    Episode 33: Justice League review

    It's been such a long road to get here, but Justice League is finally here! All of the DC Extended Universe seems to ride on the success of WB's biggest heroes coming together for the first time on the big screen. Chris and Dennis give their thoughts on a mostly mediocre film but we still have that glimmer of hope that DC will turn it around.

    Episode 29: Episode 26 - The World Will Never See Another Man Like Him

    It's the final episode of the podcast. Superman is dead and we just can't summon the willpower to go on. We take some time at the top of the show for a bit of reflection on Batman v Superman and the experience of producing a weekly podcast for half a year. Then we get to the scenes in question, finding some truly weird and surprising Easter eggs, even in this very sombre epilogue. We want to thank everyone who listened to the show, especially those who have been with us from the beginning and those who have joined in the conversation online, even if you disagreed with our opinions. Also, stayed tuned for info on our next show, called DC Legacy Filmcast.

    Episode 28: Episode 25 - Sunshine Superman

    Comedian Kevin Avery joins us for the second big fight scene of the movie. In addition to standup comedy, Kevin is formerly an Emmy winning writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and co-host, along with W. Kamau Bell of the podcast Denzel Washington is the Greatest Actor of All Time, Period. Taken as its own thing, we all kinda liked the big fight scene between Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Doomsday, with a few reservations. But seriously, why didn't Superman just hand the Kryptonite spear to Wonder Woman?

    Episode 27: Episode 24 - O Superman I Don't Wanna Hit the Ground

    Buckle up, because we haven't seen a rant quite like we got out of this week's guest. Chris Sims of Comics Alliance and War Rocket Ajax joins us to talk about the Superman v Doomsday fight and we find ourselves in the unlikely position of actually defending the film for once. To put it lightly, Chris didn't like it. We also go deep into the history of DC Comics and talk about the essential nature of Batman and Superman through the decades and how the film missed those characterizations by a mile. And, we explore an very surreal product placement tie-in that gives us a glimpse of an alternate DC film universe in which things aren't so dreary. This episode brought to you by Turkish Airlines.

    Episode 26: Episode 23 - No One Can Save the Day Like Batman

    The Batman v Superman fight has come to its conclusion as Batman races off to save Martha. If Batman has seen the light, do we see any change in his character? The warehouse fight scene doesn't seem to hold any clues to Batman's transformation because this is the most brutal superhero fight scene we've ever witnessed in a film. Batman takes out two dozen henchman to save Superman's mother. We also get our first glimpse at Superman's ultimate foe, Doomsday.

    Episode 25: Episode 22 - Martha My Dear

    The big fight scene between Batman and Superman is finally here and we've got a returning guest, Oli Pettigrew, who has brought along his wife, Linda Black, who he credits with teaching him everything he knows about comic books. We talk about the debt this scene owes to The Dark Knight Returns, find some very obscure easter eggs, and discuss the controversial "Martha Moment." We end with some hope for future DC Comics movies. You can follow Oli and Linda online at @oli_pettigrew and @lindaxenia

    Episode 24: Episode 21 - More Human Than Human

    In this episode we are joined by Abraham Riesman @abrahamjoseph, associate editor of Vulture at New York Magazine. We're talking about a scene that is important for the upcoming slate of DC films, most notably Justice League. Diana receives an email from Bruce Wayne that includes Lex Luthor's metahuman files. We see clips of Arthur Curry aka Aquaman, Barry Allen aka The Flash, and Victor Stone aka Cyborg. Do these cameo appearances give us hope for the upcoming solo films? Are those films even still happening?  We're holding out hope for a brighter future.
