End Credits #340 - May 8, 2024 (The Fall Guy)
Manage episode 417468522 series 2363333
This week on End Credits, we're doing endings and beginnings. On the subject of the latter, we're talking about a new movie that officially marks the first release of the Summer Movie season, a little - but big - movie called The Fall Guy. As for those endings, we will talk about the current state of the franchise that used to launch every summer, and why it's struggling.
This Wednesday, May 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:
The Blame Endgame. It's been five years since the release of Avengers: Endgame, the pinnacle of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No Marvel Studios movie has every been as successful, before or since, and while some of that blame can fall on the pandemic and the strikes, part of it is probably a loss of direction since the series reached it's natural conclusion in Endgame. To begin this week's show, we'll start with the End and everything after.
REVIEW: The Fall Guy (2024). Summer begins with throwback, a good, old-fashioned action movie with an emphasis on stunts and practical effects, plus it's got romance and humour. It's also self-referential and takes place against the backdrop of the movie business, and it's based on an cult favourite 80s TV show. It's also got the star-power of Ryan Gosling, newly minted as "Kenough", plus his fellow 2024 Oscar nominee Emily Blunt as his partner in crime, but with so much going for this movie, how can it possibly deliver, and why does it still manage to deliver?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
