Lin and Eric kick off the new year by talking about their favorite filmmaker, Zack Snyder, and his new masterwork of epic proportions. Imagine Seven Samurai, but in space with Nazis! What a completely original and groundbreaking premise, which uses intense slow-motion to punctuate every scene, brilliant actors given tons of character development to work with, and an understated sense of scope that delivers a poignant message overflowing with meaning. Listen to Eric lose his mind! After that, they talk about Picard Season 3, the PS5's Spider-Man 2, and What If Season 2.
