Then, we react to the massive D23 announcements, including the official X-Men cast (Sadie Sink, Adam Driver, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor), the insane Avengers: Doomsday trailer breakdown, Vision Quest updates, and controversial news like 3D Bluey and Frozen 3. Later, we review Blumhouse's latest horror hit Obsession directed by Curry Barker, touch on new TV shows like Reacher and Lanterns, and sit down with special guest Viking's Collectibles! We talk about card shows, eating spicy peppers for pack openings, and his awesome Squirtle Squad charity binder raising funds for breast cancer research.
