The heat is on! In this episode, the Critic and the Referee discuss the newly released X-Men: Apocalypse in the context of how today’s Hollywood handles the Summer Blockbuster. What aspects of superhero movies do they love, and which aspects do they wish were used more fully? Find out! In addition, they go through one more round of TV finales, including Blindspot, Nashville, The Path, Fear the Walking Dead, and The Night Manager. And, as always, there’s a “Pick of the Week” that you’ve got to see and a “Did You Know?” segment that you won’t see coming. Well, what are you waiting for? Dive in!
