Episode #8 – Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD
Between digressions about politics in comics, the Watchmen TV series, Crisis on Infinite Earths, and a whole bunch of other tangents, we do kind of talk about our main movie. And that is the 1998 Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD telefilm starring The Hoff himself in the role Samuel L. Jackson made famous. And spoiler alert: it’s not as bad as you may have been told.
