Steve and friends return for season two, stronger, faster, and better. Not really, they're just fatter. They discuss Nick Spencer's sequel to Kraven's Last Hunt and true to form, experience all new technical difficulties. It's probably Steve's fault.

Steve, who loves Mike Pence more than Pence loves Garfield, discusses Superman For All Seasons and John Byrne's Man of Steel with his co-hosts.
