We watch 1987's The Lost Boys! Why? Because next week we're talking about the Vertigo Comics sequel comic! See? It all ties together. Anyway, listen in amazement as I unenthusiastically talk about things unrelated to the movie and Sophia enjoys the blonde mullets on display.

In this meandering episode, we read and discuss Jonah Hex: Two Gun Mojo, the first of Vertigo's three Jonah Hex comics. It's significantly better than the movie. Low bar to clear, I know. I also give my first impressions of the Sandman audio drama by Audible. Spoiler: it's excellent.

Unlike Constantine, There is no cult following for the film Jonah Hex. And for good reason. This is a poorly executed and over-edited turd of a movie. Listen to us make fun of and talk over it for a little longer than its scant runtime.

We look at Unmanned, the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man. It's a great book but some Amazon reviewers disagree. Also, that Justice League re-cut costs an insane amount of money.

We watch 2005's Constantine, directed by Francis Lawrence, starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz. Many people defend this film and it's become something of a cult classic. However, as an adaptation of the Vertigo comic Hellblazer, it's pretty bad. Also, as a movie it's pretty bad too.
