"I am Catwoman. Hear me roar"

Holy Feline Festooned Festive Felicitations Batman, it's a Christmas episode!

Yes, with the big day looming, we thought we'd cover a film set around that most wonderful time of the year.

And what better way to end a year that's somehow simultaneously been 3 months and also a decade by going completely non-linear and skipping past the original film straight to Batman Returns.

Is it the Catwoman's pajamas? Or does it deserve to be tossed in the sewer? Tune in to find out!

A big thanks to everyone who has listened to the show this year. Despite the circumstances, we hope this holiday season is a happy and a safe one for you.

"In my line of work, you gotta know when to walk away. But some cases just won't let you go."

We're sticking with the MCU this week (kind of) as we tackle the Netflix original series Jessica Jones.

It's a series that deliberately shies away from the typical superhero tropes, but will we find it... compelling?

"I am Groot"

Hop in your spaceships and fire up your cassette players folks, because this week we're talking Guardians of the Galaxay, or GotG Vol. 1 if you're nasty.

Despite the MCU's success, a space-heist film with a talking raccoon and his tree best friend was a big sell at time of release so this film had a lot to prove.

Star-Lord and chums may be household names now, but returning to the first film, does it still hold up? Tune in to find out!

Also apologies for the amount of background buzz on this one. For some reason, my audacity recording got completely borked so this was mostly edited together from the Zoom recording

"There are things that go bump in the night... and we are the ones who bump back"

After striking out on our last two films, we're taking a break from the dross this week to go back to a favourite of both your hosts.

And so, with Halloween still just about winking at us from the rearview mirror, it's time to behold Hellboy... the good one!

"There is no escape. No hope. Only hunger and pain"

With Halloween beginning to reach it's gnarled hand around the corner, we decided to feast our insatiable need for comic book adaptations with 2007's 30 Days of Night.

It certainly turned out to be a harrowing experience... but perhaps not for the reasons we were anticipating.

"Battle is the great redeemer, the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged."

We're stretching our remit a little this week to light novels as we look at the Tom Cruise robo-punching Groundhog Day reboot that we didn't know we wanted... and also maybe don't? Tune in to find out what we thought!

And for the authentic experience, please do feel free to continually loop this episode several hundred times

"Wonder if it’s too late to be unadopted?"

It's a Hargreevespalooza this week as we rank not one, but two seasons of The Umbrella Academy. Is such a thing even possible without time travel and copious musical numbers? Tune in to find out!

And, despite a jam packed show, we may even manage to fit in a spot of New Mutants chat.

"He may not be Superman, but he'll be a living symbol of what this country stands for"

So, Captain America. Much like Iron Man before him, the MCU and Chris Evans('s cheekbones) have transformed him into an international icon. But that wasn't always the case...

This week, we travel back to when Marvel's Star-Spangled Man With a Plan had fallen on far harder times. Yes, we're talking about 21st Century Film's utterly abysmal, direct-to-video, Captain America movie.

Get ready for a shlockfest, where the only thing stiffer than Cap's costume is his acting, that will make you entirely re-evaluate what a "bad" movie is.

"That woman has forgotten more ways to kill than entire armies will ever learn"

We're turning our eyes to something a bit more current again this week as we review the Netflix original movie 'The Old Guard'.

Will this adaptation of Greg Rucka's and Leandro Fernandez's comic be a timeless classic or something best left in the mists of history? Tune in to find out!

Also apologies for the delay on getting this one out and the slight audio issues. And huge thanks to everyone who's stuck with us so far, you guys are the best.
