It's Persepolis! This is a good one. It's not your standard CBM fare but it was based on a comic and by jove does it tick all the right boxes. We both agreed that it's good as well which is a real rarity for us as you'll have heard over many, many episodes. There's so many layers to it too and I highly recommend that you watch it and see what you'll take from it. There's the story of a woman oppressed, there's the questions it raises over religion vs state, there's the East v West elements...

It's Ghost World! I boldly predicted that there would be a Five Star movie amongst these 2000 movies. Before we watched Ghost World, we hadn't found one yet. Now that we have watched Ghost World, we still haven't found one. It's a shame. I think there's a lot going for this - more than Madge who hated it - but it doesn't quite deliver on the early promise. Oh well. I guess we'll just have to keep watching movies until we find a Five Star Comic Book Movie if such a thing even exists. It's...

It's 30 Days of Night! Our naughties-fest continues with Is It A Bird's first real foray into horror movies/comics. We weren't scared or owt because it's honestly not even that scary. It's one of those ones where it's more about the macabre and violence than trying to leave you sleepless for days on end. To be honest, watching it actually made us so sleepy that we watched it in two parts. '30 Days of Night' actually ended up being more like 'Half a Movie and 8 Hours in a Night'. That isn't...

It's Josie and the Pussycats! It's a cult movie apparently. Not even a typo. People genuinely think this is good in some way. That's churlish. It's not bad really. It's not particularly good but there's a lot of charm to this movie and I can imagine that those who were there at the time watching it, all the way back in 2001, had a real good time. Glory days really. We had no idea what was coming over the course of the next two decades. Arguably, 2001 was where we peaked therefore making...

It's Zack Snyder's Justice League! And it's the same movie! It's the same movie but with more stuff left in and a ton of stuff slowed right down so you really feel that four hour viewing time. I find that really arrogant by the way. Why can't you just respect the art of editing? Plus! The order of this episode is switched a bit so Part 2 is really Part 1 and Part 1 is really Part 2. Thankfully we didn't record any additional parts that have no relevance to the rest of the episode and...

It's Josstice League! And it sucks! But you already knew that didn't you. This is not a review of Zack Snyder's Justice League because that hasn't been released yet. This is a review of the version that was completed by Joss Whedon with, I don't doubt, no little interference from studio heads. You can say what you like about Joss Whedon - literally, it seems like he deserves it. You can also say what you like about Warner Bros. - again, seems fair enough. And, you can say that the 2017...

It's Wonder Woman! Imagine wanting to watch Captain America: The First Avenger but you hate World War 2 and you're not a fan of world building. If that appeals then this might just be the movie for you. It's a harsh assessment of a movie which is pretty groundbreaking in terms of a female led comic book movies. However, I personally find this a pretty dull affair. On both occasions we have watched this, it's been a struggle to stay awake. I also don't feel like Patty Jenkins is that good...

It's Suicide Squad! "What are we? Some kind of Suicide Squad?" Yes Will Smith, you are. You're a long way from Bel-Air now. You're in a mad gang with Donna off Neighbours and the man from that Spartacus show with all the willys in it. You know what else? It's not bad - and I actually mean that. The first time I saw it, I hated it. This time round, actually thought it was half decent. Maybe it's because we watched it off the back of Man of Steel and BvS, maybe because it's aged better than...

It's Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice! Set your faces to anger Snyder-Fans because this "film" gets a pasting. Perhaps the speech marks are a little cruel there because there are certainly people in this who "act". I've only gone and done it again haven't I. It's just hard you see because there's very few redeeming aspects of Batman v Superman. The plot doesn't make sense, the reason for conflict is non-existent, the antagonist is completely unthreatening (and may as well not be...

It's Man of Steel! It's also completely rubbish. We weren't really paid by Marvel to give this movie a bad review. We would gladly do it for free. And we did basically. It's actually some of the most fun we've had recording because this whole movie is so utterly ridiculous and crap from start to finish that you can't help but have a bit of a laugh. We apologise to all of Australia though for our impressions of Russel Crowe and the Space Strayans of Space Straya. Plus! Kris reads out some...

It's Into The Spider-Verse! And it's very, very good. You already know that though because how could you not, right? I will go on about this at length in the episode but when I first saw this movie, it blew my mind. Visually, it's like nothing else I'd ever seen. As Madge points out, it looks like a comic come to life but it doesn't look cheap or hackneyed. Very interested to see what they do with the sequel to this one but it's Sony so... you know... Plus! We tell you all about the...

It's The Amazing Spider-Man 2! And it's bad! There was a point where I was watching it and I thought to myself: "how come I thought this was bad? So far it seems pretty good..." But, then the bit with his parents started and I remembered exactly why I thought it was bad. Because it is bad. So bad. I really feel for Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone to be honest. Plus! Did you know that Gwen Stacy dies at the end of this film? Well she does and if you're reading this before you've watched it...

It's The Amazing Spider-Man! Maybe it's more average than 'Amazing' but it's better than Spider-Man 3, in fairness. Madge actually rates it above every Spider-nerd's favourite: Spider-Man 2. It's not that she's looking for the controversial take, she just doesn't care about your feelings or opinions. That's what she says, anyway. It does sometimes look like she's enjoying saying it. Plus! Have you ever heard of the 'Clone Saga'? Of course you have but did you know it was awful? Of course...

It's Spider-Man 3! And it is the worst! Gonna cry? Why yes I am Tobey. I'm going to cry if I ever have to watch this repulsive movie again. Perhaps I'm going overboard but the flag! and the dancing! but especially the flag! They do MJ dirty in this too. She's reduced to a shell of the screaming kidnap victim she was in the first two movies. Now she's a screaming kidnap victim *and* a nag. Plus! We investigate why Spider-Man 4 didn't happen and why Sony decided to reboot the franchise...

It's Spider-Man 2! Look. It's fine. At the time it was probably the best comic book movie made to that point. It's just that since its release we've had a number of better movies. But, you've got to start somewhere so I guess in many ways, this movie is the grandfather of all modern comic book movies and for that it deserves great praise. However, not everything has aged like a fine wine and Tobey Maguire is still a terrible Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Lucky all of us for getting to maybe see...

It's Spider-Man! And what a disappointment it is. That won't be a popular opinion and neither will some of the things we say during the episode. However, it looks terrible, the dialogue is terrible and its poorly acted so we're completely justified in our assertions. That's all Part 1 which we had to record twice because the audio was lost. Shame that too because there was some good stuff in there and real enthusiasm which you'll now miss out on. Plus! Was one of Spider-Man's creators...

It's The Rocketeer! Quite literally one of the best movies we've watched. Kris boldly proclaimed some weeks ago that this is one of his favourite movies and for once he was not made to look stupid. Not by the movie anyway. The things he says on this podcast are still very much his own words and you, dear listener, can be the judge. Plus! We look into some alternate casting choices, how the movie differs from the comic and how Disney messed up with the promotion of the movie. The comic is,...

It's Buck Rodgers! And you will not find a single reference to that Feeder song anywhere in this episode. That's a good thing too because the movie/tv pilot/first two episodes of the first season are and is a good time. We both enjoy this one and heartily recommend that you seek it out. There's robots, boobies, spaceships and ray guns. What's not to like? Plus! We take a look at how Buck was such a hit in the UK that he kicked off the slow decline towards the cancellation of Doctor Who....

It's Dick Tracy! I'm so sorry but I have nothing nice to say about this movie. Madge was slightly more positive but that's only because it stars Madonna who is one of her favourite all time people. I can see why because Madonna is actually good in this and outshines some serious acting talent - Al Pacino for example who is hitting at least an eleven on the 'shouting instead of acting' scale. Plus! Have you ever wondered why there wasn't another Dick Tracy movie? The original made money so...

It's The Phantom! This movie exists in the sweet spot of not being bad, bordering on fun but being completely and utterly forgettable. I genuinely can't even remember which movie we're talking about now. I can, of course. It's 1996's The Phantom. Plus! Someone apparently wrote a script - AS A JOKE - that wasn't meant to be made with a bad ending. Allegedly, most of that is in this movie. Listen to find out our thoughts on it. Particularly Madge's because she didn't know this clever fact...
