May 16, 2016Episode 411: Potemkin Sausage Factory

March 28, 2016Episode 404: Lex Luthor Presents Mary Shelley’s Blackwater
Ben Adams, Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather gather to overthink Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Zack Snyder’s and starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill. It’s Warner Bros.’s opening salvo in the DC Cinematic universe, sure to grind joylessly forward in a dutiful blue-tinged miasma of confused storytelling, half-drawn characters, and contradictory philosophizing. Our take is not as bad as some of what you’ve heard out there.
