Ep. 97 Black Widow

Since the Cold War, the American public has been obsessed with espionage.  From James Bond, to Ethan Hunt, and now Natasha Romanoff, spies have become heroes to a lot of people.  While typically known for crazy gadgets, Black Widow takes a more forceful approach.  She relies on martial arts to get the job done, but the question in this movie is:  Who is pulling the strings and how?  Chemical mind control plays a key role in this movie, and begs the question:  How do we know we are in control of our actions?  We also look at The Taskmaster’s ability to mimic all sorts of fighting styles, and why this is such a huge advantage.  We answer all of these questions as well as covering aging superheroes, snorting SweeTarts, & Andre The Giant.
