Superheroes, Movies & Superhero Movies – Episode 093 – Predator [1987]

It’s hard to imagine a time before Predator. Predators (and the xenomorphs from Alien) have been such a big part of pop culture for most of Justin and John’s lives that it’s hard to think of a world without these crazy creatures. Growing up there were the movies, the video games, the action figures, and eventually, the crossover movies! But this movie was the first to introduce the world to the Predator. And who better to face off against him than Arnold Schwarzenegger? What do you think of Predator? Let us know!

Superheroes, Movies & Superhero Movies – Episode 092 – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 [2014]

In 2014, we saw the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone returning and bringing villains Electro and Rhino to the big screen for the first time. Director Marc Webb also returned and the movie was met with a less than stellar reception. In fact, it would be the last Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movie before Tom Holland took the reigns. What do you think of the Spidey sequel? Not as bad as everyone says or deserves to be forgotten? Let us know what you think!

Superheroes, Movies & Superhero Movies – Episode 90 – Suicide Squad [2016]

Following Batman v Superman, we were introduced to the Suicide Squad, a team of bad guys coerced into saving the day! Written and directed by David Ayer, it was met with about the same reception as Batman v Superman, and people have really strong opinions on Jared Leto’s portrayal of the Joker. This also marks the first live action portrayal of Harley Quinn (although Dr. Harleen Quinzel was portrayed on Birds of Prey back in 2002). Along for the ride is Deadshot, played by Will Smith, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, Diablo, Katana kand Killer Croc! What do you think of Suicide Squad?

Superheroes, Movies & Superhero Movies – Episode 087 – Zack Snyder’s Justice League [2021]

The wait is finally over. The theatrical version of Justice League made its way into theaters in November of 2017, now here we are in March of 2021 finally able to see Zack Snyder’s original vision of the film. Some said it would never happen, that a cut didn’t exist. Well, here we are. So, was it worth the wait? Was Darkseid as awesome as he looked in the trailer? Should WB restore the Snyderverse? Or should this version of the movie never have seen the light of day? Check out the episode to hear what the guys think!

Superheroes, Movies & Superhero Movies – Episode 085 – Superman III [1983]

Along with Return of the Jedi, 1983 brought us another part 3 that is… well, not as widely loved. Christopher Reeve returns as the Man of Steel, but gone are Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder (mostly), and really anything that made the first two movies so darn great. But we do get Superman fighting Clark Kent, and maybe the closest thing to a big-screen Brainiac that we’ve seen so far. What do you think of Superman III?
