A Really Fun and Relaxing Podcast
Just discovered the podcast and it’s a great time. Box Office, Marvel, DC, and more talk about popular franchises/universes? That’s my kind of podcast. Love the energy that David and Matt bring onto the episodes and the passion they have for the stuff they talk about is all over it.
