    Holy cow, 2 episodes in the same year?! Unprecedented! Just want to say the response to last week's episode was fantastic so we pushed this one out as fast as we could. Listen along for a little Agatha & The Coven of Chaos news, some refocusing of the blame of Dr. Strange 2's dismal run and some reaffirmation of why we're probably not going to see The Flash (even though I want to support Michael Keaton)...We go a little in-depth on Free Comic Book Day and finish up with our review of Shazam 2, as promised from last week. 

    Welcome back!!
