Episode 110 - Scorsese V. Marvel

Martin Scorsese recently went on record to state that superhero movies – more specifically, Marvel movies – are “not cinema” and nothing more than “amusement park rides.” To the legendary filmmaker behind movie classics like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas & Raging Bull we only have this to say: Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. But one thing is certain, he touched a nerve with filmgoers and started a worthy conversation about the state of the cineplex today. He maybe didn’t choose the best phrasing, and old white guys yelling at kids to get off their lawns is not always a good look when trying to make a point. But hey, Scorsese has still made some kickass films and is legit one of the greatest living directors, so he can say whatever he wants. It just so happens that we can also disagree with him, too. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:20 - Gotham (Fox, 2019) | 10:25 - Hercule Poirot | 18:30 - Adventurous Stills | 19:25 - Gemini Man (2019) | 26:50 - Scorsese V.
