This week we explore everything wrong with She Hulk and Marvels' continuous character assassination of Hulk with each iteration. Despite what She Hulk effectively stood for in the comics, Marvel failed to capture the complexity of the character and created a 'failed' feminist icon... Is She Hulk too woke? or are we just tired of the unlimited stream of Marvel Content? Nevertheless, Disney Plus got it right with ‘Prey'. An action packed, gory thrill seeker with a strong female lead, who actually earned it! We explore the exciting new thriller featuring the iconic ’Predator'. It's got to be the best Predator film that has graced our screen as of yet. What do you think?Oh and there's also some Kanye stuff...

With the Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness releasing, we give our honest review on this chaotic movie directed Sam Raimi along with our reaction to the Avatar 2 movie trailer and the highly anticipated Kendrick Lamar album dropping very soon. We start with the bad and end with the good! Not to say that the Marvel movie was all bad but in this episode we challenge your perspective on the movie given that you guys loved it like every other Marvel fan that has fell in love with Marvel's successful formula. It's tricky when fans are introduced to the idea of being able to enter different universes and realities because then a question may come to linger at the back of their head like it did ours, does anything matter? K.dot, the kid from Compton, Kendrick is finally back after a 5 year hiatus. We debate if he is one of the greatest rappers, he's always given his listeners insight into the reality of his day to day life growing up in Compton. He addresses social issues like racism, gang violence and generational trauma in his music yet each album has it's own unique sound and conveys these messages through his verses which contain many layers of meaning. We are psyched, we reminisce on his old albums and we wonder what sound his new album will bring. To keep up to date with us, click on the link -> hslinktr.ee/theaftermathpodcast12
