This week on the pod is light on movies (my third watch of Dune: Part Two, revisiting Michael Keaton in The Founder, Aaron Taylor Johnson's alleged Bond casting, the use of AI in Late Night with the Devil), but heavy on all the comics I've been reading, including Mark Waid and Dan Mora's World's finest, basically every comic Tom King has written in the last three years and revisiting the entire Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips oeuvre, from Criminal to Reckless and beyond. Also, we talk about my thoughts on and reaction to Disney's X-Men '97, and my thoughts on the modern state of superhero comics.

Let's dig in!
