Summary
The hierarchy of power in the DCEU didn’t just change—it completely collapsed, and the Binge Buddies are crashing down hard into the wreckage. > Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." After riding high for two straight weeks on some genuinely fantastic superhero cinema, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are hitting a massive brick wall with 2022's Black Adam. Dwayne Johnson spent a decade hyping up this passion project, only to deliver what might just be the absolute worst, most soulless entry in the entire franchise. The guys are pulling no punches as they dissect the agonizingly bland action, the relentless over-use of slow-motion, the painfully forced comic relief, and the structural nightmare of introducing the Justice Society with zero buildup. But amidst the flaming dumpster fire of a script, we have to give credit where it's due: the absolute class, charisma, and saving grace that is Pierce Brosnan's incredible performance as Doctor Fate. Grab your magic amulet and hit play—we're trying to survive the sheer ego of the Rock's ultimate cinematic misfire!
