Ep 214: The DCEU - A Trip Down Memory Lane

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 08:58:48 -0400

It's been almost 10 years since Warner Bros and DC Comics decided to get in on the shared cinematic universe game. Starting with Man of Steel, the DCEU as we knew it was born and sought to mimic the MCU in both quality and success. Unfortunately, the world originally created for DC by Zack Snyder seems to be coming to an end with rumors of The Flash movie rewriting the future of the DCEU. Before that happens, let us look back at the 11 films to come out under that banner, and see where the whole thing went wrong!

Ascender, the 18 issue sequel to the amazing Descender series has wrapped up, but was it a satisfying conclusion? Set 10 years after the end of Descenders, the galaxy as we know it has changed.

Even worse there is a witch named Mother pulling the strings behind the scenes for her own nefarious purposes. How do the two books connect? Where is Tim-21? These questions and more will be answered in this spoiler-filled review of Ascender!

The bell has been rung. The fight has been won.
After four years of campaigns, hashtags, and reshoots, Zack Snyder's original vision for the Justice League is here, but is it an improvement on the original? Coming in just a bit over four hours of content, there is a lot to discuss when it comes to an unshackled Snyder in regards to the DCEU. What direction will DC go in now? Should Snyder get another bite of the proverbial apple? When will we #ReleaseTheHotDogCut? Some of those questions and more will be answered as we enter what could be our last time in the Snyderverse.

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 09:53:02 -0400

In this retrospective, we take a deep look at Nick Spencer's take on the Sentinel of Liberty and why Sam's turn with the shield was met with so much controversy.

Ep 144: For The PODCAST That Has Everything (Black Mercy Retrospective)

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 16:04:01 -0300

When Alan Moore first wrote "For The Man Who Has Everything", for Superman Annual #11 he set out to tell a story that explored the Man of Steel's deepest desires. Still considered one of the best single issue stories of all time, the duo behind Watchmen churned out an instant classic that had ripple effects on the comic book medium. Almost 20 years later, the story has been adapted in animation, has had its elements replicated in live-action, and just as recently as the year 2020 has spawned a comic sequel of sorts. Join us as we discuss that Superman issue, its adaptation on both Justice League Unlimited and Supergirl, and the two-part Justice League story Garden of Evil in this ode to all things Black Mercy!

Ep 143: The Joker 80th Anniversary Comic Review!

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:04:59 -0300

Quite possibly the most popular supervillain in comic book history, The Joker has managed to stay relevant and on the tongues of fans for 80 years. During that time he has adapted and evolved as different creative teams do their best to make their version of the Clown Prince of Crime memorable. DC’s has chosen to commemorate those 8 decades of the dastardly degenerate with a 100-page Super Spectacular, giving the best and brightest artists and writers a shot at celebrating the Harlequin of Hate. In this deep look at the Joker we see why he’s managed to stick around so long, and discuss what makes the sick clown tick in this episode of the Major Issues Podcast.

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 09:23:33 -0300

In 2014, a film was released that changed the way we think of comic book movies, raccoons, and cassette players. That film was James Gunn's Guardians Of The Galaxy and with it's release came an awesome amount of heart, humor, and heroics from a team most knew nothing about! Over half a decade later Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket, Drax, and Gamora are household names sharing screen time with Iron Man and the Mad Titan Thanos himself. Join the Don as he's joined by Peter Melnick, self-professed Star-Lord Superfan and cohost of The Marvelists podcast. Peter has some great insights, manages to compare the franchise to another space fairing juggernaut, and had a grand ol' time recounting this beloved film from memory!
