CINEMA CRAPTACULUS 62 "Thunder Force"

TV writer and playwright, Meghan Pleticha joins Steph, John & Dave for some super powered fun! Today we’re thundering through a thoroughly modern take on the traditional superhero outing, where two BFFs are given the chance to pull on super suits and kick some serious ass. Put your crab claws in the air for THUNDERFORCE! Two school outcasts, Lydia (Melissa McCarthy) and Emily (Octavia Spencer) are a modern-day odd couple. Lydia always wants to have fun and Emily always wants to study. But in a world filled with super villains, having fun isn’t always the responsible thing to do – especially when it gets in the way of Emily’s life long dream to create a serum that would make everyday people into super heroes. Cut to 15 years and one friendship estrangement later, Emily has created that serum. The only problem is that ever bumbling Lydia accidentally took it. Now these former besties have to team up to take on the nefarious politician and super-villain – The King. Thus forming the world’s first super human team – THUNDER FORCE!!
