On this episode we talk superhero reboots on film with superhero film expert Matt Brown from the Super Zero podcast and the long running MAMO. We look at the best example of this tall but financially mandated task with Christopher Nolan's BATMAN BEGINS going up against the much loathed Marc Webb's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. But speaking of being loathed, my co-host Emily Mackay and I recorded our day one responses to the long hated (even before its release) Josh Trank's FANTASTIC FOUR.

In this episode we look at murder in paradise, more specifically the serial killer hunting children and being hunted himself by Tom Hardy in CHILD 44. This inspires a look back at the controversial rendering of paradise in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of THE LOVELY BONES vs. the troubling utopia portrayed in the more critically acclaimed film adaptation of NEVER LET ME GO. GUEST: None this week, but we really could have used the analysis of Dave from Pop Culture Case Study. You can correct that mistake by checking out his great podcast.
