Okay, this is cool. In Japan, buying a ticket to Supergirl comes with the full first issue of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Translated into Japanese with a QR code to buy it. Every comic book movie should do this.

I'm very welcoming of new guests, regardless of what sort of platform they have (or no platform). The one rule I have is you have to be genuine. Getting some marketing agency to spam my inbox with AI-crafted bullshit like this is the quickest way to end up on my blacklist.

4 favorite Marvel characters (not necessarily my top four, but four that I really dig).

First image of Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir!

Over the next few months, we're going to be revisiting our past Superman coverage to prepare for the release of James Gunn's Superman!

The average American has three friends.

Finally time for Daredevil: Born Again!

Finally found time to see Captain America: Brave New World. Movie’s about to start, looking forward to Sam’s first full outing as Cap.

Next movie for the pod is The Crow: Wicked Prayer. Have any comments/questions about this film to be read on the air? Reply with them!

The claws are coming out this week! Marvel novelist Carrie Harris joins Perry to discuss Hugh Jackman’s much maligned first solo outing as Wolverine, and there’s a lot to talk about—some good (Liev Schreiber), but a lot of bad. superherocinephiles.com/xmowolverine/

200 episodes. When the late, great Derrick Ferguson and I started this show, we were surprised when we got to episode 50. And after he passed after episode 60, I didn't think there would be any more episodes at all. Here's to 200 more, and here's to Derrick for helping it start.

Episode 200! And for an episode like this, we’re covering a superhero movie with two titanic leads, plus two guests—Media/Lit's Kris and Randy! We’re talking the multiversal madness of Deadpool & Wolverine, and all the good and some bad that comes with that. superherocinephiles.com/deadpoolwolv...

Jeff Fountain of the USDN Podcast is the guest this week for a discussion of Nicolas Cage’s first (completed) superhero film—2007’s Ghost Rider! We discuss the film’s legacy, Cage’s performance, and all the ways it really missed the mark. superherocinephiles.com/ghostrider/

Author Brad Mengel returns for a discussion of 1990’s Dark Avenger, a forgotten attempt at capitalizing on the success of Batman ’89, but features a fun performance from Maggie Han and some surprise cameos from the likes of Ken Jenkins and Robert Vaughn. superherocinephiles.com/darkavenger/

I do remember this era when lots of glamour models were partnering with comic publishers. Alley Cat was the one that caught my hormonal teenage eye.

Educator and comic fan Scott Honig returns for a fun discussion about Big Hero 6! Many people may not know that this film is actually based on a lesser-known Marvel team. We discuss the comic version (good and bad), how this film improved on a lot, and plenty more. superherocinephiles.com/bighero6/

Since we’re still off for the holidays, it’s a good chance to revisit another superhero holiday favorite—1992’s Batman Returns! Relive Perry and Derrick’s discussion as you get ready to ring in the new year. superherocinephiles.com/scpc-batmanr...

We’re off for the holidays, but relive 2022’s Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and Perry’s discussion with filmmaker Rick Ives about the film. superherocinephiles.com/scpc-gotghs/

We are less than an hour away from the first Superman trailer!!!!

Tyler of @kryptonreport.bsky.social joins to talk The Crow: Salvation. We’ve got some thoughts on the things this film did decently, and spots where they dropped the ball. superherocinephiles.com/thecrowsalva...

@stacyhd.bsky.social has returned to discuss the Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Trilogy! It didn’t get a whole lot of positive reviews. But some interesting things to look at, and how it connects to the previous DC animated universe. superherocinephiles.com/jlcoie/

Finally, we cover The Dark Knight. Considered by many to be the greatest superhero movie ever made. So how does it hold up? Regular guest Derick McDuff returns to help Perry answer that question. @underratedmoviepod.bsky.social superherocinephiles.com/thedarkknight/

Time to see if this is as bad as everyone says.

Yes, I'm religious and a man of deep, unshakeable conviction and faith. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

I hope it’s not connected to any animated universes and is just a straight-up adaptation like Dark Knight Returns or Superman/Batman or New Frontier.

Best bearded Lex Luthor?

Brimstone did an awesome job with that concept, though.

@diggingforkrpod.bsky.social is back to talk Superman: Unbound, the animated adaptation of the Superman: Brainiac story. We discuss the odd title, our feelings on this story and its source material, and the depiction of Supergirl. superherocinephiles.com/supermanunbo...

Recording an episode on this tomorrow. Haven’t seen it since it first came out. Wonder if it’s as bad as I remember?

Watched Dark Avenger for an episode I’m recording this weekend. Good points: Maggie Han hams it up and Dr. Kelso from Scrubs is in it. Bad points: Just about everything else.
