This week, Eric Houstoun joins Earl and Shawn to talk all about San Diego Comic-Con! They get into all the upcoming films getting hyped up, the ire over Batman vs. Superman and Ant-Man, and how an Evil Dead TV series could ever work. They also dive into Eric’s favourite comic books, Hellboy, his indirect run-in with Guillermo del Toro, and what else he’s checking out. And along the way, Earl discovers kid killing is a recurring theme in comic books, Shawn learns his references are lost on many, and Eric compares the Fantastic Four to Everybody Loves Raymond.
