Episode 69 This week we are jumping on the highly anticipated and well reviewed film, Fantastic Four, and sharing the best and worst super powers in film. Additionally, we are continuing our charity work by introducing our friend, Joey Azzarello, to the wonders of the Empire Strikes Back.

This is inspired by the new to video KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and Bubbawheat from the sites Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights & Channel: Superhero will team up with us to choose a winner.
