This week we're joined by Shaun from Nerdy Thursday and Animal Talking, to talk about a weird animal...plant... thing... in the swamp. From 1982: J̶o̶h̶n̶ ̶C̶a̶r̶p̶e̶n̶t̶e̶r̶ Wes Craven's Swamp Thing! Shaun has brought this movie up a couple times whilst appearing on the podcast, so we brought him in to defend it. He chose not to.

For the final pick of our month-long celebration, the ghost of Roger Ebert did something unexpected and chose a not-so-super movie. We're talking about A History of Violence, the 2005 David Cronenberg film starring Viggo Mortensen and based on a Vertigo comic. #StairSex

Before playing Oskar Schindler, Qui-Gon Jinn, Ra's al Ghul, or that one guy with the particular set of skills, Liam Neeson was... Darkman.

Before directing the Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi directed... Darkman.

Before winning Oscars for Fargo and Three Billboards, Frances McDormand was in... Darkman.

What more do you need? A Bruce Campbell cameo?

Boy oh boy, did Roger Ebert go easy on us this week or what? We certainly weren't expecting this one. Mostly because we didn't know it existed. We're talking 1989's The Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren. Yes, this is a real movie. And our lives are now better because we have seen it.

What's the first word you think of when you hear the name Michael Rapaport?

Is it superhero? No?

Well, thanks to the ghost of Roger Ebert, that's what we're discussing this week. Special (2006) is a LOW budget movie wherein Rapaport believes he has superpowers.

Things get a little bit twisty this week in the Fortress of Poditude, because we're talking M. Night Shyamalan. Hot off the heels of The Sixth Sense, Shymalan and Bruce Willis team up again, this time with Samuel L. Jackson, for the ultimate slow-burn superhero origin: Unbreakable.

Team Cap or Team Iron Man? Is this a Captain America movie or Avengers 2.5? Does anyone but Dave care about Hawkeye? We're joined by Ryan from the Experience Grind Podcast to answer these questions and more as we discuss the Russo Brothers' opening act of MCU Phase 3, Captain America: CIVIL WAR.

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're indulging Dave's nostalgia with The Rocketeer. This 1991 Disney superhero flick, directed by "Dirty Fingers" Joe Johnston, sports an impressive supporting cast, and has amassed something of a cult following over the last almost-30 years.

We left this week's pick up to the spirit of Roger Ebert, and he did not disappoint. 1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension has everything. A neurosurgeon, physicist, test pilot, rock-star, comic-book-hero, samurai (that's one guy), and also John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Jeff Goldblum. Wow.
