Talk From Superheroes

It's the last pick of fan voting month and you chose 2012's Dredd. This week we talk about how impressive it is to act through a scowl the whole time, if being on drugs while falling to your death is good or bad, and how to be violent but tasteful.

You voted for it, so this week we're talking about 2005's Fantastic Four. We discuss the Chris Evans of it all, perfect and not so perfect casting, how Doom is just there, and not saving a single person.

We're talking about season 1 of Star Trek: Picard so SPOILER WARNING because we discuss how Patrick Stewart's still got it, who needs to get their own show next, whether synths are people, hot incestuous Romulans, and existing on the periphery of a great theme.
