Episode #56 – Steel

Yeah, you read that right. We’re actually watching Steel, the 1997 film that makes Batman & Robin seem like The Dark Knight. And it’s every bit as bad as we remember. From how Shaq is the least intimidating guy in this movie, to the floppy rubber suit, and the most stereotypical black kid ever, all of it will feel our wrath.
