After four years of social media campaigning, Zack Snyder and his legion of fans are celebrating the release of the “Justice League” Director’s Cut, aka the Snyder Cut. Clocking in at four hours long, this is a superhero epic unlike anything else before it. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any good. And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, the hosts break down as much of this behemoth as humanly possible. Buckle up, folks.
“Zack Snyder’s Justice League” has finally hit HBO Max, and now, everyone can sit back and take the trip into the mind of a filmmaker that was given $70 million to finish a four-year-old film that was a box office bomb and critically maligned. Did he make something better than what Joss Whedon turned in? Is the wait worth it? And what the hell is up with those epilogues? Like with most things pertaining to this film project, there are no easy answers.
And in the spirit of four-hour superhero films, this episode of The Playlist Podcast is super-sized as well, mainly because it’s nearly impossible to truly discuss this film, spoilers and all, in an hour. You can hear the full discussion below:
