Superman month concludes this week, but we couldn’t leave without talking about the last iteration of The Man of Steel. In this episode we look at the entirety of the DCEU – from a franchise of franchises overseen by Zack Snyder to a disjointed dying gasp of poorly performing films and ones pulled before they could see the light of day – we go over the ins and outs of the series. We talk about the merits of the films and what we feel lead to its downfall. Along the way we also discuss our favorite and least favorite movies of them all.
In lieu of a five-minute controversy this week, the cast discusses the trailer for The Fantastic Four.
This week Ryan, James, and Daviorr join the cast.

Justice League was released to theaters in 2017. However, the result left many audience goers unhappy. As the culmination of plotlines that Zack Snyder had started in Man of Steel and Justice League it seemed to fall short. The more humorous tone that the studio wanted was at odds tonally with what had gone before leaving many fans of Snyder’s work unhappy. Since that time there have been calls to release Snyder’s original cut of the movie. With HBO Max looking for new content they paid Snyder to complete his cut, which they released as a 4-hour long film. In this episode we look into the Snyder cut. We discuss its differences with the theatrical version as well as how it fits in as the third movie in Snyder’s vision. We also ask if WB should return to Snyder’s vision based on this cut and whether the Ayer cut of Suicide Squad should be released. 
Six months ago DC rocked the world of men with a movie so groundbreaking and hopeful that it’s changing the face of Hollywood blockbusters. That movie is Wonder Woman. Join the cast as we talk about why we think it’s resonated so strongly with audiences, what effect we think that it’ll have on the DCEU, and how it adapts Greek Mythology and the comic book origins of Wonder Woman. We also talk about the characters, setting, acting, and script. Then stick around for the outtakes as we discuss Batman v Superman in light of Wonder Woman and what we think of the future of the DCEU.
