GREETINGS TRUE BELIEVERS! Dave and Stew assemble and beam the Signal out on an icy night for the metropolis, as Dave tells us all about his recent Internet rap battle and his decision to GO NUCLEAR for a cause he can barely remember, while the boys discuss Mage by Matt Wagner, the mid 80’s indie classic. We ask the hard questions such as is everything told in narration by Tom King,  and debate what qualifies as pillow talk! Also Stew for some reason decides to act for the Prosecution as he tries to extract from Dave whether he prefers Spider-Man: Homecoming over Spider-Man 2! All this and more from the boys as the Signal beams BRIGHT and DEEP!
