Black Panther has burst onto the superhero movie scene and brought with it decades of history, both in our real world and in pop culture. Samuel and Bentley examine the forces behind this monumental film and discuss just how long it took us to get to this milestone.

A special shout-out to the dearly departed Dwayne McDuffie. He would have loved this movie.

Everyone reveres U2's The Joshua Tree... but what about its sister album, Rattle and Hum? Recording with a mix of live and studio track, this strange stepchild of U2's worldwide dominance in the late Eighties has long existed just outside the absolute musical canon. But now Samuel and Bentley will take another look and see if it belongs right beside its storied predecessor!

Also, we have sing-alongs in this episode. Get excited!

Bentley and Samuel travel back, back, back to the 1980s in pursuit of one of comics' most successful stories: WATCHMEN! But despite its critical acclaim from comic professionals and the wider public, does this narrative actually work? And what can comic creators learn from it today?

A bit of a Rorschach test, wouldn't you say? (I'll see myself out.)

Bentley and Samuel return to one of the core questions of the podcast: what is in the film Canon now that we could actually make do without? Does the French Connection remain evergreen or has the film that kickstarted Gene Hackman's career run out of gas? Join us as we discuss this classic of American Noir cinema!

And never, ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie.

Justice League isn't entering the canon now or anytime, but why don't people like it as much as Avengers? Samuel and Bentley dive into the differences between Marvel and DC's approach to their superhero myths and how they view the living myths of superhero storytelling.

They also talk about how much they love Ben Affleck's Batman, but that's a given at this point.

No movie this time, just abject madness! Taken from the archives, this podcast sees Bentley and Samuel in the midst of a multi-state road trip. What follows are road stories, Batman discussions, Star Wars slobbering, and signs the apocalypse. We hope you SURVIVE the experience!

Just in time for Halloween... Our most controversial episode yet! Bentley and Samuel exhume the corpse of 2016's attempted reboot of the Ghostbusters franchise and find only terror. Why does this resurrection fail where so many others have succeeded? And what lessons can this film teach us about criticism in general?

Seriously, an all-female Ghostbusters sounds like a genuinely awesome idea. How did they mess this up so bad???

Amidst the smoke and rubble of our pop culture, one name stands above... GODZILLA! The towering titan of cinema makes his way onto the RE-View podcast with a stomp like thunder and roar like sheering metal! Join Bentley and Samuel as the dodge the debris of this venerable franchise!

Yes, we know it's Gojira. But we're both Americans, so we say Godzilla.

They're out there... that's no question. The question has always been: where will WE be? Steven Spielberg's classic film about first contact comes before the RE-View podcast. Will it fade from our gaze like a shooting star? Or has it formed a constellation in our pop culture sky? Tune in! Find out!

And always watch the sky...

Deep in the bowels of 2019 Los Angeles, one man searches for the most dangerous androids alive and the answers to his own identity. But... do we still care? Samuel and Bentley hash out their feelings over a movie so critically acclaimed it practically dares anyone to speak against it. But we'll take that challenge...

As a society, we should probably put a hard limit on how many different cuts a film gets. Blade Runner now has what, four or five versions? Just stop at that point! Just stop!
