The Superhero Pantheon: ‘The Marvel Carousel’

Jerome and Brian now discuss the ups and downs of the MCU from Phase 4 into the current Phase 5. Some agreements, some disagreements but overall both seem to agree that Marvel has had more misses than hits recently.

The Superhero Pantheon: The DC Carousel

Jerome and Brian hop on the DC Carousel to discuss the following movies briefly: Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle.

The Superhero Pantheon: The Batman (Rewatch)

Jerome and Brian take out their vengeance on all of the DC movies this decade by reviewing one of the two good ones (the other will be discussed briefly in two weeks). Is this indeed the fifth Batman worthy enough for the Pantheon? Also, why has 1995 been so influential on this character?

The Superhero Pantheon: Zack Snyder’s Justice League

Jerome swore they would never discuss this movie in full, but with the end of the Superhero Pantheon in sight, consider this a gift to Brian.

Can this movie overcome all odds and make it into the Pantheon? Has Jerome joined the Snyderverse?

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Shin Godzilla

It’s the grand finale of Creature Feature month and what better way to end than with a Godzilla movie! Jerome is not the biggest Godzilla fan and Brian could probably teach a class on it.

Many people have talked about Shin Godzilla since it came out in 2016 and is very different than the tone of the Monsterverse. The editing is fantastic and the dialogue sounds like an Aaron Sorkin movie. This is really a Godzilla movie!?

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Deep Rising

It’s time for a Creature that neither Brian or Jerome had seen. We talked about Stephen Sommers earlier in the year when discussing The Mummy, but before that he directed a lesser known monster movie that has a killer cast.

Shades of Jaws, mixed with Predator with a little hint of Tremors, and you get Deep Rising. Does the 1998 CGI hold up? Well, at least the script does.

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Tremors

Brian has seen this movie probably 50 times. Jerome has not. Did Jerome miss out on an underrated cult classic from 1990 or is Brian completely out to lunch and loves a movie that is total trash?

At the time Kevin Bacon regretted taking the role despite the fun he had making it, however the cult status of the film has led him to change his view and now sees it as his favorite movie that he’s made. Will Brian and Jerome agree? This may make or break Creature Feature month.

Ranking the Jordan Peele Films

Jordan Peele is one of the last people out there making original movies that are designed to entertain large audiences. As I am writing this in the summer of 2022, I am genuinely struggling to think of anyone else who is not somehow caught up in the IP Slop trap but who is also crafting mass appeal pictures. It is quite depressing, but he’s great at least.
