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.
