EP 39 - THE SUICIDE SQUAD (2021)

"IF THEY HAVE PURPOSE...

While the film didn't do too well at the box office due to the ever-present pandemic and day-and-date streaming on HBO Max, the film received heaps of critical and audience acclaim. So, how does it hold up? Is it truly the first jewel found in the DCEU mines? Come watch with Brian and Alec to find out!
