#166 – Megamind | Directed by Tom McGrath (with Seth Vargas of Movie Friends)

Tune in as Seth Vargas (Movie Friends) comes back around to 2 Cents Critic for a discussion on Megamind, the 2010 DreamWorks Animation movie that puts its own deconstructive spin on superheroes and supervillains. The surprisingly clever jabs that it takes at incel culture, the connections you can draw between this flick and Despicable Me, and the sequelitis that Megamind has suffered from recently all make for some of the talking points that this episode covers.

Directed by Tom McGrath, Megamind stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, David Cross, Brad Pitt, J.K. Simmons, Ben Stiller, and Justin Theroux.
