Culture Gabfest: Deadpool & Wolverine #%&$ the Box Office
Manage episode 431564712 series 2355368
On this week’s show, the panel is joined by Jamelle Bouie (New York Times Opinion columnist and Friend of the Pod) to discuss Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel’s R-rated superhero flick starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman that’s dominating at the box office. Then the four assess the onslaught of Kamala Harris memes sweeping the internet right now and the role social media will play in this year’s upcoming election. Finally, Julia, Dana, and Steve puzzle over Eno, a new documentary chronicling Brian Eno’s 50-year career as a visionary musician and artist that’s different every time it’s shown.
Mentioned in this episode:
- “Deadpool’s obnoxious gay panic humour is a tiresome schoolyard taunt” (Guy Lodge, The Guardian. July 26, 2024.)
- Upcoming screenings of Eno
In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel answers a listener question from Rob about assigned seating in movie theaters.
