Getting Franchised Season 2: The Raid: Redemption 2011 & The Raid 2 2014
We invited Ron to join us for this episode after Chuck shared a scene from one of these movies with us, sparking our excitement to watch them. The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2 are incredibly action-packed Indonesian films that, in my opinion, are definitely worth watching.
Comic Book Rewind - Captain America 110, 111, 113 (CBR 28-30)
What better way to begin discussing Captain America than with his peculiar demise? At least that’s how they portrayed it in these issues. In reality, it was merely a convenient way to introduce Rick Jones as a significant character.
