We've just watched ONE LAST KILL and... it was pretty good! What did y'all think?

ALSO: some jabber other MCU projects, STAR WARS, and why sometimes the best approach is simple: tell a good story and let the character do what they do best. No easter egg soup necessary.

Our friend DC Comics artist CHRISTOPHER JONES returns for a wide-ranging comic book conversation that starts with the strange logic of superhero storytelling and eventually circles back to one of our favorite recent topics: SUPERMAN (2025). Along the way we get into awkward sidekick tropes, why all-ages comics still matter, and what makes Superman’s moral core so enduring.

ALSO: LANTERNS, THE BATMAN PART II, SPIDER-MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, and the broader challenge of making comic book worlds feel emotionally grounded without sanding off everything that makes them weird.

Three years ago, when we first started doing this show, Brendan admitted that he'd never seen BATMAN v SUPERMAN. Well, our brothers and sisters in nerddom... now he has.

Chad requested that we review the Ultimate Edition, because he believes it is a better movie than the theatrical cut... for whatever that's worth.

So what do you think of this movie? Good? Bad? Somewhere in-between?

By popular demand, we have rewatched Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL. And yes, we have notes

Watch this episode on YouTube:

We both have a LOT to say about MAN OF STEEL because we care about the character of Superman so much... and of course, because this film has been such a remarkably divisive force in the fandom AND the industry ever since it came out.

What do YOU think?

This week, P-Saps dive into Tim Burton’s BATMAN (1989). We revisit the movie’s cultural earthquake—how it reshaped the superhero genre, influenced blockbuster marketing, and gave us a darker Gotham than audiences had ever seen.

We unpack Michael Keaton’s unlikely casting and why it works, Jack Nicholson’s show-stealing Joker, Danny Elfman’s now-iconic score, and the film’s role in paving the way for modern superhero epics. Along the way, we share personal memories of first encounters with the movie, highlight its strengths and quirks, and reflect on how Burton’s gothic style still stands apart decades later.
