This week, our culture vultures mourn the loss of the man behind our favorite superheroes, Stan Lee, and discuss the sheer influence Marvel has had on pop culture. Another great celebrated in this episode is Queen's initial frontman Freddie Mercury, as Zan Azlee weighs in on a heated debate surrounding the latest biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody', and gives his take on whether it was an appropriate tribute. We end by delving into our often unnoticed tendency to alter our accents depending on who we're speaking to.
