The Caped Podcasters

It's week 2 of Loki and this show is not waiting at all to deliver the goods. Join us in the Fortress of Poditude while we postulate on free will & destiny, and theorize about where this is all going and why we haven't heard a single "Wow" from Mobius. *Loki © 2021 Marvel Entertainment LLC.

The third title in Phase 4 of the MCU is here, and we haven't even gotten a movie yet. It's Loki ! The God of Mischief!

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're talking about the Wachowski's insane 2008 visual spectacle: Speed Racer . There's A LOT to unpack here. Like that the Racer family has a monkey and nobody ever says "hey, what's with the monkey?" So without further ado: Here he comes! Here comes Speed Racer! *Speed Racer © 2008 Warner Bros Inc. *Speed Racer® and its associated titles, logos, and charact...

Sequels. Sometimes they're disappointing and you wish you could forget them. Luckily, this movie is equipped with a device that does exactly that. Kyle from the Experience Grind Podcast joins us in the sequel to our Men In Black episode: our Men In Black II episode. *Men in Black II © 2002 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

We recommend turning your brain all the way off and just enjoying the wild ride on this one. Wanted stars James McAvoy , Angelina Jolie , and Morgan Freeman in a physics-be-damned assassin action thriller. ( Of course we do more Morgan Freeman impressions) *Wanted © 2008 Universal Studios. Wanted® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of Mark Millar and Top Cow...

This week, Dave Novak returns to the show to remind us why we can't have nice things. Using one of our earliest bits against us, the Ginger Skull challenged us to talk about Catwoman . So we made sure to drag him along for the ride. It's only fair. *Catwoman © 2004 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Catwoman® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of DC Comics. Thi...

It's finally here! The final episode of this season* of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . Our boys Sam and Bucky have been through a lot, and it's time to see how everything shakes out for them. I'll give you a hint: they're both in VERY different places than they were 6 weeks ago. *We'll get there. *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier © 2021 Marvel Entertainment LLC. The Falcon and the Winter Sol...

The spirit of Roger Ebert has posed us with a question to ponder this week: What could humans do if they used 100% of their brain capacity? According to Luc Besson's trippy 2014 film LUCY : we'd get superpowers. (And yes, there will be Morgan Freeman impressions) *Lucy © 2014 Universal Studios.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier® and its...

Episode 4 of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is titled "The World is Watching" and boy, is that appropriate. While Sam, Bucky, and Zemo are making headway against Karli and the Flagsmashers, John Walker and his dumb chin show up and ruin everything. ...Have we mentioned that this guy SUCKS ? *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier © 2021 Marvel Entertainment LLC. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier® an...

Who you gonna call!? Caped Podcasters! It's Dave 's birthday! To celebrate, we're taking the week off from the superhero thing and talking about whatever movie Dave wants. And he wants Ghostbusters .

The internet begged and pleaded and WB said: Fine . Here's your #SnyderCut . That's right!

The Phantom® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of King Feat...

The ghost of Roger Ebert did us a favor this month by randomly selecting what may be the most underrated movie we've ever covered. Manny Coto's Dr. Giggles (1992) is so much fun and insanely self-aware. If you haven't seen it, you should fix that. *Dr. Giggles © 1992 Largo Entertainment. Dr. Giggles® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of Dark Horse Comics. T...

We made it! It's the finale of WandaVision ! And what a ride it's been. From those early fun episodes to the emotionally heavy finale, this show took us on a serious journey.

WandaVision® and its associated titles, logos, and character...

Ben wanted to visit the Fortress of Poditude and talk about Constantine . Why? That's a great question.

Constantine® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of VERTIGO/DC Comics....

On the penultimate episode of WandaVision , we got flashbacks, background, and serious character development for Wanda Maximoff (and a tiny bit for our antagonist). Join us while we discuss these developments, that big post-credit surprise, and abandoning the whole Mephisto/Chthon theory. *WandaVision © 2021 Marvel Entertainment LLC. WandaVision® and its associated titles, logos, and characters ar...

There comes a time in every comic where you have to take away your hero's powers to create stakes. And you might as well do it in Japan. Enter: The Wolverine , a movie that despite all its dead astronauts (it's FAR from airtight), is somehow a lot of fun. *The Wolverine © 2013 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
