Biff! Superhero TV and movies

Just when you thought it was safe to take the rest of the year off, Disney dumps a whole boatload of information on a huge slate of Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows and movies. We assemble our crack crew of definitely not Skrulls to discuss the latest announcements and sift through all the news. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The new Marvel’s 616 documentary series on Disney+ looks at the culture and history of the comics company and its creations. We take a look at episode 2, which deals with the history of female creators at the company, and discuss the rosy picture it paints, and where it falls short. Then it’s a Giant Size Superhero Sweep, covering the latest Spider-Man 3 casting (everything old is new again), film...

A show about superhero TV shows, movies, and…comic books?!

It’s gonna get weird. This week, we’re talking about the DCU/HBO Max series Doom Patrol, a character-driven series that is super bizarre, but is probably worth your time. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, the latest MCU casting news, and finally, a long-awaited return to the Letters Page with a quarantine twist. Remember that you can still support the show and get a great piece of apparel by b...

It’s time for some casting news this week, as we run down new additions to Marvel’s upcoming TV series, Sony’s increasingly bizarre Spider-Man franchise, and the Arrowverse on the CW.

It’s been twenty minutes so of course it’s time for a new take on Batman. So we invited on Batman University mastermind Tony Sindelar to dissect the trailer for Matt Reeves’s The Batman, the Robert Pattinson-led film that will appear sometime in 2021, maybe? Then we use that as a springboard for a larger conversation about more relevant and more interesting takes on Batman that we’d like to see. L...

After a much-needed break, we’re back with a look at one of our favorite debuts of this year, the DCU’s Stargirl.

In our Superhero Sweep segment, it’s some spoiler-free Stargirl discussion, and then in our Letters Pa...

This time travel ship is out of control, so we take a quick trip to Afterlife (no, not the Afterlife) in this week’s episode of Agents of SHIELD.
