Binge Buddies: Hall of Just Us - Aquaman 2

Fire up the drum-playing cephalopods, because the Binge Buddies are closing out the DCEU with a massive, aquatic question mark. >

Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan have reached the official end of the line: 2023's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The guys are trying to figure out exactly what the hell this movie actually is. Is it a cohesive sequel? A disjointed, studio-mandated mess? A surprisingly fun buddy-cop ride between Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry and Patrick Wilson's Orm? Or is it all just a spectacularly weird, two-hour excuse to give Topo the Octopus a starring role? Join the crew as they break down James Wan's final plunge into Atlantis. From the horror-tinged water zombies and Black Manta's ancient revenge plot, to the bizarre reality that this is how a decade-long cinematic universe dies—not with an epic superhero crossover, but with a genetically engineered, multi-instrumentalist sidekick. Grab a pint of Guinness and hit play—we're officially turning out the lighthouse lights on the DCEU!
