It’s the bottom of the 9th, with bases loaded. DC Comics and Warner Bros are down 5-0 in 2018 with no live action films since Justice League (Nov 2017). The mysterious Aquaman is at bat and the whole world watches in a hushed silence, wondering if director James Wan’s epic tale of royalty and destiny can get DC on the board, and ultimately turn the tide for the studio as a whole. But…did Aquaman change how fans feel about the DCEU? Is Jason Momoa the whiskey drinking, trident wielding, hero we never knew we needed? Where does one wash their clothes in an underwater city? Some of the questions (and MORE) will be answered on this week’s spoiler filled episode, where we take a deep dive into 2018's Aquaman!

V for Vendetta is a thrill ride of vigilantism, with twists, turns, poetry and violence. Does it hold up almost 15 years later? Does the central plot reflect modern politics?

Being a hero may not be what it’s cracked up to be. At least that’s the lesson learned in the 2010 smash-hit Kick-Ass based on the 2008 comic of the same name. Kick-Ass follows Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor Johnson), a normal New York teenager, as he tries his hand at vigilantism, with some discouraging results. His journey puts him in the path of other heroes (Nicholas Cage & Chloe Grace Moretz), and villains (Mark Strong & Christopher Mintz-Plasse), but things definitely don’t go the way he planned. Directed by Matthew Vaughn with the comic written by Mark Millar, Kick-Ass was a tour de force when it hit theaters and bookshelves…but does it hold up? Lucky for you listeners the guys at CBC decided to review BOTH the film and the comic, in an in-depth review you do NOT wanna miss!

Its our FINAL STOP on the road to the highly anticipated Venom film due out October 5th! To prepare for the movie, the guys at CBC decided to look at some of the source material used for the production, specifically Venom's first story arc Venom: Lethal Protector. Considered required reading when you think of the character, Lethal Protector follows Eddie Brock as he ditches the NYC Skyline for San Francisco, hoping to become a hero himself. Instead he is met with a slew of bad guys, shifty businessmen and the Life Foundation, a group of rich people arming themselves for the apocalypse. Its one wild ride but shows how great the symbiotic relationship between Brock and Venom truly is! If you can, please leave us a review on ITunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters!

With the Venom film moving ever closer, the guys get nostalgic and get back in the Delorean. The destination? 1994!

The show educated an entire generation of wall crawling Spidey fans, and it was on THIS show that many got their first look at Venom and the alien suit in the  part story The Alien Costume. How does the story/show hold up close to 25 years later? You gotta listen to find out. If you can, please leave us a review on ITunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters!

We must finally figure out which is the worst Spider-Man film of all time.

Imagine co-creating one of the greatest superheroes of all time, and never getting credit for it. Imagine designing his gear, building his rouge's gallery and even writing his origin, only to have someone else take the credit for decades. Such was the case of Bill Finger, the man who co-created Batman in 1939, only to have his business partner Bob Kane take sole credit. Bob became and celebrity and Bill? Well you have to listen to our review of the Hulu documentary "Batman & Bill" which details the Bill Finger Fiasco in a way that is full of twists, turns, and even a happy ending!  If you can, please leave us a review on ITunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters!
