WandaVision has been the topic of pop culture for the past seven weeks. Now that it's over, Ian Anderson joins to break it all down. What was the point of WandaVision? How effectively did it execute its premise? What fan theories came true? What do those post credits mean? Is Tyler Hayward secretly the next Thanos?

We warm up with some Space Jam news and end with a 0.2 Section highlighting two Netflix features.
