#MovietimeInManhattan #ShazamMovie Shazam! Fury of the Gods Director David F. Sandberg’s Super Hero Sequel Stars Zachary Levi as Shazam Available to Own Digitally on April 7 4K UHD and Blu-ray arrive on May 23


What could be better than curling up with another flick on a rainy day in Manhattan?
NOTHING especially when it is by Warner Brothers, says Peachy Deegan who also suggests eating from one of our preferred venues who have just graced our Peachy's Picks Best of 2023 list while you watch because movie food can be so much more than popcorn.

We just found one more reason to love Warner Brothers especially in their 100th year!
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know Shazam, champion of Philly giving kids a sense of belonging.  Helen Mirren in particular we loved in this flick, and it is a sequel you ought to know.  We did not see the first one.  

Spoiler Alert: Wonder Woman makes an appearance!  We love her!  Watch the Original in addition to the sequel and we love to expand our DC universe repertoire with Shazam!

SYNOPSIS

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” continues the story of teenage Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who, upon reciting the magic word “SHAZAM!,” is transformed into his adult Super Hero alter ego, Shazam. Bestowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with having adult Super Hero alter-egos. But when the Daughters of Atlas, a vengeful trio of ancient gods, arrive on Earth in search of the magic stolen from them long ago, Billy—aka Shazam (Zachary Levi)—and his family are thrust into a battle for their superpowers, their lives, and the fate of their world.
