"Death is but a door. Time is but a window. We’re back for 2016!"

Ok, so I took a little liberty with that notable quote from Ghostbusters 2, but felt it appropriately fitting considering the subject matter of this extra extended installment of the Wild Wild Podcast.

 

 

Dead is the new living as Spunky Destructor and I dive chimichanga first into Hollywood’s newest tight-suited darling, Deadpool, only to then hold each other’s hand as we venture out into the zombie horde that was the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead’s sixth season.  (It should be noted that my hand almost suffered the exact fate of a certain someone in said premiere once Spunky realize I was holding hers.)

 

 

If listening to the sound of my voice gives you indigestion (and I wouldn’t blame you), my quick recap on Deadpool is as follows; to die for. Seriously, if this was last you film you had the chance to ingest before going to that great comic-book store in the sky, you’d go out laughing.

[NOTE: I’m not condoning any type of self-Kevorkian type theater events, so please don’t take my over exaggerated review to heart.]

 

 

However, if you can only see one movie all year, do yourself a favor and reevaluate why you’ve limited yourself to viewing only one 2 hour film production over a 365 day period. Should that assessment prove fruitless, then I guess Deadpool would make a pretty solid option for your solo choice. As the biggest opening R-rated movie of all time in the money dept, the movie-going community also makes for a persuasive argument.  Be careful about bringing the youngins though, as that R rating is a hard one. Anyone under the age of 18 or with a weak ticker may want to stay home and fire up season one of the Golden Girls.

 

 

As someone who has only had limited exposure to Deadpool  – which arguably might be a good thing – it’s a true testament to the writers, director and Ryan Reynolds himself that they nailed the character to a an absolute tee. Without a doubt in my mind, Reynolds was born to play Deadpool and Deadpool was born to be played by Ryan Reynolds.

 

 

On the other side of the entertainment medium, another popular franchise about blood and death made its spring midseason debut on none other than Valentine’s Day. An interesting choice to fire back up one of television’s most popular shows, but if you’ve watched the first offering of The Walking Dead’s second season already, then you know it was oddly suiting for a reason we chat about on the show.

Going back to podcast #32, Spunky and I both felt this season’s premiere in October may have been one of the most ambitious episodes The Walking Dead has embarked on to date. On that note, being  we also agreed this episode made the previously mentioned premiere look like an installment of Sesame Street, should provide some insight into just how bloody insane the sixth season’s second half operner truly is.

 

 

Fittingly, the intensity, action, and emotion were all cranked up to sixth gear for what felt like the entirety of the episode. Being it the sweat dripping off my forehead, the tears being expelled from my eye sockets, or the…. well, anyway, let’s just say I had liquid exiting almost every orifice of my body. The physical reactions I experienced are even more amazing considering I had a fairy good idea the events were going to unfold well before they even transpired on screen.
