John and Rob are two old mates who love comics, movies, TV, books, music and many other things. Friends since age 11 they have had a 20 year gap in contact, and have a lot to catch up on; the rise of the MCU, genre TV and film, popular culture moments and what's been happening in their lives. They also will be discussing current stuff and the wealth of exciting content on the horizon. Mainly the podcast is a good reason to ensure they chat regularly and avoid another 20 year gap!
