Netflix is back with the second entry to the Marvel Universe Netflix-averse (sure, that’s a thing) with JESSICA JONES. This week is the second part of a two week series where  the boys of HMP will be talking the final seven episodes of a character that few people are super familiar with. Is this more DAREDEVIL like magic or is does it pale in comparison? HeroMoviePodcast.com Review us on iTunes Li...

Netflix is back with the second entry to the Marvel Universe Netflix-averse (sure, that’s a thing) with JESSICA JONES. This week is the first part of a two week series where  the boys of HMP will be talking the first six episodes of a character that few people are super familiar with.

This week the boys of HMP continue their trek though the world of superhero television shows with the first five episodes from season 2 of THE FLASH.  We were big fans of the first season of The Flash and we were primed and ready for season 2- but is this still banging on all cylinders?  HeroMoviePodcast.com Review us on iTunes Like Us on Facebook HMP Patreon Follow us on  Twitter  and  Instagram...

Launching with a huge debut on network television, SUPERGIRL on CBS has taken the world by storm.  But is this the show we’ve been asking for or does it fall short of the mark?  This week the boys of HMP discuss the pilot episode.

This Halloween HMP goes back to the spooky- and you can’t get more spooky than the undead....but then you put mime makeup on him....  The year was 1994 and the world would never be the same for skinny dudes dressing up for Halloween. The Crow was big for it’s time but how well does it hold up? And FINALLY Sean is back in studio yet again! HeroMoviePodcast.com Review us on iTunes Like Us on Faceboo...

This week Adam and Bruce look back at the first four episodes of season two of GOTHAM, on Fox. We generally liked season one but has season two improved on the small problems the show has and/or have they created new ones all together?  Executive Producer- Jim Beverly Email from BubbaWheat - Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights ,  Channel: Superhero ,  The Lamb Podcasting Network HeroMoviePodcast.com...

This week Adam and Bruce look back another movie in the “that’s a comic book movie” Club- THE LOSERS from 2010, staring comic book movie vets, Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana, and Jeffery Dean Morgan.  HeroMoviePodcast.com Review us on iTunes Like Us on Facebook HMP Patreon Follow us on  Twitter  and  Instagram Listen to us on our new show-  Preacher Podcast Adam Portrais:  Twitter    The Film Find -  Tw...

This week Bruce and Adam do missing co=host Sean a solid and review CATWOMAN from 2004. How does a box office disaster like Catwoman, staring Oscar Winner Haile Berry, come out just one year before Batman Begins? But perhaps this movie gets a little bit of a bad wrap.

This week Bruce and Adam look back a very early entry to the hero movie genre. In 1944 Republic Pictures, known for their serials (for example, we reviewed their Captain Marvel) brought us Captain America but not in quite the way you might know him today.  Also, we address “the Sean issue.”   HeroMoviePodcast.com Review us on iTunes Like Us on Facebook HMP Patreon Follow us on  Twitter  and  Insta...

This week Adam and Bruce look back on the movie that would make Sean Connery RETIRE FROM ACTING- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Is this 2003 box office disaster the horrible wretch who’s reputation correctly precedes it or is it not quite as it seems?

This week And and Bruce are back to talk about the movie that brought us into the comic book cinematic renaissance we are currently in today.  Fifteen years ago Bryan Singer directed a blockbuster of a movie that nerds the world round had been clamoring for for decades. We got our Wizard Casting Session wish with Patrick Stewart as Professor X but who’s this Hugh Jackman upstart?  Can anyone reall...

Sean is out fighting the good fight this week so Adam and Bruce are joined by Adam's co-host on THE FILM FIND- Matt Smith. This week we look back a RED from 2010- a movie not too many people knew was a comic book film. So how does this movie relate back to the comics and is it worth your time?

This week the boys of HMP are one shy. Sean is out fighting Frank Miller ninjas and wasn't able to make it this week.  But fear not, dear HMP'ers- Adam and Bruce put together as great an episode as they possibly could and it's still pretty good if we do say so ourselves.  Also, you won't loose out on how this movie relates back to Sylvester Stallone as written by Sean, himself.

We’ve had a bit of a rocky week with getting us all together to record a new show.  But fear not, HMP’ers! We have a bonus episode we recorded for our Patreon supporters. (Patreon subs, you’ll get an extra episode soon- so don’t worry, you’re still special)  This is a taste of what you too could be listening to if you help this show by throwing a few bucks our way. On this Bonus Episode we break d...

This week the boys of HMP take a look at one of the most talked about comic book movie of the year- but not in a positive way. HMP recently reviewed CHRONICLE, from Director Josh Trank. Years later we finally get his big budget, superhero follow up but was Trank’s move to the big leagues prove too much of a an upward climb?  Is there ANY hope for this film and what does the future hold for the fir...

This week the boys of HMP book back to the year 1984 and the film debut of SUPERGIRL. Was here launch on the silver screen as successful and her Kryptonian cousin or a giant bust?

1989 was a big year for superhero movies- Batman, The Trail of the Incredible Hulk and The Punisher staring Dolpf Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr.  Okay, maybe it was just Batman that was great. This week the boys look back at this non-skull wearing Punisher and if this rated R tale of punishment holds up to it’s namesake. Heroes and Villains Doomsday Episode referenced in the show. HeroMoviePodcast...

This week the boys of HMP take a closer look at a smaller part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with ANT-MAN....see what we did there? Yeah, it was dumb- it's what we do. Edgar Wright famously left the production of Ant-Man in nearly the eleventh hour but was it to this movie's detriment? Did we miss out on a possible Marvel Masterpiece or have we been in good hands all along? Join us as we talk A...

This week the boys of HMP look back not a comic book movie but rather a comic book movie that never was. In the mid 90′s ole Superman was not doing so hot. So talented folks like Kevin Smith and Tim Burton were brought about to try to resurrect this fallen cinema icon. But they would have their work cut out for them with not only the production itself but also by those trying to help them make it....

This week the boys are back with another great retro review.  Josh Trank is directing the upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR movie, due out later this year, but there was another superhero movie he directed- CHRONICLE. Chronicle isn’t directly adapted from a Marvel, DC or Image book, but rather, it’s own thing.  But make no mistake, HMP’ers- Chronicle’s story roots can, indeed be related back to the comic bo...
