The World Needs A Little Talk

S1 E1 - "Superman" and "Fantastic Four"


Listen Later

We're ba-ack. It's been a long while, but the world hasn't ended just quite yet, so we have time for a few more little talks. In this episode, Austin explains why Superman makes him cry and the Fantastic Four does not. Matthew celebrates the fact that Hollywood has rediscovered the centrality of the family for the meaningful narratives. And both of them cringe over supposedly Kansan accents in the movies.
