Caleb and Isaac return for another focused lens Speakeasy, this time splitting the conversation into two seperate topics. The first half focused mainly on WWE immediately following Wrestlemania 39, as well as touching on Caleb's thoughts on AEW from that same time period. Then on the second half, they go over some of the major movie trailers for the summer of 2023. A pretty dated trip to the bar, considering it's releasing in October, but hey better late than never, right?
