Zack Snyder's Justice League // Jared Leto | Review & Discussion - Ep. 29

This week on Chain Link Theater, we're trading the neon-drenched streets of Los Angeles for a massive, FOUR-HOUR comic book marathon! We’re following Jared Leto from his chilling, god-complex turn as the blind replicant creator Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049 into a bleak, dust-choked "Knightmare" timeline as we trace his surprising appearance in the 2021 fan-demanded epic, Zack Snyder's Justice League. Neither of us had ever seen the Snyder Cut before this week. We dive into the sheer scale of Snyder's uncompromised 4:3 vision, the signature slow-motion action, Tom Holkenborg's booming score, and how this seemingly impossible director's cut managed to completely rewrite the legacy of its messy theatrical predecessor. We even talk about the looming, terrifying threat of Darkseid... Grab your Mother Box, and cue the ancient lamentation music.

Blade Runner 2049 // Edward James Olmos | Review & Discussion - Ep. 28

This week on Chain Link Theater, we're staying in the rain-swept, neon-drenched streets of Los Angeles for 30 years! We’re following Edward James Olmos from his mysterious, origami-folding role as Gaff in the original classic into the bleak, breathtaking future as we trace his return in Denis Villeneuve's 2017 sci-fi epic, Blade Runner 2049. We’re talking about his brief but impactful reprisal, alongside Ryan Gosling's haunting performance as Officer K and the long-awaited return of Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard. We dive into Roger Deakins' mind-blowing cinematography, the pulse-pounding score, and how this seemingly impossible sequel managed to beautifully expand on the philosophical questions of its predecessor. We even talk about what really constitutes a soul... and whether or not Joi's holographic love is truly real. Recite your baseline, and fire up your spinner. Let's go find the miracle.

Welcome to the very first episode of Unvaulted! This week, we are cracking open the Patreon vault and traveling back to the year 2000 to talk about the film that single-handedly kicked off the modern superhero craze: X-Men. We’re trading in massive cinematic universes for the wild west of early CGI, practical wirework, and very black, very leather suits. Join us as we break down the legendary, dueling gravitas of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, explore the mutant metaphor that brought real weight to comic book movies, and witness Hugh Jackman’s star-making, iconic debut as the definitive Wolverine. (We also get into some strong opinions regarding the Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey dynamic). Zip up your flight suit and fire up the Blackbird. It’s time to head to the X-Mansion.
