iFanboy - Comic Books

Something was in the water this week. The show was running short (!!!) and then it ended up evening out. How? Lots and lots of tangents and a deep, deep dive (with tangents!) on an email, that's how.

So, here's what happened. Conor and Josh both watched a dumb movie about the end of the world (Moonfall, 2022), and then watched another dumb movie about the end of the world (Geostorm, 2017), and we wanted to talk about them, and here it is. Are they good movies? Well, yes and no. Does the real science matter? Certainly not. Does Los Angeles get destroyed again? Damn right.Running Time: 00:55:47Music:"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"Bob Dylan Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
