Biff! Superhero TV and movies

Things are starting to heat up for Simon and Trevor as they find themselves embroiled in some classic misunderstanding hijinx. It’s out of the frying pan and into the audition for our mismatched thespian pals as we cover episodes 5 and 6 of Marvel’s Wonder Man. Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we have a chat about the upcoming Spider-Noir starring none other than Nick Cage himself. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Simon is back and this time he’s off to Pacoima for his mother’s birthday party with Trevor in tow. We cover another couple of episodes of Marvel’s Wonder Man show which continues to make strong choices and is really opening doors for some terrific actors. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The entire run of Marvel’s new Wonder Man show dropped all at once but like conscientious casting directors we’re going to work through them all slowly and give each the time it deserves. This week we’re coving the first two episodes which introduce us to our hero, Simon Williams, and his shady new mentor Trevor Slattery. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

What we assume is the first rash of trailers for the upcoming Doomsday Marvel Mega Event has just dropped so we’re on the case like Plastic Man.

Up up and away to the bars amoung the stars! A teaser trailer for Supergirl was recently released and Team Biff is here to chat about it. We also get into some superhero sweep and try to remember how to do the show. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The Peacemaker gang is back and after having saved the world last season they’re doing about as well as you’d expect. Not great. This week we discuss season two of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Can his pechant for dancing on a knive’s edge pay off again? Or will we end up with Mirror Universe Gunn? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

It’s a spooky special edition of Biff! where we venture forth into a world of zombies and superheroes. In a four episode animated adventure we follow a rag tag band of survivors as they try to find a cure for the zombie plague that has engulfed their world. So, you know, pretty standard fare. Is there meat on these bones? Read along to find out what we think. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

On this episode we pull a bit of a Time Travelling Dad and jump way back thousands of years to learn the stories of some Wakanda’s famous War Dogs. From the Sea Peoples to the 20th century each episode takes a slice of history and explores through the eyes of a Wakandan agent out to keep the secret and power of vibranium from falling into the wrong hands. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

When a gang of misfits find themselves at the bottom of a deep hole they learn to support each other so they can all climb out. Also, they’re all dealing mental health issues but I’m pretty sure that’s metaphorically unrelated. We’re back with Bucky, Yolena, Mad Cap, and super-friends for Thunderbolts*! A Marvel movie with a message of mutual love and care in the face of an all consuming dark void. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Forth time’s a charm? The Fantastic Four are back on the big screen and they’re better than ever! We’re off to the lovely universe of Earth-828.

Pop this episode into your face-tape-player and join us for a cosmic ride full of heart. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

You’ll believe a man can be good. Superman is back, Lois! And this time he’s not Space Jesus. He’s a good man trying to do the best he can in a world more complicated than this hero was created to address. Still, he perseveres and inspires others to do their best too. This version of Superman isn’t without flaws. Neither in the character nor the film. But, gosh, is it sincere. Can’t get much more punk than sincerity. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Meet us down at the crossroads but put yourself in a circle of salt first because we’re coving the last three episodes of Ironheart. An intriguing show that you’d thnik whould puts magic up against technology but, instead, goes full Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with it. It even adds a bit of spice in the charming form of Sacha Baron Cohen. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

A little late due to travel and holiday plans but we’re here with our coverage of the first three episode of Marvel’s Ironheart. We pick up with Riri Williams at MIT and things go off the rails from there as she finds herself embroiled in a life of “fun crime with whacky characters” which, it turns out, isn’t all fun and games. There’s some interesting themes brewing under the sufrace here, some highs and lows, and we’re prompted to ask the question—is Han Solo a weenie? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Batman Begins has turned twenty years old so we chat about how superhero movies have changed over that time. We end up dipping into self-indulgent origin stories for our friendships. Then we cover a couple of recent trailers for Ironheart and Superman. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

In an episode that gets dangerously close to the three of us just shooting the breeze we cover some Superhero News that’s been floating around. Casting news for Vision Quest, Eyes of Wakanda, and Black Panther 3. We glue it all together inexpertly by calling out to every other random entertainment fact we can think of. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Sam Wilson is back as Captain America with his trusty sidekick Joaquin Torres a.k.a The Falcon. It’s up to them to go rogue and tie up plotlines littered all over the MCU by movies they had nothing to do with.

In Marvel’s second modern attempt at a Hulk movie our big green guy is back played by a different actor and with a decidedly different aesthetic. Is this HULK a smash hit?
