The Incomparable

243 Superman (2025)

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.

242 Ironheart ep 4-6

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.

241 Ironheart ep 1-3

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?

240 Biff Begins

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.

239 Superhero Dustbin

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.

238 Captain America: Brave New World

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. Amid highened international tensions President Ross is keeping a dark secret you couldn’t have guessed unless you’d seen the poster on the way into the cinema.

237 The Incredible Hulk (2008)

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? Find out as we go back in the archives to cover the unlikely prequel to Captain America: Brave New World.

236 From Superman to Spider-Noir

We’re back with another Giant Sized Superhero Sweep. On the docket this week is the new trailer for Superman, Peacemaker seaon 2, Ironheart, and Spider-Noir. It’s chock full of superheroes!

235 New Avengers: The Sentry

We didn’t forget about Comic Books so this week we’re doing a Book Club. We cover the run of New Avengers that reintroduces The Sentry to the Marvel comic universe. A celebrated comic run of a hero lost to all history and then remembered and reborn.

234 Daredevil: Born Again ep 9

Daredevil: Born Again wraps up this week with a whole lot more fight, fight, fight than you might expect from a guy who just got shot in the chest. Matt is crushed as Fisk’s plan to consolidate power in the city comes to a head. With the help of an old friend or two he comes to grips with the new reality and buckles down for what’s going to be an even bigger fight to come.

In our Superhero Sweep segment we cover the latest trailer for The Fanstatic Four: First Steps! They look like big ones!
