It has been kind of a tough run for Marvel lately. Nothing really seems to be working out the way they want. Fantastic Four: First Steps kicks off the latest phase in the ever expanding MCU, but that doesn’t mean people will care about it. Does this live up to our Marvel standard? I guess you have to listen…because this is a podcast, and not a newspaper article.

Superman (2025)

For well over a decade, we have argued about the quality of the Superman films. The fights about Supes killing Zod in Man of Steel has literally been one of the defining qualities of a couple of us on this show. When another new Superman movie was announced, and it was to be directed by James Gunn, we were torn between optimist and cynicism. Gunn has certainly been a divisive director in the past, but would he continue that trend?

Anyway…here is our Superman (2025) episode.

Mission: Impossible- Final Reckoning

It took us 30 years to get here, but the Mission: Impossible franchise has finally come to an end…until they soft reboot it in a few years. Our opinions are as varied as the quality of the MI films in general, and while we may not agree about the last entry, we all agree that it’s better than the second one. When you find that kind of common ground, the rest of the stuff is just details.

Final Destination Bloodlines

Is there anything better than being really, truly surprised by a movie? Could I have imagined a world where Final Destination Bloodlines placed itself in the running for the “Best of 2025” list and also damn near made me cry along the way? No, but here we are. What a surprise.

Thunderbolts*

We all know that Marvel has had kind of a tough time lately. All of their movies feel like carbon copies of better Marvel movies that came before. Thunderbolts* had the advantage of being full of characters that people don’t really care about that much. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Sinners

This is a movie that I cannot get out of my head. The way it was shot, the music, the acting, the message…absolutely amazing. I care more about you going to see this movie than I do you listening to this podcast, but if you also enjoyed Sinners, and want to listen to us gush about how much we liked it, we will be here.

Gone in 60 Seconds and Swordfish

The perfect double feature does exist…it just may not be these two movies.

Or maybe it is these two movies.

Yeah…this is probably as good as it gets.

Love Hurts

No need to mince words, this is one of the worst movies we’ve seen in a long time.

It’s March, the Oscars have come and gone, and people are already discussing what could be the best movie of 2025. We, on the other hand, are just now getting around to our “Worst of 2024” list. We are certainly more negative in this particular episode, but if you had to watch all these terrible movies, you would be negative too.
