A workaholic (and slightly insane) scientist Andre invents the first teleportation machine (take that, Star Trek!). After a mishap with the family cat, he tests the machine on himself. Shockingly, it does not go according to plan!Add Andre's brother (who secretly loves Andre's wife) and the local Canadian

2025/10/10

Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing!Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice Cable as she is on the run from Arcane also. Nothing says romance like a bath in a murky swamp filled with alligators!

Last season, we did an in-depth review of Captain America (1990). Little did we know that Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Video would release the restored Director's Cut! Join us as we discuss the merits of this version of the film.New cult classic? Is this version great? Is this version good? Is the disliked original better than the director's vision?

2025/09/03

Join us as we look at the double-episode TV pilot of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1993-1997. While the plot is a little all-over-the-place in the pilot, we get to see what many would argue is the collectively best cast in the history of Superman, including Dean Cain (Superman), Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane), Lane Smith (Perry White), and John Shea (Lex Luthor).Look up!

Welcome back to the conclusion of the Christopher Reeve's Superman era! Not counting the horrid spiritual successor, Superman Returns, of course.Featuring the returning Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), this movie sees Superman take over the world! Not really, but Superman does try to force the end of the nuclear age, and what could go wrong with that?Plus, we get what could have been a really cool villain (Nuclear Man). And we almost got to see Bizarro, but his scenes were cut...

2025/08/07

And now for something completely different...While not well received by Superfandom, we argue that compared to many 1980s films, Superman III (1983) has aged like a fine wine. Where else can you get Richard Pryor as a mad scientist (of sorts), the prototype for Zach Snyder's Superman, the first (unofficial) Brainiac, and a rude Superman who throws beer nuts?Come join the fun with Superman III.

2025/07/28

Intended as a legacy sequel to Superman I and II, Superman returns to earth after abandoning the earth and a pregnant Lois for 5 years! Working under the assumption she still received the kiss of amnesia, you would think this would set up an interesting plot for a movie, but...not so much.Thankfully, this podcast is significantly shorter than the runtime of Superman Returns (2006)!

Welcome to the original Snyder Cut! Well, kind of....Released in 2006, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is a re-edited director's cut of Superman II (1980). In fact, the edits are so dramatic that it is like watching an entirely different movie.The back story is that Superman I and II were being filmed simultaneously, but prior to the completion of Superman II, the director (Richard Donner) was unceremoniously fired and replaced by Richard Lester, who completed the second movie.

2025/07/07

Join us as we dive into the classic Superman short films produced by Fleischer Studios. These 17 shorts were released between 1941 and 1943, and in these films, we get all kinds of wonderful 6-minute adventures (from mad scientists to off-brand Godzilla to Superman fighting the Nazis and their allies).Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's...classic wartime propaganda!

2025/06/23

Supergirl (1984) is the 4th film in the Superman film series set in the Christopher Reeve universe. This movie sees Supergirl run away from her misdeeds on her home planet and play private school girl on Earth. While you would think this premise combined with witches and warlocks would be box office gold, it didn't quite work out that way.Also, while Superman is absent from this film, we do get Jimmy Olson, Lucy Lane, and a Superman poster with Christopher Reeve's likeness!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's the Mole-Men!In Superman and the Mole-Men (1951), we join George Reeves' Superman as he confronts a small town that is not playing nice with their underground neighbors. Is it really a big deal that everything the little people touch glows in the dark? Or that they carry a mean looking vacuum cleaner?In the first Superman theatrical film (not including the serials), we are first exposed to the Superman we would later come to love in the Adventures of

Produced in 1993-94, this Mega Man OVA didn't see release until 2002! Why? Probably because it wasn't very good...Well, we watched it so you wouldn't have to. Join us as we discuss this three-episode OVA!

An OVA (original video animation) sequel to the popular NES games (Ninja Gaiden I and II), it is probably best that this film was never released in the United States.In this movie, we join our ninja protagonist, Ryu, as he helps manage a curio shop with his non-girlfriend, Irene. The action revolves around a villain named Ned, who claims to have cured cancer, but who really has grown creature ninjas for Dr. Bucky-wise.For those who haven't seen it, your gain is our pain.
