Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #409: Kang vs Lang

You always should watch out for the little guy, and Ant-Man is certainly one of the littlest of all. This week we are joined by Glenn from Traveling The Vortex to discuss Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. We not only discuss the film (SPOILER ALERT) but also get into the weeds of fandom fatigue, the power of the box office, and more. We don't have feedback this week, but we do have some housekeeping.
