Episode #144 – R.I.P.D. (2013)
You'd think a movie that's basically "Men In Black meets Ghostbusters" and starring Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, and Mary-Louise Parker would be a winning formula. But as returning guest Nic Baldwin and I quickly learned, you'd be wrong. Still, we have fun talking about it.

Episode #141 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)
Mike Blanchard of the GeekCast Radio Network is back again and this time, we're talking about the second live-action TMNT outing. While the first one hewed closer to the comics, this movie took more of a cue from the classic animated series. And yes, we will be talking about that Vanilla Ice song.

Episode #122 – Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Kae Wilson from the Call Us Casters podcast sits down with Perry to discuss Hellboy II: The Golden Army. An original story written by Gulliermo del Toro, it's a movie that unfortunately didn't do as well as the first Hellboy film and ultimately resulted in an incomplete trilogy. We revisit Ron Perlman's excellent performance, Doug Jones stepping up to take on the voice of Abe Sapien, and how this movie proves del Toro needs to make a steampunk film.

Episode #104 – Bloodshot
Bloodshot was supposed to be the start of a shared Valiant universe, but it ended up being mostly overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Comic book investor Andrew Davis and host of the Pop Anime Podcast joins to discuss what was supposed to be Valiant's answer to Iron Man, but instead just turned into a pretty generic and forgettable Vin Diesel action flick.

Episode #85 – The Phantom
Before the superhero cinema boom, there was a smaller trend in the 90s of translating pulp characters into film and TV. This week, Perry is joined by pulp author John Bruening to discuss The Phantom, a kind of bridge character between the pulps and superheroes. The movie's not as bad as you may have heard, but it's not without its flaws.

Episode #80 – Mystery Men
What if there was a superhero parody before superhero movies were big enough to be parodied? Well, that's exactly what happened in 1999 with Mystery Men. Despite having pretty big comedic names like Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, and Hank Azaria attached, it's a movie that's probably not remembered by most. Michael Hale of the KMP Podcast is the guest this week to discuss this forgotten but interesting episode in superhero cinema.
