Episode 27 – Smash Bros Assemble!

It’s our 27th episode!

This week my buddy Matt Drane is back and we talk about Super Smash Bros, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Avengers 4 (aka Endgame) rumors, Batman: The Animated Series, the return of Young Justice, the DC Universe streaming entertainment platform, a Superman video game that will probably never get made, and a bunch of other stuff. You’d honestly be better off just listening to the episode at this point.

We hope you enjoy it!

SHOW NOTES!

Please watch this tribute to Captain America in the MCU and just try to say he’s not the absolute best of the best of the best.
