The SuperHero Homies! Podcast is back with a packed episode covering the biggest moments in nerd and pop culture, including a full spoiler-filled review of the Stranger Things Season 5 series finale.

We kick things off with a cold open hyping up the upcoming Homie Awards, our annual satirical award show where YOU vote on the best and worst superhero movies and TV shows of the year. We talk about why this year’s Homie Awards might be our most chaotic yet and why listener votes truly matter.

From there, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailers, sharing our reactions, theories, and concerns about the future of the MCU, Doctor Doom, and the next era of Marvel storytelling.

For our main discussion, we dive deep into the Stranger Things Season 5 finale, offering an honest, spoiler-heavy review of the episode, the season, and the series as a whole. We talk about what worked, including the emotional payoff for key characters, the visual effects for the Mind Flayer, and Vecna’s performance, as well as what didn’t fully land, like Eleven’s fakeout ending, military plot holes, and lingering questions about the final battle.

While the finale isn’t perfect, we discuss why Stranger Things still sticks the landing emotionally and remains one of the most successful and impactful genre shows of its era.

If you love TV and movie reviews, superhero discussions, comic book talk, MCU and DC debates, and pop culture breakdowns, this episode is for you.

It’s time to ask the questions superhero movies usually hope you won’t. ????

In this episode of SuperHero Homies!, we dive headfirst into tough superhero questions, questionable logic, plot holes, and fan theories from the worlds of Marvel, DC, comic books, and superhero movies.

We kick things off with an extended cold open reacting to the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer leaks and official reveals. We break down what’s shown, what might be hidden, and what we think the plot of Avengers Doomsday could look like as the MCU heads toward its next massive crossover event.

From there, we tackle the big debate. Is bringing back “retired” heroes a sign the MCU is running out of ideas? We discuss legacy characters, nostalgia, audience expectations, and whether Marvel can truly rely on its newer heroes going forward.

The main segment is all about answering tough superhero questions, blending humor with genuine curiosity. Some of these questions are purely tongue-in-cheek, while others open the door to deeper storytelling conversations:

???? Superhero Questions We Debate

How was there a fake Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s treasure room?

How do Star-Lord’s rocket boots allow him to fly so smoothly without looking ridiculous?

In Batman v Superman, what was Lex Luthor’s plan after creating Doomsday?

In The Flash (movie), who actually killed Barry Allen’s mother with no Reverse Flash in sight?

If you love superhero plot hole discussions, MCU theories, DC Comics debates, and comic book podcast conversations that don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode is built for you.

Welcome back to the SuperHero Homies Podcast — and today we present something truly special: The Homie Commandments! In this episode we break down the 10 foundational rules we use to judge, analyze, and appreciate storytelling across comic books, superhero movies, TV shows, novels, and all forms of pop culture media.

These commandments aren’t about being “gatekeepers” or claiming authority — they simply reveal the metric we use to measure good storytelling, from Marvel and DC stories to indie comics and blockbuster superhero films.

But before we get into our storytelling philosophy, we open the episode with a fun discussion about the Video Game Awards and their 2024 nominations. We talk about the unprecedented number of nominations for Expedition 33, what games might win Game of the Year, and how this year compares to past VGAs.

Then we dive into The Homie Commandments, including:

???? Hold true to the integrity of the characters

???? Well-written villains matter just as much as well-written heroes

???? Avoid tired, formulaic tropes whenever possible

???? You don’t need anyone’s permission to love what you love

…plus six more deep, thoughtful rules that shape how we critique and celebrate the stories we love.

We break down each commandment with examples from DC Comics, Marvel Comics, the MCU, the DCU, video games, and classic films. Whether you’re a writer, a fan, or just someone who loves breaking down good stories, this episode is for YOU.

If you’re into superhero commentary, comic book reviews, pop culture analysis, nerd culture discussions, storytelling breakdowns, or media criticism, this is one of our most insightful and entertaining episodes yet.

The SuperHero Homies are back — and this week, we’re doing what Hollywood couldn’t: fixing bad superhero movies! From Superman Returns to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, we take on some of the most disappointing comic book films ever made and reimagine them with just a few smart changes.

But first, we kick things off with a 30-minute cold open packed with gaming and pop culture talk! We discuss which games might win Video Game of the Year (with Expedition 33 as a top contender), why live service games usually fail, and whether politics belong in art and entertainment. We dive deep into how storytelling, messaging, and creative freedom shape the worlds we love — from comics to cinema.

Then it’s time to fix some bad superhero movies — with three simple rules:

1️⃣ The movie must stay in its cinematic universe timeline (no reshuffling releases).

2️⃣ You can’t remove actors, directors, or characters — but you can add new ones.

3️⃣ The core premise must stay the same — no total reboots.

With those limits in place, we prove that even within Hollywood’s restrictions, these movies could’ve been way better. We share how we’d improve character arcs, pacing, tone, and storytelling in Superman Returns, X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man 3, and more!

????️ Whether you love superhero movies, comic books, or creative storytelling, this is one of our most fun and thought-provoking episodes yet!

The SuperHero Homies are back to break down Gen V Season 2 — Amazon Prime’s hit The Boys spin-off that’s full of blood, satire, and super-powered chaos! In this episode, we review the final four episodes of Gen V and discuss how the season connects to The Boys Season 5 and the larger Vought universe.

Before diving into the main discussion, we open with a 30-minute cold open covering all things pop culture and comics! We start with Absolute Batman Annual #1, where Batman beats up Nazis and white supremacists — which only makes us love this run even more. We also share our thoughts on new releases like Weapons, Bring Her Back, Welcome to Derry, and House Full of Dynamite. Plus, we talk about the upcoming Outer Worlds 2 video game and why Swamp Thing is the perfect gothic horror comic to revisit this Halloween season.

Once we dive into Gen V, we discuss everything from standout characters like Cipher (aka Godolkin) and Polarity, to the show’s deeper flaws — including its increasing reliance on tired superhero tropes. We explore the highs, lows, and missed potential of this season while predicting what might come next in The Boys Season 5.
