Heather: WELL, ANOTHER
SUPERHERO SEQUEL, AND A
FASCINATING DOCUMENTARY ARE ON
AREA SCREENS THIS WEEK.
Tim: HERE TO TELL US ABOUT
"DARK PHOENIX" AND THE EVER
POPULAR "HAIL, SATAN," IS FILM
CRITIC CHUCK!
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE FEEL
GOOD MOVIE OF THE SUMMER, BUT I
COULD BE WRONG.
Guest: YOU COULD BE.
Tim: TRYING TO GET REACTION
WITH THE TITLE, AND THEY DID.
Guest: THAT'S EXACTLY.
THAT'S THE ONE YOU LED WITH ON
THE COMMERCIAL.
INTERESTING.
Tim: IT IS.
IT'S STRIKING.
Guest: IT IS STRIKING.
Tim: SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE
WANT TO START WITH.
Heather: WE'RE GOING TO
START WITH "DARK PHOENIX."
Guest: "DARK PHOENIX," NOT
STRIKING.
Heather: UH-OH.
Guest: NOT STRIKING AT ALL.
THE X-MEN FRANCHISE, THIS IS THE
SEVENTH FILM.
IT'S GOING TO GO ON HIATUS SOON,
BECAUSE 21st CENTURY FOX JUST
BOUGHT DISNEY.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA THEY'RE GOING
TO TAKE A BREAK, BECAUSE THIS IS
A TIRED, TIRED MOVIE.
THIS IS THE SOPHIE TURNER "GAME
OF THRONES" FRANCHISE AND
JENNIFER LAWRENCE PLAYING SECOND
FIDDLE.
SHE'S WENT ON A MISSION AND AN
ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHICH SHE WAS
BATHED WITH A SOLAR FLARE AND
TOOK ITS POWER.
IT'S AN ALIEN FORCE THAT HAS THE
POWER TO REMAKE PLAN NETS AND
REMAKE AN ENTIRE RACE OF BEINGS.
YOU SAW JESSICA CHASTAIN.
SHE WANTS THE POWER TO RESURRECT
HER FELLOW ALIENS BECAUSE
THEY'VE FALLEN BY THE WAYSIDE.
THERE'S PROBLEMS.
SHE CAN'T CONTROL THE POWER.
AND THE OTHER X-MEN, SHE'S A
FRIEND, BUT THEY HAVE TO TREAT
HER LIKE AN ENEMY AS THEY TRY TO
CONTAIN HER.
THE MOVIE HAS A COUPLE OF
INTERESTING POINTS.
AND WE SEE MICHAEL FASTBENDER.
THE WOMAN DRIVE THIS MOVIE,
WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
THAT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE
WITH THE X-MEN.
THIS IS A FEMALE CENTRIC FILM.
WHICH IS INTERESTING.
AS IS THE FACT THAT PROFESSOR
XAVIER AS THE VILLAIN HERE.
HE MANIPULATED PEOPLE TO GET THE
FAME HE WANTED.
THE ACTION IS TIRED.
WE'VE SEEN THIS SO MANY TIMES
BEFORE.
THERE'S A NEW DIRECTOR, SIMON
KINSBERG.
HE BRINGS NO VISUAL FLARE AT
ALL.
IT'S TIME FOR THIS TO GO AWAY.
THERE'S GREAT STORIES TO BE TOLD
YET.
WHEN YOU TALK SUPERHERO FATIGUE,
THIS IS THE MOVIE YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
Tim: DID YOU SAY BATHED WITH
A SOLAR FLARE?
Guest: YES, COMMON PHRASE.
Tim: I DID THAT ONE TIME.
IT WAS AMAZING.
BURNED A LITTLE.
Guest: IT WAS WORTH IT,
RIGHT?
Tim: MOVING ON.
Heather: LET'S TALK "HAIL,
SATAN."
Guest: "HAIL, SATAN,"
DOCUMENTARY.
STARTS FRIDAY.
ABOUT A GROUP CALLED THE SATANIC
TEMPLE, WHICH IS A CHURCH THAT
HAS 50,000 MEMBERS.
YOU SEE ONE OF THE MEMBERS
MAKING A SPECTACLE OF THEMSELVES
ON THE TOWN HALL.
THIS TITLE AND THE FACT THAT
THEY REFER TO THEMSELVES AS THE
SATANIC TEMPLE IS DONE FOR A
REASON, TO CALL ATTENTION TO
THEMSELVES.
THEY BOUGHT A HOUSE, IN ALL
PLACES SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, AND
THEY PAINT THE HOUSE BLACK.
THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT TO GAIN
ATTENTION.
BUT THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK
THEY ARE.
THEY'RE NOT SACRIFICING SMALL
ANIMALS.
THERE'S NO BLOOD RITES OR
ANYTHING.
THESE ARE VERY CONCERNED
CITIZENS WHO ARE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS.
AND TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS A
VOICE WITHIN OUR SOCIETY.
YOU MIGHT FIND THEM ONE WEEKEND
STARTING UP A BLOOD DRIVE.
YOU MIGHT FIND THEM STARTING UP
A DRIVE FOR FOOD FOR THE LOCAL
FOOD PANTRY.
THESE ARE VERY CONCERNED
CITIZENS VERY MUCH CONCERNED
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE
HAS A VOICE IN THIS COUNTRY OF
OURS!
IT'S A VERY INTERESTING FILM.
AND AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THE TITLE
IS SUGGESTIVE, AND EX-EMPLOY --
EXPLOITIVE.
IT'S ABOUT US HAVING A VOICE.
Heather: IT'S A LEGIT
DOCUMENTARY?
Guest: YES, A LEGIT
DOCUMENTARY AND LEGIT GROUP.
