On this week’s podcast, Glenn and Daniel venture back in time with director Chris Roberti to a time when we could all gather aboard a cruise ship and secretly shoot a romantic comedy about time-traveling assassins, with Same Boat, which hits VOD on Tuesday 4/7. We also catch up with Birds of Prey, an impressive return to the brightest and most colorful parts of the DCEU after a whole lot of grimdark, and actor Ben Affleck‘s spotty attempt to do the same, with The Way Back (01:06:21).

Show notes:

• [02:38] Review: Birds of Prey
• [22:46] Review: Same Boat
• [34:13] Spoilers: Same Boat
• [47:04] Review: The Way Back
• There is a super-quick spoiler section at the end of the episode for The Way Back. You’ll know it when it comes.
• Music for this episode is a song that I’ve always maintained is about time-traveling assassins, plus a Barracuda.
• We mentioned Mick LaSalle‘s scathing review of Birds of Prey from the San Francisco Chronicle – to varying degrees, we did not agree!
• Stay tuned at the end for an audio artifact that occurred during a break in recording that sounded suspiciously like Daniel threatening to cut off Glenn’s face.
