This week, the guys are approached by a wizard offering them amazing powers, should they be worthy. Oh wait, that's actually the plot of the new film they are talking about this week, "Shazam!".
How did the original Captain Marvel stay obscure for so long? Why have most people never heard of him? How does this more comedic film fit into the DC Film universe? Is Zachary Levi convincing in the role?
