One of the best parts of going out with a group of friends to see the latest superhero movies is the time spent afterwards, hanging out in front of the theater, dissecting and appreciating what we've just witnessed. Derrick and Perry capture that feeling in every episode, with a great mix of their personal takes on the subject films, what works and what doesn't, production history and trivia they've researched, and an overall love of the genre.

SBP Classic – The Bounce
Q: But what about you? Did you have any familiarity with Casey or did you just kind of come into this completely cold?
Kae explains they came to The Bounce cold, drawn by the art and story, and found the execution and themes worth unpacking.
SBP Classic – The Bounce
Q: So before we get started, why don't you go ahead and tell my listeners a little bit about yourself?

SCP #233 – Batman: Year One (2011)
Q: What's your relationship with Year One?
I read the Year One comic back in high school and reread it before the adaptation; I find it more Gordon Year One than Batman Year One, with Jim Gordon's arc driving the story and Bruce Wayne feeling a bit secondary.
