We tend to stick to release order for the MCU but it felt appropriate this week to jump to Ryan Coogler's Black Panther early to honor Chadwick Boseman after his tragic passing last week. We discuss just how good this movie is, how important it is, and how much it hits different now that he's gone. Tired of ads?

The gang's all here and working together. That is, unless you consider Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon part of the gang. Because they're very much not working together on this one.

Hurricane Isaias knocked out the electricity in the Fortress of Poditude this week. But much like Spidey, we didn't let that stop us.

By now it's no secret that Dave particularly dislikes the X-Men , and this week's movie is widely regarded as the weakest of the franchise.

Guess you'll have to listen and find out. #NotMyDeadpool Join Audible and get 30 days of membership free, plus 1 audiobook and 2 A...

Boy oh boy, did Roger Ebert go easy on us this week or what? We certainly weren't expecting this one. Mostly because we didn't know it existed. We're talking 1989's The Punisher , starring Dolph Lundgren. Yes, this is a real movie. And our lives are now better because we have seen it. Tired of ads?

This week in the Fortress of Poditude, we're indulging Dave's nostalgia with The Rocketeer .

We left this week's pick up to the spirit of Roger Ebert , and he did not disappoint. 1984's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension has everything. A neurosurgeon, physicist, test pilot, rock-star, comic-book-hero, samurai (that's one guy), and also John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Jeff Goldblum. Wow. Tired of ads?
