Episode 171 - Avengers: Endgame 05/01/2019

Episode 171 - Avengers: Endgame Holy smokes, you guys. Rachelle and Dave saw Endgame (in Dave's case, twice) and they loved it and have lots to say about it. This episode is full of spoilers, so don't listen if you haven't seen Endgame yet. But since the movie made over a billion dollars in the first weekend, most of you probably have. This will be the last episode for awhile as Rachelle and Dave both work on their own creative projects. The next episode will probably be when Spider-Man: Far From Home opens. /episode/index/show/livingbetweenwednedays/id/9597866

Episode 170 - Shazam! / Flash Gordon 04/10/2019
