Ep. 163 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Fantastic Four (Batman Begins vs. The Amazing Spider-Man)

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.

Ep. 142 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Tomorrowland (Batman vs. John Carter)

For TOMORROWLAND, we look at former animated film directors making the leap to big budget live action properties with Tim Burton's very successful BATMAN going up against Andrew Stanton's box office disaster JOHN CARTER. Hopefully with his new expensive summer film, Brad Bird continues to carry over his success from MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. GUEST: Josh Dotson from the podcast PROJECTING FILM helps us project the fortunes of TOMORROWLAND and warns of the peril of Bat-Dancing breaking out again.
