This week Dan is back and we try to catch up on all the news. We’ve got a Captain America, we’ve got a Thunderbolts*, and we’ve got so much more. In this Giant Sized episode we try cover what’s what in superhero news while remaining upbeat and being oblivious to a giant red rage monster behind a podium.

216 Comfort Viewing

Join John and Guy on this Very Special episode where we cover some of our favorite episodes of television to unwind with. Not the best episodes. Not the most consequential, nor the funniest. Just the episodes that are fun and relaxing and help us find a little peace for 42 minutes at a time.

202 X-Men ‘97 (Ep 4-7)

Huzzah! Dan is back and we’re back on the X-Men beat. This week we cover an eclectic set of mid-season episodes. A fun Tron-Romp, some trippy malevolent force thing, and a simply stunning and terrific episode on Genosha.

198 X-Men: The Last Stand

If you love the X-Men do we ever have a movie for you. So long as you only love Wolverine.

It’s a Giant Size X-Men epsiode this time! Hold on to your thinly veiled metaphores as we revisit the X-Mansion and meet our X-Pals and a few new friends too.

196 X-Men (2000)

Before the superhero ball got rolling the mutants were there to give it a push. This week we visit the X-Men in the original movie from the year 2000. It’s not perfect. There are plenty of flaws. But, wow, what a movie. It may not be so much of a template as Iron Man (or The Incredible Hulk) but it is inarguably in the vanguard of what would become the dominant blockbuster movie events since it was released.

195 Echo

We’re off to Oklahoma to catch up with a stand out character from the Hawkeye show — Maya Lopez A.K.A. Echo.

If you’d like to tune in for a bit of holiday cheer as we discuss the first four episodes of What If? season 2 then we’ve got you covered. Like the dark fog of a besieged Xandar lit up by justice. The love of an adoptive family. The persistence of the pernicious to become purple, powerful, and petty is perfect. And, as always, Jeff Goldblum finds a way.

192 Blue Beetle

Get in the Tacoma, Biffs, ‘cause we’re going to Miami—er, Palmera! This week we’re covering the last DCEU movie (or maybe the first DCU movie?) and are left a little befuddled and bemused.

191 The Marvels

We’re off to outer space with a song and a dance as we cover The Marvels.

185 Loki S2E1 Ouroboros

Hear me out—what if, and this is a crazy idea, some piece of media explored the idea of time travel and multiple universes? A temporal multiverse, if you will. What if that piece of media was a delightfully rendered, irreverant yet earnest, romp through time set somewhere outside of space? Join us as rejoin Loki following the harrowing events of last season finale.

179 Secret invasion S1E3 - Betrayed

It’s space-eggs for breakfast as we kick this week off with a brief visit to the C.I.A. (the food one, not the spy one).

162 Superhero Sweep X Again

In this episode we have nothing much to discuss, but one of our members has a change of heart and, ultimately, we all come around to just giving Biffs to everything. We discuss the Marvel news, the DC news, and all that news. This is a horrible pitch, but it is a good one.

We discuss familiar faces with a twist, the zingers that we stood up and applauded, and threading the needle of a final season and a massive crossover. In our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the season premiere of The Flash and the much improved second episode of Batwoman, then take a jaunt over to our Letters Page for some feedback about the Arrow premiere and where our thinking is on Joker.

Plus, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we talk about Martin Scorsese not caring for superhero movies, and why it shouldn’t matter, and what an oddball Nicolas Cage is.
