#19 - Zack Snyder's Justice League Thicc
4/6/2021
Bob and Akil took a deep breath and watched all 4 hours of the Zack Snyder Justice League cut on HBO. This movie is THICC as hell. It might be the most dense thing we've seen in a long time. We just about drowned in the dripping melodrama that enveloped us, but there is some laughs here thanks to Puffy Batman and the League of Flat Actors. Poor Flash being written like that. It was four hours but it felt like five. Let Akil and Bob drop the final word onto this cinematic curiosity of...

3/8/2021
Bob and Drew persevere in the face of mediocrity as they rise up to the challenge of watching every ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. This go around we discuss the whimpering, surprisingly uninformative documentary "House of Steinbrenner" directed by Barbera Koppel. It's about the Yankee's and their eccentric owner(s), but mostly it's fans sobbing uncontrollably at a camera as old stadiums get torn down and new stadiums get put up. They're really irate about the sushi. So much crying. We also...

Eldridge from the Documenters finally joins Bob in a prelude conversation devoted to our upcoming reading series.
