of S2 are canon to the DCU as u will see when u watch both season. Things that aren't canon are things like Bloodsport shooting Superman bc in the DCU Superman lost a battle for the first time in his film, and maybe the fact Harley Quinn was there bc Harley in the new DCU might get a new take without this "Suicide Squad" past and she will start out as the classic Batman villain with Joker and then evolve...Margot could return to play a new Harley but I think she will get cast as someone else in the new universe and someone else plays Harley...It's not confusing as u watch things like Peacemaker and Creature Commandos after bc what they say and show only matters for the future, this film was too good not to keep some story parts as a past for the new DCU...I think Matt Reeves' Gotham should be the DCU Gotham with him running it and Robert Pattinson as Batman…James Gunn wants it Ik...having another Batman outshined by Rob and the team is probably not good for business. I respect filmmakers like Matt and James who came to this genre to tell great stories even "real cinema" heads can enjoy like The Batman and The Penguin for Reeves and his team including Lauren LeFranc, and others will too in this space like for the upcoming Green Lantern TV show called Lanterns for HBO next year that has ppl from The Sopranos, True Detective, Ozark, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Watchmen, Slow Horses, Lost, and more that worked on the show.

If you liked Margot Robbie as Harley you should watch the birds of prey film as it’s a more of a Harley Quinn film and in that regard it’s pretty good Harley Film. As a Birds of Prey film it’s barely about that team. Also any version of The Birds of Prey that doesn’t have Oracle or Big Barda on the team is lesser in my opinion but they are my two favourite Female DC heroes and Oracle was literally the founder of the team so I’m biased.It’s set after the first Suicde squad film but before this one. There’s also a Harley Quinn animated series that’s excellent and Alan Tudyk voices serveral characters including the Joker.

Ok well now she’s seen The Suicide Squad and Superman (2025) and is about to watch Season 1 of Peacemaker, well now she has to watch Creature Commandos afterwards , especially if she plans on watching season 2 of Peacemaker. Oh FYI every episode of Peacemaker including season two has a post credit scene, but they’re more like little fun gag scenes and not too important to the show, and if you do watch Creature Commandos (which you definitely should because it ties into the new James Gunn DCU and all these movies and shows) there’s also a post credit scene for that show, but it’s only in the final episode.

Oh, Coco is going to tear Natalie UPPP. I never cry to movies and Coco got me. So excited to experience it again

side note: The flowers are how Harley sees the world.

OMG Nat! I heard your whole body go "Snap Crackle Pop" like Rice Krispies while stretching during the credits! Jeez girl!

Man I hate these movies with different versions.. Version I have access to definitely isn't the same as Nat's :/

Now this week completely flips the script, from 0 interest last week, to gonna watch everything this week

The DCU officially begins. I still want you to watch Loki season 2 and Brave New World, but this is the perfect time for me to rejoin. The next stop is Peacemaker season 1. I can’t wait. And as a Latino man myself, thank you for checking out Coco. I can’t wait to talk about it this Friday. I also hope you check out Blue Beetle 2023 soon. It’s also a Latino-centered film, and it’s getting an animated sequel series in the DCU next year. This movie is what we call a spiritual sequel. Some of the characters that appeared in the first movie also have a role here, but you didn’t really need to watch the first one because this movie is kind of its’ own thing. James Gunn has a habit of hiring the same actors across various projects that he works on. For example, you probably wouldn’t recognize him without the blue makeup but Michael Rooker portrayed Yondu in the Guardians movies before portraying Savant. Also, Weasel was portrayed by James’ brother Sean who was also Kraglin. Funny enough in a similar sense, some of the actors who had a role here would go on to appear in the Holiday Special and Volume 3. James also has a habit of making people laugh and pulling at their heartstrings as he has previously proven. With that said, my favorite funny moment was Bloodsport yelling “it’s your mom!!!” Overall, Bloodsport is my favorite character in this film. Why wouldn’t he be? It’s Idris Elba. He was also Heimdall. The second season of Peacemaker is out now, but there’s also another series you would have to watch in between Peacemaker seasons 1 and 2. It’s an adult animated series called Creature Commandos, and the first season is only seven episodes long. Since you’ve seen Invincible (which is continuing in March), Creature Commandos carries a similar vibe.

Movie Monday. LETS GO 😀

Happy Monday!! Love this one and glad you liked it!!

Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend 😊

Awesome! This movie is fun!
