This time on Reel Comic Heroes, we're talking about Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome ! Joining us in the wasteland is actor, writer, director - Paul Jacob Evans . After being...

You know how the Batman 66 movie and television series was beloved for being silly, campy and lighthearted. Our next movie is kind of like that… but add a lot of gore, violence and a bit of nudity.

Please t...

What the hell happened? That is what we'd like to know in regards to our ' The Evil Dead ' episode. Everything was going just fine... until we hit record. Basically, our mic failed. Normally when we record via Skype, we stop and listen to the first few minutes to make sure everything is recording normally. We forgot that step this time. What resulted is an un-listenable episode. Rather than re-rec...

Superman is one of the greatest examples in all comicdom of how to be a hero. In this episode we take a look at Superman II and discuss how we feel it holds up. Superman II is a product of two directors and actors who didn't want to reprise their roles in a movie that was already in production. This movie has a lot of great qualities, but we don't know how great of a movie it is. Do you think this...

Flash! You know the rest. On this episode we took a look at the cult classic Flash Gordon from 1980. Neither of us had much previous experience with this movie and we both had different opinions at the end. Flash Gordon is a pretty straight-forward sci-fi tale of an Earthman sent into outer space where he encounters Ming the Merciless. He is tasked with overthrowing the maniacal ruler of Mingo Cit...
