AUDIO NOTE – David’s microphone began generating static during segment three when the laptop he was recording began to run low on memory. We corrected the issue as much as we could and will avoid it in the future. Thanks.

This week, Patches, Joanna, David and Da7e talk about Pajiba’s Open Letter to Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara that started the rumor that Wonder Woman, next year’s DC Fils installment, might not be good. That’s after Joanna, David, and Patches discuss Netflix’s new show The Get Down about the birth of hip hop in New York and all four hosts quickly list off some pop culture they feel on the outside of at the moment.

Plus a "bad" mini segment

This week, Patches, Joanna, David and Da7e debate how much they can hold Stephen Colbert responsible for apologizing to Donald Trump on the Late Show last year, only to use him as a target for ridicule to boost his ratings now. Then, David wants everyone to pick a single "best living director" for a mini segment, then with Pete's Dragon coming out this week and garnaring some good reviews, we ponder the state of Children's/Family films in a year of talking animal overload.
