Classic Movies Live Season 6, Episode 10 – Thunderbolts*
May 14, 2025
This week on Classic Movies Live, our hosts talk about the latest Marvel movie, in which a lovable group of ne’er-do-wells team up to do good, instead of evil. Black Widow, The Sentry, Ghost, John Walker, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster: together, they’re part of a team that shares a name with the in-universe president of the United States (but officially isn’t named after him), the Thunderbolts*!
But you might have heard of them by a different name…
Our hosts break down the MCU’s exciting crack at a Florence Pugh/Lewis Pullman-led supervillain movie. Is this justt The Suicide Squad with a new coat of paint? Or does it stand out as something truly special? Or at least… kind of special?
Also in this episode: has spoiler-culture gotten out of hand? Note that there will be full spoilers for Thunderbolts* here, as we discuss the very nature of spoilers themselves!
Jeff refers to a review by Darren Mooney in this episode, mistakenly attributing it to Stephen Gillespie. Both are fantastic reviewers you should check out!
