Episode #83 – Superman IV: The Quest For Peace
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace is considered to be the worst Superman film, but returning guest Liam Carrigan is on a mission to defend it as being not as bad as people remember. And Perry takes him up on that challenge with some interesting results.

Episode #73 – Superman: Red Son

Episode #62 – The Batman/Superman Movie: World’s Finest
Mike Blanchard of the GeekCast Radio Network is the show's latest guest, here to discuss what is certainly the best Batman/Superman movie ever made—the three-part team-up that originally aired as part of Superman: The Animated Series.

Episode #61 – Zack Snyder’s Justice League
No one can replace Derrick, but he would have wanted the show to continue, and so it does. In the first episode of this new format, Perry is joined by author and video producer Adam Lance Garcia and they tackle the Snyder Cut. And in true Superhero Cinephiles fashion, there's plenty of other digressions about Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the DCEU, and much more!

Episode #59 – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
With the Snyder Cut release upon us, we look back at the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman and find it's still pretty much as terrible as the theatrical cut. From everyone in this movie being a total asshole to the plot holes and the head-scratchingly bizarre portrayal of Lex Luthor, the only real bright spots are Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons, and Gal Gadot.

Episode #56 – Steel
Yeah, you read that right. We're actually watching Steel, the 1997 film that makes Batman & Robin seem like The Dark Knight. And it's every bit as bad as we remember. From how Shaq is the least intimidating guy in this movie, to the floppy rubber suit, and the most stereotypical black kid ever, all of it will feel our wrath.

Episode #51 – The Death of Superman Lives
For our first documentary, we talk about The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened. For those who don't know, an adaptation of The Death of Superman story called Superman Lives was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton and feature Nicolas Cage, but after a long and torturous production, the plug was pulled. This documentary goes into the movie's development process, featuring interviews with the crew and never-before-seen footage. And one thing is for certain: the movie would have been a trainwreck, but one that we wish we could have seen!
