Snipped from the end of our Daredevil season 2 segment, a little chat about the upcoming Marvel Defenders team-up series featuring DD, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. (And possibly the Punisher too.) Do we think it’ll be good? What is our big idea for how they’ll bring them together?

If you like this tiny bit, you can try the entire hour-long podcast it was taken from here.

Our first deleted scene from the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice chat is our discussion of the final section of the film. This includes the very last plot event – if you’ve seen the movie, you know the one we mean. If you haven’t, be warned before you listen: massive spoiler. Also features Alastair getting quite angry on behalf of Sir Christopher Wren.

In yet another cut from our discussion of lost film genres, we wonder at the current small comeback the religious epic is enjoying. Yes, a short chat about Noah, just in time for Easter. (Also Exodus and Gods of Egypt.)

While discussing the failure of the musical genre to keep dominating Hollywood, Nick and Alastair slide into a tangential discussion of Glee, the “jukebox musical” and some other briefly-successful 2000s TV shows. But hey, at least they know they’re off-topic.
