122 - Howard The Duck

Inexplicably, the true origin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone down in history as one of the biggest bombs ever produced by Hollywood. Thankfully, Alex and Julio are ready to defend HOWARD THE DUCK and they’ve enlisted Sam Hurley from Movie Reviews in 20 Qs to provide support the way only a true MCU super-fan can! Listen as The Contrarians celebrate the exciting inter-species relationship between Lea Thompson and a duck! Witness the unforgettably over the top near-debut of the one and only Tim Robbins! And share the regret over George Lucas’ worst investment!
