What's a Pennyworth? Pooping, Silly.
On an all-new Superhero Show Show, Cassie and the Boyz discuss the season 2 premiere of Pennyworth!
Pennyworth is back! The show that no one has seen wasn't canceled and is now returning for its second season. In a crazy twist of extreme fiction, facism is running rampant, and the United States seems to be okay with it! Crazy. It's up to Batman Alfred Pennyworth Martha Wayne to come to the rescue and save the world. Meanwhile, the Taste Buds are doing their part to save the world by telling everyone whether or not they think Pennyworth is (Penny) worth watching!
Then the Friends keep on trucking through Marvel 616 with Unboxed and The Marvel Method. They discuss their relationship with Marvel toys throughout their life, and how badly they want to go to the Funko headquarters. Finally, it's the Taste Bud's turn to take on the Dan Slott mini-scandal that rocked Twitter for like eight minutes two weeks ago. Will they come to the defense of the furry little guy, or will they take him to task for being lazy. Tune into find out.
Finally, it's the moment you've all been waiting for, as it's time for the X-Men to meet Juggernaut! The Taste Buds decided to go in the original intended order that X-Men: The Animated Series, so they're going to skip a couple and head right to who destroyed the X-Mansion: that's right, it's Professor X's brother Cain Marko. We also get to meet Colossus, and Cyclops is able to convince the mutants to do something they had never done before: use teamwork!
There's all of this, and so much more, on an all-new, all-different The Superhero Show Show!
