2018 goes to show us once again: Just because it was a gag years ago on the HBO show 'Entourage' doesn't mean it cant come to pass in reality! (What's the other thing you might ask? Look up 'Gotti' and you may see what we mean...) Anyway! AQUAMAN!
On this special holiday-time episode, Jack, Guest Star Matt, and (GASP!) Andrew for his first episode since the summer, talk about the new blockbuster extravaganza - the latest attempt by the DCEU to plant a footing in the franchise market-world that we're all in, from director James Wan, in what seems to be an unlikely hit: a film starring that big muscled dude from Game of Thrones that your wife (or your husband) has some fantasies about
, featuring Dolph Lundgren riding a seahorse, a Vangelis-esque 80s score, and giant crab monsters that are meant to be taken *very* seriously. Oh, and is it fun, you may ask? Listen further to find out in this saga of the conflicts between two worlds: SURF and TURF!
