Theme: Sequels Better Than the Original Hosts: Oz & Curtis
This week, Oz and Curtis kick off a brand-new year and a brand-new theme with a movie marriage so gloriously chaotic it could only belong to Taika Waititi. Curtis pitches Men in Black: International meets Gladiator with a hearty scoop of Step Brothers, and frankly? He nailed it. That perfect cinematic smoothie leads to Thor: Ragnarok — the only MCU sequel bold enough to ditch Shakespearean drama, replace it with neon chaos, and turn Thor from “wooden space god” into “himbo of the cosmos.”
Join your two favorite members of the Let’s Talk About Flix-verse as they unpack:
How Thor goes from moody god-prince to full-blown comedy machine the second he starts monologuing to a dead skeleton.
Why Loki’s undercover “Odin” performance deserves an Asgardian Tony Award, especially for the Matt Damon cameo.
How Hela is the most aggressive surprise sibling since Empire Strikes Back, but with way better eyeliner.
Why Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster feels less like a villain and more like the world’s most chaotic cruise director.
How the Hulk becomes a two-year-old with vocabulary and anger management issues — and somehow that’s character development.
Why the Immigrant Song bridge fight might be the single coolest thing ever put on film by anyone not named George Miller.
From Valkyrie’s drunken entrance to Korg’s revolution pamphlets, from “He’s a friend from work!” to Loki once again proving he is the worst best brother, Oz and Curtis walk through a sequel that didn’t just improve the Thor franchise — it resurrected it from the dead.
Final Verdict
Oz — 10 Revolution Pamphlets Curtis — 1 Big Disappointed Hulk Both — Still wondering how the quinjet sat untouched on a trash planet for two years.
