Episode 66 starts off as a Penn State Football tribute, but quickly highlights special guest Hammond Chamberlain: podcaster extraordinaire!

It turns out that Hammond is actually the most interesting man in the world, becoming the first person to play the harmonica live on the show.  He mentions an instrument called the “chapman stick,” and here’s a short video of it in action.

We’re debating whether or not another Joker movie needs to be made, especially with Leonardo Di Caprio taking on the reins as one of Gotham’s most infamous villains.  But, the question surfaces:  does an origin story NEED to be made?

Colin Trevorrow’s out as the director of Episode IX, but could Wrinkle in Time director Ava Duvernay helm the project?  Here’s a quick look into her latest project with Disney:

Murder on the Orient Express kicked off its main publicity campaign by leaving us clues, a new poster, and an interactive website, cluesareeverywhere.com

Will Lord of the Flies be remade with all girls?  Or just Jeff Goldblum clones? I’d pay to see that movie.  The Simpsons made a clever parody a few years ago:

We’re going to see It this weekend.  Here’s a reminder to wear diapers:

Plus, Hammond introduces us to a new Jennifer Lawrence film, Mother.

Lastly, go see The Big Sick.  You’ll thank me when you do.

On today’s show we discuss Captain America! You may recognize him as the patriotic super soldier that fights off evil armed with his indestructible shield, But did you know he also possesses the power to wield Thor’s Hammer? Our own, sketch comedians Imran and Phil are back live on the drawing boards.

Captain America is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover dated March 1941) from Timely Comics, a predecessor of Marvel Comics.

While the poster for ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ did give us our first look at Captain America’s new suit, post-Civil War, it’s difficult to tell if the new suit is a version of the Nomad costume, or The Captain.

To be clear, it’s been some time since the poster for Avengers: Infinity War was released. It was unveiled by Marvel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, driving fans crazy the moment it dropped. The poster had fans going wild for many reasons, but the most pertinent being the character reveals.

Steven Rogers was born in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, in 1925 to poor Irish immigrants, Sarah and Joseph Rogers.Joseph died when Steve was a child, and Sarah died of pneumonia while Steve was a teen. By early 1940, before America’s entry into World War II, Rogers is a tall, scrawny fine arts student specializing in illustration and a comic book writer and artist.

Disturbed by the rise of the Third Reich, Rogers attempts to enlist but is rejected due to his frail body. His resolution attracts the notice of U.S. Army General Chester Phillips and “Project: Rebirth”. Rogers is used as a test subject for the Super-Soldier project, receiving a special serum made by “Dr. Josef Reinstein”,later retroactively changed to a code name for the scientist Abraham Erskine.

This episode is all over the place.  Patrick tries to convert the show to a Penn State football program, Patton Oswalt returns to Netflix, and Game of Thrones closed its seventh season, leaving viewers everywhere in limbo until 2019.
