This week Adam and Bruce are alone to talk about a DC Animated, direct to video movie (no Sean.....interesting, no?). We are big fans of the 90's Batman Animated Series and Bruce Time but what we got this time around is a bit removed from what you might expect- in a not so good way. If at all possible PLEASE listen to this review BEFORE watching this movie with your kids. Batman and Nightwing are...

Each month we have our amazing supporters on Patreon ( www.patreon.com/hmp ) vote on the movie we watch and our supporters this month have told us that they want us to conclude our run and close out the Sam Raimi run of Spider-Man with our review of SPIDER-MAN 3. It was considered the weakest among the Raimi Spider-Man movies but were we a bit too critical in...

This week on HMP we take a look back to the third Episode of THE TICK live action series on Fox in late 2001 entitled "Couples." From comic to cartoon to this live action sitcom- did The Tick make the transition unscathed? And what happens when you add Ron Perlman to the mix?

Jim has decided that the review this week will be Guyver: Dark Hero aka Guyver 2, staring Solid Snake himself, David Hayter.

This week we turn a new corner in superhero movies- Spider-Man is now a full fledged member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

What does Homecoming hold for the future of the MCU?   Executive Producers: Jim Beverly, Robert...

This week we are still all in the same room and we are back to talk about something BIG. For the longest time Sam Rami's Spider-Man 2 was considered by many to be the greatest superhero movie ever made. But that was WAY back in 2004. And with Spider-Man Homecoming quickly on the horizon we wanted to re-watch Spider-Man 2 before it's (perhaps) destroyed by Homecoming. Does Spider-Man 2 still hold u...

This week the boys of HMP take a look at DC's co-higest rated superhero film- WONDER WOMAN, in her FIRST solo cinematic adventure EVER (weird it's taken this long, right?).
