Julian, Jeremy and Daniel are all back this week as they cover as much news as possible before the deluge of E3 comes crashing down next weekend. Starting with movies the guys discuss the shakeup behind the scenes of Justice League, the casting of Tom Holland as a young Nathan Drake and Jeremy gives a brief review of Wonder Woman (spoilers: he liked it). On the TV front; Netflix's new cancellation strategy and the finales to the DC CW shows are discussed. Finally, leading into E3 there isn't much gaming news but that doesn't mean there isn't some kind of controversy to create discourse. Farcry 5 was announced and along with it came more than it's fair share of criticism and Julian lays out his thoughts on the whole thing. All this and so much more, including What We've Been Watching and a fresh game of Nerd Association, on this week's Tower of Babble Podcast!

This week in the Tower we review Deadpool! (Yea we know it's a bit late). It's no spoiler to say we all really enjoyed the movie because apparently everyone else did too. Deadpool smashed some major box-office records over its run, even with its R rating keeping (most) kids away. We of course give Ryan Reynolds some much deserved praise for finally nailing it in the superhero genre by playing the perfect Merc-with-a-Mouth. But its not just a Deaadpool love-in, we also discuss some Star Wars news (as we do every week, and presumably every week going forward into infinitum) and breakdown the last Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. On the TV side we check out a whole slew of trailers as we get excited for the return of some of our favorite shows. Including, but not limited to: Daredevil, House of Cards and Game of Thrones. Finally we review a couple new indie games; The Witness, a genius puzzle game from the mastermind behind Braid, Jonathan Blow, and the emotional first-person adventure game Firewatch. Both titles have more in common with each other than you might think and Julian and Dan take a very deep look into why they are so engrossing. All that and so much more in this week's ToB Podcast!
