This week, we open with some continued thoughts on the Last of Us franchise (all spoiler-free) while diving into the truth behind Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time's microtransactions. Will games cost more in the next generation of consoles? The short answer... yes. Seth Rogen is teaming with Nickelodeon to bring back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & AMC theaters will now reopen just before August... or will they? Ozark's season four will be it's final go-round, but it will be aired a bit differently. The Boys season two got a release date! A few awesome video game franchises are being adapted to TV series, including Fallout! Beavis & Butthead are coming back & we even have some comic news in the realm of Disney/Marvel! All that plus, Sam has a pretty huge book for his weekly CGC Spotlight!

On this very special bonus episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Mike Henneberger, Emmy-award winning producer, music journalist & new author of the best-selling book Rock Bottom at the Renaissance: an Emo Kid's Journey Through Falling In and Out of Love In and With New York City. The book is not all sunshine & rainbows, there is a lot of very dark & true content in this "mixtape memoir." Mike gets into why the bands he chose to interweave into the chapters, how he never meant to wrote this book, but is glad he did & how it can help people in dark places see light. We also put Mike through our rapid fire segment where he eliminates one Disney movie from existence, adapts his book to a TV show & even tells us how great of a steak his wife cooks. All that and so much more.

This week, Henry Cavill is back as the Man of Steel! Not only that, but Zack Snyder is getting much more than first anticipated to complete his cut of the Justice League.

We give our initial impressions of the new DC series, Stargirl, as well as clear the air on how to get HBO Max for free.

It has been roughly five years in the making, but the cut of the Justice League film that fans have been clamoring over is finally a reality! We bring the hype, but also the truth bombs. How will it be released? What will the extra budget go towards? Which character arc(s) will change the most? Will it be any good? All that & more on this week's pod!
