After taking some time off, we're back and ready join the crew of the starship Enterprise in a trek across the stars. That's right, citizens. We're talking about Star Trek: The Motion Picture .  The original crew is reunited on a mission to stop an alien entity which is headed for Earth. Meanwhile, the original Reel Comic Heroes crew have reunited on a mission to see if this motion picture lives u...

  This was a weird movie. Overall, we liked it, but we're not really sure why. A lot of it doesn't work, and it's a bit of a mess. But somehow Moonraker has a charm that left us satisfied. With the Star Wars craze in full swing, Bond had to make it into space as quickly as possible. Let us know what you thought of Moonraker . Our next movie will continue our journey across the vast ocean of space...

Alien is one of those weird movies that is essentially just a slasher/thriller, but because of how well-made it is, it is regarded often as a classic piece of cinema. And rightfully so. This is a movie about survival in the face of pure terror against a creature that, like Keith Richards, cannot be killed by conventional weapons. Now that we're in space, we're going to stay there for a while. Our...

Steve Rogers is a hero in every sense of the word. He fights for the little guys, because he was the little guy. Steve Rogers grew up with an inherent sense of justice and bravery. He is as noble as he is strong. Regardless of being bombarded with vita rays enhancing him with strength and speed, he will never stop defending the values he holds so dear. He is truly the Sentinel of Liberty. This is...

We interrupt this podcast to bring you an unscheduled Trailer Talk. To our surprise, Lucasfilm decided to drop a little Rogue One action on us. With the movie coming out this December, we were starting to get a little concerned/confused with the lack of material being released for this 'Star Wars Story', set before the events of A New Hope . We will be return next week with our review of 1979s TV...

Part 2 Greetings, Citizens. We're back to close out one of the most beloved superhero films of all time, Superman: The Movie . Please enjoy the second part of our review and get in touch with us online and let us know what Superman means to you. We'd love to share your thoughts on an upcoming episode.  Find us online: Twitter: https://twitter.com/reelComicHeroes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/...

"Reel Comic Heroes, whaddya want!?" We're back to take a look at the first trailer released for the new remake/reboot for Ghostbusters . We recorded this just a few days after the first trailer was released. Since then, there has been a fan-edited version which has gotten a lot of praise online for making more sense. And the Ghostbusters production has also released an International trailer which...

Greetings, Citizens and Bond fans. We're back with our review of Roger Moore in 1977s The Spy Who Loved Me . We went into this one a little skeptical, as some of the recent Bond films have been so-so. We came out of it thoroughly entertained and hopeful of Bond's future. With TSWLM, it feels as if Roger Moore has become comfortable in the role and has made it his own.  Find us online: Twitter: htt...

The 2016 comic book movie lineup is underway with this weekend's release of Deadpool . The movie is doing very well for its opening weekend and has gotten a lot of praise. In this episode we're going to be chatting about some of the other upcoming films for 2016, and we'll talk about the newest and final Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer . Our next movie review will be covering Star Wars:...

James Bond has returned! The Man With the Golden Gun felt like an old familiar suit. It felt like Roger Moore has managed to incorporate elements of Connery's performance while making the character his own. This movie, while having a lot of light-hearted moments, still found the brutality of the Bond character. Christopher Lee as the villain Scaramanga, along with his sidekick, Nick Nack, are a we...

This week we're bringing you our thoughts on two fairly recent trailers. First up is the sequel to the updated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. To be honest, we didn't expect much after seeing the first movie, but this trailer has us looking forward to the sequel.  Next up is the trailer for Suicide Squad. Everything we've seen so far for this movie has been very promising. This trailer gives a sligh...

We've reached the end of the original Apes series. The franchise has gone crazy places since Taylor (Charlton Heston) first set foot on the shores of the Forbidden Zone. We've seen Cornelius and Zira (McDowell and Hunter) start as intellectuals and then become fugitives. We finally met Caesar - the ape who defied his masters and led a revolution. Now, in Battle for the Planet of the Apes , we see...

Welcome back, Citizens. We're back and ready to talk about one of our two loves on this show; Apes and James Bond. This week it's Apes.  Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is a straight-forward, dark tale of Caesar rising up from obedient servitude to revolutionary hero.  Find us online: Twitter: https://twitter.com/reelComicHeroes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reelComicHeroes/ Website: http:...

Welcome back, Citizens. Patrick and Travis are back to weigh in on some upcoming films. First up is the Comic-Con trailer for Deadpool which looks really fun and different than any movie we've seen so far. Then we get into the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War (spoilers - we also discuss events leading up to Civil War in the comics). Lastly, we talk about a surprising new trailer for Ba...

Just like Sean Connery returning to the role of 007, Patrick and Travis have also returned to the world of James Bond. This episode is all about keeping track of where the diamonds have gotten to in 1971s Diamonds Are Forever .  This movie was rather bittersweet for us. On one hand we're looking forward to seeing where Roger Moore will go with Bond, and on the other hand, we wish Connery would hav...

Greetings Citizens. We had a lot of fun with this one. We finally got to see what it would be like for our simian heroes to be stuck in 1973s America. The tables are turned in Escape From the Planet of the Apes when Zira and Cornelius along with genius ape, Dr. Milo arrive on planet Earth of the past. They quickly learn what Taylor went through when he crash landed in their own time. ' Escape From...

Why hide it? We did not enjoy Beneath the Planet of the Apes . But we did have fun talking about it. Check out our review of the movie and find out what we did like about the movie, as well as what we could have done without.  Beneath the Planet of the Apes follows the journey of another astronaut, Brent, on a rescue mission to find Taylor. While Brent searches for Taylor, with help from Nova, Cor...

A new Bond versus a new Blofeld. On Her Majesty's Secret Service  proves that more than one man can portray James Bond. George Lazenby and Diana Rigg both provide excellent performances in a much more personal movie. OHMSS is, at its heart, a love story, with some downhill ski chases and gunshots thrown in. Blofeld, seems to be pursuing his own needs, rather than the needs of his organization, SPE...

This week we wanted to discuss some upcoming changes to the show. First off, we're switching the format from an audio commentary podcast to that of a movie review show. Our idea is to make the show more of a conversation, rather than a play-by-play of what is happening on screen. We will continue to use 'The List' established on our website and bring you new episodes every week. We'll also be addi...

It's about time we got to talk about Batman. We've finally arrived to the Bright Knight himself, Adam West's Batman. Joined as always by his faithful sidekick, Robin, played by Burt Ward. Batman: The Movie also features one of the best lineup of villains every assembled; The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, and The Riddler.   Find us online: Twitter: https://twitter.com/reelComicHeroes Facebook: http...
