Episode 134: SHAZAM

Shazam! isn't an intensely popular DC franchise, so it was  surprising to see it getting a fairly early release in the DCEU. But  most of DC's bigger franchises have already been busts, with Batman and  Superman getting poor reception and the Justice League going down in  flames. So why not let Shazam out of the bag? We were pleasantly  surprised with how well this movie captures the fun, fairly lighthearted  spirit of the character, and we talk about Zachary Levi's portrayal,  the juxtaposition between emo kid Billy Batson and his superhero  alter-ego, Mark Strong wearing sunglasses everywhere he goes, and more!  Spoilers: both of us were quite taken with this one.
