Ah, here he comes, that son of a gun, that cat, that Garfield, that gigantic thing — except… There’s something different about him. It’s weird. He just doesn’t seem very… Garfield-y? Anyway, in honor of the birthday of one of our great Americans, Garfield the cat, and also maybe one other guy, we take on 2024’s The Garfield Movie.
With The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming to theaters soon, listener Andrew asked the question “Galactus and The Silver Surfer — what’s their deal, man?” and Elliott gladly stepped up to answer.
