Wonder Woman for the Win

Can’t get enough of Wonder Woman?  Neither can I.  Read my short, non-spoiler review of the blockbuster film here.  For a more in depth analysis of the characters and themes from the film, check out the podcast I contributed to with my friend Thomas from Superhero MovieCast!  The first few minutes are non-spoiler overall thoughts, and then we get into the good stuff.  Enjoy!

I'd like to preface this review with the statement that Disney has been on a high kick with movies lately, so my hopes for Into the Woods were pretty high.

Into the Woods is a mash-up musical of fairy-tales. The story follows many, many different characters as protagonists in their own stories, but all intersect. In the woods. Saw that one coming.
