Let's celebrate the release of a great Suicide Squad movie by looking back at a terrible Suicide Squad movie! What can I say, we're kinda masochistic here on Podcapers. Scott's joined by Jillian Diblasio to watch the first, but thankfully not last, outing of Task Force X, and hopefully shed some more light on why it utterly fails.

FUCKING FINALLY! It's not like we've been waiting for a good live action Suicide Squad for years now! And who better to join Scott in reviewing it than DC superfan, Alex Mira- wait, what? Alex isn't in this episode? Wow. Okay. Who is? Francisco Andrade? Alright then. They talk about the highs and- I'm sorry, it's just weird not having Alex in a DC related episode. I need time to process this. Just...

AND I SAY! He-Man is back! The much anticipated Kevin Smith continuation is here and it's...good? Eh, kinda. Worth a watch I guess. Damn, just gave away the crux of the whole episode. Oh well, stick around and listen to Scott and Mark Russell talk about a show they watched based on another show they didn't. Or don't, I'm not going to tell you what to do.  Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your...

There's never a bad time to talk about these kind of things, especially when you've got an actual, bona fide, smarty-pants™ on your podcast! Scott is joined this week by academic Elise Sandbach to talk about female representation in comics, the relationship comic creators have with their female audience, and other topics that are best explained by a Cis Man. He's an expert because he says he is! L...

Well it's about damn time! The long awaited Black Widow prequel midquel standalone film is here. Was it worth the wait? Nope. Sorry Capers, this was a disappointing film. But does that make it a BAD film? Oddly enough, no. Scott is joined by Jillian Diblasio to talk about what should have been the easiest MCU film to get right, that turned out to maybe be it's weakest entry. Listen and Subscribe w...

This episode is a perfect example of why two fantasy nerds should not be allowed in the same room together! Scott is joined once again by writer and artist Lyndon White to talk about the Kickstarter for his much anticipated graphic novel, Candles. At least, that's what they were SUPPOSED to talk about. Instead they keep wittering on about magic and D&D and Hobbits and crap, I dunno. Listen and Sub...

When asked the question "Who run the world?", the philosopher known as Beyoncé famously retorted: "Girls". And like with most things, she was right. This week, Scott is joined by Amy and Ashling of the new YouTube channel Creating Women, to talk about their show, the many comics that inspired them, and even a little bit of Manga. Because why not at this point?  Listen and Subscribe wherever you ge...

Bounty Hunting, Martial Arts, and Teddy Ruxpin, oh my! This week, Scott talks with Shequeta Smith about her amazing work on Rayven Choi, a multi-cultural story about loss, revenge, and representation. Hel, that doesn't even cover most of it. There's a lot to unpack this week, even if you forget about the whole "Let the Bat Eat the Cat" thing. Don't ask. Seriously. Don't. Listen and Subscribe where...

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. Also there's a sun eating monster in it. Scott is joined by Grant DeArmitt and Lane Lloyd to talk about their new comic "Hunt for the Solavore". They discuss their love of the weird, the joys of creating a univer...

She's Bad. She's Back. She's...better than ever? Eh, kinda. Scott and Mark Russell review the latest live action movie Disney warmed up in the microwave and threw in our faces. But this one defies all expectations by being pretty good. But good enough to temper Scott's distaste of all things Disney? It remains to be seen!

They'll make anything a TV show these days. And rightly so because this show is awesome! At least, according to Scott. AP2HYC writer Omar Khalil has a slightly different opinion about Marvel's magnificent Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. Has Scott met his match? Or will Omar be verbally beaten into submission like everyone else who comes on this show. Eh. First time for anything, I guess...

Faster than a speeding hormone! More angsty than a Draco/Harry fanfic! It's...Super Teen™! Okay, the show is actually better than that. Like, WAY better. Scott, himself a pretty big fan of the comic, is joined by Invincible super-fan Andy Clift for one of the least pretentious deconstructions of the superhero genre ever! As in, the TV show Invincible. Not this episode of Podcapers. Because lets fa...

It's a brand new day, it's a brand new era, and it's time for a brand new Marvel TV show! The much anticipated Falcon and the Winter Soldier is finally here, but does it hold up to the hype? That's for Scott and AP2HYC writer Kayleigh Clark to decide. They discuss the action, the drama, and of course, Daniel Bruhl's sick dance moves. Strut your funky stuff Zemo! Listen & Subscribe wherever you lis...

In an unprecedented boom of superhero films, still going strong after 10 years, one film has the courage to say "We can be utterly, utterly awful too!". Join Scott as he continues to torture Jillian Diblasio in an audio commentary of yet ANOTHER terrible movie, this time the recent piece of Melissa McCarthy dreck known as Thunder Force. It's about as watchable as you think it is, i.e. not at all....

It's finally happened. Scott has run out of bad Disney films to rant about (at least for now)! So all that's left is...the good ones? Join Scott, Mark Russell, and Alex Mirabal for the very LAST Dirty Disney Dozen, where Scott has no choice but to begrudgingly compliment the studio he hates the most by listing their films that he thinks actually work. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and the emoti...

Despite refusing to review this movie until it came out of premier access, Scott has bowed to pressure and decided to give Disney's latest animated film a shot. And he immediately regretted it. Joining him on this journey of disappointment and shame is Mark Russell, because at this point no one else is willing to do anything Disney related with Scott for fear of going deaf from his screams of rage...

As hate crimes against Asian people in both the US and the UK continue to grow, Scott is once again joined by Archit Tripathi to talk about the systemic bigotry in our society that has led us to this point. Furthermore, they discuss the many great superhero characters both from all corners of Asia and of Asian descent that deserve recognition and respect, just like the Asian community. These chara...

It's not often you can review the same movie twice. But what if it's not really the same movie? Scott is once again joined by DC superfan Alex Mirabal to review a Justice League movie. But is it better than the previous version? At nearly 4 hours it better be! It's arguably easy to make a good movie with a runtime that long, but that aside, is this the love letter that DC fans have been longing fo...

As part of Scott's quest to dive deeper into the murky waters of fandom, he's joined by Jillian Diblasio and Mark Russell to talk about...*sigh*...shipping. Yeah, yeah, make your jokes, but give us a break! In the future, this is what scholars will be doing their dissertations on! And seeing as how Scott clings to the familiar like it's a comfort blanket, it made sense for them to talk about shipp...

We've said it before and we'll say it again. Weird is fun. And what would be weirder than WandaVision? That's what Scott and Francisco Andrade are here to ask. They discuss the highs and...well there aren't really any lows in this show. That's how good it is! Prepare yourselves for listening to two grown men positively GUSH about this show! Listen & Subscribe wherever you listen to your Podcasts!...

From the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the hearts and minds of millions around the world, Jack Kirby very much earned the title of "King". But his was not an easy journey. Join Scott as he talks with writers Fred Van Lente and Crystal Skillman about their play turned audio drama King Kirby, a fantastic exploration of the man behind some of the most beloved characters in comic book history. Also...

Happy Valentines Day Capers! Okay, yeah, it's been a few days since the 14th, but Scott and Jillian Diblasio want to celebrate anyway. By watching one of the crappiest "romance" films to come out of the 90's.

Does this video game series have a soul? Scott and Kit certainly think so! And with the latest trailer for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition out, they have a lot of opinions about how they'd like the remaster of three of their favourite games to turn out. Imagine that. Sci-fi fans having an opinion on something. You so rarely see that these days. Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android...

Keep on truckin' soul brothers! I'll stop now. Batman has a new animated movie...one that would be better suited without him. Scott and Alex run down the good and the bad of this 70's exploitation inspired outing, all while simping over Lady Shiva. Peace, love, and granola!  Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Play...

With Wonder Woman 1984 continuing to garner negative criticism, it makes you question what the future of the DCEU really is. Sure, there's a brand new Suicide Squad coming up, but what about some of the lesser known heroes of the DC universe? When are they going to get their time in the spotlight? Scott is joined by new AP2HYC writer Francisco Andrade to talk about who those heroes should be, and...
