While Clint and I continue our review of Marvel's LOKI (2021), we also diverge into some speculation about what the future holds for the MCU and it's exploration or reinterpretation of characters we've seen before (i.e. the X-Men).

Clint and Austin sit down to discuss what worked and what didn't in the film, Snyder's creative use of horror movie tropes, and how...

Austin can hear the unnerving sound of the cord winding and he immediately realizes what is happening. "I beat you!" Austin shouts angrily through blubbering tears. "I've beaten your game. What more do yo...

Clint and Austin wake up in a bathroom that smells like the inside of a rotten whale carcass smothered in moldy butter then left to bake in the sun for three days before birds added their guano to it and a few dead fish fell inside the whale’s blowhole. A toy puppet appears out of the shadows and a voice seems to echo from it: “I want to play a game. In the Blu-Ray player before you sits the Saw C...
