As Daredevil: Born Again enters production and the internet hits a fevered pitch amidst set photo leaks and regular details coming out in the trades, Phyllis, Ayesha, Christine and Shelby sit down to discuss what we actually know about the revival series, and address a few things we still know nothing about. We anticipate this will be the first of many “state of the production” and DD:BA dedicated pods we’ll be pulling together as shooting continues throughout the year. And a note for our listeners - this was recorded Sunday, March 19 so if we didn’t address anything that has happened more recently, that would be why! Stay tuned for the next one!
