Mike & Matt’s X-Cellent Adventures – Episode 21: Legion (Season 3)

(Pretend you’re hearing this joke for the first time) After dusting off X-Cellent Adventures to review Deadpool & Wolverine, Mike & Matt just had to clean up some unfinished X-Men business. That’s right, it’s the third and final season of Legion!

We summarise the events so far, discuss THAT episode, the ending, David’s journey, the shrunken cast, Noah Hawley’s career and the X-Men franchise in general.

Mike & Matt’s X-Cellent Adventures – Episode 20: Deadpool & Wolverine

Hey remember when we brought our regular podcasting to a close 6 months ago by returning to the original X-Men movie? Well Disney decided to mine nostalgia for engagement too so we felt compelled to review their work.

Wolverine is back! Deadpool is in the MCU now! Cameos galore! A tribute to the Fox Marvel continuity! And yes, FULL SPOILERS on all of it.

The Reel World Podcasting Finale

The Detroit Pistons: Catch the Fever!

Nearly 8 years ago Mike & Matt dropped their first ever podcast reviewing X-Men. Since then Reel World podcasting grew and added more shows and hosts, but it’s now finally time to bring things to an end… of sorts.

We wouldn’t think of a more appropriate finale than to have the original hosts re-reviewing their first movie, and looking at how dramatically different superhero movies (and just blockbuster movies in general) have changed over the years.

Ben & Matt’s Marvellous Journey – Episode 43: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (aka The End)

Hey wait a minute, Guardians 3 wasn’t the first MCU project of 2023, and it’s not 2024 yet! Why is there a new episode of Marvellous Journey?

Well imaginary listener who is unrealistically invested on our sporadic podcast, the answer is we’re kiiiind of bringing the show to an end and decided to go out on a high note. We did still discuss the rest of the 2023 films and shows but in a lightning-round fashion.

So for probably the last time lets discuss the villains, the ending and who the final entries on the All-Marvel List are as our beloved space-faring scumbags wave farewell and James Gunn heads over to DC.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 7

BoJack’s turned his life around and has finally found happiness and we’re sure that won’t immediately implode causing him to lose everything and everyone near and dear to him. No way!

We debate if ‘The View from Halfway Down’ deserves its litany of plaudits, discuss how well they ‘landed the plane’ and wonder what the show might have looked like if they’d gotten two full seasons as originally planned.

Plus a whole portion on the Community movie, obviously!

Pantheon Plus: Ranking the Star Wars Movies

So it’s come to this. Jerome and Brian discuss the entire Star Wars franchise. They agree about some movies and passionately disagree about others.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 6

They released it in two parts, so we’re talkin’ about it in two parts. Deal with it!

BoJack is in rehab, Diane is in Chicago, Mr Peanutbutter is in hot water of his own making and Princess Carolyn is really not doing so well juggling work and her new child. Plus Todd’s complicated family dynamic is at least revealed.

Is the part one/part two thing ever called for? Would this have been better as two longer seasons or one truncated one? Was it even time to end the show at all? Let’s find out!

The Superhero Pantheon Series Finale

Five years is a long time, but in many ways it’s felt like a blip.

Jerome and Brian reflect on the podcast, superhero movies, and even the ending lines that come at the end of each podcast. It’s end of a long journey but also the start of a new one.
