 What Did You Watch?

 
 I watched:
 
 
 Shazam! (4K disc) 2019 movie set in the DCEU.  Asher Angel stars as
 Billy Batson, a young orphan who, after being shown to be a liar and a
 thief, is gifted by a wizard (Djimon Hounsou) magical powers that
 transform him into the superhero Shazam (Zachary Levi).  In spite of
 being the same person, the two actors seemingly make no effort to even
 try to play the same character. 

 
 Yep.
 

 Anyway, when he's not goofing around
 making YouTube videos and otherwise exploiting his powers, Shazam must
 stop Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong AKA Sinestro) from unleashing the Seven
 Deadly Sins upon the world.  This one is generally pretty good.

 
 I still have never bothered with the sequel - between them firing
 Michelle Borth between movies, and the sequel getting lousy reviews, I
 could never muster up the interest.

 
As much as I hate to say it, Rachel Zegler is probably the best part of the
SHAZAM sequel.
