About this listen

 Welcome to the Room Upstairs, the monthly podcast where four hosts take two movies--an original and its remake--and battle them out between a series of categories to find the good and bad in both, eventually declaring a winner between the two! Everyone is welcome to join us Upstairs as we discuss the different qualities of movies in an attempt to carve out the diamonds in whatever roughs we find.The Room Upstairs Art

    Today's battle takes a slightly different approach, as hosts Bird, TallBeing, Mephisjoe and Hayden take the 2007 Fantastic sequel and put it pit against the latest installment into the MCU!
