WOW, LOOK! NOTHING!

In the very, VERY early days of the MCU, Kevin was trying to get the various studios that had the rights to Marvel's biggest characters to cooperate with him and Marvel Studios in building his interconnected universe. One that seemed to join him at the start was Universal, as the two worked together to create a new Hulk movie. While nothing seemed to really go wrong, one could say it's clear from the final product why they haven't come together again. So, come join Brian and Alec as they continue Phase 1 of the MCUathon with the often-forgotten follow-up to Iron Man -- THE INCREDIBLE HULK!

"MY TURN."

The next Avengers film is about a year out. We have over thirty films to sift through. Let's get started. Back in the day, it was inconceivable to make a franchise connecting a bunch of different solo characters on the big screen the way they were in comics. Back in the day, Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. were seen as box office bombs waiting to happen. Little did we all know this was the movie that launched the most profitable film franchise of all time. Come join Brian and Alec to look back at how it all started as they being their MCUathon with the genesis -- IRON MAN!

"TAKE ME HOME."

One of 2025's most anticipated and successful movies of the year has finally come out on digital, and it's time for the gang to take a looksie. The Big Blue Boy Scout's first solo movie in twelve years has been a massive hit, but has proven somewhat divisive amongst fans. So, with a menagerie of different viewpoints looking at it, what do we think this time around? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they revisit the film that has the general public believing in DC again -- James Gunn's SUPERMAN!

HERO OR SIDEKICK?

As we all know, the 2000's were something of a renaissance when it came to superhero adaptations, all culminating with the golden age that started with The Avengers in 2012. What many people didn't often discuss were the myriad of satires and pastiches that appeared around then that had no clue how ahead of their time they would be. From Kirkman's Invincible to Mazin's Superhero Movie, lots of different things were already taking tropes we knew of and turning them on their heads. In 2005, Disney sought to do the same on a family-friendly level. While it may not have been a smash hit, it certainly left an impact on a lot of us. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they revisit a childhood classic (that may be more messed up than they remember) -- SKY HIGH!

IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK.

2020 was a strange time. We all stayed in our homes. Brian and Alec were doing a different show. And movies were struggling to find new ways to get made. One blooming subgenre, Screenlife, was poised by producer Timur Bekmambetov over the years as the evolution of found footage. With lockdown seemingly indefinite, he was tasked by Universal to prove that this subgenre had enough mileage in it to navigate this unforeseeable future. The resulting film was so historically awful that it came out five years later on Amazon prime after just six days of marketing. Oh boy. Come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at what many consider to be one of the worst films in recent memory, Amazon's WAR OF THE WORLDS!

"THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!"

Time and again in recent years, Sony Animation has proven to be the bright spot at Sony Pictures. Ever since Into the Spider-Verse, they've taken bold risks and received great reward in turn, and this film has been no exception. Ever since its release nearly two months ago, the story of HUNTR/X has had a chokehold on people, quickly becoming one of Netflix's most-watched films of all time. So, what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) lead Brian and Alec through their first viewing of this year's most popular animated film -- KPOP DEMON HUNTERS!

"THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME STRONG."

After James Gunn took control of DC and after The Flash basically killed it it for everyone, a few stragglers trailed behind that were in between cinematic universes. One of these was a silver screen adaptation of Blue Beetle, and many didn't know what to think of it when going in. While the film has had its fiar share of detractors, it has proven to be one of the very few bright spots of the previous era, with pushes being made to include it in the DCU going forward. So, how does it hold up? Come join Brian, Alec, and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they take a look at the elusive actually good DC film, Angel Manuel Soto's BLUE BEETLE!

DANCE WITH THE DEVIL.

Ryan Coogler has been one of the hottest names in the directing world for the past decade, and for the first time since his freshman outing, he has released a wholly original film. Sinners has been hailed as an instant-classic since its release in April, and it's time for us to dive in. So, come join Alec and Brian as they take a look at what many consider to be the best film of 2025 thus far, Ryan Coogler's SINNERS!

"SAY THAT AGAIN..."

After Rise of the Silver Surfer failed to captivate audiences, future plans with the 00's iteration of Marvel's First Family fizzled out. Thus, Josh Trank was brought on board to reboot the franchise with a more modern and serious edge. What resulted was what many consider to be one of the worst comic book films of all time. Oh, boy. Before you see First Steps this weekend, come join Brian, Alec, Darby (@gwenstacying), and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at the travesty that is Josh Trank's FANT4STIC!

"I'M GONNA NEED THERAPY."

Kevin Feige's full attempt at making the first good movie about Marvel's First Family releases in one week, so it's time to look back at prior attempts. The 00's were not kind to most comic book characters when it came to movies, and the F4 were no exception. While many remain nostalgic for these films, even going as far as saying nothing can top their cast, they boast a whole lot of issues that were the style at the time, and it's time to dig into each and every one. So, come join Brian, Alec, and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at the goofy, derivative, and bizarrely misogynistic (to the point of Jessica Alba nearly quitting acting) FANTASTIC FOUR and FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER!
