Continuining Superhero July, we are back once again for the latest MCU film, Fantastic Four: First Steps. 'Marvel's First Family' finally joins the MCU after 3 outings in the Fox-Marvel Universe, and comes at a very interesting time in the franchise as they are looking to set up Avengers: Doomsday while also remedy their own brand problems from the past five years since Endgame.

While we certainly don't answer all these burning questions, we do indeed have an engaging discussion on our thoughts about this movie. where this movie sits among the superhero films this year and where we go from here through the rest of phase 6!

We hope you join us!

Two uploads in one week??

In a bit of a shift from our typical Marvel fare, we have to commemorate the launch of the brand new DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) by bringing you a mini-episode on Superman!

This is certainly one of the most anticipated movies of 2025 and arguably one of the most fascinating movies of the modern superhero genre with a surprising amount to say and a lot of unique ideas.

We hope you will join us for this discussion!

After a veeery long hiatus, we are back to discuss the latest MCU outing, Thunderbolts* (don't forget the asterisk)!

We've finally made it to the end of Phase 2, with the Age of Ultron! Certainly a more divisive film than the first Avengers, but not without its many merits and continuation of Marvel's hot streak through Phase 2, leading into Phase 3. Too much to discuss so we've dropped another supersized episode for you all to enjoy!

Did you miss us? After a bit of a summer break, we are back with a brand new episode to celebrate a (belated) 10-year anniversary of Guardians of the Galaxy! Directed by James Gunn, this movie was truly one of the big swings Marvel took that really cemented its dominance in the cinematic landscape at the time by introducing us to heroes that not even comic book fans were very familiar with.

But we all certainly know them now! Certainly like the movie, this is not an episode to miss!

Surprise! As a bonus for our long break, we also wanted to share our brief thoughts on one of the biggest movies of the year, Deadpool & Wolverine!
