VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics assemble once again to wade through Venom: Let There Be Carnage!
In director Andy Serkis' sequel to the surprise 2018 smash hit, sad-sack indie journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) must reckon with a savage alien that has melded with his body. Woody Harrelson pops up as death row inmate Cletus Cassidy, who gets a taste of Brock's powers and begins a citywide rampage of revenge and twisted love.
Watch as the gang dissects the good, the bad, and the gooey--including bizarre performances from Oscar-caliber actors; a troubling sense that the filmmakers don't actually respect the character at the heart of their movie; and a tonal inconsistency that could spell big trouble when this pocket Sonyverse collides with the greater Disney/Marvel brand!
In a surprise twist, one of Earth's Mightiest Critics didn't even see the movie, yet still had some of the episode's most spot-on takes!
