What happens when you mix irreverent humor, ultraviolence, and a heart of gold? You get "Deadpool," of course! This week on We Recommend, we're diving headfirst into the foul-mouthed anti-hero's world. What makes Deadpool such an iconic departure from traditional superhero fare? Is it the gut-busting humor, the brutal action scenes, or Ryan Reynolds' perfect portrayal? We get into all of that and more, including our excitement for "Deadpool 3" and its awesome inclusion of Wolverine. Plus, we reminisce about our favorite superheroes like Flash, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, and Punisher, celebrating what makes each one special.

Let's talk about the epic journey that brought "Deadpool" to the big screen. With Ryan Reynolds' unwavering dedication, including keeping the writers on set and his Make-A-Wish involvement, the film's creation is a story worth telling. Did you know the clever parody titles in the opening credits and the choice of Negasonic Teenage Warhead's name added to its charm? We also touch on the film's box office triumph, raking in over $100 million on its opening weekend from a thrifty $58 million budget. And, of course, we can't forget the leaked test footage that finally convinced the studio to greenlight the film. It's a testament to smart budgeting and creative decisions that led to its massive success.

Ever wondered how Wade Wilson's emotional journey and relentless quest for revenge unfold? Brace yourself as we break down the plot, from his cancer diagnosis to his transformation into Deadpool, and the unforgettable final showdown. We'll laugh about the iconic bullet countdown, Wade's unconventional methods, and his budding romance with Vanessa. Plus, get ready for a detailed look at the epic battle on the helicarrier and the hilarious interactions between Deadpool, Colossus, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. As we wrap up, we'll share our final thoughts on the movie's balance of comedy, violence, and heart. Don't miss our reflections on post-credit scenes and the morality of our anti-hero's actions.

What makes "Twister" a timeless classic in the world of disaster films? We're taking you on a whirlwind journey through the 90s, as we passionately recommend this exhilarating storm-chasing adventure and compare it to other action-packed movies like "Speed." Our discussion is filled with personal tornado experiences, playful critiques of Cariel Elwes' accent, and musings about the film's impact on the fascination with tornadoes. Plus, we even entertain the idea of a mini-episode on the worst accents in movie history!

Get ready for some behind-the-scenes chaos! This episode uncovers the real-life dangers and mishaps faced by the cast and crew of "Twister," from temporary blindness to the on-set tensions with director Jan De Bont. We speculate on how Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock might have fit into the lead roles and reminisce about the Twister attraction at Universal Studios. Bill Paxton's lasting legacy in Wakita, Oklahoma, and the heartfelt tribute paid to him by storm chasers after his passing in 2017 also get a heartfelt nod.

Join us as we explore the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous relationship between Bill and Joe, the colorful characters of Joe's storm-chasing team, and their rivalry with Dr. Jonas Miller's crew. From the flying cow to the dramatic scenes on the bridge, we break down the film's most iconic moments. We also reflect on Melissa's realization of Bill's dangerous passion, the comforting visit to Aunt Meg's house, and the poignant breakup scene that blends action and emotion beautifully. To top it all off, we suggest pairing "Twister" with other disaster classics for the ultimate movie marathon.

What if one movie could capture the essence of '90s action cinema and still keep you on the edge of your seat today? This week on the "We Recommend" podcast, we return to the high-octane world of "Speed" and share our journey from childhood awe to adult appreciation. Hear our take on Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock's electric chemistry, fueled by Joss Whedon's sharp dialogue, and Dennis Hopper's unforgettable performance as the quirky villain that added a perfect dash of humor to the thrilling tension.

Ever wondered what makes a great movie villain stand out? We dive into Dennis Hopper's iconic roles in the '90s, breaking down his masterful portrayal of antagonists from "Blue Velvet" to "Super Mario Brothers," and how his unique style enriched "Speed." We also compare the exhilarating bus sequences and clever plot twists of "Speed" to its lackluster sequel, "Speed 2: Cruise Control," while revealing behind-the-scenes trivia that could have changed the film's dynamic. From the iconic bus jump to Keanu's stunt dedication, we've got plenty of Hollywood action movie gossip to keep you captivated.

Join us as we break down "Speed's" most intense scenes—from the elevator hostage crisis to the high-speed bus bomb threat, and the nail-biting freeway jump. Celebrate with us the relentless pacing and gripping action that make this film a timeless classic. We also touch on the tragic yet motivating loss of Harry and the humorous yet high-stakes moments that define the movie.
