Episode 98 - SDCC Recap and Muppets From Space!

July 31, 2018

San Diego Comic Con is over and boy did it have a lot of Nerdy News! We'll cover all that and review the many trailers that were released along with it. Including Star Wars casting and info on the Wonder Woman sequel! See the listing of all the trailers we used for the episode HERE

For our main segment we'll be continuing our ongoing segment of reviewing all the Star Trek and Muppet films, with...  Muppets from Space! 

In light of Muppets from Space largely being considered a failure, Steve will discuss other random failures made by big companies throughout the years.

Then join us for some slightly different Radical Recommends to round out the episode.
