It's like this big heist, man, where Scott's gotta use his skills and suit to save the day, all while pulling off some wild stunts and cracking jokes. It's a whole lotta tiny action and big-time hero stuff, you dig?" Did we love it, did we hate it, did we accidentally go plaid, er... subatomic...? Check it out this month on Puny Pod!!
