Listen, we love Deadpool. We think Ryan Reynolds is the brilliant and foul-mouthed antihero we deserve. In fact, we're COMPLETELY behind the first installment of Deadpool (like, almost no scruples at all) and we predict that Deadpool 2 is gonna crush it (whether measured in dollars or giggles or both). 

Come and relive our favorite Deadpool moments with a 2 Minute Recap (that Morgy crushes), games, secret histories, laughs at the expense of other movies and other humans and MORE.

Where does Deadpool stack up in your Marvel faves? What do you think about future potential crossovers? Will Disney keep this film R-rated?! Come and speculate with us!

 

PLUGS:

Josh Brolin in Avengers: Infinity War....he's a Thicc Honey.

This week on the podcast we're talking about sequels & Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is out just in time for summer blockbuster season. We're (sort of) excited for it! We, of course, have some scruples (after all, this is "Beauty and the Bitch: Scruple-Cast"), but we're very excited to see Donald Glover as a young Lando!

Sequels and spin-offs are a big part of the Hollywood landscape right now, so we also discuss these larger trends. Is creativity dead? Do we find the best writing in exploring characters further and elaborating upon fictional worlds, or is the whole practice simply lazy??? MAYBE BOTH? Come catch some feels with Beauty and the Bitch and go see Solo in theaters summer 2018!

 

PLUGS:

"Ear Hustle" podcast: by and about people living in the San Quinten Prison. So fascinating (and much more truthful than many depictions of prison life). Subscribe to it!

"PopCulture Happy Hour" specifically the "Antiques Roadshow Episode": If you ever loved ARS, then this episode will resonate with you!

We both grew up with urban legends that led to sleeplessness, frightening fun with friends, and fear of the dark. These legends vary geographically and the most popular tales change over time as new fears are introduced. Slender Man is a recently developed urban legend that was born on the internet is and, frankly, scary as shit (!!). 

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN?!

Come check out the history of urban legends and the birth of Slender Man with Beauty and the Bitch! This episode covers the forthcoming film featuring Slender Man and the grisly crime that has helped further popularize the legend. 

What are your favorite urban legends? How does Slender Man make you feel on a scale of zero to "OH SHIT GET HIM OUT OF HERE, I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN"?

PLUGS:

For some *great* creepy pasta/micro-horror watch "Lights Out" on YouTube

"Marble Hornets" is a YouTube miniseries that centers on Slender Man (it's one of the main sources of the legend).

It Follows - awesome scary movie that's not too scary!

The Nightmare documentary on Netflix about night terrors and sleep paralysis. This movie is scarier than 90% of horror movies!

Have you heard about these Movies That Never Were?

 

There are many near-miss Hollywood projects that are initially greenlit but eventually founder. Maybe it was a great idea, maybe it even began production...and maybe it dramatically fell apart because of money issues. If it could have been but never was, we're talking about it today!

 

Speculation is our strong suit and throwing around baseless judgement is our mainstay. Join us for a countdown of our top "Movies That Never Were" and help us sort through the wild rumor mill to figure out what doomed them.

Preview: NICOLAS CAGE WAS GOING TO BE SUPERMAN???? 

 

PLUGS: 

 

Mic has been loving Agents of Shield (Check it out on ABC! [or Netflix or HULU, let's be real])

 

Morgan has been loving brackets. Yep. She went there....So, check out your Social Media for people filling out useless brackets. And in the meantime, tell us who wins: Star Wars VS. MCU. #Trending #bullshit
