Crossing Streams

Craig opens this week's podcast with an update on the shows discussed on episode 12, offering quick (non-spoiler) thoughts on two shows he really liked, Bodyguard and Homecoming. Next, Tom Howell from the Hyperion Adventures Podcast makes his second appearance on Crossing Streams, joining Craig to discuss Disney's grand plans for a new Disney+ streaming service that could dramatically change the streaming landscape. Last but certainly not least, the podcast takes a family turn when Craig's brother Joel makes his CS debut. Stan Lee and MARVEL comics were a major influence in the Elsten household growing up, and the brothers reminisce about Lee's impact on their formative years. Then, why the MARVEL Netflix shows haven't worked, and whether or not Daredevil's Season 3 is worth a watch.
