The Caped Podcasters

What a ride! THANK YOU guys for 4 amazing years, 192+ episodes, and 40,000 listens. The only fitting way we saw to wrap this thing up was with Spider-Man: No Way Home . It's equal parts conclusion, new start, and all the nostalgia you could possibly cram into one place. We love you 3,000 and we can't wait to introduce you to Beer Me A Movie ! *Spider-Man: No Way Home © 2021 Columbia Pictures Indus...

Early on in the podcast, we made the mistake of dedicating an entire month to Batman movies. All that sweet sweet content was immediately used up. Luckily for us, good ol' Vengeance makes so much box office money, that there's always a new one being made. So for our PENULTIMATE episode, we’re talking about The Batman ! *The Batman © 2022 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Batman® and its associated t...

We couldn't end the podcast without finishing the Toxic Avenger quadrilogy! We're joined by our amateur Troma enthusiast, Kyle from the Experience Grind Podcast , to talk about Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV . It truly is the Citizen Kane of offensive movies. 💚💚💚 *Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV © 2000 Troma Entertainment Inc. The Toxic Avenger® and its associated titles, logos, and ch...

Not much to say this week, other than: It's Morbin Time! That's right. We're talking about Morbius . And it's giving strong Daredevil / Green Lantern vibes. Do with that information what you will. *Morbius © 2022 Columbia Pictures Industries. Morbius® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of Marvel Entertainment LLC. This production is not sponsored, endorsed b...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we welcome long-time listener/first-time guest: Phil “Hudson” Hawkins ! And what movie did Phil want to talk about?? Why, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen , of course! It's a movie about a hastily assembled team of literary characters that eventually made Sean Connery say "I reshign from acting." *The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen © 2003 Twentieth Ce...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude: We've finally reached the official end of the MCU Infinity Saga . It's Spider-Man: Far From Home ! Much like magnets, we have to ask: Holograms. How do they work? Also in this episode: discover who threw on the weighted gloves and out-heavy handed John Favreau, right to his face. *Spider-Man: Far From Home © 2019 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. Spider-Man®...

For Bryan's birthday, he wanted to bring you the greatest and best podcast episode in the world. But SOMEBODY forgot to make sure we were recording. So instead, we offer you this… tribute . We commit to a full switcheroo for Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny . Dave supplies the synopsis. Bryan does the critic reviews afterward. Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria! Shenanigans ensue. *Ten...

No, it's not Bryan's birthday yet. Dave picked this one out all on his own. I'm just as surprised as you. It's the 2017 Power Rangers reboot! It's worth noting that the podcast is not sponsored by Krispy Kreme, even though we do mention them about 1,000 times in this episode. *Power Rangers © 2017 Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved. Power Rangers® and its associated titles, logos, a...

Sometimes you listeners clamor for a movie so loud that we can't hold out any longer. In the case of The Shadow , we wonder: WHY DID WE WAIT SO LONG!? An Alec Baldwin -led neo-noir, pulpy, nose-growing adventure with all of our favorite character actors? Yes please. Also in this episode: Dave gets a new IMDb credit *The Shadow © 1994 Universal City Studios, Inc. and Bregman/Baer Productions, Inc....

We finally made it! It only took us 183 episodes to reach the epic (almost) finale of the Infinity Saga: Avengers Endgame . Come for the expected Endgame shenanigans, including which characters from A Bug's Life got snapped. Stay for our really big announcement. *Avengers: Endgame © 2019 Marvel Entertainment LLC. The Avengers® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered tradema...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're talking about a movie that has come up a SURPRISING amount on the podcast: Twilight Zone The Movie . The four stories pulled right from the classic TV show and filmed by four very famous directors aren't even the biggest news here. Not after all the decapitation, anyway. Sidenote: As much as it may seem we’re bending the rules here, Twilight Zone comic...

After a very long time remote, Dave and Bryan are reunited in the Fortress of Poditude for a very special in-person episode. We're finally finishing the Lord of the Rings trilogy, once and for all, with The Return of the King . In the true spirit of Peter Jackson, it's our longest episode since the last time we talked LOTR. Drink every time Bryan mispronounces something! (But don't actually, if yo...

Last week, we did a love story. So it only makes sense that we're doing a break up story this week. We're talking about Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and that title alone brings us to the character limit. We also talk about the McRib for a lot longer than you'd expect. *Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) © 2020 Warner Bros. E...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we have the rare opportunity to talk about a proper love story: Venom: Let There Be Carnage . Are we talking about the love between a man and his ex-fiancée? The love between two dangerous criminals? The love between a man and his alien symbiote? Or perhaps just the love between two podcast hosts and a Woody Harrelson ? Tune in to find out. *Venom: Let There...

Happy Tuesday! Yes, Tuesday. Mondays have been cancelled by royal decree. Why? Because I hate Mondays . The Ginger Skull joins us again for yet another cat-driven movie: Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties ! Because sometimes you accidentally swap your Bill Murrays with your Tim Currys . It’s an easy mistake to make, really. *Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties © 2006 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporatio...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're back in the MCU for an origin story to out-origin all other stories. We're talking about Captain Marvel ! So hold on to your Flerkin butts, because we're doing a deep dive on blue aliens, shape-shifters, de-aged two-eyed Samuel L. Jacksons , knock-off band tees, plot twists, and of course, Goose. Also, the folks at IMDb may or may not be onto us. *Capta...

It's the 4th of July and we want to know “Joey, have you ever seen fireworks from the cockpit of an invisible jet? Do you like movies about gladiators?” That’s an 80s movie reference! Because we're talking about the deliciously retro Wonder Woman 1984 . So Tune in! Because one week of Pedro Pascal simply isn't enough and there’s something absolutely delightful about Chris Pine not knowing what thi...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're headed to Kentucky... by way of jolly old England. The movie is Kingsman: The Golden Circle . The bourbon is Old Forester Statesman . That's right, this cheeky spy movie has its own bourbon. So we... partake. Shenanigans ensue. Also in this episode: A surprising amount of cannibalism, Cooper Manning, and Elton John *Kingsman: The Golden Circle © 2017 Tw...

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're talking about Dave's favorite thing: The X-Men ! But this ain't your daddy's Wolverine , it's LOGAN . The highly-acclaimed emotional conclusion to Hugh Jackman's 9-movie run as the mutant who smells good. *Logan © 2017 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. X-Men® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of Marvel Ente...

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the ‘66 Batman series, WB brought back Adam West , Burt Ward , & Julie Newmar to reprise their roles for the animated Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders . It's that 60s campy Batman you love, but way more self-referential, and doing all the Superhero shenanigans you can only pull off in animation. *Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders © 2016 Warner Bros...

This week, we’re talking about the infamous 90s unreleased film: The Fantastic Four . This movie was possibly never even meant to see a release. That's up for debate. Here’s what's not up for debate: Shot on a meager $1M budget, this film was (Dr.) Doomed from the very start. And yet it still manages to have a whole lot of heart. Definitely Go watch this on YouTube, then tune in! *The Fantastic Fo...

Grab a case of Tecate, a love song compilation album, and your best bud, because we're talking about Hellboy II: The Golden Army ! It's a movie where a bunch of actors who physically cannot display emotion (Mostly because of massive amounts of prosthetics and makeup) get really emotional whilst Guillermo is busy del Toro -ing all over the screen. *Hellboy II: The Golden Army © 2008 Universal Studi...

Things always go a little off the rails when The Ginger Skull stops by The Fortress of Poditude, and this week is no exception. We're talking Mars Attacks ! The star-studded Tim Burton flick that is something entirely out of this world — just ask Tom Jones. Also in this episode: The definitive ranking of US Presidents, 90s kink-shaming, and Martin’s Short. *Mars Attacks! © 1996 Warner Bros. Entert...

In March we issued a challenge to raise $500 for charity in order to continue our coverage of the Lord of the Rings movies. Our lovely Patrons went and raised the money, so Bryan had to promptly remove his foot from his mouth and get to walking. Hell, even the trees walk in this movie! It's The Two Towers ! *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers © 2002 New Line Home Entertainment, Inc. Lord of the...

We were on a break for Dave's birthday, so we're making up for it now. As is tradition, he could choose literally ANY movie for us to cover. Naturally, he chose Wild Wild West . Join us for what Will Smith USED to call "the biggest mistake of his career." Also in this episode: A whole lot of slapping, being slapped, and John Peters’ giant robot spider. *Wild Wild West © 1999 Warner Bros. Entertain...
