It's time for one of our most requested films to discuss, Alita: Battle Angel on The Movie Defenders podcast! Not only do we do a full, non-spoiler review, but we later play several scenes from the film as we walk through the whole thing. We talk about what critics think, and then what we think. But first we have fun talking about the Oscars, when we might get an Episode 9 trailer, New Mutants having no release date, and we break down the new Dark Phoenix trailer! Then it's the top 5 80's movie soundtracks, and fun segment of how to get Alita into your Genesys games. Wrap that up with a spoiler review of the movie itself and you've got a jam packed episode! So grab your cybernetic implants, rescue a dog, and get ready to play Motorball on the The Movie Defenders podcast!
