The Last King Podcast

Just call me Big Punisher! It's that next level shit again, and this time we go all in on the latest Netflix/Marvel offering. We're talking of course about the first season of the new solo "Punisher" show . Jon Bernthal reprises his role as the titular character. And after much critical and fan praise from his appearance in Daredevil Season 2, he has his work cut out for him. This time the question on our minds is whether he can carry his own show, or is it firing blanks? Listen in to find out what we think and where the show fits in the legacy of Frank Castle. #theoriginalbigpun

Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the worst kept secret in the Snyderverse! It's finally here and that means a special DCEU themed episode.

Also we look to the future and speculate on upcoming flicks, especially with the tumultuous fate of "The Batman" solo movie. And in the main segment, it's our roundabout review of "Justice League'. We ask whether the franchise has the legs (and cape)to keep the dream going or if this could be the death knell that even "Superman" cannot come back from. #borntobemild
