The 42cast Episode 118: Just a Cut to the Left

July 19, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Justice League Snyder CutJustice League was released to theaters in 2017. However, the result left many audience goers unhappy. As the culmination of plotlines that Zack Snyder had started in Man of Steel and Justice League it seemed to fall short. The more humorous tone that the studio wanted was at odds tonally with what had gone before leaving many fans of Snyder’s work unhappy. Since that time there have been calls to release Snyder’s original cut of the movie. With HBO Max looking for new content they paid Snyder to complete his cut, which they released as a 4-hour long film. In this episode we look into the Snyder cut. We discuss its differences with the theatrical version as well as how it fits in as the third movie in Snyder’s vision. We also ask if WB should return to Snyder’s vision based on this cut and whether the Ayer cut of Suicide Squad should be released.

Since the main topic was already controversial, there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Mark, Lucas, and James join the cast.

July 13, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Star TrekStar Trek is arguably the most influential science-fiction franchise of all time. The series that almost didn’t make it after a failed pilot got its second chance and rose to international success that has lasted for more than 50 years. In this episode we delve into the idea of what makes the concept of Star Trek so special. We also discuss what aspects of this show have stood up to the test of time. We discuss favorite characters and how the pop culture perception of Kirk is completely wrong. We also talk about our favorite episodes. We also get into the various spinoffs with this cast such as Star Trek: The Animated Series and fan productions, Star Trek Continues and Star Trek New Voyages.

In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask if Bill Maher’s comments about the passing of Stan Lee were in good taste.

This week Stephanie is cohost, and Gary and Michael join the cast.
