This documentary is a MUST WATCH! If you're at all curious about that unreleased film, then you can check this out on Amazon Prime (for free with ads). Doomed! really highlighted the way the people who were actually making this film thought vs what the powers-that-be knew.
No real tracklist this week. We just had a discussion about the documentary itself and the information we learned. We highly recommend watching if you're a Marvel fan.

We've got another themed month coming your way! For all of May, we are talking all things Fantastic Four.
