Critically Acclaimed #28: Green Lantern and The Untouchables

Before he was Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds starred in GREEN LANTERN, an attempt to jumpstart a DC Extended Universe, whose failure led to the relatively gritty DCEU we have today. It’s a notorious superhero movie failure, and now it’s a heck of a punchline in the blockbuster DEADPOOL 2. So why is it the perfect double feature with Brian De Palma’s staggeringly thrilling Prohibition Era gangster blockbuster THE UNTOUCHABLES? You’ll find out in this week’s episode, and you’ll also get reviews of the new releases DEADPOOL 2, CARGO and FAHRENHEIT 451! Welcome back to Critically Acclaimed, where highbrow and lowbrow collide! Every week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review a BAD movie of YOUR choice and pair it with a GREAT movie of THEIR choice, to make an awesome and enlightening double feature.
