The Superhero Pantheon

Jerome and Brian are back discussing more new fresh MCU content. This week, it's the return of Sam Raimi for the first time in 11 years. Will this new film be embraced or will the mixed reaction be represented instead? If nothing else, you will find out where America Chavez's political beliefs lie. Oh, and Jerome yells at Brian to watch Better Call Saul.

'The Mutant Agenda', 'Mutants' Revenge' & 'Morbius' Jerome and Brian continue their look at the second season of Spider-man and examine a huge crossover in the world of Marvel animation as the X-Men (most prominently Wolverine and Beast) are featured. Morbius also makes an appearance, but it's not great. Enjoy the discussion about obscure horror and what makes this season so much better.

So it's come to this. Morbius finally came out. Sony threatened this film on us for three years, and here it is, all one hour and 45 minutes of CGI sludge with minimal plot but a fun Matt Smith performance. Jerome and Brian spent so little time on the movie they decided to also discuss Bruce Willis briefly as well.

Jerome and Brian are back discussing the Fox Kids animated series Spider-Man as they finally begin their season two conversation. This week, Michael Morbius makes his debut while Shocker and Rhino insist on wearing their costumes at all times. Oh, and Spider-man is losing his powers and might be becoming...a mutant.

'The Hobgoblin' (Parts I & II) & 'Day of the Chameleon' Jerome and Brian review the final three episodes of the first season of Fox Kids' Spider-man. They discuss Mark Hamill's Joke...I mean Hobgoblin and a pretty solid espionage thriller finale. Oh, and there's a pretty problematic kiss?

Jerome and Brian examine a new release this week. Did the world really need a three hour noir Batman story? Maybe not but what a tremendous effort from Matt Reeves. After reinventing the "Apes" franchise for the 21st century, Reeves does something similar for Batman. We get a lot of Batman in the suit but very little Andy Serkis. We also get a number of people from the rogue's gallery, including a...

'The Alien Costume' Parts I, II & III Jerome and Brian are back this week to discuss the best on-screen version of Venom ever. Yeah, they'll say it. They talk about the dramatic stakes and why this Venom is so much more of a threat.

'The Menace of Mysterio', 'The Sting of the Scorpion' and 'Kraven the Hunter' Jerome and Brian discuss three episodes this week as they break down three more members of the rogues gallery. Definitely on the weaker side. It's a bit of a down week, but there are a lot of wrestling connections. Oh, and we find out what happened to Uncle Ben!

'Return of the Spider Slayer' & 'Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous' Jerome and Brian talk robots! They also discuss one of the most important and iconic villains in the rogue's gallery. Find out what this version of Doc Oc has in connection with...Alfred Pennyworth. Also, a Golden Girls connection!

"Night of the Lizard" and "Spider Slayer" Jerome and Brian begin their look at the mid-90s Fox Kids version of Spider-man. They discuss how the pilot episode resembles one of the movies and question where Mary Jane is. Also, hear about the great voices featured throughout.

Over the course of three years, Jerome and Brian have put a number of movies into the Superhero Pantheon. This week, they focus on people as they induct a number of the most important people in. Jerome and Brian also make some solo selections as well. It's 90 minutes covering the very best superhero performers over the last half century of films.

It's a special edition of Superhero Pantheon as Jerome and Brian run down their ten favorite superhero action scenes of all-time. No spoilers. You'll have to listen to get the lists. (Even the poster was made up by Matt!)

Jerome and Brian decided to discuss all of the superhero properties that came out in the second half of 2021 across a two part giant-sized annual to end one year and begin anew in 2022.

Jerome and Brian decided to discuss all of the superhero properties that came out in the second half of 2021 across a two part giant-sized annual to end one year and begin anew in 2022. This is part one, the last podcast of 2021 as they discuss Loki, Black Widow, The Suicide Squad, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Jerome and Brian end their run of Muppet movies by discussing the 1992 Muppet Christmas Carol. There really was no other way to end this run, especially since this is the week of Christmas. They discuss the greatness of Michael Caine, a controversial deleted scene, and some banger songs. They also discuss the future of the Muppets as well.

Jerome and Brian discuss a Muppet movie they've been dreading as they explore the direct sequel of the previous Muppet movie. They discuss the highs (mostly the songs) and lows (the actual plot). Find out why Muppet movies shouldn't be over 90 minutes long.

Jerome and Brian return for another month of Muppet movies, this time the reboot sequel that gets us back to the theater and roots of our favorite felt characters...and we're not talking about the Moopets. They also discuss the eclectic career of Jason Segel and the greatness of Amy Adams.

Jerome and Brian discuss the final Muppets movie before officially being bought by Disney. It's also the end of an era as this is Frank Oz's final Muppet movie as well. A major disappointment on every level with minimal music and a bizarre plot straight out of the 1990s. Oh, and count all the canceled performers.

Jerome and Brian discuss the weakest of the Muppet movies so far as the creators try to generate the same magic as Muppet Christmas Carol. It's a movie where the human characters are written to outshine the muppets as our favorites are reduced to supporting roles. Despite the problems, there are still some highlights. Find out why adapting non-copyrighted material doesn't always work.

Jerome and Brian cover a Muppet movie that is very different than last week. Frank Oz takes over the director's chair while Jim Henson performs Kermit for the last time in a Muppet movie. Things will get rough for a couple weeks quality wise, so bear with us through a rough stretch.

This is Brian's favorite Muppet movie, and it's time for them to discuss it. They talk about old school Hollywood, confusing Diana Rigg for Julie Andrews, Columbo with Muppets, and the greatness of Charles Grodin...oh and Muppets.

Jerome and Brian begin their two month long look at the eight Muppet movies. Tonight they discuss the career of Steve Martin, why riding a bike is so impressive, and why Jerome is relieved Grover still has a head.

Jerome and Brian narrow avoided being run over by an evil car to provide their thoughts on Christine. They talk about Stephen King's crappy endings and why a car is the most well developed character in the movie.

Jerome and Brian discuss one of John Carpenter's most iconic and best movies, 1982's The Thing. Not only is this an outstanding horror movie, it's a great showcase for Kurt Russell and a stellar group of character actors. Hopefully, Jerome and Brian can recover from their own paranoid to finish this podcast.
