Episode #34 – V For Vendetta
Considering current events, we watch V For Vendetta and are shocked at how much more relevant it is now than when it was released. We talk Hugo Weaving’s excellent portrayal, Natalie Portman’s sometimes-inconsistent accent, and go off on some tangents about Alan Moore and politics in general.

Episode #33 – Superman Returns
Superman Returns is our movie for this week. We discuss the things we liked about it, such as the performances by Routh and Spacey and the epic scenes of Superman saving people.

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).

With Ron Perlman in the news lately, this is the perfect time to spotlight the excellent Hellboy. We talk about the incredible performances, the amazing effects, the pulpy feel of the film, and how Hellboy reminds us both of the original Ghostbusters.

Episode #27 – Doctor Mordrid
In the early 90s, Full Moon was going to make a Doctor Strange film. But shortly before production was supposed to begin, they lost the rights. Instead of scrapping the movie, they decided to tweak it just enough to make it an original story. And it's not half-bad, but like this episode, shorter than you might expect.

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.
