Laugh It Up Fuzzballs (Ep. 350) - The Torment of DC Live-Action

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This is a look into the world of geekdom and some geek news, comics, The Simpsons, Star Wars, and whatever randomness finds its way onto the recording. This level of the podcast is another special episode. In honor of the 350th episode, Marshall Danny, Blue, and I held another tournament or “torment” ranking movies against each other. For this one, inspired by our MCU episode (Level 339), we ranked the live-action DC films and once again it was a blast. The bracket is below if you’re curious. The ranking are courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes, Imdb, and metacritic. 36 films battling it out over 34 rounds. If you stick around to the end there’s even a bonus conversation. Enjoy!
