254: Rampage 11/23/2020

254: Rampage You voted for what Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson movie we cover this week and you chose Rampage. We talk about how this movie is clearly two scripts mashed together, how the Rock hates people despite being perfectly nice all the time, a brilliant performance by Jeffery Dean Morgan, and villains who don't understand how profit works. /episode/index/show/talkfromsuperheroes/id/16900304

253: The Avengers (1998) 11/16/2020

253: The Avengers (1998) Every week in November we're letting the fans decide what we cover. This was Uma Thurman week and you chose 1998's The Avengers.
