Michael And Benjamin's Podcast

Welcome to the first 2024 episode of "Sure Look, Sure Listen," the podcast taking a pop at culture. This episode delves into a variety of topics, beginning with Steven Yeun's unexpected departure from Thunderbolts. Is it related to the writer's strike, or is there more to it?
