  • One of the best podcasts

    This is one of the best podcast. Grizzy more insight onto the films you watch or you’re about to see. I’m loving the coverage of secret wars right now and I can’t wait for the movie because I’ll feel better prepared with this background knowledge.

    Dive deep into the stories that are adapted for the big screen. It’s fun to hear the discussion, even if I haven’t read the comic or story they are talking about. Give it a listen!
