Free GuyWatch-along with Chris Ryan
Sean's least favorite of the show's three watch-alongs, behind Zack Snyder's Justice League and Tenet. Amanda and Chris are seeing it cold. Jodie Comer gets the praise; Taika Waititi's mugging gets the blame. By the last act the movie is stuffed with Marvel/Star Wars cameo bait (Captain America's shield, a lightsaber), which the group takes as proof it sold out its own premise about corporate IP eating everything good.
