The Boys has hit Amazon Prime Video by storm, if that storm were filled with blood, guts, bones and organs! Starring Karl Urban as Billy Butcher and based on the comic created by Garth Ennis under The Wildstorm imprint, The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which ensures that they are aggressively marketed and monetized. These "people of virtue" are less than moral, as they create tons of collateral damage and live in complete excess. These ain't your grandma's superheroes! It's up to Billy and his band of misfits in The Boys to put these "supes" back their place, whether they like it or not.

Join us as we talk all the things that made Batman TAS stand out in the golden age of carton television, marvel over the sheer talent of the voice acting, and reminisce over some of the best episodes the show had to offer, in this nostalgic look at a hallmark in The Dark Knight’s lore!

Arguably the most adapted comic book story ever, The Dark Phoenix Saga is story of absolute power corrupting absolutely. Written years before such classics like Watchmen, Secret Wars, & The Dark Knight Returns, the Saga itself is emotional, daring, and the quintessential X-Men Story. From being adapted in X-Men The Last Stand, to its animated interpretation in the 90’s it was important to go back to the actual comic issues that made all of those worth it.

A decade before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a thing, 20th Century Fox had an idea. They wanted to introduce the characters they purchased from Marvel Comics, The X-Men on the big screen. Come the year 2000, they achieved their goal and that first X-Men film’s popularity would eventually let Fox create an entire franchise of interconnected films in the X-Men Universe. Sadly with the release of Dark Phoenix we will be seeing the end of these interconnected films, so it’s time to put on the rose colored glasses, look into the rear-view and X-Plore the X-Men Film Franchise! In this episode we go over our favorite moments, characters, and costumes in the franchise, while also looking it it’s not-so-proud moments…(looking at you Origins).

When an alternate universe Frank Castle was on Death’s door after a battle with Thanos, he had one wish.... “I would give ANYTHING to PUNISH that purple Son of a B*%$#”. That was all the demonic Mephisto needed to hear to make a deal with Frank and make him the Ghost Rider aka the Spirit of Vengeance. Since then it has been quite a long journey for Castle, as he became the herald of Galactus, was embued with the power cosmic, and became the Black Right Hand of The Mad King. Fast forward to his defeat by the hands of the Silver Surfer, and you have the beginning of Cosmic Ghost Rider Vol. 1 Baby Thanos Must Die. This 5 issue miniseries written by Donny Cates with art by Dylan Burnett is beautifully insane in its concepts and tragically amusing with its premise as a time traveling Frank Castle tries to murder Baby Thanos before he can’t grow up to be the Mad Titan and worse, The Mad King.
