V: THE ORIGINAL MINISERIES Episode 1

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/02/16

An authoritarian regime takes over, scapegoating a minority group, putting people on lists, disappearing folks from their homes and shooting people in the street. Enough current events: this week we're talking about V: The Original Miniseries, which aired on NBC way back in 1983. Reptile aliens from Sirius have come to Earth and they're bad news, even as they pretend to be the sweetest, cuddliest folks you could hope to meet. It's up to the Beastmaster and a ragtag crew of scientists to save ...

WONDER MAN Episodes 5-8

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/02/09

It's the back half of the MCU show that eschews action and superheroics for a Hollywood story about two unlikely friends. How successful that is might be debatable, though... or at least we debate it on this episode. Want to hear two middle aged brothers argue about Wonder Man? Do I have the podcast for you. Before that: Send Help! A terrible Dunkin' Donuts ad! The Super Bowl movie trailers! David Lynch! The career of George Clooney! And much more. If you don't care about that, skip to ...

WONDER MAN Episodes 1-4

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/02/02

You wanted something new from the MCU? I gotchu. This week we cover the first four episodes of the first season of Wonder Man, the whole series of which dropped on Disney+ last week. The Mandarin from Iron Man 3 has returned, and this time he's the mentor to struggling actor Simon Williams, who is hiding the fact that he has immense super powers. When the chance to be in the remake of 80s cheese classic Wonder Man comes up, Simon is all about it, but it turns out his new buddy may not be as t...

Andy Warhol Boards THE LOVE BOAT

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/01/26

In what is certainly one of the odder pop cultural moments of the 20th century famed artist Andy Warhol guest stars in the 200th episode of The Love Boat, a guest spot he requested! And if you're wondering whether Warhol is any good playing himself on a TV show, the answer is absolutely not and we wouldn't want it any other way. Before that: the Oscar noms! The trailer for Masters of the Universe! A probing question about the multiversal existence of Dan Aykroyd's Doctor Detroit! And so much ...

Fat Shaming Children on THE LOVE BOAT

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/01/19

On this week's episode of The Love Boat Captain Stubing is really not well behaved, but somehow Doc is. We have fewer real life tragedies than previous weeks, but not none! And Jimmy "JJ" Walker is dyn-o-mite as a ghost who is trying to get his widow laid. Plus: Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis play mother and daughter. Before that: The Bone Temple! Derek loves Eddington! George RR Martin complains about the TV shows that have made him rich! What's the weirdest legacy superhero characte...

Set Sail With A Very Special Episode of THE LOVE BOAT

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/01/12

This week's time killer is the second of three Love Boat episodes we'll be doing as we wait for Wonder Man. This time we are jumping to season five, episode fifteen or ten, depending on who you're asking, but PlutoTV has it as ten. In this one Doc gives a pianist drugs, there is a frank examination of mental health and we get a storyline about the trans experience that would kill a Republican at thirty paces. It's 1982 and the story feels so much more progressive than almost anything we get t...

All Aboard THE LOVE BOAT

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/01/06

This episode is a little delayed but look at that runtime! And no, it's not all The Love Boat, but there's plenty of that. On this episode of Across the Omniverse we watch a season one episode of the primetime broadcast anthology show from the 1970s, featuring guest stars like Bill Bixby and Milton Berle. We talk about what a creep Doc is, the weird way you can get from Bixby to the Trump administration, and how Charo overexposed herself into obscurity. Before that we have news, like the winn...

PLURIBUS Season 1

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/12/29

As we wait for our next weekly show to begin we take a moment to talk about the first season of Pluribus, the latest program from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Those are two of the best series ever - is Pluribus in the running? And will we get into a very lengthy argument over a nitpicky detail in the show's premise? The answer to both those questions is the same. Be aware, this is spoiler heavy! Before that: a Doomsday theory. Stranger Things. The Martin Supremacy. Dark a...

WATCHMEN Episode 9

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/12/22

It's the big finale as all the pieces come together and we get a real good look at Dr. Manhattan's third leg (speaking of big). Can this show do any wrong? Is Peteypedia canon? This week Derek doesn't have a lot to say because the show is just that good. Before that: we talk quite a bit about the finale of It: Welcome to Derry, so if you want to remain unspoiled skip to about the 29 minute mark. We also discuss the Avatar box office, new Wonder Man promo, the casting of Brainiac and a bunch...

WATCHMEN Episode 8

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/12/15

The secret behind Cal Abar is revealed as the episode skips through time to give us the full Dr. Manhattan experience. And you know what that means - arguing about how Dr. Manhattan sees time! Plus the return of the Ozymandias debate. And is this the first episode of Watchmen to whiff something? Before that: we find out about the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his wife in real time. There are four Doomsday trailers coming. And speaking of trailers, what about that Street Fighter one? We tel...

WATCHMEN Episode 7

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/12/08

This week the HBO show does some world building based on a throwaway concept from the original comic book as we see Angela's childhood in the 51st state, Vietnam. In the present day there's an elephant in the room and Laurie learns the bad guy plan and then someone gets a hammer to the forehead. Multiple times. Before that we discuss the Netflix show Dark Tourist, when a phone call is better than texting, who Scarlett Johansson might play in The Batman Part II and whether Weird Al is ra...

WATCHMEN Episode 6

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/12/01

Travel back to the 1930s as this episode of Watchmen rewrites the story of Hooded Justice, and it may just be the best retcon in history. We discuss the filmmaking on display, the changes to canon and what they mean and then we have a fierce argument about the geopolitical realities of the 1980s vis a vis the Cold War and threat of nuclear annihilation. Before that: Why Aaron Paul quit Invincible. Marty Supreme. Life in North Carolina. Kendrick Lamar's movie. Apt Pupil. And much more! I...

WATCHMEN Episode 5

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/11/24

During the recap and review portion of the show we talk about whether HBO's Watchmen is the pinnacle of the superhero/comic adaptation era, and what the criteria for such a thing would be. We also go long on Derek's deep dislike of Adrian Veidt, and whether it's entirely fair. What are the grey moral areas of the story, and is it so easy to just make a declaration about who is good and who is bad? Plus: does the Peteypedia critique Alan Moore? Before that: further adventures in unemployment. ...

WATCHMEN Episode 4

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/11/17

It's time to meet Lady Trieu and Lubeman, to enjoy some eggs, to investigate that big old clock and to figure out what color Bubastis was anyway. This week's episode is a little slower, but it's no less gripping as this masterful television show heads into its middle stretch. Before that: Derek has some bad news (which I learn about live on the show), we expand our news to cover non-superhero movies, and we talk about the fact that Batman should really know Spanish. Thanks for lis...

Untitled Episode

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/11/10

That big blue you-know-what makes its appearance this week as Laurie Blake enters the story. We discuss why you'd throw a coffin on a bomb, whether Adrian is supposed to be good at everything, and terrorist tome The Turner Diaries. Before that: who will Alan Ritchson play in the DCU? When can we expect Lanterns? And what did we think of Predator: Badlands and Pluribus? If you don't care about any of that skip to 44:47. Thanks for listening! See you next week.

2025/11/03

Judd is dead, but whodunnit? 105 year old man Will Reeves claims it was him, but Angela has her doubts. Meanwhile, Adrian makes his butler a little hot. And this week's TV includes the premiere of American Hero Story, complete with slomo ultraviolence. Before that: we keep enjoying It: Welcome to Derry, but Derek's not much of a Stephen King guy in general. David Harbour is having some trouble, and James Gunn is keeping his job. Plus: Absolute Wonder Woman and Batman beats up white supr...

WATCHMEN Episode 1

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/10/27

It's a whole new era! Marvelvision is gone! In its place - Across the Omniverse. To be honest it's pretty much the same thing, but we felt like it was time for a rebrand that would allow us to open up the boundaries of what we talk about on this show. Don't worry, it's the same bickering brothers you've tolerated all these years. This week begins a series where we do a rewatch of HBO's 2019 Watchmen, which might be the most important genre work of the 21st century. Learn the connection ...

MARVEL ZOMBIES

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/10/20

It's the biggest upset of the year - we both like this four episode spin-off of the miserable show What If...?. It's true, this one kinda nails it and does the sort of big comic book worldbuilding we want more of in the MCU, all while killing off a bunch of characters at every twist and turn. Before that: does the Punisher have a Robin? Derek mostly liked that Ed Gein show. Marv Wolfman writes the Teen Titans to be very very mean. And what's the dumbest story in the Bible? In the highly...

PEACEMAKER: "Full Nelson"

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/10/12

Season two - and the whole series - of Peacemaker comes to an end with an episode that features a number of montages, two concert performances and a cliffhanger ending that is supposed to be setting up the future of the DCU. But is it any good? Well.... Before that there's a bunch of news out of New York Comic-Con, we get to know the schedule for Marvelvision in 2026, there's a trailer for Wonder Man and we get to answer your questions, including one that allows me to boast about being on a m...

PEACEMAKER: "Like A Keith in the Night"

Across the Omniverse ·

2025/10/07

This episode is late! That's because, as you will hear in the recording, my internet was just going down and up the whole evening when we started recording. The episode is slightly jankier than usual, but I think it's tolerable. On Peacemaker we find out about Earth X's Auggie, a bunch of cops die, the two Vigilantes delight, Judomaster steals every scene he's in and things on the Nazi Earth come to a real head. We also discuss whether or not James Gunn blew it with this season's pacing...
