Science Fiction: We spend most of our science fiction time this week talking about the finale to LOKI, ‘For All Time. Always.’ We talk about the amazing Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains *cough* Kang *cough* and what the MCU is going to do now that variants can run wild and there appears to be an uncontrolled multiverse. We also discuss the differences between TV and Movies and what those differences should be in the future. Ben really wanted to talk about Space Jam 2, but that’ll have to wait until next week (mostly).
