Sweeney: This week we have another audience selection, which is exciting for us because it means at least one person is interested in hearing this episode! (Seriously, though, please feel free to request more things for our spreadsheet!)
We’re talking about Marvel’s Runaways, the first Marvel show produced for Hulu, adapted from comics written by Rainbow Rowell. The Runaways are a group of teenage superheroes who come together after finding out that their parents are super villains. After getting the YA bona fides of Rowell writing the book, Marvel turned to teen drama vet Josh Schwartz who also created The O.C. and Gossip Girl.
For this chat we are joined again by the wonderful Ceri Riley, writer and editor for SciShow and Crash Course Film, editorial assistant for Monstress, and all-around delightful human being.
Hear our mixed reviews on Runaways in today’s episode:

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
