    Controversial Takes Within

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 7, 2024 56:33


    In this especially rambly episode, your two favorite dads that are way too tired talk about a handful of things. We mostly ramble about the dysfunction and mishandling of the DCEU and James Gunn's influence. Even if you're not into all that stuff, there's still a lot to appreciate about some of them, but how did they mess up so badly?? Is it okay to use dead peoples' likenesses in films? Why did they fire a great Superman? Why did Gal Gadot lose a lot of support from her fans? But wait Snowflakes...that's not even our most controversial take! Listener beware! And finally we talk about our kids and our weeks because we remembered we're also a parenting podcast. Thank you for listening and supporting us. If you like what you hear, please share it around.

Nearly not having a place to celebrate his 10th anniversary, work/life balance, the Halloween movie franchise, and more. Yes, most of us have to work and should work. But that shouldn't consume our lives and become who we are. We need to learn to walk away from work and be with our families when the workday is done. We already spend so much of our precious time away from our loved ones. I know that for some people work and school is an escape from an undesired home life, but for the rest of us it does rob us. Those of us with kids already miss so much of their lives because of work and school. It's very important that we maintain that balance and make sure our priorities are in the right places.

    In a special episode, John and Justin talk about being thankful for what we have and we honor the late great Kevin Conroy who voiced Batman in several properties such as the animated series, several movies, and the Batman Arkham games from 1992 on. He had a great impact on so many 90's kids and introduced a lot of us to the character of Batman. This wasn't your typical cartoon. Every episode was beautifully animated and every frame was a work of art. The voice acting, the characters, the stories, everything about it was perfect. Tying it all together was the incredible talent of Kevin Conroy. May he rest in peace. Thank you for listening and supporting us. If you like what you hear, please share it around.
