Episode 29: “Go Out In Spectacular Fashion”
In this episode, it's all about the Marvel and DC cinematic universes, as we talk about the movie lineups through 2020, and discuss which movies we're most and least looking forward to. On the DC side, we explore the rumors surrounding the new Wonder Woman movie, why Shazam isn't part of DC continuity, the possibility of Jared Leto playing The Joker in Suicide Squad, the pros and cons of individual versus team movies, and the prospect of a Green Lantern reboot. On the Marvel side, we talk about our most anticipated films from Marvel's recently announced Phase 3, Black Panther playing a large part in movies to come, the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, Robert Downey Jr. returning as Tony Stark in Civil War, and our choices for Captain Marvel, plus we debate the idea that long term announcements spoil the surprise of what's to come. On the TV front, we discuss The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Supergirl, Krypton, Peggy Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, and more.

Customer Reviews
Bwahahahahaha!!!
I’m so glad I wasn’t listening to Episode 21 in public! So many lol’s were had. This interview with Jon Cryer was awesome, and the most fun I’ve had listening to any podcast, ever. Great job guys!
Jon Cryer Value Add
Funny and they are pulling the big talent now! We all grew up with "Pretty In Pink" and it counts if your first watch was Sunday reruns, so I really enjoyed Jon Cryer's humor adding to the shows backdrop of geekdom. Of course, most of us know him from "Two and Half Men", so when is he going to at a ComicCon???
One of the better podcasts for geeks by geeks!
OK I'll admit I've listened to a lot of geeky podcasts (and non-geeky too, come on, can't I be normal sometimes?) And these guys are hysterical! They are definitely in the loop in regards to pop culture and know their stuff and will make you laugh (while learning something at the same time.) Its like bringing the comic out of the con without being at the con. I hope that makes sense!
