Welcome to Mike Lenuss. I'm Will Sloan, here as always with.

Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone.

If Luke and I seem a little solemn today, it's because we just got back from a funeral, actually.

We just saw the new dead on arrival summer blockbuster, The Flash, folks.

It was really more of an autopsy. I think it's fair to say.

Well, I thought you're referring to the funeral for our entire culture that we just attended.

You didn't like it.

You didn't like, we haven't, we've, as always at these Michael and us in the movies episodes,

we didn't talk about the movie.

I mean, we, I heard Luke grumbling and rustling in his seat and taking two rather extended

trips to the snack bar, during particular lulls in the narrative.

So I think I can guess what he thought of it.

Now, we have been to late Imperial Rome.

Everyone is dying because the lead pipes are poisoning the water.

The emperor is a decadent figure.

And the emperor is Warner Brothers CEO, David Zaslaw.

Yeah, yeah, something.

The border provinces are no longer collecting tax revenues efficiently.

The Ostrogoths are amassing in Germany.

And I fucking bring it on, honestly.

Now I see Luke rustling through a Mark Fisher book here.

It's that kind of movie, folks.
