Episode 27 – Smash Bros Assemble!

It’s our 27th episode!

This week my buddy Matt Drane is back and we talk about Super Smash Bros, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Avengers 4 (aka Endgame) rumors, Batman: The Animated Series, the return of Young Justice, the DC Universe streaming entertainment platform, a Superman video game that will probably never get made, and a bunch of other stuff.

Please watch this tribute to Captain America in the MCU and just try to say he’s not the absolute best of the best of the best.
