ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
The multiverse got weirder this week, and we're here for every glorious second of it! Yung Phil, Jahmez, SHDU, and the crew break down the latest Marvel, DC, Star Wars, animation, gaming, and comic book news while debating everything from Avengers: Doomsday LEGO spoilers to whether Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs on the big screen. We also dive into the return of Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Firefly, Fallout, G.I. Joe, and more. Plus, the running campaign to convince everyone to read Dungeon Crawler Carl continues… and somehow SHDU still hasn't read it. At this point we're convinced Princess Donut has personally blacklisted him.
