Heroes Retreat with Noel Cruz NOEL CRUZ

Villains. They captivate us, thrill us, frighten us and make our heroes journey worth the watch. They bring forth challenge, chaos, calamity and ultimately - tragedy. On this episode, we look at the top 25 most iconic and admired villains of the superhero genre. Did your choice make the cut? Who got the last laugh? Was the number one spot “Inevitable.” You’ll have to listen and find out. “Wait till they get a load of me!”

The moments that stand the test of time. Iconic, bold, definitive. The scenes that define the characters these films are based on. The Heroes and Villains we love and the hate. The moments that leave us talking about them long after we have left the theatre. So big - it takes two parts to do it! Let’s go - it’s time to take on the biggest moments in the comic book cinematic universe!

In this first episode of 2024, we will discuss two films that have created a buzz amongst fans: one that ends the Snyderverse and the other that is the lowest grossing Marvel/MCU movie to date. We will discuss "superhero fatigue" and if Marvel is as fractured as people have been stating or of this is just the ebb and flow of the cinematic universe. We will briefly review "Echo" and the breath of fresh air it has given a struggling Cinematic Universe. We will also give our thoughts on the Zack Snyder's contribution to the DC Cinematic Universe as it comes to it's conclusion with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. “Hello, Hello - I’m at a place called Vertigo!”

SEASON 4 IS HERE - LET’S GO! HRWNC is back! What was to be a single episode turned in to a 2 parter because it is so big and so fun - we had to go into overtime to get it done! This is my top 25 comic film list. Join me to see if your favorite made the list and where it ranked. See if my selections are worthy of their spots and where I placed them in their positions. Do you agree, disagree? You’ll only know if you listen to this mega two parter! Season 4 should be a blast so let’s get it started with the greatest comic book films of all time!

World’s collide across the multiverse as two of the summer’s biggest films open for their respective brands: DC’s the Flash and Marvel’s Across the Spider-verse. Join me as I discuss these two entries - one that concludes the Zack Snyderverse of DC and the other that show’s why you can never have too much Spider-Man. What’s up danger?! Let’s sit back and see where the multiverse takes us and where we have yet to tread on this 2 film review mega-episode!
