Others want to watch their fa...

Described as one of the Wildest films ever, "Titane" forces us to confront our expectations of movies, and our guest panel this week was divided on how much leeway to give the film.

No fireworks for the 600th Episode, but as a stand alone it is pretty solid. This week, the MCU appears again and we have five enthusiastic Lambs to talk about Shang Chi.
