Low Key Aaron Lanton

This episode, your pod pals Keith, Aaron and Tim talk about Netflix's the Three Body Problem, how the Game of Thrones guys love killing everyone you love, and how weird it is when supermodels are cast as cops and EMTs.
We like the Three Body Problem, based on the novel by Liu Cixin that Tim is not sophisticated enough to understand.

In this episode we talk about our love of the brilliant X-Men 97, dream re-cast the 2000 X-Men movie, and pitch the greatest comic-book story that will never, ever be made.
We also imagine a solution to the Logan-Scott-Jean love triangle, talk about past great animated shows, and envision a plan for world peace inspired by Magneto.
Come to me, my X-Men (fans).
P.S. Tim was wrong about X-Men #168 being the first issue he ever bought. It was #185.

Netflix's Damsel flips the typical woman captured by beast narrative on its head, and lets the women take the lead but is it successful? Aaron and Keith talk about Millie Bobby Brown's performance as a fantasy heroine, why Damsel might have the best dragon CGI ever, and the oddness of so many reviewers focusing on gender while completely missing the impactful Grendel parallels for the main antagonist.

Is the Dune 2 worth the hype, or does the adaptation fail to build on the original film's strengths? Aaron, Keith and Tim talk through the challenges of watching science fiction epics, why the Dune series is flipping the typical hero formula, and how Dune 2 is likely to influence future Hollywood projects.

This episode we talk about Griselda, the story of a woman who can sell drugs and kill people as well as any man.
Tim loves it, Keith has some reservations, Aaron finds some things goofy.
Also, since we recorded this conversation, the lawsuit filed by Griselda's son has been settled. Hooray!
