About this episode

The Binge Buddies discuss the film Wonder Woman, exploring its themes, characters, and notable sequences while addressing its flaws.

The Binge Buddies are stepping onto the battlefield, and we're taking a look at a modern superhero classic—problematic third act and all. Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are shedding the grimdark shadows of Gotham and Metropolis to bask in the radiant glory of 2017's Wonder Woman. Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot completely revitalized the DCEU with this sweeping, hopeful World War I epic, but the guys aren't holding back on the elephant in the trenches. Join the crew as they celebrate the breathtaking No Man's Land sequence, the incredible chemistry between Diana and Chris Pine's Steve Trevor, and the film's status as a milestone for the genre—before diving headfirst into that messy, CGI-heavy, mustache-twirling Ares finale. Grab your Lasso of Truth and hit play; it's time to find out if love can truly save the world!
