Godzilla: King of the Monsters, or Boston Strong (feat. Andy again)

In our first stab at Legendary's Monsterverse, we tackle 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which is really just a shiny American remake of Invasion of the Astro-Monster, Destroy All Monsters, and All Monsters Attack except there are no aliens dressed like a New Wave band and nuclear radiation is net positive for the environment. We've got our favorite Godzilla autist Andy from Those Good Old Fashioned Values back to talk all about our big favorite guy and why this movie isn't good. At least Nicole's home turf of Boston gets razed in the climax. Too bad you can't see much of it through all the CG snow/rain/fog. Brought to you by Murk-O-Vision!
*Yes, we'll go back and do Kong: Skull Island when we hit 2020 and COVID makes it so there were only three movies to talk about for the entire year.

Detective Pikachu, or Adult Baby Consent Machine

We discuss a pokemon movie that a lot of people where tricked into liking because it had cinematography and a cute little guy. Along the we cover the (mis)casting of Ryan Reynolds, the growing synergy between American and Japanese entertainment industries, adapting anime characters to live action, childhood memories, childhood atavism, Drake, Roger Ebert: Southern Gentleman, and much more in a free-ranging tall-grass episode with some of the weirdest and wildest bets yet recorded.

Hellboy (2019), or The Right Hand of Goon (feat. Graham)

In 2019 they rebooted Hellboy. Remember that? They rebooted Hellboy. They made a new Hellboy movie. With David Harbour! Remember him? The stranger things guy? No you don't. Be glad! They really messed this one up. The guy who made "The Descent" then nothing else for 15 years was in way over his head. The producers kept trying to make this a Marvel movie. They turned Hellboy into Butthead. All the gore is CGI. It was edited by a a young child with meat cleavers for hands. Eddie Meatcleaverhands (original character do not steal). You know the drill: It's a bad movie, we talk about it. Hey, at least Milla's looking pretty good.Graham's Twitter <- Click Here

Captains Marvel: The Twin Fakes

We open 2024 with a deluxe-sized double feature episode as we compare two titanic 2019 superhero releases: Captain Marvel and... Captain Marvel!? Ok, it's Shazam, but realheads know. If you don't, listen to this episode, and find out all about the Captains Marvel, phony pheminism, corporate cuckoldry, bad relatable teen writing, bad relatable grown woman writing, golden age comics, gay wizards, space goblins, and what happens when your endearing superheroic lead is light-bending black hole of negative charisma and so much more!

Spider-Man 2 (The Game), or Cookie Monster Symbiote [BONUS]

We're taking a little extended holiday break before we get back to our regularly scheduled programming (talking about capeshit movies). To tide you all over, Cole talked about Spider-Man 2 (the game) with Ty from Those Good Old Fashioned Values along with Gus and Charlie from Most Controversial in a Stu and Nicole-less episode.

Black Christmas, or The Pod is Coming from Inside the House (feat. Spencer)

Merry Christmas everyone (or Happy Holidays if you're on that liberal anti-Christmas bend)! It's the two year anniversary of the pod, and rather than wasting our time watching Deadpool 2 retrofitted into a PG-13 Christmas edit with Once Upon a Deadpool, we let our Patrons pick what our Christmas/anniversary episode would be about from a curated list of four movies. Beating out Cole's pick for Bon Voyage Charlie Brown by one vote was Stu's choice: 1974's groundbreaking proto-slasher Black Christmas, directed by A Christmas Story and Baby Geniuses 2: Superbabies auteur Bob Clark. To help us out, we're joined by Black Christmas podcasting expert and Those Good Old Fashioned Values/Get Cynical co-host Spencer.
