Podcast: Ant-Man and Southpaw

We're spoiling you with two podcasts this week. Yesterday we talked 1995 (to tease the Smackdown). Now, conversations about Marvel's Phase Two ender Ant-Man with Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, and Michael Peña, and the new boxing drama Southpaw starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams.

Contents (43 minutes)
00:01 Marvel's Ant-Man
27:55 Antoine Fuqua's Southpaw
40:00 Coming Attractions: Mistress America & The Finest Hours


You can listen to the podcast here at the bottom of the post or download from iTunes. Continue the conversation!

Do I need to watch these movies before I listen to the podcast?? I really didnt want to watch either of the two but they were worthy enough to get their own podcast, so...

@BVR: To me they're both on the bubble of To See or Not to See. I doubt you'd be sorry within your already-guarded expectations. They are both resolutely fine-ish. Flaws and limits of both i found easy enough to indulge even if I didn't find anything to really warm to, either. In a different season, I doubt they'd headline a podcast. But Nathaniel likes Southpaw better than I do and Joe liked Ant-Man, so I'm just speaking for myself.

Was it this podcast that you discussed movies with big star casts just for the sake of it? I listened to both this and the 1995 one yesterday and can't remember which one you discussed it in.

Anyway, I brought it up because CONTAGION just came on the TV and isn't that just the case? I remember when INSOMNIA came out and people made a big deal out of it having three Oscar winners and now movies routinely have five, six, seven, ten, Oscar winners/nominees plus other big stars.

Glenn-- i can't remember which we discussed it in either because we recorded these two podcasts back to back. :) but yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine that's way underdiscussed. It makes all movies feel like they come from the safe factory, without even the multiple factories that made that feel more home-team inviting (like studio-era hollywood). I just don't get it. It seems like uneccessary budget trauma for movies because once you've got a couple of big names, twice as many aren't going to convince twice as many people to see it. and you have to pay for each one of them.
