Episode description

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #2

We mostly credit (or blame) the success of the superhero genre at the cinema on that damn charm of one Hugh Jackman... definitely not the director behind APT PUPIL. Along the way we debate the silliness of forcing actors into all black leather or daring to use a little color. Which is to say that like the rest of the cast we just stand around and watch a handsome Australian man at work. And that doesn't require any sort of director at all. Thankfully this movie doesn't have one!
