053 - Colossus Explode (with Will Reyes & Josh Tariff)

The team is joined by author and poet Will Reyes, and improviser and wrestling hotshot Josh Tariff. In response to the recent loss of Nichelle Nichols, the team answers the question, "What's a pop culture character who influenced your life path?" We define the differences between characters and the actors who formed them, learn what joke songs led to big legal battles, discuss superheroes and just what sacrifices one of our guests is willing to make to protect one on his favorite T-shirt, and the wide ranging of skills dads employ to protect, or endanger, their kids.  Cast: Jen Burton, Chris Compton, Stephen C.
