The Pundits are back after a short vacation 'slash' summer break.  Unfortunately we get side tracked talking about Warner Bros and DC's latest WTF moment, Suicide Squad.  Cody & Mark both witnessed this train wreck and can't help but ask...what the actual eff?!  If you're a fan of these movies then we're very happey for you, but for us we're saddened and want better.  We touch on this, the Olympics, some new trailers including Rogue One.  We also waste our time reading a fake or not fake letter from an ex WB employee so you don't have to.

This is a more political heavy discussion.  The Republican National Convention is looking like a straight up circus or ish show.  Donald Trump continues to sell nothing but fear, fear, fear.  The Box office continues to tumble.  Stranger Things comes highly recommended by both Pundits.  Ted Cruz showed some balls.  Bernie?  Hmm.  Wikileaks droped some DNC e-mails that showed they were in favor of HRC...and Mark isn't happy at all!  We dig into this and a little more on this (shortened) episode of the Pop Pundits!

NON SPOILER REVIEW....Captain America Civil War is here, and both of the Pundits saw it on opening night.  So how does it stack up to other super hero fare?  We'll dive into our thoughts on this, and we steer clear of any major spoilers.  We also discuss how it relates, or compares to BVS since contextually these films share more than you might think.  After that Mark has to leave early so Cody's wife Peggy sits in to chat Civil War, Valentine's Day the movie, Robert Downy Jr's career, and the appeal of quirky romantic comedies.

The new trailer for Civil War dropped, and it might have created a nerd Civil War.  Mark saw 10 Cloverfield Lane and really liked it.  Both Pundits really enjoyed Zooptopia.  Go See it.  Mark also made a bet that 10 Cloverfield Lane would make $35M during it's opening weekend.  We'll see about that.  We touch on this and all the Trump craziness going on this week.
