What starts as a regular session of Our Love/Hate Relationship with Comic Culture quickly mutates into a full-on multiversal glitch when Colin. Freaking.

Pete’s dialing in from a Cincinnati record bin, Tat’s got notes like court exhibits, and Mickey’s already swinging.

Pete Rock, Mickey Factz, and Tat Wza skip Peacemaker homework like pros and sprint into the rumor-verse: RDJ vs. Reynolds on set (egos with capes), Deadpool maybe benched for Secret Wars, and “is Cumberbatch clocking out as Strange?” They toast Fantastic Four hitting $500M, daydream an Andrew Garfield comeback (Sony, stop villain solo movies), and pitch a two-part Secret Wars where Doom wins… for...

Pete Rock live-reacts to Peacemaker while Mickey Factz warms to the Gunn-verse and Tat Wza polices continuity like a hall monitor with receipts.
