SuperShow 154: Was Forspoken Doomed For Failure From The Start?

That's not all though! This week we discussed the debut episode of HBO's The Last Of Us, lamented another round of lay-offs that hit some beloved studios, and paid our final respects to Marvel's Avengers, following the announcement of its closure. Enjoy!
