    Star Trek '09, or Imbalance of Error (feat. Seqarts)

    It's finally time for us to delve into a massive franchise we have yet to cover on the pod: Star Trek. Before J.J. Abrams was handed the keys to Star Wars to run into a brick wall and the hack fraud writing duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci gave us whatever the fuck the Tom Cruise Mummy movie was, they rebooted Trek with a glossy blockbuster prequel everyone loved and had absolutely no issues with. Does it really hold up after all these year? Three out of four podcasters say no, it doesn't. (Guess which one of us said it's alright. Hint: it wasn't Nicole.) We're joined by Trekkie/friend of the show/food wizard/beloved Discord moderator Seqarts to discuss all things Star and Trek.

    Fantastic Four, or Josh Trank and the Wig of Despair

    Coincidentally commemorating the 9 year anniversary of what’s been dubbed one of the worst superhero movies ever made, we watched Josh Trank’s 2015 mega-flop Fantastic Four a.k.a. Fant4stic this week. Doomed from the start by the competing forces of a hot young director and a studio trying to compete with the media conglomerate that will buy them two years later, the resulting attempt to reboot the Fantastic Four into darker, Cronenbergian territory was not so fantastic. It’s stinks actually, but who’s really to blame? Josh Trank? Fox? Kate Mara’s wig? With the MCU’s own iteration of Marvel’s first family on the horizon, the time has finally come for us to figure out exactly what went wrong.  Featuring the debut of our new fourth mic: Kevin Nguyen. He can only say "Hi, I'm Kevin" in a silly voice.

    Green Lantern, or Emerald Shitty

    Just in time for Deadpool and Wolverine, we're turning back the clock to 2011 to revisit Ryan "Reddit" Reynolds of Mint Mobile's greatest superhero shame, Green Lantern. Is it really as bad as everyone's made it out to be in the last 13 years? Yes, actually. But it also represents a fascinating transition point where Warner Brothers is trying to catch up to the MCU with their own attempt at Iron Man. The result is a movie that's simultaneously dated for the time it was released and also innovative in helping to make VFX crunches the standard for blockbuster productions. Plus, we plan a very special visit to a Hollywood cemetery to pay our respects.
