Special Report: Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Guest Co-Hosts: Josh Hadley, Chris Stachiw

For a special live podcast, Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast), Josh Haldey (1201 Beyond), and Mike joined up to discuss Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021): a film many years in the making. We discuss both the Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder versions. We compare the two to find any redemptive qualities in either and talk about how the newer version acts as origin stories for a few of the film's main characters.

You can hear the edited version of the podcast or watch the un-edited version as a YouTube video below.
