Senior writer for ESPN and author of 'Full Dissident' (and more) Howard Bryant joins the show for a sprawling conversation on the MCU and his life reading and collecting comics. He talks about his love for Daredevil, the arcs of Iron Man and Captain America, the legacy that Infinity War and Endgame will leave, and a lot more. Howard is one of the smartest people you'll hear on most topics, and the MCU is no exception. An awesome conversation.

Just one year before the MCU began with Iron Man, a little Marvel movie called Ghost Rider was released, and it was... something. Nicolas Cage scholar and national NBA writer for The Athletic Zach Harper joins the crew to look back on the story of Johnny Blaze.

AC, Jerome, and Jake are joined by AC's brother Raf to discuss the protests, police brutality, and where we go from here.

We'll be back with the regularly scheduled programming next week.

With no new content coming our way any time soon, the team took a look back at 2017's LOGAN. Joining them to breakdown this masterpiece of superhero filmmaking is Mariano Bivins (Count the Dings, DefPen). We discuss how this film benefits from its R-rating, what the X-Men should look like in the MCU, and whether Logan is as washed a dad as AC.

Some topics include: favorite scene, what’s aged the best, and what would you change about the character?
