Episode #65 – The Amazing Spider-Man
Podcaster and musician Kelen "B-Hyphen" Conley joins Perry for a double-feature! In their first movie, they watch The Amazing Spider-Man, a movie Kelen was prepared to eviscerate. But you know what they say about best-laid plans...

Episode #64 – Logan
Perry is joined this week by John Bracich, his former co-host on The Geek Screen, the podcast that was a precursor to this one. This time around, they're discussing Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's grand finale performances as Wolverine and Professor X in 2017's Logan.

Episode #63 – Guardians of the Galaxy
Demond Thompson of the Demond Does Podcast stops by the show for a discussion about the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. But in true Superhero Cinephiles fashion, we also go on a number of tangents about Milestone Comics, memories of Derrick, and many more!

Episode #60 – Avengers: Age of Ultron
Now that WandaVision is complete, we revisit the film that introduced the Vision and Scarlet Witch. We talk about why even though many consider it the redheaded stepchild of the Avengers films, we both love it. We praise James Spader's underrated performance, discuss how Hawkeye is the glue of the Avengers, and explain why we think Aaron Taylor Johnson is a superior Quicksilver to Evan Peters. And yes, we do address the Black Widow/Hulk stuff that set the internet on fire once upon a time.

Episode #57 – Blade II
Our black superhero spotlight ends on a high note when we watch Guillermo Del Toro's pitch-perfect Blade II. There's not a lot we don't discuss, from the wonderful direction to the performances with special emphasis on Snipes, Perlman, and Kristofferson, and why Marvel can't seem to make Blade work in the comics. All this, plus we talk about the ongoing saga of the Joss Whedon abuse allegations and Gina Carano being fired.

Episode #52 – Deadpool 2
In a belated Christmas gift, Derrick picked Deadpool 2 for this week. We talk about why we think this is an improvement on the first film, address the issue of fridging Vanessa, and praise the character interactions. On another note, we also discuss the current controversy over the Punisher's logo. Now when can we get Zazie Beetz in a Domino movie?

Episode #49 – Iron Man
With our big fiftieth episode just around the corner, we chose to watch the movie that started the MCU and helped reinvigorate the superhero genre—2008's Iron Man! Looking back, we reflect on how much of a surprise some of the casting choices were and how nobody expected Iron Man to be the lynchpin of the Marvel Universe.

Episode #48 – The New Mutants
With all the delays and reshoots, Josh Boone's New Mutants may be the most cursed superhero movie to date. But now that it's finally on VOD, we gave it a watch and found it to be better than we expected, though not without its flaws. On the good, there's the cast of young actors (particularly Anya Taylor-Joy) and on the bad, there are some questionable story choices and the baffling decision to use Cecilia Reyes as someone the character never looked or acted like. Plus: why we're over Christopher Nolan.

Episode #43 – The Incredible Hulk
A couple of episodes ago, we talked Ang Lee’s Hulk. So what better choice this week than its successor, the 2008 semi-sequel The Incredible Hulk? We compare it to Lee’s version, talk about the things that set it apart, and about how it’s the redheaded step-child of the MCU. Also: we react to the news that Jared Leto is returning as the Joker in Snyder’s Justice League. And we have…thoughts.
