Make room, Marvel, 'cuz the Mutants are moving-in! Before Jake + Mitch re-build the X-Men mythology for the MCU, they break-down the nostalgic philosophy of Zebra Stripe Gum and Bubble Tape. Because the '90's are still important to two 30-something bald dudes with kids. Next, Mitch introduces Apocalypse Order, the new way to view the X-Men Extended Universe; while Jake dumps Prof. X and Mags for a new 'Schism' in the ever-growing Avengers arena. Plus, Benicio del Toro as Wolverine? It makes more sense than you may think. And don't worry...they guys found time to shout-out everyone's favorite geriatric sitcom, The Golden Girls, and briefly throw-down over Star Wars prequels. Basically, this e
Strap into your time machines as we venture back to the time of Bennifer, life before Twitter, and 19 year-old Jake still rocking the hair. The year is 2003, and the movie in question: Daredevil. Starring Ben Affleck (post Kevin Smith; pre-directing phase), Jennifer Garner, Michael Clark Duncan, and the gloriously over the top Colin Farrell. Filled with early '00's camp, Daredevil sure tries hard...But does it still hold up? Or, did it ever?

Everything has been leading to this moment. The time has come for the internet to have the definitive ranking of the Batmen. Jake + Mitch go full-blaze geektastic over the task of ranking the large and small screen performances of Batman. Takes are hot, nostalgia is thick, and the caped crusader still reigns supreme. Plus, Christian Bale gets demoted; Mitch breaks-down the Ben Affleck career Oreo; and Jake is forced to kill one of Green Lantern, Daredevil, or Batman. It all makes sense in context.

The BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is revealed! Jake + Mitch bask in their new-found mid-level Podcast fame, and lobby to grab their own Oscars category. Plus, thoughts on Google paranoia, Skynet self checkouts, and conspiracy theories. Don't worry, they hit on the new DCEU trailers too. Aquaman disappoints while Shazam! blows the doors off the joint.

Is it possible to love the show's ending while hating how you got there? That's kind of what Luke Cage S2 feels like.
