The Flash in the Pan: When Filmgoers Decided DC stands for, I Don’t Care.

The Flash, the latest comic book summer tent movie arrived and imploded. What went wrong? Why did audiences turn away in droves? Jim saw the movie, and he provided Teal with a report. Could over-priced admissions to a Liemax theater be a reason to consider? Also, why did Disney seemingly cut six seconds from the Academy Award-winning French Connection? And why is Discovery Warner Brothers CEO, David Zaslav bent on proving how much he hates movies by chopping the heads off the brain trust at TCM (Turner Classic Movies)?

This week Jim and Teal cover all this, poorly constructed deep-sea submersibles, and Hungarian cinematic master, Bela Tarr. Jim completed his BFI Top 250 Greatest films Challenge, by seeing all 264 films on the list. And Teal was up to a bit of a challenge himself, as he completed Bela Tarr’s Satantango, a seven hour and twenty minute masterwork that Teal watched all in one sitting.

There’s a lot to cover, so get set for a thrill ride of movie fun on this week’s podcast episode.

Did you see The Flash? Have you watched Satantango? Have you visited the gravesite of Titanic via underwater submersible? Let us know.
