    'Watchmen' (2009)

    We have reached the end of DC Multicast Season 2! On the season finale, Keith welcomes his Hard NOC Life co-host Dominic Mah to discuss 2009's Watchmen. In addition to talking about what Zack Snyder got right and wrong in the movie, Keith and Dom break down how it was ultimately too faithful to the source material while also not being faithful enough. They also discuss how the film compares to the HBO television series that premiered 10 years later and why Watchmen as a whole is so difficult to adapt into other mediums.

    'The Dark Knight' (2008)

    In the penultimate episode of DC Multicast Season 2, Keith is joined by veteran comic book insider, and former Batman editor, Joseph Illidge to reflect on the game changer that was 2008's The Dark Knight. Keith and Joe share their mutual love for Christopher Nolan's epic sequel to Batman Begins and its enduring legacy as the film that not only made superhero films truly mainstream but brought cinematic legitimacy to the genre. From its themes and politics to its viral marketing and the indelible, award-winning performance by Heath Ledger, there has never been a film like The Dark Knight. It was the movie we deserved but didn't know we needed. Subscribe to DC Multicast to follow along as we rewatch every DC movie!

    'Superman Returns' (2006)

    On a new episode of DC Multicast, Keith welcomes acclaimed comic book artist and writer Jamal Igle to break down all the canceled Superman movies that ultimately led to 2006's Superman Returns. From the failed Tim Burton film to the original aborted Batman vs. Superman, the Man of Steel took a long journey through production hell before hitting the big screen in Bryan Singer's pseudo-sequel to the Richard Donner films. Keith and Jamal also reminisce about their battles over Superman on message boards in the early aughts and discuss why Warner Bros. has such a hard time getting the character right on the big screen. They also talk about what went wrong the first time around and how Brandon Routh got a second chance to redeem his turn as Superman during the Arrowverse's take on Crisis on Infinite Earths.

    'Batman Begins' (2005)

    At long last, the DC Multicast has entered the Nolanverse. Join Keith and Batman-on-Film founder Bill “Jett” Ramey as they look back at the two decades of impact Batman Begins had on superhero cinema. They also use the opportunity of the 20th anniversary of Batman Begins to reflect on Bill’s journey with Batman-on-Film — from its humble beginnings as a simple fansite in the late ‘90s to attending the world premiere of Batman Begins alongside its stars and producers. The two also share in their love of Batman, contemplate the current state of comic book movies, and discuss the future of Batman on film.

    'Catwoman' (2004)

    On the latest episode of DC Multicast, Keith is joined by journalist Lyvie Scott, author of Inverse's oral history of the 2004 Catwoman film, starring Halle Berry! Lyvie tells Keith about her conversations with the film's director Pitof, its screenwriter John Rogers, and other behind-the-scenes figures that brought the film to life. Though Catwoman is regarded as a disaster -- infamously winning the Razzie for worst movie of the year -- there is a new generation of fans embracing the film's iconography. Keith and Lyvie discuss the movie's origins, its place in the history of superhero cinema, and more! Subscribe to DC Multicast to follow along as we rewatch every DC movie!

    'Steel' (1997)

    On the latest editon of DC Multicast, comic book writer and lifelong Lakers fan Greg Burnham joins Keith as they hack-a-Shaq the 1997 classic non-Superman movie, Steel! Before they dive into the similarities between Steel and Iron Man -- and why the movie is "so bad, it's good," Keith and Greg reminisce about how Shaq dominated the NBA in the '90s. They also dig into the limitations of early day comic book movies and how Steel was almost a movie about Milestone hero, Icon. Whether or not Steel set back stories of Black superheroes, Greg has been on the forefront of creating stories for all audiences. His latest project, Bridges, is in the final stages of crowdfunding and is near its goal. Support the project on Kickstarter here!

    'Batman & Robin' (1997)

    Season 2 of DC Multicast continues! This week, Keith welcomes Batman & Robin superfan Britney Monae to discuss the end of the Schumacher era. Widely derided as the film that killed the franchise, Britney shares why the film gets unfairly criticized. Its embrace of camp was not only an homage to Batman’s ‘60s sensibilities, it was also an expression of the film’s queer subtext and influence. They also spend time on George Clooney’s Flash cameo and speculate about what a third Schumacher movie might have been like.
