Acc and Jack have a spoiler-heavy discussion about Thunderbolts*, the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In giving away the third act of the film, Jack explains to Acc why the film's title features an asterisk, and ponders why Marvel and Disney chose to update the film's title days after its premier. Jack also comments on an article about Thunderbolts* that attempts to explain how its opening weekend box office performance is relative to the decision to reveal the meaning behind the asterisk.
