    #210 - Justice League: The Snyder Cut

    Extra! Extra! It's the episode nearly a month late! Kevin and Gerrit talk about the much-anticipated Zack Snyder version of Justice League. What did they think? Did Warner Brothers make a huge mistake? Did HBO step up and do the right thing? Will there be a sequel exploring the Knightmare sequences? What differences are there between this and the 2017 Joss Whedon version? Who really even cares at this point?! LOL! This season is all about Batman!

    #209 - The Sequel That Never Was (Batman Triumphant)

    A new episode for your ears! Kevin and Gerrit return to discuss the Joel Schumacher-almost-helmed film that never came to be. Under the titles, "Batman Triumphant," "Batman Unchained," and even "Batman Year One," the project was abandoned after the dismal critical reception and box office returns of "Batman & Robin." Your hosts chat about the possibilities of what could have happened with the franchise, how "Batman & Robin" destroyed other possibilities, and what they would have done differently. This season is all about the original 4 films in the Batman anthology (maybe they'll tackle more????).

    #102 - M:I 2 (Mission: Impossible, Pt. 2)

    Part 2 of the Mission: Impossible franchise saw a turn in tone with director John Woo's... visionary... style? 2000 was absolutely an interesting year for all involved in the making of the first M:I sequel, and this episode of "Something Serial" is just as insane and entertaining (albeit actually good), as that movie is. In this episode, your hosts Gerrit Elzinga and Kevin McCarthy will expand your horizons in regards to Tom Cruise's career, marriage to Nicole Kidman, and just how crazy Mission: Impossible 2 really is. Your mission, should you choose to accept it - listen to Kevin and Gerrit as they deconstruct excruciating slow motion at break-neck speed. Subscribe to this podcast, and follow the boys on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, iTunes, Anchor, Google Play, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
