    A supersized episode for a super teaser: It's James Gunn's SUPERMAN, the newest reboot of the DC OG superhero staple. We're joined by self-proclaimed Superman obsessor, and very special guest, Patrick Cohen who educates us on the "D level superheroes," while Angel has none of Evan's MoviePass nonsense, and Evan switches Jor-El and Kal-El's name without missing a beat.

    Sinners Trailer - Episode 3
    Dec 26 2024

    This week we're tearing down SINNERS, a new original movie that features twin Michael B. Jordans, Ryan Coogler behind the camera and script, and (maybe) vampires? Evan misses the obvious, Angel guesses at time periods, and we nitpick individual frames of the trailer. We are more than intrigued, what about you?
