#ONELASTTIME… NOT!

In our longest session of the Film Club yet, our heroes have an emotionally charged and honest conversation about the “final” Hugh Jackman Wolverine film: 2017’s LOGAN. See why this film means so much to Aeric, Chris, and especially AJ – and why it is STILL one of the best comic book films ever made.
