In the third episode of season 2 we reflect on becoming celebrity podcasters.

Midseason Special – Excalibur vs. Zack Snyder's Justice League — Dawn of Justice

Season 1 · Episode 13

Wednesday, July 31, 2024 • Duration 04:39:14

In this very special mid-season spectacular we work hard to alienate our existing audience! We pay the podcasting tax by discussing the Zack Snyder cut for longer than the runtime of the movie, and compare it with its (apparent) direct inspiration: Excalibur (1981). In this episode we discuss mythic storytelling, art under capitalism, the healthy practice of doing a grail quest, and the strange attractor of the "evil superman" trope. Also in this episode: Joel eats a fancy kiwi fruit. We hope you join us on this epic board-approved journey, as we slowly lose our minds from tiredness. Don't count on it, Batman!
