Spring is in the air over at Planet Arbitrary Studios, a time for new beginnings, rebirth, and matching black leather uniforms. Join your hosts for a rambling trip back to the turn of the century as they revisit the start of the modern comic book movie epidemic, X-MEN! See your favorite heroes and villains come to life on the big screen — classic characters like Toad and Iceman! Is this nearly two decades-old franchise worth revisiting, or were we better off sticking with our McAvoys and our Fassbenderses?

The first big comic book movie of the year is here, and now that BLACK PANTHER has broken records and is on track to make all the billions of dollars, it’s high time for your hosts to weigh in and give the definitive take. Is the latest offering from the MCU (the 18th!) as groundbreaking as they say, or is it just another conventional superhero movie? Joe and Kevin break down the plot with a spoiler-heavy review, plus they finally get around to sharing a few thoughts on SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING!

It’s a new year, and so your hosts are taking some time out from their winter hibernation to talk about the year ahead in comic book movies! There’s a bunch of them, but sometimes the schedule doesn’t work out the way they think so who knows how many of these movies we’re actually going to get? But so far we have big movies from Marvel, Fox, Sony, and yes, even DC on the horizon, so we dig in to what is tentatively coming to a multiplex near you during 2018. Plus some Oscar talk and some ideas of where we might go in 2019 and beyond!

The long wait is over and JUSTICE LEAGUE is finally upon us. Joe & Kevin are fresh from opening weekend and ready to dissect everything from Batman’s collection of menswear to Superman’s digitally altered upper lip. Was it worth the wait to see the team assemble to save the world, or is this one more DC failure for the trash heap? So join your hosts on a Magic Carpet Ride for a SPOILER-HEAVY review of the movie, plus some thoughts on the new PUNISHER series from Netflix.

CBL makes its triumphant return to the internet-waves to talk about the latest Marvel joint, THOR: RAGNAROK! Long-time listeners will know our hosts’ thoughts on the Thor movies so far, but will the deadpan humor of director Taika Waititi turn this franchise around? Were all the jokes in the trailer and the rest of the movie a bunch of CGI punching, as usual? We give a SPOILER-HEAVY review, plus catch up on all the comic book movie news we missed since our last episode!

This week, Joe and Kevin take The Long Walk to a post-apocalyptic police state with the 1995 career killer JUDGE DREDD! Although this isn’t a movie with a great reputation, we thought a revisit might yield some interesting ideas and maybe some silly, mindless 90s action-comedy. But do Sylvester Stallone and his wacky sidekick Rob Schneider deliver the action and/or comedy, or was this all a terrible mistake?
