Episode 4: Zack Snyder's Justice League / Superhero Cinema

#TheSnyderCut is here! The Brothers offer a roundtable discussion of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, focusing on how it compares to the 2017 theatrical cut, its thematic and formal approach, and how it fits into Zack Snyder’s cinematic interests. Afterwards, they broaden the discussion to comment on the state of superhero cinema, particularly in reference to Martin Scorsese’s articles about superhero movie dominance.
