One of the best parts about being a fan is coming up with your own theories and stories about the stories you love. But when does it go too far? That’s what I talk about in this episode of my podcast.

…Recommends Movies and TV (Justice League Stars)
With the news that Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be released on HBO Max in 2021, I thought I’d recommend a few other projects that the stars of JL have worked on in the past.
…About Batman (Ranking the Movies)
It’s Batman’s 80th anniversary this weekend, and I’m ranking all the Batman movies we’ve seen on the big screen.

…About Violence in Movies and TV

…About Nostalgia
Nostalgia can be a great thing, helping us remember the things we grew up with, the things that comforted us and helped make us the people we are. Nobody likes it when someone messes with our favorite franchises. But we need to be willing to let new versions of them grow so new generations can form their own sources of nostalgia.
…About Justice League As An Ensemble Movie
For the last decade, people have been saying DC should make movies the way Marvel makes them. But shouldn’t DC do things their own way, the way that’s worked for them for almost 80 years?
…About Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is a phenomenal character who was created to be the equal of other superheroes, and time has proven that she is.
