In this week's podcast, Glenn and Daniel take a magical journey onto the Western Front of World War I with
Peter Jackson's stunning documentary,
They Shall Not Grow Old - easily his most striking and personal project in years. And then we go deep in a world of low expectations and find ourselves pleasantly surprised by
James Wan's
Aquaman (42:35).
