Episode #295

On this special on location episode you join us in the middle of a birthday round of golf. We're sipping on New Belgium's revamped Fat Tire while talking about our shortest episode yet, being on the precipice of leading technology, beer that tastes nothing like a tire, watching a movie on a boat, darker tones of a Marvel film, Nick's Marvel fatigue continues, working through the character flaws, all of the new films feel so separate from one another, a redirect, some dubious success.
