Episode #158 – The Mask (1994)
Comic creator Ryan Estrada joins Perry to revisit Jim Carrey's first foray into superhero movies—1994's The Mask! Based on the Dark Horse comic, this movie took a much lighter tone than the source material. All these years later, there's still a lot to like about it and the effects mostly hold up.

Episode #153 – The Rocketeer (1991)
Author Ed Erdelac joins Perry this week to discuss the best of the 90s-era pulp hero adaptations—The Rocketeer! We discuss the origins, how well this film stands the test of time, its legacy, and posit some theories as to why it wasn't more popular when it came out.

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.

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.
