The Superhero Pantheon

It's time once again for The Reel World's two superhero podcasts to cross the streams, as Ben, Matt, Jerome & Brian break down Phase 4 of the MCU and answer some burning questions. Plus the ever-chaotic combined rankings of every movie and show. Enjoy the madness!

For the first two months of 2023, Jerome and Brian will take a look at some underrated sequels. This week, it's European Vacation.

Jerome and Brian have spent the first three weeks of the Christmas season discussing various television shows. However, a running theme has been characters from these shows watching 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Brian had never seen this film...until now! They discuss the greatness of Jimmy Stewart (and the younger actor who played George Bailey and has a connection to Demolition Man?) This is our Chri...

Jerome and Brian discuss modern sitcoms this week and keep the Christmas theme. This week, they discuss The Office, Season 2, Episode 10: Christmas Party, Community, Season 1, Episode 12: Comparative Religion, and Ted Lasso, Season 2. Episode 4: Carol of the Bells.

Jerome and Brian are taking a few weeks to discuss the wonders of Christmas through the eyes of some of your favorite TV shows. This week, they discuss some animated episodes: Batman: The Animated Series's "Christmas with the Joker," both Futurama Christmas episodes, and South Park's "Woodland Critter Christmas

Jerome and Brian are taking a few weeks to discuss the wonders of Christmas through the eyes of some of your favorite TV shows. This week, they discuss some classic sitcom episodes: Taxi's "A Full House for Christmas," Cheers's "Christmas Cheers, and Full House's "Our Very First Christmas Show."

It's a very emotional season finale as Jerome and Brian first discuss the passing of Kevin Conroy and then review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Jerome and Brian will be continuing to podcast (including a series of Christmas specials) but this episode is the period at the end of a long sentence.

'I Really, Really Hate Clones' & 'Farewell, Spider-Man' Jerome and Brian are back to discuss the final two episodes of the mid-90s Spider-Man. Despite the lack of enjoyment for much of the season, there is a lot to like in this final two-parter with all the clones. Enjoy the final discussion of Spider-Man for quite some time.

'Return of Hydro-Man' & 'Secret Wars' Jerome and Brian discuss five more episodes, including the return of Hydro-Man and the first version of Secret Wars put on screen. Find out the truth behind Mary Jane and why a three parter should have been five parter. One more episode after this as Jerome and Brian cap off their months long journey.

'Secrets of the Six', 'The Six Fight Again' & 'The Price of Heroism' Jerome and Brian are back to continue the season five slog. They discuss the return of the Insidious Six and the debut of the forgotten warriors (who let's face it, probably should have stayed that way). A very short episode but we'll be back next week with a lot more to say because there are some revelations and some SECRET...

'The Wedding', 'Six Forgotten Warriors' & 'Unclaimed Legacy' Jerome and Brian begin their discussion of the final season of the mid-90s Spider-Man animated series. Look, things are weird but at least there's no fairy tale episode. Peter Parker's parents might be Russian spies. Also, there's two episodes featuring Scorpion. Kingpin is a highlight at least.

Jerome and Brian present the 100th episode of Superhero Pantheon on The Reel World podcasting network. They discuss the Batman '89 six run comic book series put out earlier this year. They also go over a litany of topics including some new major IP series, the greatness of Harley Quinn, and get ready to end their discussion of the mid-90s Spider-man animated series.

'The Lizard King' & 'The Prowler' On the 99th episode of Superhero Pantheon for The Reel World, Jerome and Brian discuss a disappointing finish to season four. There's lizards aplenty and a new villain. Also, what influence did Tarantino potentially have on the finale?

'The Vampire Queen', 'The Return of the Green Goblin' & 'The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson' Bye Felicia! Sadly, Felicia Hardy/Black Cat is leaving the show, but not before being featured in a banger of an episode. An overall excellent slate of episodes this week as Jerome and Brian near the end of the fourth season.

'The Return of Kraven', 'Partners' & 'The Awakening' Jerome and Brian discuss what may be the most confusing set of episodes yet, but at least there's some romance to keep everyone entertained. Sadly, like with live action, Morbius ruins everything (and no Morbin times jokes were made this week nor will they be made next week).

'Guilty', 'The Cat' & 'The Black Cat' Jerome and Brian begin their look at the penultimate season of the the mid-90s Spider-man. They discuss the more feminine writing style and how Felicia Hardy gets a full blown character arc. Join us for a good slate of episodes before things go down in a big way next week.

'Goblin War!' & 'Turning Point' Jerome and Brian finish up their look at the third season of the mid-90s Spider-man with two very strong episodes. All that can be said is Madame Web stinks. Listen to this episode for more on why.

'Venom Returns', 'Carnage' & 'The Spot' Jerome and Brian break down the CARNAGE of these episodes. Yes, it's a Carnage and Venom team-up. Plus, there's War Machine and Iron Man. Find out the second Fresh Prince of Bel-Air connection contained in this set of episodes. A vast improvement from last week as we enter the final stretch of season three.

Jerome and Brian discuss the fourth Thor movie. They discuss the mixed bag that is Love and Thunder. What worked? What didn't? Was this the movie the trailers promised? Jerome even predicts who will eventually kill Thor.

'The Man Without Fear', 'The Ultimate Slayer' & 'Tombstone' Jerome and Brian wonder why Tombstone is and ponder the American justice system. Quite a cornucopia of topics this week in what is kind of a random week of episodes.

'Enter the Green Goblin', 'Rocket Racer' & 'Framed' Jerome and Brian discuss three more episodes of the animated Spider-man. Find out why the show should probably never try to handle racially charged issues again. Jerome is also surprised at Brian's feelings on Ms. Marvel. A rather entertaining last few minutes.

'Doctor Strange', 'Make a Wish' & 'Attack of the Octobot' Jerome and Brian discuss some strange episodes of Spider-man. It's a new season with new characters and some emotional manipulation as a bonus. The ending of the third episode is quite a twist and must be heard to be believed.

'Shriek of the Vulture' & 'The Final Nightmare' Jerome and Brian end their Neogenic Nightmare as Spider-Man gets cured in an interesting and horrifying way. They cover Adrian Toomes's quest to become young again and the journey of Old Man Spider. Plus, a tease for season three.

'The Immortal Vampire', 'Tablet of Time' & 'Ravages of Time' Jerome and Brian are in the second half of the second season of the Fox Kids Spider-man series. This week, it's the end of the Morbius (may we never speak of him again) arc. We also get a random romance involving Blade and a cop plus THE TABLET OF TIME.

'Enter the Punisher', 'Duel of the Hunters' & Blade, the Vampire Hunter' Jerome and Brian discuss more adventures in the Neogenic Nightmare season of Spider-man. This week, Spider-man becomes a Man-Spider as we get more horror imagery. We also get appearances from a more techy version of Punisher and a less cool version of Blade. No one ice skating uphill sadly.
