So does the film deliver? Is DC's marquee hero redeemed on the big screen? Ian Kerner and I connected to discuss t...

Marvel's latest Disney+ series 'Ironheart' zoomed onto TV screens without much fanfare. But did that reflect a low level of confidence in the 6-episode series or an overcrowded media landscape?

Ian Kerner joins me to discuss all six episodes (so SPOILERS!), what they introduce to the MCU, where we'll see Riri Williams and her supporting cast again, and ...
