This week is one of our most fun yet.

Jackson. And finally this week, we are introducing a brand new segment, Who Would Win?, where we pit two superheroes against one another, and debate who would actually win in a fight. Our inaugural matchup is a fun one between Superman and Deadpool, and it might not end up the way you'd expect. Shout out to @VAFilmBuff757 for the awesome suggestion!
