    Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes/Zemo Lives

    We're back, baby! And for something totally different! Josh really wanted to talk Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Nabeel couldn't argue. The guys talk about this fan-favorite cartoon, its story, the characters, and all the wasted potential from having just two seasons! Nabeel and Josh also discuss things that were cut from the show and potential plans for future seasons, before sharing their favorite characters and episodes from the show! And we forgot to mention this, but man, what a banger of a theme song!
