    Once again we've sent out our Batsignal to summon our favorite DC BoiZ, DJ and James from Gamesters Pairofdice, and we got a bonus guest in the process! Their co-host, and one of our first guests, Gabe joins us to get into the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn and her adventures with the Birds of Prey! Of course the show goes off the rails and is as long as the movie, and of course it's a load of laughs throughout, but we also really get into the movie. Gabe defines the distinction between a comic book movie and a comic book movie, we get into what makes the action work, the virtue of killing off villains in superhero movies, and DC's watering down of their characters. Check out DJ, James, and Game on their shows Gamesters Pairofdice and Jamesflix, on the MetaSquid Studios feed on your favorite podcast app!
