It's the superhero movie of the century (until the next one!) and Anthony and Andrew and dusting off the mics to tackle Marvel's The Avengers's: Infinity War! Can anything stop the Grimace (from winning a best actor Oscar?) Would this all be be
We've not been around for a while. Here's why! We talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the good, the bad, and the fan reaction that killed Andrew's interest in having a fan reaction. And as such, we take a crack at it too. Is Last Jedi an deep
Holy centennial, Birdman! I mean, holy centennial. Birdman! For our 100th episode, we take on the only superhero movie ever to win Best Picture, 2014's Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue Ignorance). Is there anything objectively more important
Just by way of a trigger warning, we have a pretty frank discussion of rape in movies for a bit here. Which is basically what this dark, dark movie was about, so you probably knew that going in, but just to be aware. It's Halloween, and we fina
Awesome! Bodacious! Podcastic! We watched the most underrated comic book movie of all time, 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Is April actually a terrible reporter? Why the hell are they throwing their bloodied, comatose brother head first i
WHO ARE/IS MIGHTY ORBOTS!? Andrew has no idea, he's never heard of this. But one of our listeners requested it, so we're diving into this extremely frenetic, bizarre, but immaculately rendered 80s cartoon. Does putting on a change of clothes ac
We're rocking it old (pre)school and talking about a celebrated trio of Sesame Street superheroes! Does the vigilantism of Super Grover do more harm to the fabric of society than good? Is Captain Vegetable secretly in the pocket of Big Veg? Doe
By listener request, this week we take on the neo-pulp serial/cg proof of concept picture Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! Is this a backdoor Crimson Skies movie? What does this movie have in common with Nancy comic strips in terms of usi
Enough of these dreary, grimdark Supermen! Let's go back to the carefree days of 1975 to a sprightly supermusical, featuring singing gangsters, colour(less) sets, and... Superman committing suicide? How close is Perry White's musical newsroom t
Well, you should just call us a bunch of little Brian Setzer Orchestras cause it looks like we're bringing back swing! Eh, that was a pretty belaboured metaphor. But not as belaboured as whatever's going on in the much-loathed Sam Raimi-headed
With the Hawthorns MIA, Anthony has staged a coup and taken the throne for himself! Awesome! Machinatious! Nathan Murphy comes on the show to help pick apart Game of Thrones through the No Time for Heroics lens. Is there a hero in this show? W
It's Jack Kirby's 100th birthday, and despite being one of the most prolific and influential artists of the 20th century, there are very few movies based on his work. Unless you count Abraxas, Star Wars, the upcoming Justice League and the ent
Everyday we're out there making podcasts (woo hoo) and this particular one is about one of the most awkward-to-pretend-to-be-at-recess superheroes of them all, Gizmoduck! He of the popular 80s cartoon Ducktales (woo hoo). What is the ethnic his
Superheroes are often reporters, or at least giving themselves a position to receive signals of distress. So why not an advice column? Enter Poochie! No, not that Poochie. 80s Poochie! Is there any technical difference between Poochie and Batma
Once upon a time in the '60s, two cult properties arose that would command huge, obsessive fanbases for decades to come. Turn that 6 upside down, and they finally meet, at the height of the '90s speculator comics market, in 1996's highly improb
We cap off X-Mens in July to check out the much maligned X-Men: Apocalypse! And also all the other movies happening inside X-Men: Apocalypse. Would we automatically assume a super-powered being out of context was a god? Does destroying all nucl
X:Men superfan Mark Denine of Escape Quest is back to explain the intricacies of smashing two versions of a franchise together with 2014's Days of Future Past! Why does this movie go though its entire plot twice? What happened to the Bannerman
Megan Murphy returns to take us all to SCHOOL this week as X-Mens in July (Note: It's X-mas in July. X-Mans isn't a thing. - Anthony) continues! How do Magneto's history of suffering and war and Xavier's life of privilege and study inform their
It's X-Mas in July! And we're tackling one of the most maligned Marvel mutant movies mever made, X-Men: The Last Stand. Would this movie have worked better if we had made the Dark Phoenix plot and the Mutant Cure plot two separate movies? Why
We get our black market unreleased pilot dealer Jesse Codner to cut us some premium 90s with Superfriends! Wait, sorry, that should read Super F*R*I*E*N*D*S. It's 1997's Justice League of America! What happens when a bunch of schlubby man-child
Oh, we are just DONE with all those lesser American heroes out there, folks. Time to skip right to the top and talk about the GREATEST American Hero, or a least what was passing for one in 1981. Why does this self-described comedy drama TV seri
It's the movie that saved the DCCU! We couldn't wait, and just dropped everything to go see Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman in theatres! SPOILER! isn't in this, she's in the Bat-family. But Spoilers anyway. Why/how/wherefore shoehorn the Greek Pant
There's Something About Wolverine! We visit what Wizard Magazine called the "Best Superhero Movie of All Time" and figure out if we can find one mistake in that venerable publication's sterling history with X2: X-Men United! Is everyone okay wi
Far in the dim past... when showbiz and bodybuilding merged into shoddybuilding... we got to have a Schwarzenegger love-fest with his first "major" movie in which he's learning English and playing one of the world's first superheroes, or certai
Ainsley returns just in time to help us through a creepy inversion of Captain America's origin story with the 2015 Korean thriller The Silenced. The classic Simon and Kirby supersoldier story takes on a decidedly more gruesome turn if you remo
