Episode #24 – Daredevil (2003)
Finally, Perry's master plan has come to fruition.

Episode #23 – Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay
The best Suicide Squad movie isn't the live-action one, but this animated feature from a few years ago. We talk up Christian Slater's take on Deadshot, debate which version of Harley Quinn we like better, and explain why DC's second-string villains are better than Marvel's.

Episode #22 – Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Seems almost everybody hated Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance when it came out. But we watched it anyway and even though it’s definitely not a good movie, it’s also not really a bad one either.

Find out why this film holds up so well and how it succeeds where Michael Bay’s reboot failed.

Yes, Aquaman is a badass and this movie proved it. We praise James Wan's confident direction, Jason Momoa's surfer bro take on the King of the Seas, and just overall geek out on the closest DC has ever come to making an MCU film.

Episode #18 – Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
We go with a more recent pick this week as we watch Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. Despite the title, don't expect a whole lot of Birds of Prey as this is pretty much the Harley show. But that's okay, because Margot Robbie steals the show. Get ready to crave an egg sandwich!
