Our main segment is full of spoilers for Wonder Woman.
This week we had writer and film critic Valerie Complex on the show to talk about Wonder Woman. You can find Valerie's movie reviews and writing on Black Girl Nerds, Geek and Sundry, Hypable and many other publications.
We had some technical difficulties with audio this episode so it's edited together a little differently than normal. We did our best, hope you enjoy!
