We're talkin' 2003's Daredevil starring Ben Affleck, and here to help Paul, June, and Jason break it all down is writer and Daredevil expert Ed Brubaker. They discuss the playground fight/dance scene, the many times Matt Murdock mentions he's blind, the streets that look like a sitcom set, Coolio's subplot in the director's cut, and so much more.
