Comic Book Logic

Comic Book Logic returns this week with our take on the beloved 2010 comic book/video game movie mashup SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. Does Scott’s quest to win the heart of literal dream girl Ramona Flowers by defeating her “evil exes” win our hearts as well, or are we, as the saying goes, getting too old for this stuff? Plus, we take a look at the Amazon pilot for the newest live action incarnation of THE TICK, and share our top 3 visually inventive movies.

It’s a spoiler-iffic episode of CBL as we take on the brand new entry in the DC Cinematic Universe, SUICIDE SQUAD. Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, and a whole bunch of other weirdos you’ve never heard of are on a mission to save the world… or maybe just rescue their boss… or maybe both? Who knows! How do the so-called “worst heroes ever” fare? Does SUICIDE SQUAD save a lackluster summer and point the DC films in the right direction? Can Jared Leto expect any Oscar buzz for his turn as the Joker? Find out, plus some classic recasting and catch-up from Comic-Con!

It’s a CBL Bonus Episode! We had a chance to check out the new animated feature BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE and sat down to discuss it. Mark Hamill’s reprisal of his classic Joker notwithstanding, how does the film — and by extension, the classic 1988 graphic novel — hold up to scrutiny? What are they planning to do at the playing card factory, anyway?

The Summer of Spidey comes to a close with the often maligned 2007 film SPIDER-MAN 3! Sam Raimi may have disowned it, but are emo Peter Parker’s finger-guns and hair flips really so bad? Has this movie maybe aged a bit better than we expected, or are we right to leave it on the trash heap to be forgotten and rebooted a hundred times?

We also share our Top 3 Chicago Movies, and roundup some of the news out of San Diego Comic Con!

The Summer of Spidey continues this week with the 2004 sequel SPIDER-MAN 2! Sam Raimi and the whole gang is back and they look as tired as ever. This time Spider-Man faces off against the villainous Doctor Octopus, whose complete lack of foresight and attention to safety protocols causes CGI mayhem all over Chica — I mean, New York City. Is SPIDER-MAN 2’s reputation as one of the all-time great comic book movies deserved, or is this a case of nostalgia run amok? We discuss the film and recast it with all the grit and cocaine of old New York, plus a comic book movie news roundup!

It’s the Summer of Spidey on Comic Book Logic! This week we kick things off with Sam Raimi’s 2002 blockbuster SPIDER-MAN, the film that spawned 2 sequels and who knows how many future reboots. It was a web slinging good time 14 years ago, but how does it hold up in a post-MCU landscape? And what’s the deal with all those faces Tobey Maguire makes? We discuss the film and recast it with some basic cable cheese, plus talk our Top 3 Movies about New York!

This week, We didn't feel like giving Michael Bay anymore money so we

decided to review another cinema garbage fire, 2005's FANTASTIC FOUR.

Featuring that girl who was really popular in the 2000's, Captain

America, and the Commish! This is where we once again ponder why FOX

tries to desperately hold onto this license. We discuss all the

spoilers, plus recast the film in as an 80's comedy and brush up on some

comic book movie news!

This week, the contractually obligated X-Men alternate timeline movies continues with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, featuring GAME OF THRONES alum Sophie Turner as Jean Grey and STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS hero Oscar Isaac as McDonald’s Grimace! Does this new world-ending installment live up to its surprisingly enjoyable predecessors, or has Sony dropped the ball again? And which of Magneto’s family members get killed this time? We discuss all the spoilers, plus recast the film in an earlier era and share our Top 3 Movies of 1983!

The next installment of the MCU is upon us with CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR! Which side will your hosts take: Team Cap? Team Iron Man? Team William Hurt? Be warned that this episode, as always, is chock-full of SPOILERS so if you are one of the two or three people who haven’t seen this movie yet, do not listen yet!

Find out if the Russo Bros handle our heroes going head to head with aplomb, or if this movie just a more colorful version of BATMAN V SUPERMAN. Plus we recast the ensemble with a quirky modern auteur at the helm, and give our Top 3 Civil War Movies!

Sit back, relax, and slip on your most comfortable Italian leather shoes, because this week we’re dissecting the 1990 direct-to-video CAPTAIN AMERICA! There are no winter soldiers or civil wars here, but there are plenty of absurd Italian accents, dirt bikes, and beautiful assassins out to kidnap the president. Is this Roman holiday schlocky, B-movie gold, or should someone put this bargain bin bomb on ice? Plus, we recast this one for both TV and film, and compare our Top 3 Movies of 1990!
