As promised in his last appearance, Stacy Dooks has returned to discuss the Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Trilogy! It didn't get a whole lot of positive reviews, and there's reason for that. But some interesting things to look at in this anyway, and how it connects to the previous DC animated universe.

Returning guests Nic and Dani Baldwin are back for a discussion of Will Smith and Charlize Theron's first brusth with superhero cinema—2008's mostly forgotten Hancock. What looked like a fun parody of the superhero concept ended up becoming something far more generic, and we'll break down the good and bad of it all.

In light of the recent election, I have some thoughts I'd like to share.

We're back! Apologies for the long delay, but new episodes are ready to go. In this episode, Alex Marcus of The Pop Break returns to discuss The Marvels, the MCU's unfairly maligned follow-up to Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. We go through what we loved about it, the places where it fell short, and what we think it might mean for the future of the MCU.

Fellow podcaster Anthony Desiato returns to the show to discuss another Punisher film. This time, we examine the first attempt to bring the Punisher to theaters, the infamous 1989 film starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. But contrary to its awful reputation (and despite some generic 80s action film clichés), it's not half-bad.

For the next two months, I’m taking a break from the show to catch up on recordings and get some work done on my comic book project. So I’m giving you a glimpse into the past with SCP Classic, featuring replays of past episodes influenced by recent releases.

The Flash had a number of cameos, and one of those fulfilled Jon Peters's lifelong dream of seeing Superman fight a giant spider in the third act. So for the final episode of SCP Classic, Derrick and I look at the documentary about the long and troubled production of Superman Lives.

Hey guys! I'm excited to introduce my new comic book project, PARAGONS OF EARTH! This is a superhero comic where we've reinvented forgotten public domain characters for the modern day and pitted them against the cosmic horror of a Lovecraftian apocalypse. 

I've been hard at work on this project for the past few months with my co-writer, Thomas Deja, and my penciler, Eric Johns. Now we need your help to make it a reality. If you could back our Crowdfundr project, it would mean a lot to me and we've got some great rewards lined up for backers.

Enjoy the trailer and watch the full video on YouTube.

The Flash came out this past summer to mixed reactions and a lackluster box office return. But one thing everyone loved was the return of Michael Keaton's Batman. So for the first SCP Classic, Derrick and I discuss Keaton's first outing as Batman in Tim Burton's 1989 film.

I'm going to be taking a break from the show for about two months. I'm going on vacation with my family and working on an exciting new comic book project called PARAGONS OF EARTH with Thomas Deja and Eric Johns. 

So until the show comes back, I'm going to be rebroadcasting several past episodes as part of what I'm calling SCP Classic. These are all from when Derrick was still with us and each episode was chosen because of a connection to a movie or TV show that came out recently. 

Hope you enjoy this blast to the past and I'll talk to you again in November.

Superhero novelist and comic writer Jeremy Flagg joins Perry this week to discuss Guardians! No, not "of the Galaxy," just Guardians, Russia's answer to The Avengers. It's a film with some flashes of great choreography and VFX mixed in with a lot of utter nonsense.

Michael Brace of the Reel Media Network is this week's guest to discuss 1996's The Crow: City of Angels. Although originally intended to be a very different movie from its predecessor, producers forced changes to make it as similar as possible. We talk about the production headaches, what the film was supposed to be, what parts of it still work despite the changes, and the fact that this was the final film starring Power Rangers' Thuy Trang.

For Black History Month, we usually spotlight black superhero movies, but I didn't do as well planning for this year. So instead, I've decided to give you two episodes a week. Throughout February, you'll hear a new episode as well as Black History Month Replay, when I spotlight a few of my personal episodes we've recorded on black superheroes.

The first replay is Black Panther, which was one of our earliest episodes and one of the greatest black superhero movies ever, if not THE best. So enjoy this trip down memory lane or experience it for the first time.

This week, Perry is joined by old friend and author Mark Bousquet and they dive into Batman Forever. And while it's not a particularly good movie, it's easily the horniest Batman movie ever made. Plus, Mark has an interesting theory that puts the entire film into a completely different lens. Doesn't necessarily make it better, but it certainly led to a really interesting discussion.

Kelen Conley is here again, and this week we're revisiting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which is the best FF movie to date...although that's not saying much. We discuss the things that really work in this movie, how Doom is still the greatest weakness, and why the Galactus cloud actually made sense (for the time).

Kelen "B-Hyphen" Conley returns for another double feature. And this time out, we're looking back on the Tim Story Fantastic Four films that introduced Chris Evans to most Marvel fans. There's a lot more good in this movie than people remember, even if it is hampered by some poor writing and at least one very spectacular miscast.

Kae Wilson from the Call Us Casters podcast sits down with Perry to discuss Hellboy II: The Golden Army. An original story written by Gulliermo del Toro, it's a movie that unfortunately didn't do as well as the first Hellboy film and ultimately resulted in an incomplete trilogy. We revisit Ron Perlman's excellent performance, Doug Jones stepping up to take on the voice of Abe Sapien, and how this movie proves del Toro needs to make a steampunk film.

This week, Perry is joined by video editor and writer Eddie Thomson of Why We Watch to discuss 2015's Ant-Man! We discuss the long road this movie took to getting made, from Edgar Wright's long involvement in the project, switching over to Adam McKay and eventually landing in the hands of Peyton Reed. We also talk about how the heist film aspect helps set this apart from the rest of the MCU and why not every movie needs to end in some world-ending threat.

You don't get to the MCU without first going through Spider-Man 2. In this episode, Derick McDuff of the Underrated podcast joins to have a look back at what is still considered one of the best superhero movies ever.

Also, we discuss some of the tropes this film helped cement that still appear in superhero movies to this day.

There are many bad movies that Perry has watched for this show and come away with something positive to say. That's not the case with today's pick. Will Short of the Days Past Tooncast (and an old friend from Perry and Derrick's fanfic days) comes on to discuss CBS' failed 1997 Justice League of America pilot. And whether you're a Snyder fan or a Snyder hater, we can all agree that this is the absolute worst Justice League adaptation to date.

Also a reminder, the next episode is big #100. For the hundredth episode, I’d like to hear from the listeners. Please submit any questions about the show or superhero cinema, comments, your favorite moments or episodes of the show to date, things you’d like to see on the show in the future, or anything else related to superhero movies and TV. You can leave a voice message to be played on the show, or use one of the links to send text for me to read.

Anthony Desiato of the Digging For Kryptonite podcast is the guest in this episode to discuss the much-maligned Spider-Man 3. Though it's got definite issues, both he and Perry have found aspects of it that turned out better than expected in retrospect. Especially when the slightly altered Editor's Cut is taken into consideration.

Perry's long said that Iron Man 3 is the only MCU film he dislikes, and now he's going to have that challenged. Professors Sy Islam and Gordon Schmidt are the guests in this episode to talk about their book, Leaders Assemble: Leadership in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and also for an in-depth discussion about Iron Man 3. We discuss the legacy of the controversial Mandarin portrayal in the wake of Shang-Chi, Tony Stark's characterization in the MCU, and Shane Black's role as a director.
