The movie has been in development for 4 years and between Covid and some high profile issues with it's lead the film has had its share of controversy. Warner Bros has been running sneak previews of the movie throughout the past month and we have a chance to talk about it. Is it a good closing film for the current non-James Gunn DC universe? Is it a Flash movie or a Keaton Batman movie? How is Ezra Miller in the lead role? Speaking of superheroes, we also review Spider-man Across the Spiderverse, and its many many...

It wasn't supposed to be a music episode but its about as close to one as we've had in awhile. We talk about the new Metallica album 72 seasons. Metallica had a huge marketing campaign and push for this new album. Is it just capitalism or is the album a return to their ferocious metal past? The Foo Fighter's Studio 666 is a horror movie about the band holing up in a haunted mansion to record their 10th album. Demon possesion ensues and members of the band are dispatched in horrific ways. It came out over a year ago, but with the death of Taylor Hawkins Greg hesitated to review it. ...
