In this episode Mark talks about "Zack Snyder's Justice League", the four hour long, 2021 directors cut of the 2017 American superhero film "Justice League" - featuring the DC Comics superhero team the Justice League, which consists of Batman/Bruce Wayne (played by Ben Affleck), Superman/Clark Kent (played by Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman/Diana Prince (played by Gal Gadot), Cyborg/Victor Stone (played by Ray Fisher), Aquaman/Arthur Curry (played by Jason Momao), and The Flash/Barry Allen (played by Ezra Miller, as they attempt to save the world from the forces of darkness, primarily the characters of Steppenwolf, Darkseid, and an army of Parademons. Set within the DC Extended Universe, "Zack Snyder's Justice League", which is the direct sequel to the events of the previous films "Man of Steel" and "Batman vs Superman", is director Zack Snyder's definitive version of the film that he had completed 90% of before he unfortunately had to leave production following the sad death of his daughter Autumn in 2017. The theatrical version of "Justice League", which came out in 2017, was an almost complete reshot and reconceptionalised version of the original film, that cut 80% of the original footage filmed by Zack Snyder in favor of footage filmed by replacement director Joss Whedon, in keeping with Warner Bros. Studio's vision of how the film should be and also keeping the film the two hours in length that they wanted it to be. Often referred to as the "Snyder Cut", "Zack Snyder's Justice League" was finally released on HBO Max and around the world on March 18th, 2021, after a long and successful campaign by director Zack Snyder, by supportive actors and an energized fan movement from all around the world who lobbied for years for Zack Snyder's original version of "Justice League" to be completed and to be released for all the world to enjoy. The film is dedicated to the memory of Zack Snyder's daughter Autumn.
