·42 min·2 clips

Jordan calls Deadpool & Wolverine "masterpiece comedy" after the Logan grave fight.

1. Zero Dark Nerdy’s Deadpool & Wolverine review focuses on the MCU film’s spoilers, cameos, and theatrical release weekend. 2. Brian hosts the episode with Kyle and Jordan, and Jordan saw the movie with Hattie before joining the conversation. 3. The episode asks whether Deadpool & Wolverine works as a buddy comedy, a Wolverine showcase, and an MCU bridge. 4. Brian opens with box-office numbers, including a $205 million U.S. debut and $438 million globally. 5. He also says the MCU crossed $30 billion globally and that Deadpool 1 and Deadpool 2 each set earlier R-rated records. 6. The hosts discuss Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox, the X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four. 7. Jordan says the Logan grave fight sequence with NSYNC was her favorite part and calls it "masterpiece comedy." 8. Kyle says the movie finally gives Wolverine action scenes that feel like the character’s full potential. 9. Brian argues the film connects to the MCU mainly through the TVA and does not require viewers to watch every Disney+ show. 10. The conversation returns several times to whether the trailers revealed too much, especially X-23. 11. Brian says Cassandra Nova, Charles Xavier’s sister, felt underused even though the actress did well. 12. Kyle says the film avoided wasting a major villain and handled the big bad more carefully than many comic-book movies. 13. The hosts praise the soundtrack, naming "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, "Hell’s Bells" by AC/DC, "Glamorous" by Fergie, and several Madonna, Avril Lavigne, and Huey Lewis tracks. 14. Brian and Jordan single out the Dogpool and Nice Pool material as some of the funniest variant jokes. 15. Kyle talks about the Johnny Storm reveal and the way the film uses cameos without making them feel like the whole point. 16. Jordan and Brian both mention that the movie’s action and callbacks make it highly rewatchable on TV or at a bar. 17. The tone is loose, spoiler-heavy, and conversational, with frequent interruptions and side jokes. 18. The format is a live three-person review with rankings, trailer talk, soundtrack notes, and comic-book references. 19. Best for Marvel viewers who know Logan and Deadpool. 20. Skip if you want spoiler-free or non-franchise movie talk.
