An Entourage joke becomes reality as Aquaman washes over our cinema screens. Everybody's favourite Dothraki trades in his arakh for a totally bitchin' trident and brings his chill dude bro vibes to the Kingdom of Atlantis. Will this be the film that brings Jesse around to the DCEU? Only time, and listening to this podcast, will tell. We compare Aquaman with another mythology-inspired superhero, Thor. Going back to 2011 for Kenneth Branagh's unloved take on the character. Plus there's a bit of what we charitably refer to as news.
