It's our first look at the new DCU, spearheaded by James Gunn. Is the view good or are we a bit concerned about what we're looking at? You'll have to listen to find out as we break down the first two episodes of this very adult-oriented cartoon that may be a remake of Suicide Squad (the first one). 

Before that: where in the world should Devin go? When is the Superman trailer coming? And did Marvel just abandon a bunch of film equipment in a cave? All that and more, but if you don't care about it, jump right to 34:08. 

Next week: more Creature Commandos. And coming soon: Kraven the Hunter, only on Watch Men. Join the Patreon at the $5 level to hear us dissect the latest Sony Spiderverse picture!

Thanks for listening.

Why is my chair so squeaky? Is Derek burping? The only person who might know is The Watcher, who is introduced in this issue of Fantastic Four. A truly jam-packed bit of storytelling, this issue has dead cities on the Moon, a commie villain, a trio of super-apes, the winning of the space race and more. It's the kind of comic book fun that could only happen in the 60s. 

In the intro we chat a bit about robot vacuums and a mysterious picture of a pixelated man at the Fantastic Four wrap party. Plus: James Gunn answers a question about the Superman trailer. And I introduce Derek to the world of the Costco Guys. If you don't care about that, skip to 32:49. 

Next week: we start watching Creature Commandos, the first glimpse at the new DCU! Join us, won't you?

When does a criminal deserve leniancy? When they're very hot and have nice legs, according to Batman. Here's the first appearance of Catwoman, and it's a doozy. From Batman speaking directly to the kids at home to his immortal words "Be quiet or papa spank," this one has it all. 

Before that, some news, including a rumor about The Young Avengers becoming The Champions. Plus: the grisly origin of Wizard of Oz's Tin Man - and this is canonical. 

Next week: the first appearance of The Watcher in Fantastic Four #13. See you then!

This week we take a look at the first appearance of the next superstar of the silver screen, Kraven the Hunter. In his first appearance he fights apes, drinks a mysterious smoking brew and goes cruising in Central Park. Also: Peter Parker's love life is a mess, and we couldn't be happier about it. 

Before that we talk about a whole bunch of TV shows, including Rings of Power and Dune: Prophecy. There's news, and we welcome the new king scooper, Denzel Washington himself. Plus: trivia. If you don't care about any of this, skip right to 42:30.

As we wait for Creature Commandos to start we shall keep reading comics, so join us next week as we read the first appearance of Catwoman, Batman #1. Thanks for listening!

It's the finale of The Penguin and good news: everybody ends up happy! Whew, I was worried for a minute there. Well okay, maybe that doesn't happen but wow was this a good final episode. We loved it. 

Before we get to The Penguin we have some news, including James Gunn personally humiliating me, new MCU trailers out of Brazil, and we discuss the ins and outs of Bluesky, the social network folks are fleeing to now that Twitter has gone full evil. If you don't care about any of that skip to 42:24.

Next week: now that The Penguin is over we have some time until What If...? begins. We're going to fill at least some of that time with a return to reading comics, so join us next episode when we read Amazing Spider-Man #15, the first appearance of Kraven the Hunter.

Thanks for listening!

It's the penultimate episode of The Penguin, and things get explosive. Plus, we take a look back at Oz's childhood and hoo boy do things get dark. Real, real dark. This show is not afraid to make this guy a true villain. Speaking of which, Sofia seemingly graduates to real supervillain status this episode, and we couldn't be happier. 

We recorded this episode on Election Day eve, so we have a little bit to say about that, but there's also a scoop that I drop about something coming up in Matt Reeves' "Batman Epic Crime Saga." You don't want to miss that, but if you do want to miss that, skip right to 32:46. 

Thanks for listening and see you next week for the finale!

It was Agatha all along after all. The show comes to an incredibly satisfying end, and lays groundwork for more yet to come in the MCU. This week Derek and I finally find a version of Aubrey Plaza that gets our motors humming, we discuss why Agatha ends up in the form she does, and argue about whether lemons were available in Massachussetts in 1750.

Before that: we are recording on Halloween! There's candy talk, Ozempic talk and then we get into Marvel's entire 2025 slate, especially the recently revealed shows that are coming to Disney+. Are there real Wonder Man fans? We think so!

If you don't care about that, skip right to 48:37. 

Thanks for listening and we will see you in a few days for the next episode of The Penguin!

Oz is up against the wall when the Maronis and Gigantes put the kibosh on his Bliss business, but he's always at his best when he's up against the wall. And when he's at his best he's a lying, cheating, backstabbing villain - this show does not hide just how awful its protagonist is. 

Before that: Zendaya is a goddess! James Gunn debunks more dumb rumors! And maybe the new trivia book we're using is a bit too hard. If you don't care about all of that skip right to 37:50 for the meat and the potatoes of the show. 

Meanwhile: we have a podcast up for Venom: The Last Dance! You can get it by subscribing to the Patreon at the $5 or above level or, if you don't want to do that, you can buy just the episode for $4 ($6 if you're on iOS because Apple takes a cut). Simply go to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha/shop to purchase!

Thanks for listening and we will see you in a couple of days for the Agatha All Along finale. 

It's a whopper of a Marvelvision as we go long on the excellent new episode of Agatha All Along. Is this the best Marvel TV episode? Is pre-trauma real? And has Derek ever had his tarot cards read? Find out!

Before that: Blade disappears from the release schedule! Tom Holland talks Spider-Man 4! And does Venom: The Last Dance set up a Sony/MCU crossover in that fourth Spidey film? Plus more news and impossibly hard trivia.

If you don't care about that skip to 52:38 to get to the recap/review. 

See you in a couple of days for The Penguin! Thanks for listening. 

Can the show live up to last week's stellar episode? Hell yes, it turns out, as things get hotter and hotter for Oz (and some other folks as well). Homecoming is a packed episode where a ton of stuff happens and where the status quo changes in major, major ways, and we're here to break it all down. As part of that we ask questions like: does the Chief of Police think Sofia is the Hangman? Will Vic make it out of the show alive? And should The Penguin's villain lair be an abandoned cannery?

Before that we have some news, and also some chatting about the movies. We talk about American Movie, Terrifier, Smile and more, and we debate whether or not Lanterns being "grounded" is a good thing. We do not debate the Creature Commandoes trailer, though - neither one of us are fans. Don't care about that? Jump to 40:04.

See you next week, and also in a couple of days as we return for Agatha All Along!
