About this episode

The Binge Buddies dive into the 2018 film Aquaman, exploring its world-building, characters, and cinematic elements.

Trade your chainsaws for tridents, because the Binge Buddies are diving into the deep end of the DCEU! > Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." After surviving the wreckage of our last outing, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are thrilled to announce that things are finally getting good again. We are plunging headfirst into the neon-soaked, wildly unapologetic spectacle of James Wan's 2018 Aquaman. The guys are breaking down how Jason Momoa took the guy who talks to fish and turned him into a legitimate cinematic rockstar. From the absolute madness of Atlantis' world-building and the terrifying horror elements of the Trench, to Black Manta's massive helmet and the legendary drum-playing octopus, we're soaking up every ridiculous, glorious minute of this underwater epic. Grab your scuba gear and hit play—we're riding the wave!
