Episode #42 – Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is probably the only superhero movie that everyone loves, even Derrick (who doesn't really like Spider-Man). We talk about the wonderful voice acting, the stellar animation, the seemingly simple yet actually complex storytelling, and about how this is a movie people will watch over and over again.

Episode #41 – Hulk
Ang Lee's Hulk was pretty much despised by everyone when it came out—except our hosts. Perry and Derrick dive into why they like this unappreciated gem of superhero cinema, address the clear flaws it has, and how it's aged over time and influenced other superhero movies since. But one thing we can all agree on—that climax was incomprehensible.
-
Episode #38 – Captain America: Civil War
They say the book is always better than the movie, but that’s definitely NOT the case with Captain America: Civil War. Perry and Derrick go in-depth into all the amazing character dynamics, the introductions of Black Panther and Spider-Man into the MCU, one of the best villains yet, and—of course—the big-ass airport fight scene!

Episode #32 – X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past is now on Disney+, so we sat down and watched the extended Rogue Cut (spoiler: Rogue’s barely in it). We discuss the ups and downs of the X-Men franchise, how this movie feels like it belongs in a pre-Avengers world, and wonder why Fox executives can’t seem to manage to comprehend continuity across a handful of movies.
-
Episode #31 – Thor
We go back to the MCU to discuss the debut of Chris Hemsworth as Thor! Being the resident Thor expert, Derrick brings a wealth of information about one of his favorite comic characters and we discuss why this is an underrated film with some awesome performances.
-
Episode #26 – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
With Father’s Day on the horizon, Perry and Derrick talk about a movie that has a personal connection to their relationships with their fathers—Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2. Beyond the rocking 70s soundtrack, the epic VFX, and all the humor is a very strong movie about character and family. We are Groot!

Episode #24 – Daredevil (2003)
Finally, Perry's master plan has come to fruition. The reason why he started this podcast was to someday trick Derrick into watching the director's cut of the 2003 Daredevil, and now the day has come! So how does Derrick react to a movie he's resisted watching for almost twenty years? Will he rage against the film or will he find some stuff he liked? You've gotta listen to find out!
-
Episode #22 – Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Seems almost everybody hated Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance when it came out. But we watched it anyway and even though it’s definitely not a good movie, it’s also not really a bad one either. We talk about some of the craziness that works, the awesome visuals, and how this movie was surprisingly ahead of its time in some ways.
-
Episode #21 – Hulk Vs.
For our first animated movie, we’ve decided to look at the long lost and mostly forgotten Hulk Vs! Consisting of two short movies—Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine—we talk about how actors have colored our perceptions of certain characters, Marvel vs DC, Ang Lee’s Hulk, and…oh yeah, somewhere in there we also mention the film we’re supposed to be talking about at least once.
-
Episode #13 – Black Panther
We continue our spotlight on black superheroes with a movie that looked at expectations for black superhero movies and just blew them right out. And that is what both Perry and Derrick agree is one of the greatest superhero films ever—2018’s Black Panther! Listen as we go in-depth with some of the deep themes of this movie and go nuts over the cast.
