Superhero Fatigue… Even in My Dreams
In Episode 2, Vince opens up about a dream where a squad of overly helpful superheroes keeps swooping into his life, only unasked, uninvited and wildly overenthusiastic. Think: Avengers-level intervention for extremely normal tasks like opening a pickle jar or finding a parking spot at the supermarket.
Josh does his best to interpret the symbolism, while Vince tries to figure out why his subconscious is apparently staffed by a full Justice League.
Then Josh and Vince tackle the topic of the never-ending avalanche of superhero movies and TV shows or The Great Cape Overload! Our dynamic duo discuss fan burnout, completist guilt and the pressure to be “caught up” in a universe that expands faster than we can watch.
In this episode they debate:
- Are we oversaturated?
- Is it possible to actually keep up anymore?
- Does skipping one Disney+ show or movie disqualify you from “true fan” status?
- And why does it seem that every single plot if for the fate of the world!?
