everyone who rated this movie poorly is wrong 😤
I was excited to see this pod back in August. I had hoped it would be just a general nerdiness/pop culture pod. I am disappointed to see that all but maybe 2 episodes are disney. And it's mostly marvel, too. Nothing against marvel characters but there have been several noteworthy shows/movies that have been released/hyped in this span of time(other than Dune and fandome). No offense my dudes but you're kinda coming off as disney shills to me. Unsubscribing. :(
Awesome show. really well thought out. You can tell the host does really good prep to keep it structured and have specific talking points. Not every episode is for me but that's usually cause I haven't watched that show or read that comic and don't want spoiling. Love the deep dive on the 'origin of' sections like the one on samurai movies influencing star wars. Great stuff 👏 👍
succession doesn't seem like it belongs here, will be skipping that segment
are all episodes going to be this long? CUZ THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! great show my new fav
