The First Appearance of Guy Gardner! 1:07:25

22 hours ago1:07:25

1:07:25

We loved him in Superman and we're excited to see him in Peacemaker season 2, but where does the Green Lantern Guy Gardner come from? This week we read his first appearance in Green Lantern #59 and... it's not quite what we expected. And he's not the Guy Gardner we know and love. But he does fight giant robots. Before that: there's a whole bunch of news, including a look at the Punisher's Battle Van in Spider-Man: Brand New Day , Zach Cregger's spec script DC Universe movie and why Superman is on PVOD as you listen to this episode. To skip this go to 35:47. Next week: It's the first episode of Peacemaker season 2. We'll see you there!…

EYES OF WAKANDA 1:47:56

9 days ago1:47:56

1:47:56

Take a magical history tour with the War Dogs of Wakanda as they leave their homeland to retrieve vibranium and tech that has escaped their borders. These four episodes span thousands of years and have gorgeous animation... but are they actually any good? Your hosts may disagree on this subject. In the intro: wow, that new Spider-Man suit looks great! There's a Fantastic Four sequel coming even though the film's second weekend was a bust? And just why does everybody care so much about Mephisto anyway? If you don't care about that skip right to 49:07. Want your question read on the show? Email us at ask.cinema.sangha@gmail.com and put the name of the show on which you want your question answered in the subject line. One question per email, but as many emails as you like!

The First Appearance of Lex Luthor! 1:26:36

16 days ago1:26:36

1:26:36

He's Superman's greatest foe, and Action Comics #23 is where he first appears. You can tell there was no grand plan for this guy, since they kill him at the end of the story. But still, the key elements of Lex are there, even if he does have a head of hair and wears a weird robe. Also: does this story feature proto-Kryptonite? Before that we have some news including Fantastic Four: First Steps box office, Marvel cutting costs, the full reveal of the history of metahumans mural from Superman and more. Plus: your questions! This week we discuss what we want to have happen to our stuff when we die. Next week: all four episodes of Eyes of Wakanda . See you then!…

The First Appearances of Galactus And The Silver Surfer! 2:11:07

23 days ago2:11:07

2:11:07

With Fantastic Four: First Steps opening tomorrow we decided to go back and look at the stories that inspired the latest MCU film - Fantastic Four #48, 49 and 50. These stories see the debuts of the Silver Surfer and Galactus, as well as... Johnny Storm going to college? Let me tell you, the structure of these comics is pretty odd. But they're one of the pinnacles of the legendary Jack Kirby/Stan Lee run. Before that we have a ton of news, and as of this recording there isn't even anything big coming out of San Diego Comic-Con! Kevin Feige spills the beans about an MCU reset, a Booster Gold pilot is being written, there's a new Wonder Woman movie and more. If you don't care about this skip to 47:22. This weekend we will have Fantastic Four: First Steps on Watch Men, so make sure y ou're subscribed to our Patreon at the $5 level to get it! You'll also gain access to our Superman episode and an incredible back catalog of episodes. Thanks for listening. See you next week!…

The First Appearance of Franklin Richards! 1:45:50

30 days ago1:45:50

1:45:50

It's a boy! In Fantastic Four Annual #6 Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue, is born. We're reading this comic this week because Franklin's gonna be showing up in this month's Fantastic Four: First Steps , but I hope his role is bigger than what we get in this annual. One thing this annual does give us is the first appearance of Annihilus, great Jack Kirby art and a plethora of old comic book ads. Before that: listeners keep trying to get Derek to talk about the Snyderverse, I see Superman for a second time, and what can the new Supergirl poster tell us about next year's DCU entry? All this and more, but if you don't care just skip to 43:03. Want to hear us talk about Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes out? Want to hear our three and a half hour conversation about Superman ? Simply go to the Patreon and become a $5 or above member and you'll get our monthly superhero deep dive podcast, Watch Men! Next week: the first appearances of the Silver Surfer and Galactus! We're reading Fantastic Four #49-50. See you then!…

The First Appearance of Krypto! 1:17:32

5 weeks ago1:17:32

1:17:32

In the upcoming movie Superman Krypto the Superdog is a very naughty boy indeed, and it turns out that's quite canonical, dating all the way back to his first appearance in Adventure Comics #210. Also in this issue: a story where Aquaman has to use sea creatures as a printing press. Before that: I may have discovered a loophole for superheroes' no killing policy, we discuss whether there's too much James Gunn and Derek has already seen Superman but is keeping his lips sealed until the next episode of Watch Men. Which you can get if you're a $5 or above member at the Patreon ! Next week: the birth of Franklin Richards in Fantastic Four Annual 6!…

IRONHEART: Episodes 4, 5 & 6 3:13:36

6 weeks ago3:13:36

3:13:36

What about that ending? We definitely argue about it for quite some time. A lot happens in these episodes, and new doors are opened in the MCU... but will anyone ever walk through them? Is it better to hope or to expect the worst? And does it take longer between sequels these days? Before that we have some news and we answer your questions, which leads us to wonder: what is a comic book crossover? Is it only between individual books? Does an overarching event with tie-ins count? And what's the worst one anyway? If you don't care about this skip right to 47:43. Next week: the first appearance of Krypto! Adventure Comics #210, which is available on the DC app but be warned: simply searching for the title won't serve it up to you. You have to search for the exact issue number. See you then!…

IRONHEART: Episodes 1, 2 & 3 2:37:12

7 weeks ago2:37:12

2:37:12

Spinning off from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and based on the comic character of the same name, Ironheart has sat on the shelf for some time. But why? Is it bad? Is it surprisingly good? Is it aggressively fine? The answer lies within this episode. Before that: The Thing has a beard in the Fantastic Four movie, we answer your questions and I step on Derek's intro for the first time ever. Next week it's the back half of Ironheart, which should up the supernatural element in big ways. Will the show stick the landing better than Riri does in the opening of the premiere episode? Find out with us!…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Epilogue" 1:04:26

8 weeks ago1:04:26

1:04:26

And so the Cadmus arc comes to an end... but is it with a bang or a whimper? It's certainly an undeniably odd episode, and your mileage may vary. One thing I'll say for this one: it lets us know that Bruce Wayne leaves his DNA all over town. Before that we have some news and a letter that claims Derek sounds like Robert Downey Jr. What do you think about that? Let us know. Next week: the first three episodes of Ironheart . See you then!…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Divided We Fall" 1:18:23

9 weeks ago1:18:23

1:18:23

The finale of the Cadmus Saga is upon us as the original seven of the Justice League take on the combined Luthor/Brainiac creature. Will they be able to save the world? Will they remember they have superpowers in time? This is the episode that almost has the guts to kill off The Flash. Before that: your hosts did a little protesting this weekend. Plus: I get cranky about film journalists, Derek loves a H.E.R.B.I.E ad and James Gunn says stuff. And your questions get answered! If you don't care about that stuff skip to 43:47! Next week: our last Justice League Unlimited episode for now, as we watch the Epilogue ! After that it's Ironheart ! Thanks for listening.…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Panic in the Sky" 1:23:04

9 weeks ago1:23:04

1:23:04

The Cadmus saga continues on as the Evil Superfriends attack the JLA Watchtower and Batman refuses to turn himself in to the authorities. Supergirl's clone has daddy issues, Steel gets his butt whupped and Bwana Beast runs by in the background. All of this leads to a big reveal of who the true villain of the story is. Before that, I leave stuff behind in the desert, Derek finishes us Cobra Kai while I watch Karate Kid Part II , and our questions segment gives us a chance to talk about MIssion: Impossible: The Final Reckoning . All this and more in the intro, but if you don't care about it simply skip to 42:57 to get to the meat of the episode. Remember, if you want your question answered on the show, send an email to ask.cinema.sangha@gmail.com . Put the name of which show on which you want your letter read in the subject line! Thanks for listening, see you next week for Divided We Fall .…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Flashpoint" 1:52:58

11 weeks ago1:52:58

1:52:58

Jeez, Superman's a real jerk in these episodes, and his behavior is not getting any better. Picking up from where last week left off, this ep sees the Justice League Watchtower shooting a huge fusion beam at... an American city? Seems bad, even if J'onn J'onnz insists "It wasn't me." Before that we go long, and I mean long , on Cobra Kai . Again. I'm almost done binging the show so I promise this won't go on forever. There's some news and then we take our sweet time with the questions this week. Tangents abound, and Derek roasts me good. If you don't care about any of this skip to 1:13:42. I said we went long! Next week: Panic in the Sky . The evil plan against the JLU is picking up steam, can Luthor and his gang of random villains break the Justice League? Thanks for listening!…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Question Authority" 1:40:29

12 weeks ago1:40:29

1:40:29

This week the seemingly sometimes smelly Question gets himself into hot water when he decides to kill Lex Luthor. Also, he's sleeping with Huntress? What the...? Also: Superman is a jerk! And Aztek the Ultimate Man makes a cameo! Plus I give the wrong sign-off! Before that: we have some sad news about the loss of a comic book legend. The next two Avengers get delayed. And we answer questions, one of which leads to like a 20 minute tangent. If you don't care about this stuff, you can skip right to 58:23. Next week: Justice League Unlimited , Flashpoint .…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "Task Force X" 1:46:00

1:46:00

This week the Suicide Squad, err sorry, Task Force X as this is a cartoon, breaks into the Justice League's Watchtower Satellite and do battle with a real collection of Morts (we explain that reference on the show). How does this tie into the Cadmus Saga? And can you just tear the Martian Manhunter in half??? Before that: letters! News! Rumors! And Derek makes the argument that casting news is... a spoiler? Don't ask me, I just work here. If you don't care about any of this stuff skip to 57:32. Next week: Justice League Unlimited season 2, episode 9, Question Authority !…

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: "The Doomsday Sanction" 1:33:53

14 weeks ago1:33:53

1:33:53

We got a few weeks before Ironheart starts up so we're dipping over to the DC Universe to check out Justice League Unlimited . We'll be covering "The Cadmus Saga," starting with this episode where Batman harasses Amanda Waller. Also: why is Ice just hanging out when a volcano is erupting? Is that guy Dirk the Daring from Dragon's Lair (and do I call it Dragon Quest on the show?)? Derek gets deep on lore and we wonder why Doomsday can't break out of some hardened magma. We will return next week with the next chapter: "Task Force X"!…

The First Appearance of The Thunderbolts 1:29:18

16 weeks ago1:29:18

1:29:18

With the next MCU movie about to hit theaters we thought it would be a good time to read the first appearance of the team that is coming to the screen, The Thunderbolts. Or rather the team that is not coming to the screen, since the original T-Bolts have just about nothing to do with the characters in Thunderbolts*. That's okay, because the buzz on that movie is good, and we'll always have the OG group. They made their first appearance smack dab in the middle of a Hulk storyline, and knowing the big reveal of Thunderbolts #1 - this team is not a bunch of superheroes but rather the Masters of Evil in disguise and running a long con - it's shocking how obvious the truth is when looking back at this comic. These guys seem like obvious villains! But everybody was fooled. Before that we have some news, and you get a chance to hear me get the name of every comic creator I talk about wrong. Like, totally wrong, I keep wanting to credit Mark Waid with everything ever written. It's a mess, and thankfully Derek knows his stuff and can correct me. There will be no Marvelvision next week! We're taking the week off because we will have two episodes of The Bad Batch and a new Marvelvision that week, and we just don't have the energy or time to do four shows. What will we do when we come back? We're going to be watching the Cadmus Arc from Justice League Unlimited. Where do we start? I'll let Derek figure that out - I'll send out a little post about it in the days ahead. Thanks for listening! See you next time.…

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Straight To Hell" 2:22:56

17 weeks ago2:22:56

2:22:56

The first season of Born Again comes to a close - does the finale work? Considering we are Netflix Daredevil haters turned Disney+ Daredevil lovers will we be satisfied with how things are wrapped up? And did Jon Bernthal come back to the show only after a change was made that kinda ruins the Punisher? All of this and more is discussed on the show. Before that we talk yet again about the unsmiling Superman, we discuss an eternally underrated X book and we reminisce about getting mugged in New York City back in the day. Next week: We'll be reading the first appearance of the Thunderbolts in Incredible Hulk Vol 2 #449. And coming soon: our Watch Men episode about the next MCU film, Thunderbolts*!…

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Isle of Joy" 1:53:36

18 weeks ago1:53:36

1:53:36

Matt's kind of a jerk this week, but he also does a big heroism so maybe the scales balance. Should he tell Heather his secret? Could you really kill a dude by spitting a tooth at his eye? This week's episode goes all Creepshow in a very fun way. Before that: some movie talk, the experience of seeing the Fantastic Four trailer and the Superman extended scene back to back on the big screen and audience questions I can barely answer. Next week: the season finale!…

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Art For Art's Sake" 1:49:18

19 weeks ago1:49:18

1:49:18

The Muse storyline comes to a big end this week in an episode that feels like it's got a couple of weird logic gaps. Still, we're really enjoying this show, a total shocker to us. Of course the last few weeks have all been using the OG version of the season, before major reshoots - next week begins the two episodes that are completely new. Will it still be for us? Before that: why release an extended sequence where Superman is all beat up the whole time? Is A Minecraft Movie saving cinema as we know it? And will Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom get-up look as crummy as the image on his birthday party invitation? Thanks for listening! See you next week.…

This week we have a bottle episode where Matt gets tangled up in a bank robbery hostage situation and we get the episode where Daredevil finally returns. Was it worth the wait? Will we ever see Matt having dinner with the Khans? And does Muse have powers or what? Before that: gym influencer Joey Swoll! Will Doomsday end with a white screen, a la Crisis on Infinite Earths ? Will Spider-Man ever grow up? And who is the villain anyway? The Kelce Brothers of movie podcasting answer all these and more! Thanks for listening.…

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for this news bulletin: Today Marvel held a very strange (and very successful) event to announce the cast of Avengers: Doomsday , which is shooting right now. There are a bunch of names you might expect and there are a few left field characters showing up, but maybe the most intriguing aspect is who is not going to be in this movie. We discuss it all! Plus, we kind of get distracted by talking about The Studio , the new Seth Rogen show on AppleTV+.…

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Sic Semper Systema" 1:27:11

1:27:11

Frank's back, folks. And he's the maintenance man. This week on Daredevil still no costumes but the drama and character stuff is simply terrific, plus we get two renditions of a Jefferson Starship classic. Before that we have some news, including the rumor that Kevin Feige is feeling iffy on the Russos after Electric State and that the fourth Spidey movie may be adapting Spider Island, a storyline where everybody in New York City gets Spider-Man powers. Is that a good idea? Eh. We just published the latest episode of Watch Men, where we talk about the Josh Trank Fantastic Four .

Will Secret Wars have the Hulk holding up a mountain? Should you film elder abuse and not do anything about it? And could there be a multiversal Mary Jane in Spider-Man 4 ? We discuss all of this and more before diving into this week's Daredevil Born Again . Which, for the record, we liked! It's an all-trial episode as Matt Murdock tries to keep White Tiger out of the clink, but courtroom shenanigans make a mess of everything, and that's before Matt does something to really make the judge angry. Thanks for listening, see you next week!…

The Man Without Fear is back, and we're covering the first two episodes of his new Disney+ show. Which, by the way, offers absolutely no information for folks who may have not watched the original Netflix Daredevil. Thankfully you have us, who half-remember some stuff from the first two seasons. Speaking of us, this is a special episode - we're together in person! Derek flew to LA for the weekend and we took a road trip, but first we recorded this. That's why the sound is a bit off this week. Also, there are a couple of visual moments, and if you'd love to see them in action, simply head over to the Patreon or our YouTube channel . Next week we'll have the next episode, for which I am hopeful, Derek less so. What do you think of the show so far? Come join our Discord - for Patreon subscribers only - and tell us!…

The first season of this alt-universe MCU Spidey show comes to a close with a huge surprising reveal about Spider-Man's origin, a visit from symbiotes and the Scorpion getting his face smashed in. The first act is over and the stage is set for season two, and we can't wait. Before that: Grand Theft Hamlet , the V miniseries and a whole buncha news this week. And by the way, stick around at the end of the show because we go pretty far afield after the recap is over. Just letting you know! We're off next week but we will return in two weeks with the first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again .…

2:20:06

It gets real in this trio of episodes, as the traditionally kind of lame villain Scorpion proves a bit much for a young version of Spider-Man. When we say we gasped... Also: Brave New World gets the worst MCU Cinemascore, they may have a Dick Ryder ready for the Nova show and there's cursing in a promo for Superman . If you want to hear us talking about Captain America: Brave New World join the Patreon ! Subscribers at the $5 and above levels get access to Watch Men, our monthly superhero deep dive podcast. BTW: If you get to the part of the episode where we start talking about Max's The Pitt and you don't watch The Pitt ... you can just turn it off. That's the end of the show but we do go a teeny bit long there. See you next week for the conclusion of season one of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man !…

They're tossing a whole bunch of Spidey at us each week, but at least the show is good! This new take on young Spider-Man is having a blast playing with Marvel Comics lore and using real bottom of the barrel villains like Speed Demon and Unicorn. But Doc Ock waits in the wings, so maybe Spidey will be facing a real threat soon. Before that: the Super Bowl! There's a new Thunderbolts* trailer, but nothing for Superman . Does that show weakness on the part of WB or am I talking out my butt? Next week: three more episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man !…
