What if...Marvel had a GOOD animated show for once? Just saying, it's been a while. I think Spectacular Spider-Man was probably the last one. Oh no, wait, forgot about Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes. Ooh, and M.O.D.O.K.! Yeah, it's stop-motion but it still counts. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, What If...?. Scott's joined by Francisco Andrade to delight in the weird and wonderful world of The Watcher and all the universe's he observes. Which is a little creepy frankly. What if the universe is taking a shower?Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News -  01:43-23:51Origins, Cast, and Time Travel - 30:00Zombies, Morality, and Final Thoughts - 1:00:00

A great show based on Scott's favourite graphic novel? Wow! Is there anything that could make Scott's day even better? How about talking with the showrunner Eliza Clark? Yep, that'll do it! Scott and Eliza discuss their love of the original graphic novel, the changes made in the adaptation process, and how real world developments influenced the show. Also the new Sandman trailer because how could they not?Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 03:56-8:59Updating the Graphic Novel, American Infrastructure, and How Close Are We to the Apocalypse?: 10:00Shooting During the Pandemic, Trans Men, and Who Are You Without Your Oppressor?: 30:00

The kawaii is strong with this one! Scott is joined this week by the same guy he always goes to whenever anime comes up on this show, Mark Russell, to talk about Star Wars: Visions! And let me tell you, it's a goddamn wild ride from start to finish. I don't even know how to describe it frankly. One minute Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going all Jedi Rocks on us, the next Cream the Rabbit from Sonic is getting a lightsaber.

Everybody was kung fu fighting! Scott is joined by AP2HYC writer Dylan Fine to talk about a spectacular return to form for Marvel after the disappointment of Black Widow, Shang Chi. Prepare yourself for over an hour of Iron Fist comparisons, martial arts gushing, name mispronouncing, and Tony Leung simping!Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 04:46 - 21:18Cast, Backstory, and Siblings - 30:00Macguffin Hunt, The Action, and Final Thoughts - 1:00:00

200 episodes. What a wild ride! To celebrate, Scott is joined by two people who have helped make Podcapers grow and develop, Alex Mirabal and Mark Russell, to read the truly atrocious script for the Powerpuff Girls live action pilot. Hey, what else did you expect from this show? It's been a long road getting here, but we haven't done it alone.

Let's celebrate the release of a great Suicide Squad movie by looking back at a terrible Suicide Squad movie! What can I say, we're kinda masochistic here on Podcapers. Scott's joined by Jillian Diblasio to watch the first, but thankfully not last, outing of Task Force X, and hopefully shed some more light on why it utterly fails.Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode: News - 01:31-05:18Movie starts - 06:22

FUCKING FINALLY! It's not like we've been waiting for a good live action Suicide Squad for years now! And who better to join Scott in reviewing it than DC superfan, Alex Mira- wait, what? Alex isn't in this episode? Wow. Okay. Who is? Francisco Andrade? Alright then. They talk about the highs and- I'm sorry, it's just weird not having Alex in a DC related episode. I need time to process this.

AND I SAY! He-Man is back! The much anticipated Kevin Smith continuation is here and it's...good? Eh, kinda. Worth a watch I guess. Damn, just gave away the crux of the whole episode. Oh well, stick around and listen to Scott and Mark Russell talk about a show they watched based on another show they didn't.

There's never a bad time to talk about these kind of things, especially when you've got an actual, bona fide, smarty-pants™ on your podcast! Scott is joined this week by academic Elise Sandbach to talk about female representation in comics, the relationship comic creators have with their female audience, and other topics that are best explained by a Cis Man.

Well it's about damn time! The long awaited Black Widow prequel midquel standalone film is here. Was it worth the wait? Nope. Sorry Capers, this was a disappointing film. But does that make it a BAD film? Oddly enough, no. Scott is joined by Jillian Diblasio to talk about what should have been the easiest MCU film to get right, that turned out to maybe be it's weakest entry.Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 01:29-10:47Timeline, Going Off Grid, and Doing Nothing - 15:00Girly Things, Evil Stink, and Final Thoughts - 45:00

This episode is a perfect example of why two fantasy nerds should not be allowed in the same room together! Scott is joined once again by writer and artist Lyndon White to talk about the Kickstarter for his much anticipated graphic novel, Candles. At least, that's what they were SUPPOSED to talk about. Instead they keep wittering on about magic and D&D and Hobbits and crap, I dunno.Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 2:37-14:05Candles Progress, Influences, and Dark Kids Media - 15:00Framing, Candle’s Worldbuilding, and Fanbases - 45:00

When asked the question "Who run the world?", the philosopher known as Beyoncé famously retorted: "Girls". And like with most things, she was right. This week, Scott is joined by Amy and Ashling of the new YouTube channel Creating Women, to talk about their show, the many comics that inspired them, and even a little bit of Manga. Because why not at this point? Listen and Subscribe wherever you get your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 04:21-14:15What is Creating Women, Representation, and Formative Works - 15:00“Girl” things vs “Boy” things, CHIPs Collective, and Impact - 45:00

Bounty Hunting, Martial Arts, and Teddy Ruxpin, oh my! This week, Scott talks with Shequeta Smith about her amazing work on Rayven Choi, a multi-cultural story about loss, revenge, and representation. Hel, that doesn't even cover most of it. There's a lot to unpack this week, even if you forget about the whole "Let the Bat Eat the Cat" thing. Don't ask. Seriously.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. Also there's a sun eating monster in it. Scott is joined by Grant DeArmitt and Lane Lloyd to talk about their new comic "Hunt for the Solavore". They discuss their love of the weird, the joys of creating a universe, and the horrors of Keanu Reeves' English accent.

She's Bad. She's Back. She's...better than ever? Eh, kinda. Scott and Mark Russell review the latest live action movie Disney warmed up in the microwave and threw in our faces. But this one defies all expectations by being pretty good. But good enough to temper Scott's distaste of all things Disney? It remains to be seen!Listen and subscribe wherever you listen to Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News: 2:14-13:07Previous Live Action Dalmatians, Estella, and a Tragic Backstory - 15:00Runtime, Becoming Cruella, and Revenge - 40:00Emma Stone, Skirt Ex-Machina, and Final Thoughts - 1:10:00

They'll make anything a TV show these days. And rightly so because this show is awesome! At least, according to Scott. AP2HYC writer Omar Khalil has a slightly different opinion about Marvel's magnificent Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. Has Scott met his match? Or will Omar be verbally beaten into submission like everyone else who comes on this show. Eh.

Faster than a speeding hormone! More angsty than a Draco/Harry fanfic! It's...Super Teen™! Okay, the show is actually better than that. Like, WAY better. Scott, himself a pretty big fan of the comic, is joined by Invincible super-fan Andy Clift for one of the least pretentious deconstructions of the superhero genre ever! As in, the TV show Invincible. Not this episode of Podcapers.

It's a brand new day, it's a brand new era, and it's time for a brand new Marvel TV show! The much anticipated Falcon and the Winter Soldier is finally here, but does it hold up to the hype? That's for Scott and AP2HYC writer Kayleigh Clark to decide. They discuss the action, the drama, and of course, Daniel Bruhl's sick dance moves.

In an unprecedented boom of superhero films, still going strong after 10 years, one film has the courage to say "We can be utterly, utterly awful too!". Join Scott as he continues to torture Jillian Diblasio in an audio commentary of yet ANOTHER terrible movie, this time the recent piece of Melissa McCarthy dreck known as Thunder Force. It's about as watchable as you think it is, i.e. not at all.Listen & Subscribe wherever you listen to your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:News - 04:26-14:30Movie starts - 15:38

It's finally happened. Scott has run out of bad Disney films to rant about (at least for now)! So all that's left is...the good ones? Join Scott, Mark Russell, and Alex Mirabal for the very LAST Dirty Disney Dozen, where Scott has no choice but to begrudgingly compliment the studio he hates the most by listing their films that he thinks actually work. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and the emotional torment alone will kill him! Listen & Subscribe wherever you listen to your Podcasts!Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Rescuers Down Under - 05:00Treasure Planet - 15:30Great Mouse Detective - 26:20Hercules - 36:00Emperor’s New Groove - 45:33Mulan - 52:09Tangled - 1:04:39The Hunchback of Notre Dame - 1:15:37Tarzan - 1:24:14Atlantis: The Lost Empire - 1:31:45Zootopia - 1:41:53Lilo and Stitch - 1:46:21Meet the Robinsons - 1:53:41
