Episode Summary:

The discussion on this episode of the FadCast is all about the film fads and fan hatred when it comes to casting some of their favorite iconic characters. With the consistent hatred of Ben Affleck being cast as Batman in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,” we address many other iconic casting decisions where the fans said no at first but ate their words after they saw the respective film in question. Film Fad Writer Mike joins us to discuss these topics as well and to participate in a quiz from Pooya about casting choices that almost happened. We also give a quick rundown of our recent visit to the Wizard World convention and highlight the pros and cons of the event.
