COMIC TALK TODAY

It's time for the Comic Talk Headlines with Generally Nerdy! 
So, issues arise and things happen. And sometimes that makes the episode a little late... sorry Legion.
The SAG-AFTRA strikes are PARTIALLY at fault for the delay, as I was waiting to hear any updates since Wednesday was a negotiation day. No word before I had to finally record the episode. There WAS, though, plenty of other news to talk about this week. So here we are!!
Tune in Wednesdays for the regular show. Plus, don't forget to subscribe for more fresh content.
