"I'M DONE SAVING YOU." Transformers has been a franchise that has endured for forty years in TV, games, comics, and films -- despite the latter being tumultuous for nearly two decades. The Michael Bay films were box office hits but only seemed to grow sour with the audience more and more over time, and did no favors for the Bumblebee spinoff or the first Bay-less live action attempt with Rise of the Beasts. Then, for the first time since the eighties, an animated film hit theaters last year. Despite its poor marketing and box office flop, it has become a cult classic among fans, and definitely amongst us. So, how does it hold up one year later? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) to find out as they revisit the phenomenal TRANSFORMERS ONE!
"THIS IS WHERE THE STORY REALLY STARTS." HAPPY HALLOWEEN! To celebrate the occasion, we figured we'd take a look at one of the year's most popular horror offerings. Zach Cregger's been making a name for himself in the filmmaking space, first with Barbarian and next year with Resident Evil. Is his sophomore outing really all it's cracked up to be? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they check out what many have called a new classic -- Zach Cregger's WEAPONS!
PLACE YOUR BETS! While we wind down to the last holidays of the year, it's time to put the MCU on the backburner for a minute and dive into a couple horror flicks! A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th were two slasher genres past their prime in the nineties, but that didn't stop the ultimate crossover from trudging its way through development hell for nearly a decade before finally gracing the silver screen at a time the slasher genre only saw success in parodies and pastiches. So, does the cheese hold up, or does the datedness bring it down? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they celebrate Spooky Season with the ultimate horror crossover -- FREDDY VS. JASON!
"THERE WAS AN IDEA..." 2012 was a big year. The end of the Dark Knight trilogy. The beginning of the short-lived Amazing Spider-Man franchise. The premiere of Gravity Falls. Disappointing endings to Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed. The end of the world itself. But only one movie in particular marked both the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Back in the day, nothing like today's film could ever be conceivable in terms of pulling off, but somehow they did it. So, does the movie that changed the game of blockbuster filmmaking hold up? Come join Alec, Brian, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying), Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey), & Helena (@SpiderKnightART) as they finish up Phase One of the MCUathon with the movie that defied every expectation -- THE AVENGERS!
"I HAD A DATE." With the road to Avengers all but cleared, there was one character left to introduce before the biggest crossover movie of all time -- the leader. Captain America never tried his hand again at the silver screen after the disaster that was the 1990 film, and getting this new attempt off the ground had its own share of troubles. In spite of all that, the movie finally got made, and even though it was received with lukewarm reactions, it's certainly garnered a lot of love over time. So, how is it now, looking back? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they near the end of Phase One of the MCUathon with the start of its (arguably) best trilogy -- CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER!
AKA ODIN GETS CRITICIZED ONCE AND DIES. Lukewarm off the heels of The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2, Marvel's path towards The Avengers got a little rocky. The film was delayed by a year, and they had to hunker down on their last two establishing films beforehand. First up was the God of Thunder, arguably their biggest dice roll in casting then-unknowns Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. The end result was a film that, while not entirely lightning in a bottle, captured audiences in ways they wouldn't entirely realize until the year after. So, how does it hold up? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue Phase 1 of the MCUathon with Kenneth Branagh's THOR!
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE." After the shock success of Iron Man, Marvel quickly put a sequel into production. Problem was, between their acquisition by Disney, their planned roadmap, and a non-negotiable May 2010 release date, this was a project doomed to be rushed, disjointed, and interfered with. However, is it really as messy as everyone says it is? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue Phase One of the MCUathon with the other bump in the road towards The Avengers -- IRON MAN 2!
WOW, LOOK! NOTHING! In the very, VERY early days of the MCU, Kevin was trying to get the various studios that had the rights to Marvel's biggest characters to cooperate with him and Marvel Studios in building his interconnected universe. One that seemed to join him at the start was Universal, as the two worked together to create a new Hulk movie. While nothing seemed to really go wrong, one could say it's clear from the final product why they haven't come together again. So, come join Brian and Alec as they continue Phase 1 of the MCUathon with the often-forgotten follow-up to Iron Man -- THE INCREDIBLE HULK!
"MY TURN." The next Avengers film is about a year out. We have over thirty films to sift through. Let's get started. Back in the day, it was inconceivable to make a franchise connecting a bunch of different solo characters on the big screen the way they were in comics. Back in the day, Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. were seen as box office bombs waiting to happen. Little did we all know this was the movie that launched the most profitable film franchise of all time. Come join Brian and Alec to look back at how it all started as they being their MCUathon with the genesis -- IRON MAN!
"TAKE ME HOME."One of 2025's most anticipated and successful movies of the year has finally come out on digital, and it's time for the gang to take a looksie. The Big Blue Boy Scout's first solo movie in twelve years has been a massive hit, but has proven somewhat divisive amongst fans. So, with a menagerie of different viewpoints looking at it, what do we think this time around? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they revisit the film that has the general public believing in DC again -- James Gunn's SUPERMAN!
HERO OR SIDEKICK?As we all know, the 2000's were something of a renaissance when it came to superhero adaptations, all culminating with the golden age that started with The Avengers in 2012. What many people didn't often discuss were the myriad of satires and pastiches that appeared around then that had no clue how ahead of their time they would be. From Kirkman's Invincible to Mazin's Superhero Movie, lots of different things were already taking tropes we knew of and turning them on their heads. In 2005, Disney sought to do the same on a family-friendly level. While it may not have been a smash hit, it certainly left an impact on a lot of us. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they revisit a childhood classic (that may be more messed up than they remember) -- SKY HIGH!
IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK. 2020 was a strange time. We all stayed in our homes. Brian and Alec were doing a different show. And movies were struggling to find new ways to get made. One blooming subgenre, Screenlife, was poised by producer Timur Bekmambetov over the years as the evolution of found footage. With lockdown seemingly indefinite, he was tasked by Universal to prove that this subgenre had enough mileage in it to navigate this unforeseeable future. The resulting film was so historically awful that it came out five years later on Amazon prime after just six days of marketing. Oh boy. Come join Brian, Alec, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at what many consider to be one of the worst films in recent memory, Amazon's WAR OF THE WORLDS!
"THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!" Time and again in recent years, Sony Animation has proven to be the bright spot at Sony Pictures. Ever since Into the Spider-Verse, they've taken bold risks and received great reward in turn, and this film has been no exception. Ever since its release nearly two months ago, the story of HUNTR/X has had a chokehold on people, quickly becoming one of Netflix's most-watched films of all time. So, what do we think of it? Tune in to find out as Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) lead Brian and Alec through their first viewing of this year's most popular animated film -- KPOP DEMON HUNTERS!
"THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME STRONG." After James Gunn took control of DC and after The Flash basically killed it it for everyone, a few stragglers trailed behind that were in between cinematic universes. One of these was a silver screen adaptation of Blue Beetle, and many didn't know what to think of it when going in. While the film has had its fiar share of detractors, it has proven to be one of the very few bright spots of the previous era, with pushes being made to include it in the DCU going forward. So, how does it hold up? Come join Brian, Alec, and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) to find out as they take a look at the elusive actually good DC film, Angel Manuel Soto's BLUE BEETLE!
DANCE WITH THE DEVIL. Ryan Coogler has been one of the hottest names in the directing world for the past decade, and for the first time since his freshman outing, he has released a wholly original film. Sinners has been hailed as an instant-classic since its release in April, and it's time for us to dive in. So, come join Alec and Brian as they take a look at what many consider to be the best film of 2025 thus far, Ryan Coogler's SINNERS!
"SAY THAT AGAIN..." After Rise of the Silver Surfer failed to captivate audiences, future plans with the 00's iteration of Marvel's First Family fizzled out. Thus, Josh Trank was brought on board to reboot the franchise with a more modern and serious edge. What resulted was what many consider to be one of the worst comic book films of all time. Oh, boy. Before you see First Steps this weekend, come join Brian, Alec, Darby (@gwenstacying), and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at the travesty that is Josh Trank's FANT4STIC!
"I'M GONNA NEED THERAPY." Kevin Feige's full attempt at making the first good movie about Marvel's First Family releases in one week, so it's time to look back at prior attempts. The 00's were not kind to most comic book characters when it came to movies, and the F4 were no exception. While many remain nostalgic for these films, even going as far as saying nothing can top their cast, they boast a whole lot of issues that were the style at the time, and it's time to dig into each and every one. So, come join Brian, Alec, and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they take a look at the goofy, derivative, and bizarrely misogynistic (to the point of Jessica Alba nearly quitting acting) FANTASTIC FOUR and FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER!
THIS MOVIE IS OUR KRYPTONITE. For many years after Superman IV, WB had struggled to get a new take on the Man of Steel off the ground. From Tim Burton's Superman Lives to J.J. Abrams' Superman: Flyby, nothing seemed to stick. It was only at the tail-end of the latter's existence that they decided to make a "direct" sequel to Superman II, with everyone recast and still taking place in modern day. What resulted was a movie that felt like it was written with melatonin for ink. Somebody save us. Come join Brian and Alec as they wrap up the Supermanathon with the movie that very may well have caused the public to be bored with the big blue boy scout -- SUPERMAN RETURNS!
AKA CAVEMAN SUPERMAN: ORIGINS. After the ludicrously underwhelming Superman III, Christopher Reeve swore off the tights forever. However, a script for a fourth installment, one that would touch on topics he was passionate about, convinced him to give it another shot. What resulted was one of the most poorly-made and maligned comic book movies of all time. But we'd like to ask -- is it truly that bad? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they reach the end of the Christopher Reeve era with SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE!
THE BEGINNING OF BAD COMIC BOOK MOVIES! The troubled production of Superman II would only herald a beginning of wrong choices made with the character. Despite the success of the first two and what made them work, this film decided to shift gears and focus on the aspects not many people cared for. You know what they (Brian) say about bad DC movies. If you don't, come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue the Supermanathon with the first sign that comic book movies could suck -- SUPERMAN III!
