This week, we are lucky enough to be joined by Catia Malaquias, as we discuss Netflix series The Witcher. The series follows a range of characters navigating a fantasy world of demons, magic, demon hunters, and (of course) politics.

Tune in to hear our thoughts!

This week, we have the incredible K Shantel join us to discuss one of Marvel's newest films, Eternals.

Eternals follows an ancient group of superheroes, who are tasked with destroying their evil counterparts - The Deviants. As always, there's a few twists and turns - and the film seemingly sets up a new set of films in the MCU. We discuss Eternals because one of the main superheroes - Makkari - is Deaf and is played by Deaf actress, Lauren Ridloff. 

Follow along with this episode to find out what Jason, Steph & K Shantel thought of the disability representation in Eternals.
