Y’know what? I was pretty charmed by the animated DC League of Super-Pets. It’s one of those family films that actually has things for the whole family.

Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) is mourning the loss of his…

This is it, the final two episodes of the series. And for those of you who weren’t there, all we had were these two episodes. We didn’t know there was a wrap up mini-series coming. We just had everything that happened in these two episodes. So brace yourselves. The third part of We’re So Screwed…
