93: Comic-Booking it Up

Suicide Squad. With the DC Comic movie universe being started in Man of Steel and then continued in Batman v Superman, the third film would be something a bit different as it would not focus on heroes but the villains and finally bring to the screen some of the worst heroes ever. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by the villainous Tristan Riddell to talk about Suicide Squad. We discuss our head space coming into the movie, the cameos, the connective tissue, the characters, themes production and ratings, plus announce the winner for our iTunes review contest!
