80. ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA (2023) dir. Peyton Reed

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA is exactly what you think it is: a big, dumb roller coaster ride where you whiz past crowds of aliens on the way to save your family [I mean, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), Cassie (Kathryn Newton from what must be Earth 615, because where's Emma Fuhrmann from AVENGERS: ENDGAME?), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) & Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) aren't your real blood, but they make you feel at home.].There's a big bad in Kang (Jonathan Majors), known in this Quantum Realm as The Conqueror. He's dope, and Majors flexes different muscles than he does in LOKI. The range grows ever stronger.Throw in some life lessons about standing up for the little guy and this movie rejoices in the spirit of a matinee, a B-movies, a Saturday morning cartoon. Make superheroes fun again! Fuck the continuity. ALL my homies hate continuity.Sidebar: A huge thanks to my friend Kami for asking me to cover this movie! ❤️---------------------------Review THE MOVIES on Apple Podcasts & I'll read it on the next episode!Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
