Oldboy is still playing in theaters all this week if the crew wants to reconsider reviewing it. I'm seeing it tomorrow at an AMC theater

Hi, Mostly agree with your review of Blue Beetle. I may have liked it a bit more than you guys because as a Chilean person, I did enjoy all the references to Latin American pop culture. For example, the animated super hero that appeared during the movie and during the second end-credit scenes, is El Chapulin Colorado. In its original form it’s part of a live action comedy show from Mexico called Chespirito where El Chapulin is just one of the many iconic characters that appeared in that show. If you grew up in Latin America during the 80s, you grew up with those characters. The movie also uses very famous Spanish speaking music. My favorite is the song that comes at the very end of the movie when Jaime and Jenny kiss. It’s a song from Argentinian band Soda Stereo, which again, if you grew up in Latin America in the 80s/90s you probably grew up with their music.
