Podcasts about John Wick

In this episode of Things Police See, host Steve Gould sits down with retired NYPD veteran George Sichler for an unforgettable look into the world of elite law enforcement special operations. Serving 20 years with the nation's largest police force, George transitioned from the intense "meat grinder" patrol blocks of NYC to the high-stakes NYPD Harbor and Scuba teams. George shares incredible firsthand accounts of what it's like to drop from helicopters into pitch-black waters, executive life-or-death maritime rescues miles offshore, and navigate zero-visibility "black water" recovery missions. He also reveals a fascinating look at his post-career opportunities, including his time in Hollywood training Keanu Reeves for John Wick (and the true story behind the famous "Wick flick"). From surviving the chaos of New York City patrol to his current role in emergency preparedness with Mira Safety, George's insights offer masterclass advice on career longevity, the power of professional networking, and never-ending training.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio, starting with their reactions to the Oklahoma City Thunder taking Game 2 of the Western Conference finals vs the San Antonio Spurs. Mike opens with a bold free agency prediction. Then Wes argues that NBA teams are realizing something important: it's almost impossible to win a championship when your best player is over 30. From Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama, to Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell, the league is shifting toward younger stars. What does that mean for Giannis trade offers, Kawhi Leonard's market, Kevin Durant's next move and teams like the Cavaliers or Rockets? Plus, Wes makes the case for Durant becoming the NBA's John Wick, and the guys lay out three ways to fix the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.

They Will Kill You is a punchy, gory, and brilliant mess. It was delightfully unexpected, and while at times it certainly feels like “John Wick but with a Badass Black Woman,” that's not a negative! It is a relentless assault of silly world-building and over-the-top body gore. 

Was Sister Kill Cycle's Raven Mistaken for Marilyn Manson?

Frank Castle is back and he’s seen John Wick. After locking up his guns for a few hours Frank is thrust back into the murder-spree lifestyle once it is revealed that Angela has been the boss all along. Is this an origin story of The Punisher as the anti-hero from the comics rather than a guy just out for revenge? Can Chekhov’s Daughter encourage some sort of MIrror Moltz Doctorine? Read along with our latest ep to find out! Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast.This week, Laura and Phil review They Will Kill You (2026)—a dark and mysterious tale set inside a New York high-rise with a troubling past.

Mostly Film is back with another packed episode of trailer chaos, movie talk, and industry insanity. This week in LIST IT or NIX IT, we're breaking down trailers for The Rivals of Amziah King, Resident Evil, Clayface, Coyote vs Acme, Jackass, Verity, and more to decide what's making the watchlist — and what's getting tossed immediately.In What We've Been Watching, Jonathan and J.P. talk survival thrillers, prestige dramas, and comfort TV as they dive into Apex, revisit Erin Brockovich, and check in on shows like The Boys, The Wire, Justified, Entourage, Maul, and Survivor.Then in The News, things get wild: a Westworld movie is officially happening, Battlefield sparks a studio bidding war, John Wick 5 gets an update, Netflix is planning its first major theatrical rollout with Greta Gerwig's Narnia, and somehow a Django/Zorro crossover movie is becoming real. Plus: Michael breaks records, Fast & Furious expands again, Letterboxd might be sold, and we react to the first look at Netflix's live-action Scooby-Doo.

Hoy La Órbita de Endor toca hablar de BALLERINA del universo de John Wick, un spin-off que nos presentó una película bastante más que digna que sirvió para continuar teniendo acción desenfrenada, filmada y montada con la mejor eficacia. Y es que esto es cine de acción de alta gama. Acción Premium, sí, señor. Con una Ana de Armas que no hacía exactamente las mismas cosas y con la misma contundencia que John Wick, pero a su manera mataba a un número de enemigos muy parecido. Junto a Albert Galdor PR17, Lord Pelayo y Antonio Runa, tendremos un festival de tiros, puñetazos, cuchilladas y persecuciones.

Unanswered Prayers, Easter Candy, and Podcast Catch-Up with April On the podcast, Paul, Jeremy, and returning guest April banter about sampled music ("Darkest Light" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band) and April's last era of secular rap (Master P's "Ice Cream Man"), then recap a busy Easter at church, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and expensive holiday candy. They debate drive-thru etiquette, share travel and hotel mishaps, discuss their dogs and kids' media preferences (including John Wick and Hallmark), and briefly touch on big-ticket events like the World Cup, WrestleMania, and a $5,000 Derby mint julep, plus TikTok trends like Scientology building "runs" and curiosity about the Vatican vault. The episode's main focus is wrestling with "unanswered prayers," using biblical examples (persistent widow, Hannah, Exodus, prison releases, John the Baptist, Jesus in Gethsemane, Paul's thorn) and emphasizing prayer as relationship, God's will, suffering, and practices like stillness, praying scripture, and worship music, with book recommendations from Pete Greig and Paul Miller. 00:00 Sampled Song Icebreaker 01:23 Master P Nostalgia 04:25 Easter Recap Candy Chaos 07:07 Drive Thru Thank You Debate 09:22 Milo and Dog Life Update 11:28 Ads Hallmark and Pricey Cards 13:52 Awkward TV With Teens 15:08 John Wick Talk 17:23 Kids and Screen Time 18:07 SNL Clips and Awkwardness 18:39 One Year After Flood 21:48 Dogs and Workouts 24:19 Kids Sports and Gym 25:42 World Cup Ticket Shock 27:16 Luxury Spending and Debt 29:08 Scientology TikTok Runs 31:05 Vatican Vault Mysteries 34:10 Area 51 and Secret Access 36:03 Vault Facts and Church Attic 37:24 From Jokes to Grief 39:02 What Unanswered Means 40:16 Widow and Hannah 43:39 Prayer Is Complicated 46:50 Thy Will Be Done 48:01 Suffering and Jesus 50:11 Living With Tension 54:21 Why Not You 58:41 Praying Intentionally 1:01:43 Silence and Solitude 1:03:33 Wrap Up

On this week's podcast, we check out Normal, which features Bob Odenkirk as a hangdog lawman who's been assigned as the temporary sheriff of a small town in Minnesota called Normal. But, you guessed it, it turns out this sleepy town and its quaint residents aren't that normal at all. Much punching, shooting and exploding ensues in this B-movie action flick from director Ben Wheatley and writer Derek Kolstad, who created the John Wick and Nobody franchises.  Then we're off to Malaysia for Queer as Punk, a meditative documentary following the queer punk band Shh... Diam!, whose music and existence stand in protest against the rise of anti-LGBTQ sentiment from the Malaysian government. And finally, after much discussion and confusion on The CineSkinny WhatsApp group chat, we discuss the subtle art of cinematography and ask what draws people to certain cinematographic styles and aesthetics… or something.

Tony and Fingers review Montana’s Running Iron Straight Whiskey from Dry Hills Distillery. It’s a 90-proof straight whiskey made from 100% wheat, which sends Tony into full investigative mode after discovering it does not appear on Dry Hills’ current website. The guys break down the nose, palate, heat, oak, fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, and what happens when it opens up with water or a cube. The big question: is it worth hunting down at around $50 a bottle? Also: Anheuser-Busch plans a major U.S. investment, Tony and Fingers revisit the Bud Light backlash, Fingers explains why he wants to be left alone with his beer, and Tony learns something disturbing — Fingers has never seen Top Gun.

Matt and Eric kick off a five-flick Bourne run with 2002's THE BOURNE IDENTITY, a grounded gritty amnesiac assassin saga starring Matt Damon as a spy who know too little. Practically nothing, actually.

What if everything you were meant to build was already waiting on the other side of a door you almost never opened? In this episode, Jeremy Barker, founder and CEO of Murphy Door, shares the origin story behind one of the most inventive brands in home design. Murphy Door now controls roughly 92% of global search for hidden doors, ships a door every six minutes, and has served everyone from homeowners building Barbie rooms to the creators of the John Wick experience in Las Vegas. Jeremy didn't start as a businessperson. He was a full-time firefighter paramedic who wanted to build a hidden theater room for his daughters on a tight budget. That creative problem turned into a multi-million dollar company, a patented ladder brand, a real estate portfolio, and a peer review software platform. At the center of all of it is a man who almost missed everything because he used to burn the bridges other people were trying to build for him.   [00:03:40] What He Does Founder and CEO of Murphy Door, a Utah-based manufacturer of hidden-door furniture and experiential design Also created Murphy Ladder, a patented collapsible ladder, and Purebrand, a peer-powered customer review platform Holds a growing portfolio of commercial real estate and hotels Ships a door every six minutes; Murphy Door owns roughly 92% of global search for hidden doors [00:04:20] How Murphy Door Started Was a full-time firefighter paramedic trying to build a small hidden theater room for his daughters Couldn't find anyone making the door hardware he needed, so he designed his own hinges Sold the hinges as a side business while still fighting fires; grew to $5 million in revenue by 2016 His wife pointed out he was working 520 hours a month; he left full-time firefighting to focus solely on the business [00:08:00] What Inspires Him Loves helping businesses create immersive experiences, not just products Built the hidden door systems for the John Wick experience in Las Vegas for Lionsgate Gets to work with everyone from 8-year-olds wanting a Barbie room to 70-year-olds building speakeasies and humidors Feels like Forrest Gump every day: sitting across from people he has admired for years and wondering how he got there [00:12:20] The Relationship That Changed Everything: John Porter John Porter was the state president of his local LDS congregation who took a liking to Jeremy despite Jeremy not being a churchgoer He saw something in Jeremy that Jeremy couldn't see in himself and provided the financial backing to help him get there Jeremy openly admits he used to burn bridges, take personal credit for everything, and dismiss the role others played in his success Two bankruptcies and a period of serious depression were what finally shifted his perspective on relationships [00:15:00] How He Pays It Forward Looks for opportunities every day to give, ideally in ways that help the most people with the same amount of effort Helped bring PulsePoint software to his county in Utah, which notifies all first responders of nearby cardiac arrests so anyone can run and help Also supports drug rehabilitation efforts and various community programs Believes giving money is the lazy version of giving; giving time is the real currency [00:21:00] The Vision: Murphy Door as a Manufacturing Laboratory Sees Murphy Door not as a door company but as a laboratory for the future of domestic manufacturing and mass customization Because they source domestic commodities and manufacture locally, their inventory tail is essentially zero This allows full customization: customers choose wood type, handle, size, swing, and finish with delivery in around 30 days Believes tariffs are important because they push companies to manufacture closer to home, reducing logistics waste and supply chain vulnerability [00:26:00] Taking Care of People First Murphy Door employees receive 100% health, dental, and vision coverage, 4% 401k match, tuition reimbursement, maternity leave, and five weeks off Operates on an inverted pyramid: employees come first, customers come second Learned the hard way that happy employees produce happy customers; he was doing it backwards for years Murphy Door holds a 4.9 Google rating across hundreds of reviews [00:33:40] What Every One-Star Review Is Really Worth Doesn't believe in one-star or five-star reviews as true measures of quality Sees every one-star as a 360-degree review opportunity to understand the full experience that led someone there Prefers customers call him directly before leaving a bad review; he will take the call and fix it Created Purebrand specifically to help businesses get more honest, actionable, and complete customer feedback [00:36:20] Founder Fallout: The Book Published a book called Founder Fallout covering 100 questions to ask before taking on a business partner or splitting equity Designed for entrepreneurs who have a great idea and a good friend but haven't asked the hard questions yet Includes a workbook for sitting down with a current or future partner Available on Amazon; his uncle said he should have read it before getting married   KEY QUOTES "Murphy Door owns about 92% of the world's search of hidden doors right now. We became the category, which you always dream of." — Jeremy Barker "As much as you hunt for growth in work, you should hunt just as much for the opportunity to give." — Jeremy Barker "I put my employees first and my customers second. It's really hard to have super happy customers if you have super unhappy employees." — Jeremy Barker CONNECT WITH JEREMY BARKER

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay find themselves in a mob war between the Russians and Chinese as they discuss the criminally underrated actioner 'Safe.' Bombay kicks things into action with a story similar to what Jason Statham does, as he took a cab to pick up a lady of the night. Then the boys talk about an action flick that is overflowing with bone crunching action, and pithy Statham one liners. The movie is referred to by some as John Wick 0.87 as it was a dry run for the 87North stunt guys to test out their fight choreography concepts before launching the John Wick franchise. In many ways, 'Safe' is as important to action cinema as any American movie of the past two decades. Along with being an incredible vehicle for Statham to flex his chops, it also has a '90s New York feel, and that's thanks in large part to being directed by Boaz Yakin. The Israeli New Yorker who wrote the 1989 'The Punisher' movie, and has a varied filmography including 'Fresh,' 'Remember the Titans,' and 'Uptown Girls.' Besides the incredible action, there's a ton of heart in this film as it uses the trope of two loners forming a family themselves in a cruel world. It's riddled with otherworldly action, but also grounded in a grittiness that will have you wondering why the 87North crew hasn't given Statham his own franchise. 

On the third episode of Airpril, U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip is out for revenge for the death of his partner and brother by crazed former DEA Agent Ty Moncrief. But in order to fulfill his vengeance, he'll have to take to the skies and master the most extreme sport of all in John Badham's skydiving action thrillride Drop Zone.I'm your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this jump are fellow cinephiles and extreme sports fans Mike and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that could be described as “aggressively 90s”; Wesley Snipes can't decide if his character is John Wick or the comic relief; and finally, Ryan's journey with this film comes full circle as he regales us with his tale of staying in “The Drop Zone Room” at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

When Kate Freund was a child, she wanted to learn how to fight. But her mother signed her up for dance classes instead. However, the dance lessons didn’t supplant her desire to kick ass. Freund instead combined these two passions into Pretty Lethal; a screenplay about a group of ballerinas who must battle their way out of a bar full of criminals. The film took over a decade to see the light of day. After many starts and stops, it was released earlier this year on Amazon Prime with a stacked cast that includes Uma Thurman, Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor,

When you think of some small town in Minnesota, do you think of action, intrigue, explosive excitement? No? Me neither. I think of ice augers, hot dish and grumpy old men, not automatic weapons, rocket launchers and C4 explosives. This week's movie, “Normal”, might just blow your mind about small town Minnesota. Bob Odenkirk stars as Sheriff Ulysses Richardson who is serving as the temporary sheriff in the small town of Normal, Minnesota. At first it's what he expects. Overly friendly people, potlucks and snow. Along the way, he sees some suspicious things that make his curiosity alarm bells go off such as the police armory with a weapons stockpile you could invade a small country with. Then a bank robbery lights the fuse on the town having to reveal its dark secret to the new sheriff and soon it's adios Minnesota nice, hello Minnesota mayhem. Is it worth checking this out at the theater? Watch this episode of Movies Merica to find out! “Normal” also stars Ryan Allen, Billy MacLellan, Lena Headey, Henry Winkler, Reena Jolly, Brendan Fletcher, Peter Shinkoda, Jess McLeod and David Lawrence Brown. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Kristian Harloff breaks down the biggest movie news stories of the day, including the huge global box office debut for Michael, the latest on Daredevil: Born Again and its ratings struggles, a disappointing delay for Rush Hour 4, and major updates in the John Wick universe with Caine officially beginning production and new details on John Wick 5. If you're looking for the latest movie news, box office analysis, franchise updates, and industry breakdowns, today's Kristian Harloff Show has you covered. First, Kristian reacts to Michael opening to a massive $217 million worldwide, giving the Michael Jackson biopic one of the strongest debuts of the year. Is Michael already on its way to becoming one of the biggest music biopics ever? Kristian breaks down what the box office numbers mean for Jaafar Jackson, Antoine Fuqua, and the future of musical biopics in Hollywood. Next, Daredevil: Born Again is making headlines for the wrong reasons. Despite major anticipation from Marvel fans, new reports suggest Daredevil: Born Again has not delivered the ratings Marvel Studios may have hoped for. Kristian discusses what this could mean for Charlie Cox, the future of Daredevil in the MCU, and whether Marvel's Disney+ strategy is starting to show real cracks. Kristian also covers the latest on Rush Hour 4, as the long-awaited sequel has reportedly hit another major delay. With both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker aging out of the demanding action-comedy franchise, is Rush Hour 4 still realistic? Kristian discusses whether the sequel can still happen and if the moment has already passed for one of the most beloved buddy-cop franchises ever. Finally, the John Wick universe keeps expanding. Caine, the Donnie Yen-led John Wick spinoff, has officially started filming, while new reports reveal that the idea for John Wick 5 is already in motion. Kristian breaks down what this means for Donnie Yen's future in the franchise, whether Keanu Reeves could return, and how far Lionsgate can realistically push the John Wick universe.

Tom and Kathryn are gone. That means today's show is just Andy and Kristyn, right? Nope, Kristyn is gone too. Good thing she's got a husband who's no stranger to a microphone. It's also a good thing that Bob and Mike Bryant were there, because Raphael is a sports oddsmaker - among other things. Have you ever bet on how many people John Wick would kill?

For our second Patreon Month recommendation, we're taking a look at a heavy hitter in the action genre, courtesy of Wait Watcher Kory T. from the World is My Burrito Podcast. This time, we dive into The Raid 2, a film that's often brought up in conversations about the greatest action movies ever made. Its influence can be felt across modern action cinema, from the slick choreography of John Wick and its sequels to films like Atomic Blonde, Extraction, and even Nobody. But does it live up to that reputation for us? We break down where it excels—and where it might lose us. Phil's reaction to the film's intense violence, especially its graphic depiction of injuries like broken and exposed bones, and a heads-up for listeners who might find that level of brutality hard to watch  The film's lasting pop culture impact, with its influence stretching beyond movies into gaming and anime, and why it still gets brought up in action conversations today  Whether the story tries to do too much, layering in complex plotlines that may not be compelling enough to justify how difficult they can be to follow  The two-and-a-half-hour runtime, which is a significant jump from The Raid, and whether that added length helps or hurts the overall experience  The camera work, including heavy use of shaky cam that at times feels overdone and distracting rather than immersive  Standout action sequences, especially the iconic kitchen fight and the memorable showdown with “Bat Man” and “Hammer Girl,” which highlight the film at its absolute best Tune in as we unpack one of the most talked-about action films of the last decade and decide where it lands for us.Letterbox'd Synopsis: After fighting his way through an apartment building populated by an army of dangerous criminals and escaping with his life, SWAT team member Rama goes undercover, joining a powerful Indonesian crime syndicate to protect his family and uncover corrupt members of his own force.

Ben Wheatley's latest action film, Normal, is now in theaters. Ian recently sat down with star Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show, Better Call Saul, Nobody) and writer Derek Kolstad (creator of John Wick, Nobody) for a quick, fun, and informative interview.The film centers on "substitute sheriff" Ulysses Richardson (Odenkirk), who has landed in the titular Minnesota backwater after its previous lawman died mysteriously. Ulysses soon learns that not everything in Normal is "Minnesota Nice": a botched bank robbery reveals a conspiracy that forces him to fight his way out of a town that's gunning for him.In this brief, spoiler-free conversation, Ian talks with Bob and Derek about their unlikely creative partnership that has spanned three movies in five years; creating innovative kill scenes; and investing more into action/comedies than just gags and gunfights.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow Links:Watch the Normal (2026) trailer."Castle Freaks" is the next leg in our classic horror journey.

Bob Odenkirk has pivoted from sketch comedy to dramatic acting and, most recently, to late-middle-aged action star. In the new film Normal, he plays a small-town sheriff who finds out his small town isn't so normal after all, which will of course require some sexagenarian butt-kicking. The cast includes Henry Winkler and Lena Headey, and was written by Derek Kolstad, the mind behind the John Wick franchise. Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureSubscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour  See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode, Dustin's pick returns to the topic of Eli Roth as we discuss another film from his body of work. No, it's not an alternate universe John Wick movie, but if you squint hard enough, we understand. Join us as we check out Roth's modernized remake of 70's classic Death Game: Knock Knock from 2015. But is this a rightly maligned career low point or a misunderstood masterpiece? We get into it and, of course, have a lengthy discussion about the concept of free pizza.

The Superhero Show #618Comic Book Catch Up! - Supergirl, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, X-Men News, &...Taylor Swift?!The Superhero Show — Comic Book Catch Up: Supergirl, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, X-Men, & Taylor SwiftThis week, The Superhero Show takes a break from its usual 90s cartoon deep dives for a special Comic Book Catch Up - Supergirl, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, X-Men, & Taylor Swift episode. Instead of revisiting animated classics, the hosts jump headfirst into the biggest comic book movie and comics news making waves right now—from fresh trailers and reboot chatter to the internet's hottest fan reactions.It's a fun, fast-moving episode that blends real news analysis with the same comic book passion listeners expect from the show.Comic Book Catch Up - A New Look at SupergirlThe hosts kick things off with the newly released full trailer for Supergirl, which has fans buzzing thanks to its cosmic scale, darker emotional tone, and heavy inspiration from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.They break down Milly Alcock's take on Kara, the bigger focus on Krypto, and the revenge-driven galaxy-spanning quest teased in the footage. The conversation leans into how different this version feels from previous live-action Supergirl adaptations, with the hosts debating whether the “space John Wick” comparisons are a selling point or a sign DC is taking the character in a bold new direction.Naturally, they also spend time talking about the internet's reaction—ranging from fans thrilled by the Woman of Tomorrow influence to others cautiously wondering if the film may lean too grim.Comic Book Catch Up - Peter Parker's Fresh Start in Brand New DayNext up is Marvel's latest big reveal: the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The hosts dig into what makes this new chapter feel so exciting, especially with Peter Parker now operating in a world where nobody remembers who he is.They speculate on the “back to basics” New York street-level tone, the mysterious new threats teased in the footage, and how this trailer suggests a major tonal reset after the multiversal chaos of No Way Home. The discussion also touches on fan theories already flooding the internet, from villain predictions to surprise cameo rumors.The hosts especially enjoy talking about how the title Brand New Day evokes one of Marvel Comics' most debated Spider-Man eras, giving this trailer a little extra comic-book-nerd electricity.Comic Book Catch Up - The X-Men Reboot Temperature CheckThe middle section of the show shifts to Marvel's slowly developing X-Men reboot, where the hosts catch up on the newest behind-the-scenes developments.They discuss the latest writers now reportedly attached to the project, what that might signal tonally for Marvel's mutants, and whether the studio seems ready to finally commit to a definitive vision for the MCU's version of the team. More importantly, this becomes a great “temperature check” segment: how is the internet feeling, and how are they feeling?That opens the door for some classic Superhero Show banter—balancing cautious optimism, fan-casting wish lists, and the very real fear that Marvel may overcomplicate what should be a simple, character-first mutant story.Comic Book Catch Up -The Unexpected Joy of Female Force: Taylor SwiftTo close things out, the hosts take a delightfully weird detour into comics history with Female Force: Taylor Swift, the biographical comic centered on Taylor Swift.This final segment gives the episode a playful, lighthearted energy as they explore the comic's place in the long-running Female Force series, talk about the surreal charm of celebrity biography comics, and have fun imagining what a modern expanded Swift comic universe might even look like.It's the perfect closer: still comic-book related, but with plenty of laughs and pop culture crossover appeal.Final Thoughts — Comic Book Catch Up - Supergirl, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, X-Men, & Taylor SwiftBy the end of this Comic Book Catch Up - Supergirl, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, X-Men, & Taylor Swift episode, The Superhero Show proves it can be just as entertaining covering current comic book news as it is revisiting 90s animation.From the cosmic ambition of Supergirl, to the fresh-start energy of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, to the always-dangerous discourse surrounding X-Men, and finally the unexpected joy of the Taylor Swift Female Force comic, this episode offers the perfect mix of news, fandom, and fun.Need to Catch Up on the Latest News?Check out some of our favorite go-to sources!Want More From Us?We've talked about Spider-Man plenty in the past and you probably have some catching up to do!
