Episode Summary
This week Young Phil, Jahmez5000, and Jen the Fray bring the chaos (and tacos) to Ep. 243! From Edge of Tomorrow 2 looping back into existence to Sam Raimi’s rumored MCU return, we’re speculating hard. Is Doom the puppet master setting up Avengers vs. X-Men? Is Hulk about to get angrier (and grayer)? And is Ryan Gosling the Jedi heartthrob Star Wars never knew it needed?
Also, Tulsa’s giant oil worker statue officially became “Tulsa’s Flat Ass.” You’re welcome.
