This is the week it feels like we’ve been waiting on for so long; it has finally arrived. All 4 hours of the Snyder Cut have dropped and the time to dissect this beast is here. The always amazing Noah Reno takes a break from his busy streaming schedule (which you should totally check out) to help break down this titanic movie event.

The show starts off red hot with a certified fan favorite impression as Justin gives us Gilbert Gottfried ASMR and JOI. Yes, you read those right and you’ll have to listen in to make sure you witness that greatness. Everything after this point in the show is absolutely littered with spoilers so if you haven't watched the Snyder Cut and still plan to, press pause after Gilbert Gottfried JOI.

The panel gives their overall impression of the film and shares how surprised they were that they actually liked it. That’s not to say it didn’t have its flaws. The dorks dive into a conversation about specific elements of the film like bad CGI, use of the 4:3 aspect ratio, the speed force, the coolness of Aquaman, the name for a five-pointed trident, the need for Martian Manhunter’s introduction, and Batman taking on the role of The Oracle. The guys also come to an agreement about laying blame at the feet of the studio, Warner Bros., for most of the bad and inconsistent elements of the film...and greater DCEU.

After a big discussion about the epilogue and the inevitable conversation about Jared Leto’s Joker, the throw-down pits Jared Leto’s Joker against Iron Man 3’s The Mandarin. Which Mandarin is it? Well, you’ll just have to tune in, won’t you?
