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.

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.

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.

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.

Episode #10 – Captain America: The First Avenger
To ring in the New Year with a bit of optimism, Perry and Derrick discuss Captain America: The First Avenger! Listen to why they both believe Chris Evans is THE definitive Steve Rogers, how the Cap movies gave a first in superhero cinema, and why people who dismiss characters like Cap and Superman are wrong.

It's the holiday season, so we decided to spotlight the other guy in the red suit—2016's Deadpool! Get two very different perspectives, one from a fan of the character, and one from someone who never understood the appeal. Also a little rundown on some of Perry and Derrick's thoughts on the most important superhero films of the past year.
