Moon Knight has come to an end, for now at least.

The defining episode of Moon Knight and one of the best Marvel TV episodes to date. Tom has some high praise for the fifth episode of the show that offered a lot of background for Marc and Steven and some connections to the comics and the MCU. In this week's Watcher Tom goes into what he loved about the depressing episode, Asylum. Why it worked so well and how it probably means the finale is set to disappoint even though there are still some tantalising questions to be answered.

The Watcher returns with a double bill covering that insane twist from Episode 4 and much more. Tom gives an abridged recap of Episode 3 and then dives into the latest episode.

I Am Legend and you are too! A video pod filled with unlikely sequels, questionableTV series and some baffling decisions. Tom talks about a sequel to I Am Legend and the return of Poirot (again). A new Alien film, a director for Deadpool 3 and Warner Bros. moving all their DC films around in a possibly incompetent way. Talking trailers for Obi-Wan Kenobi along with some speculation, Bullet Train with lots of fun and The Boys Season 3 that features everything except Antony Starr beating up a chef. Finally a review for Pixar's latest Turning Red, what Tom thought of it, why there may be some pearl clutching and perhaps the most useless IMDB trivia we've ever had.

What is the greatest Christmas movie ever? Often debated but on the Pop Cult Pod Christmas special Tom tries to answer the question once and for all. It's full of stats and a little bit of Holiday heartbreak. More important to Tom though is that for 30 Christmases, Santa has never come but could this year be different? You'll just have to watch and find out, it's going to be a Very Culty Christmas. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from the Pop Cult Pod.

The penultimate episode of Hawkeye promised some big things, but did it deliver? Tom looks at the episode and why he was left wanting more from it.

Finally the Pop Cult Pod is back and Tom genuinely might have forgotten how to do this... Seriously. Yet he still remembers the point of the show breaking down the news like why Disney Plus Day was a bust, Patty Jenkins fighting with Lucasfilm and Tom Holland not being Spider-Man but he probably is.

The Watcher is here to talk about the third episode of Hawkeye which Tom says might be the best episode of Marvel television so far. Which featured an excellent origin story for Echo, a kick ass car chase and hint that we might be getting sweet Uncle Kingpin in the MCU.

For Halloween this year Tom is going a different direction. Straight to Forks, Washington to check out the Twilight Saga, a series he's never seen. Will a vampire romance for teenage girls hold the attention of a man of nearly 30? The answer may surprise you, or it won't, I don't know what you're thinking but you will hear what I think about the first Twilight.

For the final film in our Punisher series we look at Punisher: War Zone, the oft-forgotten, critically panned box office bomb... that is actually kind of awesome!

With this week's ReWatcher we delve into the crimes and punishment of 2004's The Punisher and Thomas Jane's return as Frank Castle in the short fan film, Dirty Laundry. It's certainly the most remembered one but is it the best? Tom talks about the superhero cinema boom of the early 2000's that helped bring the movie to life, the strangely elaborate plot (for the Punisher), the seemingly dangerous set that included a wrestler being stabbed, a potential Spider-Man 2 cameo and finally the bootleg film that gave Thomas Jane a chance to shine.

The ReWatcher returns and he's being punished worse than Frank Castle's foes by sitting through 1989's The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren. Tom goes into why there's been so many Punisher films despite the fact they've rarely been good or successful. He talks the baffling decision not to include the Punisher skull but the weird creative choice to make Dolph's face look like a skull... kinda. He also breaks down the ups and many downs of the film, that was probably better off forgotten. Have you ever seen The Punisher (1989), What did you think of it?

Loki Episode 1 had dropped and The Watcher returns as he is burdened with Glorious Purpose and that's to recap and review the first episode. To dive in and speculate wildly, probably about Mephisto again. Tom gives his thoughts on the pilot, what worked and what fell a bit short for him. Comes up with a new theory for Tom's Theory and rewinds a lot as he's clearly gotten a bit rusty and makes some mistakes. Remember it's Time Twister not Time Turner.

For the Final Fantastic Four ReWatcher, Tom looks at the notorious Fantastic Four reboot from 2015, also known as Fant4stic. Looking first at the behind the scenes drama which could probably be a video by itself. From Josh Trank hating on Kate Mara and trying to fight Miles Teller, to the controversy of a black Human Torch and the dreadful reshoots. Then we go into the film itself. Is it as bad as everyone says? Is this Body Horror (get used to that word) version of the Fantastic Four a decent idea that's poorly executed. Tom gives his thoughts on what works and what doesn't work in what is considered one of the worst superhero films of all time. Skip to 16:52 to get straight into the film and avoid the drama. What do you think of Fant4stic? Make sure to come back in June for Loki!

Often called the best Fantastic Four movie. Is that really saying much? Tom jumps into the Rise of the Silver Surfer. It's got a Galactus cloud, some more awkward Jessica Alba ogling and the besst Stan Lee cameo, maybe? We also go into Tim Story telling Jessica Alba to "cry pretty", the movie not knowing what to do with Doctor Doom and compare The Silver Surfer to Christian Bale's on-set meltdown. Next week we dive into the notorious Fan4stic (2015). Why not check it out and join the discussion? Have you seen Rise of the Silver Surfer? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Finally the Fantastic Four actually make it to the big screen and it's pretty... well, it's a movie. A pretty meh movie all things considered and Tom does consider all things. From the action and effects to the story, to the creepy unnecessary shots of Jessica Alba in her underwear and to the fact that the big action set piece is all their fault. It's the Fantastic Four you remember you just probably don't like it. How does Tom feel about it? Check out the ReWatcher right now and find out!

Tom looks at the Unreleased Fantastic Four Film from 1994. Which was made quickly, cheaply and then shelved. Jumping into the history of how Marvel's First Family ended up in the hands of a German film company, why the film came out like this, his thoughts on the film itself and finally why it was never released. It's a fascinating story if not a fantastic film. A very worth oddity to kick-off the ReWatcher, next week we continue our Fantastic Fridays with, Fantastic Four (2005). TIMECODES 2:05 - Production/History 8:45 - The Film itself - Review 38:20 - What Happened?

James Cameron might be the King of the World once again but Tom is the King of controversy. Diving into a new Superman that might be black to Space Jam 2, which is somehow the most controversial film ever. Why can't we just have a Lola Bunny as sexy as Elmer 'The Stud' Fudd?! Can I say that without getting Pepe Le Pew-ed? With the return of the One that I Watch we look at another long overdue sequel, Coming 2 America, not to be confused with Coming to America which you definitely be confused by if you are listening to a podcast. Was it worth the wait? Of course not. With this week's feature Tom dives into the last of the major streaming services, Paramount+. What is coming to the streamer, a lot reboots and remakes and adpatations to TV series but will they be any good? Of course not.

Years of campaigning and relentless complaining has finally lead to the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League this week but will it be worth the wait? Tom talks to Luke Barry and Aaron Cregan (Matt Skyler) about their thoughts on the SnyderCut which quickly becomes a conversation on how they feel the DCEU lost it's way, hopes for the future and eventually what they're looking forward to from the new cut of Justice League. It's a rollicking journey that ranges from Zack's pitch for Justice League 2 and 3, the success of DC outside of film and why it doesn't transfer over and how Kevin Smith stole Luke and Tom's podcast.
