All the movie talk lately has been centered on the highly anticipated James Gunn exodus project The Suicide Squad. The latest DC Extended Universe comic book film hit theaters softly and HBO Max a little more squarely this last weekend. The Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, is primed for the big August box office hitter. And with a Marvel Shill on the microphone, this may not be pretty!

For our 21st episode, 25YL film critics, mutually exclusive dads, and sweaty school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan welcome in Mitch Proctor, the captain of the Ruminations Radio Network flagship podcast “Ruminations from the Red Room” to the tiebreaker guest chair. Mitch was very impassioned to share his deep devotion of 1994’s “The Crow” in our format. Catching Don with love is easy, but what did Marvel Shill will have to say about all this dingy darkness?
