Season 2, Episode 5

In tonight's episode, Ron, Jeff, and Mario kick things off by discussing Marvel's unconventional approach to unveiling 26 actors and actresses who have been cast in Avengers: Doomsday, along with their roles in the highly anticipated film. Ron shares his theory about how the Avengers might end up facing off against Dr. Doom, and it’s revealed that this movie could feature as many as 42 to 43 superheroes on screen.

Next, the conversation turns to The Batman 2, directed by Matt Reeves. The team delves into the new direction for the sequel, which will shift away from the gritty detective genre of the first film and embrace elements of science fiction and fantasy. With Reeves confirming the film will take place during winter, speculation grows that Batman's next foe could be none other than Mr. Freeze.

The hosts then discuss the buzz surrounding a potential new Champions series for Disney+ featuring an all-female superhero cast. They explore the original 1975 comic book lineup and speculate on which characters might appear in the series if it comes to life.

The conversation takes a turn as they discuss the trailer for Ryan Coogler's upcoming film Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan. Ron reveals that he only recently discovered the movie will feature vampires, adding an intriguing twist to the film's premise.

To close out the episode, the team tackles the "Question of the Week": Do vigilantes like Batman and Daredevil, who fight against crime, have a moral justification for breaking laws that would land ordinary citizens in jail? The hosts offer their thoughts on this complex ethical dilemma.
