On this episode the bro's have their first ever guest, Sammy from Knerds of the Roundtable. And it was great that he was there.

Shade is thrown toward Edison, there are clones (so many clones), and brotherly love (ok, fistfights). Intrigued? Press play!

On this episode the three bros review Sam's pick - Venomverse written by Cullen Bunn with art by Iban Coello. In this graphic novel we learn that Deadpool has another superpower, that poison is worse than venom, and that it's ok for things to be fun. Intrigued? Then press play!

We have no idea if the episode's any good but we had a blast recording it. It's our first effort, give us a chance.
