On our latest episode we sit down to discuss narrative structure in video games like Wolfenstein The New Order, Assassin's Creed and Bioshock. Comic discussion on Babyteeth, Man-thing and more. The recent announcement of Ron Howard directing a Star Wars movie. Auteur filmmaking in a blockbuster context. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. And we finish on the glory that is the Wonder Woman movie.

After an extended hiatus "Truman" and "Nancy" join forces once again! It's season 2 of the Bloodbath2 Podcast! We start with a brief re-introduction to the podcast which includes some tangents which almost immediately threaten to derail the show. Then settle in for an in-depth look at all of the Marvel Netflix shows including all the technical, canonical, and cultural problems they present. 

Truman is very proud of his essay;
