It is time. Something is awakening. Long has it slumbered beneath the city streets, unable to hear the urban rumble through the concrete above. But now, as Ben and Ian settle in to look at Akira , it rises from its merciful repose. Sure they’ll talk about how Akira was directed by Katsuhiro Otomo *, while starring Mitsuo Iwata , Nozomu Sasaki , and Mami Koyama ; but will they be able to reckon with the power they have awakened, far greater and more all consuming than they can imagine?

It's back, it's big, it's...four hours long?! Yep! In this episode, Ben, Ian and Matt discuss Zack Snyder's revisioning of the 2017 DC film Justice League, and try to unravel just what Zack Snyder's vision for the DC universe was (apart from a 4:3 film ratio). Zack Snyder's Justice League is starring Ben Affleck , Henry Caville, Amy Adams, Gal Godot, Ray Fisher , Jason Momoa , and Ezra Miller , delivering mixed levels of performance (spoiler alert: Ray Fisher steals the show). Is this version better? Does this movie deserve such a swift reboot? Should every superhero movie be four hours long? Tune in and find out! Watch the trailer here !

Alright, it's time for Ian to forget which David is which and Ben to have an existential crisis, because they're buckling down into the meta-flesh game pod thing to experience David Cronenberg's 1999 thriller eXistenZ . Come tune in as these two goons try to figure out if there is anything besides exposition in this retro look at what middle aged white dudes thought video games were. Featuring bewildering performances from Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law , accompanied by the always wild (if not charming) choices of Willem Dafoe and the heinous haircut they gave Christopher Eccleston . Also Ian Holm gives you a wonderful Hungarian accent, regardless of how accurate it is. So lube up your bio-port (gas station chapstick is interchangeable, tonguing/saliva is not) and tune in to 2 Many Flix!
