DC League of Super-Pets
Superman and Batman have been taken prisoner, so it’s up to their dogs Krypto (Dwayne Johnson) and Ace (Kevin Hart) to lead the rescue team in the first big screen adventure for the DC League of Superpets. Did deranged guinea pig Lulu (Kate McKinnon) learn enough about being a supervillain from Lex Luther (Marc Maron) to successfully engineer an orange kryptonite plot that expels the Justice League from the planet? And will the Man of Steel have to pick Lois Lane over Man’s Best Friend in the end? Listen Now as Jakob, Arnie, and Stuart sniff it out!

Nope
Would Jakob, Arnie, and Stuart pass up an opportunity to review a new Jordan Peele movie? Nope. That’s why Now Playing Patrons are being treated to an out-of-this-world podcast this August about his latest filthy spectacle. Can siblings Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer pay off family debts by photographing the UFO beaming horses off their movie ranch? And is that a flying saucer poking through those Agua Dulce clouds, or an oversized dinner plate meant to serve up tourists to the aliens? Donate to hear the hosts make a hearty meal out of this movie.

Underdog
Before there was a League of DC Superpets, there was Underdog… the clumsy police beagle turned into a flying canine crime fighter by mad scientist Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones). But can Walt Disney turn a 1960s Saturday morning cartoon created by cereal makers into something that satisfies the tastes of a new generation of superhero fans weaned on Richard Donner’s Superman? And what can K-9 star Jim Belushi teach his four-legged partner about making a funny family film? Never fear, Now Playing is all you need to hear! Listen Now!

Customer Reviews
Funny Guys
I love hearing Arnie and Stuart stories
Millennial grudge
Been listening to these guys for a good while Best movie reviewers around, beside Arnie being annoying most of the time my only gripe is their hate for younger generations. If they don’t get something it’s because the movie is for millennials lol
Edit Arnie lost all credibility saying Lego Batman is his favorite Batman movie
Get rid of Arnie and this review goes to 4
Not everything is 9/11
Listening to all the podcasts and it’s a joke anymore guarantee you that you can’t make it through one episode without a 9/11 reference even lord of the rings a book that’s been out years before the event
As for the hosts: one’s a so called “completest” can’t complete a series to save their life
One’s voice really is grating on me they constantly need “donations” to pay for their horrible shows all in all NOT RECOMMENDED
