Deadpool & Wolverine

Aussie and the Scotsman talk movies

This week we are reviewing the 2024 American superhero comedy film Deadpool & Wolverine directed by Shawn Mendes.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman respectively star as Wade Wilson / Deadpool and Logan / Wolverine, alongside a cavalcade of star cameos.

In the film, Deadpool learns that the Time Variance Authority is set to destroy his universe and partners with a reluctant Wolverine from another universe to stop them.

The plot is paper thin but we are not watching for the plot. We are watching for the Reynolds/Jackman combo.

Their chemistry is off the charts, the in-jokes hilarious and the 4th wall conversations have just the right amount of charm.

This is not our usual kind of film - the Scotsman refers back to their business contract clause which states "we should only be reviewing old classic, nostalgic movies" - not current superhero movies. As you can see he loses that battle.

We argue over Hugh Jackman (55) and ex-wife Deborah Furness (68) age for some reason and we discuss the gibes the various characters have at their respective studios.

Despite hamming it up in the socials these two have been friends for years. This is the best superhero movie since End Game.

Definitely worth watching at the movies before you listen - if you don't want us to spoil it for you.
