You get a dose of  Danny AND Kyrun's Quicktakes where we find out Danny's favorite Caroline Panther's player and what Kyrun thinks of Spider-man: No Way Home (  hint, he knows a man, who knows a man, who knows a guy). All that and more.

This week Danny & Kyrun sit down with Greg Moquin from Seer Nova Comics. The guys discuss how 2020 destroyed Seer Nova's plans for comics, but also how he plans to rebound.

And what movies everyone is looking forward too.
