Behold!

Episode Notes "There are things that go bump in the night... and we are the ones who bump back" After striking out on our last two films, we're taking a break from the dross this week to go back to a favourite of both your hosts. And so, with Halloween still just about winking at us from the rearview mirror, it's time to behold Hellboy... the good one! Get in touch: beholdpod@gmail.com https://twi...

Episode Notes "There is no escape. No hope. Only hunger and pain" With Halloween beginning to reach it's gnarled hand around the corner, we decided to feast our insatiable need for comic book adaptations with 2007's 30 Days of Night. It certainly turned out to be a harrowing experience... but perhaps not for the reasons we were anticipating. Get in touch: beholdpod@gmail.com https://twitter.com/Be...

Episode Notes "Battle is the great redeemer, the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged." We're stretching our remit a little this week to light novels as we look at the Tom Cruise robo-punching Groundhog Day reboot that we didn't know we wanted... and also maybe don't? Tune in to find out what we thought! And for the authentic experience, please do feel free to continually loop this episo...

Episode Notes "There are worse things out tonight than vampires... like me" Strap on your ice skates kids and head for hills, because this week we've got a vampire movie to talk about! Topics for discussion include: Blade's place as the start of the superhero boom The surprising similarities to Raiders of the Lost Ark Practical considerations in vampire nightclub management All that plus, as alway...

Episode Notes "Wonder if it’s too late to be unadopted?" It's a Hargreevespalooza this week as we rank not one, but two seasons of The Umbrella Academy. Is such a thing even possible without time travel and copious musical numbers? Tune in to find out! And, despite a jam packed show, we may even manage to fit in a spot of New Mutants chat.

Episode Notes "He may not be Superman, but he'll be a living symbol of what this country stands for" So, Captain America. Much like Iron Man before him, the MCU and Chris Evans('s cheekbones) have transformed him into an international icon. But that wasn't always the case... This week, we travel back to when Marvel's Star-Spangled Man With a Plan had fallen on far harder times. Yes, we're talking...

Episode Notes "That woman has forgotten more ways to kill than entire armies will ever learn" We're turning our eyes to something a bit more current again this week as we review the Netflix original movie 'The Old Guard'. Will this adaptation of Greg Rucka's and Leandro Fernandez's comic be a timeless classic or something best left in the mists of history? Tune in to find out! Also apologies for t...

Episode Notes “I am gonna put you in the ground like it’s my job. ‘Cause you know what? I’m starting to think it is.” It's a two horse show this week as Andrew and Mick saddle up to take a trip to the weird west... of Canada I guess? Yes, this week we're reviewing the first season of Syfy's Wynonna Earp. Despite a pretty lackluster experience with the original comics, will this plucky adaptation w...

Episode Notes "It hasn't rained in 11 years. Now, 20 people gotta squeeze into the same bathtub... So it ain't all bad." Tank Girl. Travel back a few decades and you'd struggle to find anyone willing to defend this box office bomb so notorious that the comic's creators have disowned it. However, as the years have gone by, it's developed quite the cult following for it's sense of style and fast-pac...

Episode Notes "I saw then that my father's only fear was that his son would follow the same road." Road to Perdition, it's a movie that you might not even be aware was based on a comic. Thankfully it is though so we have a more than regular excuse to gush about how much we love Tom Hanks. And that's not all Sam Mendes' gangster masterpiece has to offer. We get in to the touching family drama, phen...

Episode Notes “Iron Man? That's kinda catchy. Not technically accurate, since it's a gold titanium alloy, but…” Iron Man, it was only a matter of time. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is pretty synonymous with superhero movies these days and so it was inevitable we’d start covering this juggernaut (not the Vinnie Jones one though) sooner rather than later. So this week we’ll be taking our first dip...

Episode Notes "I'll never know what she's running from. I'll cash her check in the morning." This week, we grab our heaters and our trench coats, hop in our jalopy and get ready to rough up some mooks as we dive into the noir-infused world of Sin City. How will Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's 2005 crime anthology hold up? Does it shine as brightly as a golden goddess? Or is it more a sickly sh...

Episode Notes Ang Lee's Hulk, awful mess or underrated psychodrama? Our third regular co-host Rob joins us on the show and to "celebrate" we ponder that very question. We talk through the highs and lows of casting, discuss the films Freudian themes and... wait, is that a hulked up French Poodle? Buckle in folks, this one gets wild. Enjoy the show? Like or leave us a review to let us know! Get in t...

Episode Notes One final installment from the Vault of Behold! Behind the scenes gremlins stopped us getting this one out at the time, but now you can finally listen to our full discussion on Netflix's Locke and Key! Find out more at https://behold.pinecast.co

Episode Notes Once thought lost to time but now returned to us, the original pilot for Behold! as its own podcast! Join us for a suitably madcap in-person recording (which hopefully will eventually be the norm for the show) as we discuss the first season of the DC Online Animated series Harley Quinn! Find out more at https://behold.pinecast.co

Episode Notes Behold... the start of a (mostly) new podcast! Spinning out from 4-Panel, the boys are back with a brand new quest, to watch and rank every superhero adaptation until one stands triumphant as the definitive best. And what better way to kick things off than with the movie that began the modern superhero blockbuster craze, X-Men (2000)! Find out more at https://behold.pinecast.co
