Batch and Logan are here to discuss the biggest movie of 2019 (sorry Rise of Skywalker)….but before they get to that, they talk all about Shazam! They detail the history, the Geoff Johns run, and of course, the new movie. And still before they get to fifing all overthat yuge flick, they talk about some comics. And how much Batch loves Doom Patrol. And then the boys congratulate past guest of the show Chip Zdarksy on his Will Eisner nomination. And then Batch lays into Tom King for damn good reasons. Oh and they do some Google Voice (708-232-3182). And then….ENDGAME.
Take caution, there are plenty of spoilers within. So don’t go saying you weren’t warned, you fucking cocksucker.
Chad C gets all super hero-y again for JUSTICE LEAGUE and considers crying by himself in a theater for WONDER. Which is better? What should you see? How many nude scenes in each? All (none) of these questions are answered inside your computer right now. Or your phone. Or whatever. Shut up.
On this week’s Small Screen Heroes, Batch is joined by the returning Adam Bunch! The 2 Whovians (big nerds) have a spoiler filled recap of episode 1 “The Pilot” and episode 2 “Smile” of the new 10th season of Doctor Who. With this being Peter Capaldi’s final season as the doctor, there is a lot of speculation about who will replace him. So we give our predictions and speculate what will happen for the rest of the season. Also, are we totally sure that Nate Peterson isn’t really the doctor’s new companion Nardole?
We also cover Titan publishing’s new Doctor Who line of comics and the total radness of the big finish radio play that’s featured in all the classic docs reprising their roles and telling untold stories with full production values.
The crossover event entitled “The Button” has started and we cover parts 1 and 2 in the new issue of The Flash and Batman and break down how it’s going to effect the DCU in the months to come.
Somewhere Jack is yelling this is bullshit.
And finally we do a quick review of the new DC animated movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, there is a update on the goings on on Marvels Secret empire event with evil Hydra Captain America making his move and we address the recent controversy Marvel had with X-men Gold number one and the subliminal art messages the artist tried to sneak in.
Are you excited about Doctor Who returning? Are you fuming like Jack Valley that Batman got his ass royally kicked by the reverse Flash?
Happy 2017 party people,
Small Screen Heroes has a very special year in review show for you. I had to recruit the one and only Binge timestamper and biggest Spiderman fanboy I know, Logan Fowler, to recap what is awesome and what sucked babadick this year in terms of comic based properties.
From the awesome of Deadpool to the dumpster juice that is Batman vs Superman, this was a banner year for comic movies. The inner geek in me is happy we can actually have a Suicide Squad movie, or that Doctor Strange, of all characters, can not only carry a movie but also be a pivotal part of Marvel film universe. We also saw Spiderman come back huge as part of Civil War.
Looking forward, 2017 sees the return of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Justice League and Thor kicking ass with Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok. Plus, Hugh Jackman goes full tilt berserker like we all have wanted to see him in Logan, the film based off the classic old man Logan storyline from Wolverine.
Also on this week’s show, we cover the huge first two issues of Justice League Vs Suicide Squad events. SPOILERS. I fill Logan in on what’s been going on in the Spiderman: Dead No More storyline with the return of everyone’s favorite Spiderman clone Ben Reilly. The Timestamping Wonder also gives us his review of the Nintendo Mini Classic in some gaming talk we couldn’t fit in on the last gamecast.
I’d like to take a second to mention some good that actually did happen in 2016. You guys have helped Small Screen Heroes be a thing at Binge Media, and as we continue to carve out our own niche here, I’d like to thank everyone who’s come on this show to shoot the shit and geek out with me last year. I promise, 2017 will be even more nerdier, more rantier and, well, I challenge Garrett to come on this show and tell me how terrible everything is. Maybe Smallville talk will tempt him.
The mother of all crossovers is here and gone and Small Screen is here to give you the what whats and Whos Whos on what the hell went down in the 3 parter. Batch is joined by cub reporter Denny Luis and Batch drops Batch Bombs galore on the Flash, Arrow and Legends of tomorrow episodes.
In breaking news, the new Spiderman movie teaser trailer made its way online and people are losing their shit about 30 seconds of footage so Batch is joined by Jack Falvey and they speculate on where the real trailer is going and then mark out all over the new Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 trailer.
Lastly its that time of year so the boys reflect on their fave Christmas specials, the infamous Star Wars christmas special and their favorite christmas flicks and try to come to terms with what exactly makes a movie that has Christmas in it a Christmas movie or not a Christmas movie, in the first of what i’m sure will be many discussions about holiday flicks on Binge Media.
On this episode of Small Screen Heroes, I enlist my Binge GameCast brethren Jack and Kupka to talk some Doctor Strange and how it adds a new dimension (pun intended) to the Marvel film verse. We now have seen 4 of the 5 Infinity stones in Marvel films, and that Infinity gauntlet is coming soon.
We then segue into Marvel TV with the announcement of the new Inhumans series coming to ABC and if it will lay on the foundation that Agents of Shield has introduced.
The 4 part crossover of the DC/CW-verse is quickly approaching, and I’m excited. Kupka and Jack could give 2 shits.
Wrapping up the episode, I give a quick little spotlight of the classic 80s DC character, The Vigilante, as he has now made his way onto the 5th season of Arrow. Adrian Chace was a very tragic character in the late 80s DC universe and his arc was really something you didn’t see a lot of in books at that time. Plagued by guilt and madness, whether what he was doing was right or wrong, what could have been a one dimensional Punisher knock off went the opposite way. As he struggles to fight his destiny, then seeing it swallow him whole, it really hit me hard. It’s definitely a book not many people know about and doesn’t get the acclaim it should, so it’s very cool it’s making its way in some small measure to TV.
Welcome to our 400th podcast! It’s hard to believe we remember how to do this each and every week let alone 400 times. Let’s celebrate with Law, MovieFreak, and BingeCast rookie, Batch.
TV Round-Up goes deep inside The Walking Dead, Project Greenlight, Homeland, You’re the Worst, Fargo, Daredevil, Gotham, Flash, and more. Moreno and Kupka call in from The Other Other Wedding, completely shitfaced and supka’d.
Somewhere in there we get on the topic of how the film version of Marvel’s CIVIL WAR is going to pull off what the book did with only a handful of characters.
We all get yelled at during Google Voice which is a good thing, we need that kind of punishment once in a while.
What Did You Watch rocks out with TALES OF HALLOWEEN, GOODNIGHT MOMMY, BEASTS OF NO NATION. THE GIFT, MISSISSIPPI GRIND, and more.
Finally, we take a look at Movie Homework. The original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is a weird movie that makes you feel happy-go-lucky while watching a woman get raped by a tree.
Stay tuned this week because our commentaries are back with the new season of Fargo!
