With Dan away for the week John and Guy fumble their way through a brief look at whats on deck in superhero land.

200 Ep: 200: X-Men: Origins: Wolverine

It is episode 200 of everyone’s beloved super-hero TV shows, movies, and dumb jokes podcast — BIFF! This week we tackle X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In which things happen to our hero rougjly in sequence until the end where he forgets them all. As a special episode two hundred treat we quickly revisit the various shows we’ve watched over the years and give a few briefs thoughts about each. Biff has a been great fun for all of us and we’d like to thank you all for reading along and being true Biffs.

199 X-Men ‘97 (ep 1-3)

To me my forty-ish year old fans of laser beams, sexed up cartoons, and remarkably timeless social commentary cartoons! In this episode we cover the first three installments of the new X-Men cartoon that was a big hit in the 90s.

198 X-Men 3: The Last Stand

If you love the X-Men do we ever have a movie for you. So long as you only love Wolverine. This movie starts off with a bang in the holodeck and then quickly gets to work killing a bunch of our heroes either literally or just by erasing their personalities. Sometimes even both! Read along with us as we cover the last (?) of the X-Men movies.

197 X-Men 2: X-Men United

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. Taking refuge from the Fisk organization after having shot Kingpin in the face we find Maya returning to her roots, those she left behind after a tragic childhood accident, and coming to terms with her heritage and who she is.

194 What If? Season 2 Episodes 5-9

We’re back to close out our coverage of the second season of What If. There’s some real highpoints in this back half of the season and a whole lot of fun to be had. So strap in to your Hydra-Stomper and prepare yourself to visit strange new worlds.

193 What If? Season 2 Episodes 1-4

Imagine, if you can, a reality where Biff Conklin won! You can’t because that’s an Elseworld. 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

Do you like fun? If you’re a fan of fun you’ll find some fanstatic photonic frequency flipping fun in this film. Find yourself entangled in our discussion of The Marvels: their familial, friendly, and firmly political relationships. (Featuring a flirty bonus round!)

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

190 Loki S2E6 - Glorious Purpose

Loki season two wraps up and it is a real humdinger of an episode. It is our glorious purpose to relieve you of your burden of indecision and finally bring you our thoughts on what we’re quite sure you already knew in your heart-our rating system isn’t always up to snuff.

189 Loki S2E5 “Science/Fiction”

187 Loki S2E3 1893

If you missed the Chicago World Fair of 1893 then this is the episode for you! In a crackerjack episode we come to some sort of loggerheads and we knock our heads together trying to work out what is going on.

After a brief break, where a lot of stuff has happened, we’re back. This week we’re hot on the tail of some time bandits and those cats always land in a McDonalds.

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.

180 Secret Invasion S1E4 - Beloved

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). After Dan rights the ship we’re off to sea with a submarine vs. plane conspiracy so tangled you’d better have packed a diver’s knife. Also, dogs — good boys or not? Our characters take surprising positions!

178 Secret Invasion S1E2 - Promises

Someone’s got a secret! Pretty much everyone has a secret, to be honest. This week we’re back to cover the second episode of Marvel’s Secret Invasion. Join us as we play the thrillling game of Script or Skrull!?

It’s Trailer Time in the Biff-cave! This week we cover the recently released trailers for The Flash, Blue Beetle, Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse, The Marvels, Secret Invasion.

172 Daredevil: Born Again (1986)

In anticipation of the upcoming Marvel Daredevil show we asked Time Travelling Dad to snag us a copy of the original comic book run. We discuss the seminal arc and characters with an eye to how they are very much of their time and how they differ from their Netflix versions.

171 Giant-Sized Superhero Sweep #10

I guess all we do these days is gossip so buckle up as we go over some recent news. Topics include some casting news for the MCU and DCU. We also discuss Jonathan Majors’ alleged abusive behaviour. If that’s a subject that will upset you please skip past it. Then we make stuff up about Captain America 4, The Batman 2, and a bunch of other stuff.

170 Giant-Sized Superhero Sweep #9

We kick off this giant size sweep episode with some quick thoughts on Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Dan then fills us in on the homework he’s been doing watching the final season of The Flash.

163 The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes

We’re back this week to chat about Netflix’s episodic television adaptation of one of the greatest comic books ever written: Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. There is so much meat on Morpheus’ slender pale bones that we mostly just covered Preludes & Nocturnes. You’ll need to dream our thoughts on The Doll’s House.

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.

She-Hulk gets fired from her gig in the DA’s office but through the magic of montage finds herself quickly re-hired at the Law Offices of GLK/H.

The cancellation of Batman: Caped Crusader and rumours that Matt Shakman will be directing the Fantastic Four movie.

In our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the past season of The Flash and where it stacks up with the rest of the series. Then, in our inaugural Letters Page segment, we “answer” your questions.

To get your question discussed on the show, email us at biff@theincomparable.com or find us on Twitter.
