Episode 44: The Suicide Squad movie commentary

Welcome back Squadmates.  Here is Episode 44: The Suicide Squad movie commentary

Now that the Janus Directive is over, we take a break from the comic books, and watch a movie.

Me and Robert Myers (from the podcast Everyone Loves The Drake and Everyone Loves Young Justice), sit down and watch the Extended Cut of the Suicide Squad movie and record our thoughts.

Suicide Squad movie

So, put on some popcorn, pop in the movie and join Robert and myself as we watch the movie and talk about our feelings about it.

When you're done watching the movie, be sure to let me know what you think.

Then once you're done there, head over to Robert's page or download his podcasts and take a listen.

Thank you once again for listening to this episode of Task Force X.

Other news for the Headcast family.

Further down, I'll list all my podcasts like I normally do, but next month (May), things are going to be a little different.

I've been asked to join a great yearly cross over... JLMay.  Every year a bunch of podcasters join together and talk about some Justice League America stories....  This year, they're looking at Blackest Night.  And I'm joining them.

So next month (May), my schedule is going to be a little off.

First Tuesday, we will see Task Force X and Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour.
On Task Force X, we'll look at Suicide Squad 67 and Secret Six 17 & 18.  That same week, on Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, we'll look at Starman 81 (and not the Will Payton one either).

Then on the second Tuesday, Head Speaks will come out and we'll look at Blackest Night issue 4.

Then the third Tuesday, G.I Joe: A Real American Headcast episode 26 will look at the first part of the Snake-Eyes origin.

Finally, the fourth Tuesday, Bravo Team will be released... this episode is entitled "VS".

Then June we're back on our normal schedule (at this point).

As usual, The Headcast Network is where you can find all of my podcasts under one feed.

Over on The Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, where I'll be talking about the Will Payton Starman and Mark Shaw Manhunter comics.

Then, look for Head Speaks,where I'm nearing the end of my multi-episode look at Armageddon 2001 where I have guests from the internet and podcasting world join me every episode.

 The following week, look for G.I. Joe: A Real American Headcast the second week of the month, where we look at G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic from Marvel.

Finally, be sure to return next month and listen as I talk about Suicide Squad and Checkmate..

Again, thanks for listening and be sure to tell people about us. Also write in and let me know what you think of this episode!

Checkmate has tracked a ring of international arms smugglers to the rogue nation of Qurac. They covertly send three knights into the country to meet with local rebel groups. They also kidnap a Quracan minister who reveals that the supply of arms has been consolidated in a central location due to Checkmate's previous operations.

When the time is right, the order is given and the rebel groups begin a campaign of chaos throughout the capital city of Al Kuwait. Checkmate's knights then enter the compound where the weapons are stored and plant explosives. An assassin who has tangled with Checkmate on two other occasions awaits them. He wounds Winston O'Donnell just as he activates the bomb's timer. A female Knight named Beth then kills the assassin. Beth is forced to leave Winston behind to die in the explosion which destroys the weapons.

By the following morning, the Quracan troops have restored order. The rebel uprising fails to unseat President Marlo. However, Checkmate primary mission to destroy the weapons was successful, though it cost them the life of one of their own.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please e-mail me at TaskForceX@HeadSpeaks.com (and you too can be read in Listener Feedback).

If you want you can also send us an MP3 file with your thoughts and I'll play them on the air.

Look for us on Facebook and Google+ (look for Task Force X).
