Brian Had To Pee!

Join Brian & David as they pontificate on geek culture permeation into everyday life, Halloween Horror Nights, theme parks, the impending Disney/Fox merger, & a Russo Brothers 'Secret Wars' tease.

Plus, DCEU vs. MCU universe building, a brief discussion on Image comics properties moving to small & large screens, Steven Spielberg's comments on Netflix movies, and Netflix as an industry disruptor.

Because geek is here to stay, traditional & streaming studios are snatching up comics properties like hotcakes! What do you want to see on your screens?
