Full Leaked Review of Endgame
Description
Nah, I'm April foolin'!
Sorry for that deception (or was it click-bait?) but yes, it is April Fools today. I'm going to talk a little bit about how annoying this day makes people, but there'll be legitimate content in there too. Plus I guarantee you didn't know it was Susan Boyle's birthday! I'll even share from my own sordid past of botched (but well meant) pranks.
At the 24:00 minute mark the podcasts talks about CinemaSins and the awesome content they put out. I'd post their links, but I'm pretty confident in you listeners being able to Google it. They have a great YouTube channel, Podcast, Patreon and pretty much anything else you could have. I love their brand to bits, and they form a sort of Triforce of movie understanding, reviewing and critiquing when those 3 gentlemen get together.
And if you were living under a rock again this week, take note; Endgame tickets are on sale. And it's utter madness out there. I got up at 4AM to buy me and my group's tickets. I had set a google search notification for keywords like "Endgame + tickets + Toronto" etc. I scanned the news and was a diligent (and obsessed) fan who wanted to watch the movie when it first released. And it breaks my heart to see that there's so many people unable to get tickets because of website crashes, shutdowns etc. But, don't start blaming theaters, the Russo Brothers, or anyone else if you waited until a few days later to get your tickets. Of course they'll be sold out. I mentioned to someone at work I had my tickets, and the annoying response of "oh that's lucky, I couldn't get mine" makes my eye twitch. It's not "lucky" fam, I put the hours and effort in to be ahead of the curve. Gotsta see my Cap, yo.
Anyway guys, in a perfect world I'd snap my Gauntlet fingers and double the amount of showings and seats available. But unfortunately it is the way it is. And overall this whole exercise has showed me just how much movies are changing. Gone are the days when you can casually show up and expect tickets. You can't even line up 10 hours early to be the first in and grab good seats (as I did for the original Avengers release). It's all online, and it's all becoming a busy nightmare.
Again thanks for listening guys. I'll probably put another episode out in a few days. In the meantime, let's keep fingers crossed for warmer weather. It's April, and I'm not exaggerating that it's still snowing in Toronto!
Cheers.
