The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 28-30

‘Doctor Strange’, ‘Make a Wish’ & ‘Attack of the Octobot’

Jerome and Brian discuss some strange episodes of Spider-man. It’s a new season with new characters and some emotional manipulation as a bonus. The ending of the third episode is quite a twist and must be heard to be believed.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 26-27

‘Shriek of the Vulture’ & ‘The Final Nightmare’

‘Enter the Punisher’, ‘Duel of the Hunters’ & Blade, the Vampire Hunter’

Jerome and Brian discuss more adventures in the Neogenic Nightmare season of Spider-man.

This week, Spider-Man becomes a Man-Spider as we get more horror imagery. We also get appearances from a more techy version of Punisher and a less cool version of Blade. No one ice skating uphill sadly.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 17-19

‘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.

The Superhero Pantheon: Morbius

So it’s come to this. Morbius finally came out. Sony threatened this film on su 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.

‘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?

The Superhero Pantheon: The Batman (Theatrical Review)

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 an unwelcome tease. Enjoy our nearly hour long discussion on one of the best modern superhero movies of these first couple years of the decade.
