Animation Damnation: Fantastic Four - "Mole Man"

We also have Rockefeller Center sinking into the ground, an obnoxious landlord character voiced by Stan Lee's wife, some gross subt...

John Wick: Chapter 2mentary

On our commentary track for the super-fun sequel, John Wick: Chapter 2, we’re sitting back in awe as Wick shoots, stabs, punches, and kicks his way through New York City, Rome, and then New York City again! How great is all the car stuff at the beginning at Peter Stormare’s operation? Did they really need to open up the mythology of the assassin world with all these coins and rules and what not? Does John Wick live in a barren, personality-free Airbnb? And could ...
