260: Stop Talking about Comic Books (or I'll Kill You)

Movie Meltdown - Episode 260 This episode we continue our discussion of graphic novels turned into movies that we began in episode 259. But this time we branch out with questions like, ‘Do we always NEED an origin story’? And some of us come clean about just when we decided to stop hiding that comic geek inside of us.
