Episode 21, ‘The spectrum of brooding’, Jessica Jones vs Daredevil
In this episode, Dave and Steven discuss the two latest Netflix/Marvel team-ups! It starts out sounding like a hatefest, and then ends sounding like a feminist-fest, but in the end it’s just another wonderful episode of The Style Guide.
Seriously though, Dave and Steven really do like Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
