Description

Oh you know what's going on this weekend.

Unless you live under an Amish roof, you'll probably  realize that Endgame is finally here. All that wait, buildup and suspense is finally going to be paid off. I get a bit sentimental thinking about how Infinity War made such an impression on me, it pushed me into finally making my podcast. And here we are now for the second part of the dream. Anyway, as you'll hear me rant on about, there's no need to treat this as a review, recommend or warn. "Go see it". Even if you're "not a superhero movie fan" (fucking casuals). There's not been a movie event like this in our lifetime, and I hope everyone gets to experience the hype. My ticket has been burning a hole in my pocket for weeks, so I can't wait for tomorrow. I'll be filling my time well after the movie, because I'm going to take some time for a long, deep dive into the return of *drum roll*... the Avengers x Fortnite crossovers! Oh man, this is/was my jam. I mean, statistically those are the two topics that come up the most on my channel, maybe neck and neck with Batman. Anyway, last time they had the Infinity Gauntlet, and turning into Thanos was delightful. I can't wait to see what's in this LTM, and it's probably the only game mode they could have chosen to replace airplanes in terms of fun. I hope I can land in Tilted and find cool Avengers items, like Colson's bloody trading cards. You know the good stuff. It makes me genuinely happy that these crossovers are a product of the Russo Bros (and several cast members) all actually being huge fans of the game. It's a fun game.

Also, Shazam is such a treat. You'll hear me rave about it in the pod, but just know that it's a fun, exciting movie that's actually a unique take on the superhero tale. Which is hard in this world of content saturation. Spending equal amounts of time between likable new characters and a great villain really set it up to be a fantastic watch. As a Torontonian I delighted in seeing the landmarks, key sights and transit system in film. Especially because through my work I'm starting to work with Toronto location scouting for film and tv, so it's really inspiring. The big red cheese finally made it to the big screen! Also, Mark Strong is fantastic. Someone get him more villain roles.

Lastly let's talk GoT; The Night King cometh, so good luck Winterfell. I can only imagine how awesome this episode is going to be, and it'll probably be a non stop ride until the end of the show. I'll bet you $5 we see a blue-eyed Hodor. 

Have an awesome weekend, take it all in, and most importantly AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
