Jerome and Brian are taking a few weeks to discuss the wonders of Christmas through the eyes of some of your favorite TV shows.

This week, they discuss some animated episodes: Batman: The Animated Series‘ ‘Christmas with the Joker’, Futurama‘s ‘Xmas Story’ & ‘A Tale of Two Santas’ and South Park‘s ‘Woodland Critter Christmas’

The Matt Signal: RIP Kevin Conroy

66 is too young to lose anyone. But there is simply no age at which it would have been acceptable to lose Kevin Conroy.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 64-65

‘I Really, Really Hate Clones’ & ‘Farewell, Spider-Man’

Jerome and Brian are back to discuss the final two episodes of the mid-90s Spider-Man. Despite the lack of enjoyment for much of the season, there is a lot to like in this final two parter with all the clones. Enjoy the final discussion of Spider-Man for quite some time.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 59-63

‘Return of Hydro-Man’ & ‘Secret Wars’

Jerome and Brian discuss five more episodes, including the return of Hydro-Man and the first version of Secret Wars put on screen. Find out the truth behind Mary Jane and why a three parter should have been five parter. One more episode after this as Jerome and Brian cap off their months long journey.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 56-58

‘Secrets of the Six’, ‘The Six Fight Again’ & ‘The Price of Heroism’

Jerome and Brian are back to continue the season five slog. They discuss the return of the Insidious Six and the debut of the forgotten warriors (who let’s face it, probably should have stayed that way).

A very short episode but we’ll be back next week with a lot more to say because there are some revelations and some SECRET WARS!

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 53-55

‘The Wedding’, ‘Six Forgotten Warriors’ & ‘Unclaimed Legacy’

Jerome and Brian begin their discussion of the final season of the mid-90s Spider-Man animated series.

Look, things are weird but at least there’s no fairy tale episode. Peter Parker’s parents might be Russian spies. Also, there’s two episodes featuring Scorpion. Kingpin is a highlight at least.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 51-52

‘The Lizard King’ & ‘The Prowler’

On the 99th episode of Superhero Pantheon for The Reel World, Jerome and Brian discuss a disappointing finish to season four.

There’s lizards aplenty and a new villain. Also, what influence did Tarantino potentially have on the finale?

The Top 30 Episodes of Batman the Animated Series (Part II: 15-1)

Batman the Animated Series celebrated its 30^th anniversary this last week, so at the suggestion of smarter people who work on this site than me, it’s time for a more explicit ranking of the Top 30 episodes of the show, concluding with 15-1.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 48-50

‘The Vampire Queen’, ‘The Return of the Green Goblin’ & ‘The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson’

Bye Felicia! Sadly, Felicia Hardy/Black Cat is leaving the show, but not before being featured in a banger of an episode. An overall excellent slate of episodes this week as Jerome and Brian near the end of the fourth season.

The Superhero Pantheon – Spider-Man ’94: Episodes 45-47

‘The Return of Kraven’, ‘Partners’ & ‘The Awakening’

Jerome and Brian discuss what may be the most confusing set of episodes yet, but at least there’s some romance to keep everyone entertained. Sadly, like with live action, Morbius ruins everything (and no Morbin times jokes were made this week nor will they be made next week).
