Episode 14: It's time to talk about the Daredevil movie
Team #SaveDaredevil sits down to discuss both the great and not-so-great moments from the 2003 Daredevil movie, including the limitations of early 2000s CGI, the ethics of killing via subway train, sensory deprivation tanks, and why the radar sense visuals in the movie are still the best depiction we have in live action.
