We’re back and cooking in our new Lab, with all kinds of topics for our Pals!

This week, Matty discusses his live theatre debut, and the Pals discuss the beauty of their Sunday schedule before delving into last night’s Episode of “The Last of Us”. Then, it’s a rough night for Marvel as we question our faith in the MCU after a torturous screening of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” and express our doubts about the remainder of Phase 5, while hoping for just a brief glimmer of hope from “Cocaine Bear.”
