In the spirit of breaking the fourth wall, this week's episode breaks all the rules: we record outside of our host city, we don't a bat-jar, and the special guest is Average Joe's brother!

Join AJ and his brother Danhattan as they discuss the trailer for "Christopher Robin", the character of Deadpool, and his recent blockbuster film "Deadpool 2".

To avoid SPOILERS for Deadpool 2, please skip over 52:54-1:17:12 of the episode.

Music and audio from "Hulk Vs. Wolverine" is the property of Marvel Studios and Lionsgate.

In a surprise twist, special guest Dee Dee comes in and saves the day by allowing us to have an episode for this week. But even she can't save us from the terrible performances given by the actors who are the topic of today's conversation.

Magnum PI is getting a reboot while Murphy Brown is getting a revival TV series. Will Average Joe and Dee Dee be checking these shows out when they hit the airwaves?

In a follow-up to our previous episode on the best performances in superhero movies, we look at the worst of the worst to discuss which actors give the worst performances in superhero movies and why they are so bad.

This week, Average Joe is joined by returning guest Pixel to discuss some interesting imports from the land of the rising Sun.

In the news this week, Hasbro has purchased the Power Rangers franchise from Saban. What does this mean for the future of the franchise? Will they continue making live-action shows? Will their be crossover with other franchises? Has Average Joe's childhood been ruined?

Kamen Rider has been a successful tokusatsu franchise in Japan since the early 1970's. With over 26 different series to date, it has captured the imaginations of generations upon generations of fans. Despite this, the franchise has never found much success in the Western world. How has this happened? What went wrong?

Music from "Kamen Rider Black RX" is the property of Eiji Kawamura, Shotaro Ishinomori, and Toei.
