It's finally time to answer the age old question- what's the difference between nerds, geeks, and fans? Why do we categorize interest in certain subjects as fandom rather than being a geek or nerd?

Join us for a crash course in defining what it means to be a fan- and how that differs from what we have come to known as nerds and geeks!

To quote Cyborg: "I heard about you. Didn't think you were real." After years of speculation, hashtags, and a global pandemic, director Zack Snyder has released his version of the film he began working on back in 2015. 

Does the vision of original director Zack Snyder turn the much maligned Justice League movie into a masterpiece? Does the final result justify the existence of the #releasetheSnyderCut movement? Why did Joss Whedon and Warner Brothers make the decisions they made 4 years ago?

To avoid SPOILERS for "Zack Snyder's Justice League", skip over 43:18- 1:10:03 of the episode.

Disney's latest princess has come to theatres and Disney+ with a sword and a dragon in tow. Yet it has earned less at the box office than other movies released during the pandemic. What does this mean for the future of Disney's movie releases?

And what does a Disney movie set in a South-Asian inspired fantasy world look like? Join us for a spoiler-free conversation about the movie and Average Joe's first trip to the movie theatres in over six months!

This week the boys and Mljonir get together to discuss "The Boys". Just when you think the superhero genre has been satirized and deconstructed enough, here comes the comic book turned streaming series to prove that there is still more to be done with this concept. What is appealing about this world superheroes are essentially the bad guys? And does the bleak atmosphere presented by the series ruin the experience?

To avoid SPOILERS for the first two seasons of "The Boys", skip over 52:25 - 1:02:58 of the episode.

This week we take a look ahead to the rest of 2021 and the movies which (at the time of our recording) are scheduled to be released in this calendar year.
