We kick things off by discussing if we think any movie or movie franchise will ever be able to replicate Avengers Endgame. We also go into the current state of Marvel movies and comic books a bit.

After that, we go into some fun writing talk. We cover reading and writing burnout, the problem with writing stories in a contemporary setting, and why these darn kids today are screwing up text messaging.
