Black History Month Replay – Black Panther
For Black History Month, we usually spotlight black superhero movies, but I didn't do as well planning for this year. So instead, I've decided to give you two episodes a week. Throughout February, you'll hear a new episode as well as Black History Month Replay, when I spotlight a few of my personal favorite episodes we've recorded on black superheroes.

Fellow comic creator and podcaster Lyndsey Little makes her debut to talk about the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog! We discuss how surprising this movie was, the things we really enjoyed about it, how some things hit both of us in different ways, and a little bit on the aborted original design.

Episode #136 – Secret Identities
Shortly after his last appearance, Digging For Kryptonite's Anthony Desiato is back. But this time, we're not talking a movie. Instead, in this special topic episode, we're going to talk about the trope of secret identities—do they still work, are they necessary, what purpose do they serve, and what are some good and bad examples?

Episode #133 – Ms. Marvel
Professor Sy Islam is back for a discussion of another MCU TV series. In this episode, we focus on Ms. Marvel, discussing the importance of this character for representation, how she's served to bring new, young fans into Marvel, the changes from the comics, expanding people's knowledge of history and culture through stories like these, and so much more.

Episode #132 – Batman Forever
This week, Perry is joined by old friend and author Mark Bousquet and they dive into Batman Forever. And while it's not a particularly good movie, it's easily the horniest Batman movie ever made. Plus, Mark has an interesting theory that puts the entire film into a completely different lens. Doesn't necessarily make it better, but it certainly led to a really interesting discussion.

Episode #131 – The Punisher (2004)
The Punisher has had a number of false starts in adaptations and in this episode, we discuss the 2004 attempt starring Tom Jane and John Travolta. Anthony Desiato of the Digging For Kryptonite podcast returns to the show to talk about a character quite different from his usual fare and there's a lot of good to be found in this film, but also plenty to criticize.

Episode #130 – Jumper
In this episode, we revisit another forgotten superhero movie from the early aughts. Nic Baldwin of the In Love With Movies podcast is the guest to revisit this little-known film starring Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson. It's got some moments, but it's unfortunately not the same kind of unrefined gem that the similar Push was.

Episode #129 – Spawn
Demond Thompson of the Demond Does and Disputed podcasts returns to discuss the largely forgotten Spawn film from 1997. We talk a little about the comics, Martin Sheen being really out of place, the bad CGI, and how the best thing about this movie is John Leguizamo's take on Clown.
