Returning guests Nic and Dani Baldwin are back for a discussion of Will Smith and Charlize Theron's first brusth with superhero cinema—2008's mostly forgotten Hancock. What looked like a fun parody of the superhero concept ended up becoming something far more generic, and we'll break down the good and bad of it all.

Listen to Nic and Dani on the In Love With Movies podcast.

In light of the recent election, I have some thoughts I'd like to share.

The Marvels (2023)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 21:00:00 +0000

We're back! Apologies for the long delay, but new episodes are ready to go. In this episode, Alex Marcus of The Pop Break returns to discuss The Marvels, the MCU's unfairly maligned follow-up to Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. We go through what we loved about it, the places where it fell short, and what we think it might mean for the future of the MCU.

Listen to Alex on The Pop Break podcasts. And follow him on Bluesky and Letterboxd.

M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was considered a disappointment when it was released, but that's because no one really knew that it was supposed to be a superhero movie. Bruce Alexander joins Perry to look back on this film and what it could have been if it were better marketed.

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

For the next two months, I’m taking a break from the show to catch up on recordings and get some work done on my comic book project. So I’m giving you a glimpse into the past with SCP Classic, featuring replays of past episodes influenced by recent releases.

Hey guys! I'm excited to introduce my new comic book project, PARAGONS OF EARTH! This is a superhero comic where we've reinvented forgotten public domain characters for the modern day and pitted them against the cosmic horror of a Lovecraftian apocalypse.

Introducing SCP Classic

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 15:01:00 +0000

I'm going to be taking a break from the show for about two months. I'm going on vacation with my family and working on an exciting new comic book project called PARAGONS OF EARTH with Thomas Deja and Eric Johns.

So until the show comes back, I'm going to be rebroadcasting several past episodes as part of what I'm calling SCP Classic. These are all from when Derrick was still with us and each episode was chosen because of a connection to a movie or TV show that came out recently.

Hope you enjoy this blast to the past and I'll talk to you again in November.
