It took us way too long for how short the movie is, but we're finally wrapping up Daredevil! We've had a great time with it so far, but will it stick the landing? Or will Colin Farrell turn into a big CGI monster man? Was 2003 before movies became bad? I can't remember! Also, WILL VAL NOTICE JENNIFER GARNER'S WIG??? Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Remember when movies had a three-act structure? This week, we're reminiscing about simpler times as we watch act 2 of Daredevil! Elektra has arrived, and things are somehow very quaint and also horrifically weird at the same time. Matt loves to sniff! We've also got Wilson Fisk and Bullseye to round out the cast. Did you know Colin Farrell is Irish? Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Welp, Mycroft is still here, so we had a lot to say this time. Best friend of the show, aka Jo @friendofdashow, joins Val to discuss Season 2 episode 24 of Elementary, The Grand Experiment. Many secrets are revealed in the finale of season 2, including Jo's $60 secret which very well could have destroyed the podcast. We explore absolutely terrible op sec, doubly idiotic double-agents, and how much Mycroft sucks still. Tangents include movie-theater phone horror stories, and the origin stories of the Energizer/Duracell bunny and Joann Fabrics. They're more dramatic than it sounds, trust me.

The reviews are in! We're one third of the way through 2003's Daredevil, and this movie is officially Bad Ass! It's got Seether, and it's got Nickelback, and it's got some of the worst lawyering you'll ever see outside of Ace Attorney! Movies used to be fun! We're never watching anything post-2010 again!

Sorry, this isn't Daredevil! We sat down to talk about it but we ended up reading and laughing at Screenrant for 20 minutes first. Giga will be out of town next week, so rather than post our first Daredevil episode and then take a week off, we decided to make the Screenrant segment its own mini-episode. Did you think Batman v. Superman was bad? Well, you're wrong! Thanks for correcting us, Screenrant! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
It's the penultimate episode of season 2! Exciting! And Mycroft is here. Bummer. This week friend of the show Jo joins Val to dive into the world of spydom and British intrigue. We watched Season 2, Episode 23 of Elementary, Art in the Blood. Sherlock visits a club for gentlemen, which is not a gentlemen's club. Joan and Sherlock investigate why a body at the morgue had its arms stolen, and Jo and Val absolutely roast Mycroft's stupid bangs.

We are finally done with Watchmen! Well, they didn't do the squid. Do we care? Not really! We're focused on a change far more offensive than that: Themes! Who would have thought we'd have a problem with themes from the guy who wrote the Kents telling Superman to let people die? Oh well! That's another movie down. Next time we'll be taking our first daring step outside of the realm of DC Comics! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Three quarters of the way through Watchmen! The movie continues to be a combination of gross, boring, and most of all, blue! In this week's viewing, Rorschach is unmasked and Nite Owl is un-underweared. Will we find a way to shoehorn a third conversation about food into this episode? Yes! But more importantly, we read some more ScreenRant! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
Against all common sense, we're back for more Watchmen! In this week's installment, we go to the Comedian's funeral for about an hour (spoilers: Comedian dies in this movie) and follow Doctor Manhattan to Mars where he reminds us of a great chapter from the comic book series Watchmen. With all the talk of war, sexual assault, nihilism, and nuclear armageddon, things get pretty heavy this week. Fortunately, Sam's favorite website ScreenRant is here to save the day! Looks like superheroes are real after all! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter
We return once again to the Snyder Mines to experience the hit film of Watchmen 2009! Rorschach is here, and he's got his iconic mask, and the Comedian is here, and he's got his iconic button. Why isn't this movie iconic? It has all the ingredients! Doctor Manhattan even has his iconic butt and balls and penis! What more do audiences need? Beans, you say? Well, Zack has got you covered there, my friends! Content warning: this episode includes discussion of homophobic violence from 24:07-25:38. Also, this is Watchmen we're talking about, so general warning for mentions of sexual assault,…
