Jason returns from the mountaintops to talk about recent cinema sequels 'Wicked: For Good' and 'Zootopia 2' before diving into Darwyn Cooke's seminal limited series for DC. The duo break down its nature as an origin story for various classic Silver Age superheroes, as an idealistic wish-fulfilment post-WWII McCarthy-era fantasy, and as a possible template for future films in James Gunn's DCU.
