It's The Crow!

And also, we're back from the dead. This is a week late because we were both killed by cold and flu but our dedication to making a podcast about movies one of us could always give or take pulled us back from the brink. True story.

Plus!

There is of course a comic book that this movie is based on because that's our one rule. That comic book is discussed because that's our other rule.

Also!

No capes, no 'Is That A Cape?'

It's The Mask!

Does Jim Carrey have range? Our hosts can't agree. The movie is pretty good if you ask one of them but you'll have to listen to find out for sure.

Plus!

The comic book this is based on is better than the movie and it's not even close.

Also!

No 'Is That A Cape?' again because there still aren't any capes in the movie we watched but don't let that put you off because there's a new video on the Is It A Bird YouTube channel instead.

It's Tank Girl!

It's the best comic book movie ever made... according to Madge anyway.

Plus!

We discuss whether it's good, ahead of its time even in 2019, edgy or finished.

Also!

No 'Is That A Cape?' this episode because there aren't any capes in this movie. Instead we discuss Margot Robbie optioning the property and why this will probably result in a terrible movie.

Hey there!

Whilst we take a break from our regular episode schedule so Kris can selflessly read a load of old comics, we bring you this gem from the 1990s: A Marvel Swimsuit Special!

It's basically filth and/or cartoon pornography but we braved our way through every single page of it, from Wolverine to Silver Sable, for your listening pleasure.

Thanks for downloading. We'll be back to regular episodes in two weeks time. In the meantime please send us an email - especially if you have a suggestion of something rotten from comic books past - to [email protected] and absolutely definitely go follow us on twitter @isitabirdpod and for gawd's sake say hello! 

It's Logan!

It could well be the best comic book movie ever made. We both agree on that as well which is a novelty for us both. We don't even mind the stupid bit at the end with X-24.

Plus!

Madge goes science on all your asses and breaks down why adamantium poisoning makes sense and why drowning Wolverine in a puddle does not.

Also!

Is That a Cape? - Now available on YouTube (search for Is That A Cape? or Is It A Bird)

This time we're covering X-23, Mister Sinister and the Ogg Monst- sorry, Caliban. It's a good time and you will enjoy it too.

Thanks very much for downloading!

The Wolverine!

It's actually a pretty decent movie which is a huge surprise considering the absolute state of the previous two we've watched! Madge absolutely smashes a plot breakdown and we even agree on the rating! 

Plus!

Kris covers Wolverine's time in Japan and his comic book son who is maybe gay and maybe sexy but also maybe not either of those. 

Also!

Is That a Cape? - It's back! This episode sees the discussion of some classic Jean Grey looks, Sunfire and Daken amongst others. If I ever work out how to do a YouTubes I'll get this up to fully exploit the visual aspects of the feature. 

Until then though, thanks for downloading!

X Men Origins: Wolverine!

It's a bad movie with an overly convoluted title but it's not that bad? Not the worst ever anyway so enjoy our recap of all things plot and character and as we start to try to make sense of the timeline.

Plus!

Learn all about Wolverine's comic book origins and why adamantium bullets and kinetic energy powers just don't make any sense.

Also!

A new feature called 'Is That a Cape?' where we cast our fashionista eyes over some of the worst costumes in comic books - this time it's Silverfox, Gambit, Brown and Yellow Wolverine and 'Fang' Wolverine.

Thanks for downloading!

X Men: The Last Stand!

Aaaaand we're back to bad movies. After the last two this one is genuinely a disappointment but we have fun together! 

Plus!

Xavier Professor Charles has how many brothers?

Also!

There's a number of plots here based on a number of comics containing a number of characters. We try our best to make sense of it all but, again, at least we've got each other.

Thanks for downloading!

X2: X-Men United!

The movie so good they gave it two names!

It is genuinely good too! As good as the last one? I guess you'll have to listen to find out. 

Plus!

Nightcrawler smells. Honestly. You won't believe it. Again, you'll have to listen to find out.

Also!

There are some famous comic book noises and Madge gets learns all about them. What does she think? I really cannot be more clear on my advice to listen and find out.

Thanks for downloading!

X-Men! (and women) 

This is a truly excellent superhero movie. Honestly, it's probably one of the best ones that there's been and our review of it absolutely lives up to that billing!

Plus!

Can you imagine Bob Hoskins as Wolverine? Someone at Fox could apparently and Jeri Ryan as Jean Grey. What could have been, eh?

Also!

Comics are sometimes dumb. We've all accepted that. But how dumb? Listen to part two, think about the fun X-Facts I give you and decide for yourself. Spoiler: they're pretty dumb.
