  • Good hangout vibes

    This podcast is one of my new favorites. 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SCP #231 – Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)
Q: What were you thinking about as you were watching this film?
Stacy notes that the movie felt surprisingly topical, especially in its immigration angle and Clark's exploration of identity. He highlights the rapid origin beats as a strength and a weakness—solid practical storytelling but some elements feel rushed or speed-run in service of fitting into the Tomorrowverse. He also comments on the ensemble cast and the balance between familiar dynamics and fresh interpretations.
SBP #4 - Green Lantern: Blackest Night
Q: What did you think of the portrayal of characters such as Firestorm?
I thought it was well done, and I became invested in the dynamics of Jason and Jen's relationship, making me care for their fate.
SBP #4 - Green Lantern: Blackest Night
Q: What do you think of the multicolored Lantern core concept?
I enjoy it, but it would have been better if there had been more context provided about each core's significance.
SBP #1 – Amalgam Comics
Q: What do you want to see if Marvel and DC do another Amalgam project?
I would love to see what new characters and takes on characters could arise from a modern iteration of Amalgam.
SBP #1 – Amalgam Comics
Q: What is your history with Marvel vs. DC or the Amalgam Comics?
I discovered Amalgam Comics before Marvel vs. DC. I found one of the trade paperbacks in the library and was drawn in by it.
