EPISODE 044 - I Need a Hero

The Movie Topic:
"Whether from the pages of a monthly comic book or a direct creation of a filmmaker's imagination, super hero movies are often FUN to watch! If you disagree, well, this may not be the discussion for you. Tonight, we're going to talk about caped crusaders and other super-powered fighters for truth, justice, and the pursuit of butterscotch pudding."
