#Vivo was not even on my radar. This movie snuck up on me and it was genuinely GREAT! I cried my eyes out and the music is super catchy. I can’t believe I’ve not heard of it till I saw it drop on netflix. I can’t wait to rewatch this. Also Vivo is so well designed! Look at him! pic.twitter.com/76PPaXSjMd

Movies Out Now: The Suicide Squad
The Suicide Squad premiered on Friday, August 6th and also began streaming on HBO Max the same night. The cast is absolutely stacked, starring Margot Robbie, John Cena, Pete Davidson, Idris Elba, Sylvester Stalone and so many others.
Our contributing writer, Cassandra Yany, had many thoughts on the film, saying:
The Suicide Squad, on the other hand, immediately drew me in with the opening scene (which I’ll dive into next) and I genuinely cared about each character’s backstory and arc. Overall, I thought that The Suicide Squad was a much more enjoyable watch than the first Suicide Squad. With plenty of action, humor, and touching moments, I think it is perfect for any film lover, not just comic book movie fans.”

Fans sounded off on Twitter about the release of the film.
Believe the hype. THE SUICDE SQUAD is fan-fucking-tastic. Consistently hilarious, gory, entertaining, and it even has real heart. James Gunn is the modern master of the misfit ensemble.

Margot Robbie WAS BADASS in #thesuicdesquad. Harley Quinn Ratcatcher 2, Bloodsport and Polka Dot man stole the show in my opinion

@JohnCena great job in The Suicde Squad my boy. You knocked that one out of the park. ??????

Movies Out Now: Roadrunner
The documentary, Roadrunner, follows the life and career of chef Anthony Bourdain before his sudden death. The film is described as intimate, beautiful and emotional and shows his impact on the world on food and travel.

Roadrunner was a fantastic film. I’m really glad that was my first movie seen in theaters in two years.
