Science Fiction: We have a chat about episode 6 of For All Mankind, Best Laid Plans. We don’t do it justice, please go watch the show. We do a recap of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, talk about who Isaiah Bradley is, and continue to be astounded on how the show deals with racism. We then move on to talk about The Snyder Cut. We talk about all the things that worked in this version of Justice League and a few things that didn’t. Overall, we totally dug it, and Steven is hoping for more.
