A series of catastrophic technical SNAFUs threw this week's show into chaos! Josh Flanagan almost missed the show entirely, but a late night reconnection of his (and all of New England's) internet meant a late-night recording session for him and Conor Kilpatrick..,. and that small change to the routine threw our stalwart hosts just a little bit off their game this week.

The Superhero Show #638Fantastic Four: Daredevil's IntroductionThe Superhero Show — Daredevil's IntroductionThis week, The Superhero Show kicks off the second season of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with “And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them.” The season premiere immediately shakes things up: the Fantastic Four have lost their powers, Doctor Doom is once again coming after them, and a mysterious new ally steps in to help—the Man Without Fear himself, Daredevil.The hosts take a close look at Daredevil's Introduction, the team's surprising new status as powerless superheroes, the ways they attempt to adapt, and the major changes that make Season 2 feel noticeably different from what came before.Daredevil's Introduction: Meet the Man Without FearOne of the biggest highlights of the episode is, of course, Daredevil's Introduction.Matt Murdock first appears as a blind lawyer and friend of Alicia Masters before revealing himself as Daredevil. When Ben initially questions how someone who is blind could possibly help the Fantastic Four, Daredevil quickly proves that his heightened senses and abilities make him more than capable of navigating situations that would leave others helpless.The hosts discuss this version of Daredevil, including his personality, his fighting style, his interactions with the Fantastic Four, and how well he fits into the world of the show. They also talk about the fun of seeing another Marvel superhero dropped into a Fantastic Four story rather than simply appearing for a quick cameo.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Without Their PowersThe episode begins with the Fantastic Four dealing with the consequences of Doctor Doom's previous attack. Radiation from the explosion has disabled their powers, leaving Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben suddenly unable to rely on the abilities that have defined them.The hosts discuss how interesting it is to see the team forced to operate without their usual advantages.Reed has to turn to science to develop artificial ways of recreating their abilities, while Johnny and Sue use technological substitutes for their powers. Ben, meanwhile, is presented with the most complicated decision of all: without his powers, he's no longer The Thing—and he actually enjoys being human again.The hosts explore how each member adapts differently and whether losing their powers makes them more interesting as characters.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Find New Ways to FightWithout their powers, the Fantastic Four have to get creative.Reed develops equipment designed to replicate their abilities, including an exoskeleton for Ben, a flame rig for Johnny, and an invisibility simulator for Sue. The hosts discuss how strange it is to see the Fantastic Four essentially wearing homemade versions of their superhero costumes and powers.There's also an important emotional component to Ben's situation. He finally gets to experience what life might have been like if he had never become The Thing, and the hosts discuss the conflict between wanting his normal life back and recognizing that his powers are part of who he has become.Daredevil's Introduction: A New Doctor DoomThe episode also introduces a noticeably different version of Doctor Doom.The hosts discuss the new voice performance and characterization, particularly how much more theatrical, sophisticated, and commanding Doom feels compared with his Season 1 incarnation. The new portrayal gives Doom a greater sense of gravitas while still allowing him to have some wonderfully ridiculous moments.Doom takes advantage of the Fantastic Four's vulnerability, believing that their loss of powers has finally given him the opportunity to defeat Reed Richards once and for all. He takes control of the Baxter Building and uses the team's own technology and defenses against them, forcing them to rely on their wits and their new ally.The hosts discuss whether this new Doom is a better representation of the character and how the voice performance changes the way he feels as a villain.Daredevil's Introduction: Doctor Doom Takes the Baxter BuildingWith the Fantastic Four powerless, Doom sees his chance to finally conquer their headquarters.The hosts recap Doom's assault on the Baxter Building and the various traps he sets for the team. Without their traditional powers, even basic obstacles become serious threats.This forces Daredevil to step in and help guide the team through situations they would normally handle themselves. His heightened senses allow him to navigate dangers that the others cannot, making him a surprisingly useful addition to the team.The hosts have fun discussing the irony of the Fantastic Four needing help from a blind superhero because they are suddenly unable to use the powers they've depended on for so long.Daredevil's Introduction: A New Season, a New Fantastic FourBeyond the story itself, the hosts spend time talking about the biggest change of all: Season 2 looks and feels different.The animation style has been revamped, the opening has changed, and the overall presentation feels more polished and closer to the comic books. The second season also brought changes behind the scenes, including a new animation production setup and recast voice roles.The hosts discuss whether they prefer the new visual style and how noticeable the transition is after watching the entire first season.For them, Daredevil's Introduction isn't just the introduction of a new character—it's also the beginning of a new era for the series.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Get Their Powers BackThe episode eventually brings the Fantastic Four's struggle to a head as Reed's technology provides a way for the team to regain their powers.Ben faces the biggest choice when he realizes that becoming The Thing again means giving up the normal life he's briefly enjoyed. Ultimately, he chooses his friends and his responsibility as a member of the Fantastic Four, returning to his rocky form and helping the team confront Doom.The confrontation ends with Ben getting the upper hand on Doom, while the Baxter Building itself is destroyed in the chaos—leaving the Fantastic Four homeless heading into the new season.Final Thoughts — Daredevil's IntroductionBy the end of Daredevil's Introduction, The Superhero Show finds plenty to be excited about as the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series enters its second season. The introduction of Daredevil gives the episode a fresh dynamic, while the Fantastic Four's temporary loss of their powers forces the team to rethink how they operate.Add in a revamped animation style, a new overall tone, and a much more commanding Doctor Doom, and “And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them” feels like a genuine reset for the series. The hosts break down what works, what feels different, and why Daredevil's Introduction makes for such a memorable way to begin the next chapter of Fantastic Four.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

Daredevil Born Again, season 2, episode 6 The return of a fan favorite shakes things up as Fisk continues to mourn Vanessa and starts to lose his hold on the city.
This week, Eisner Award-winning writer Saladin Ahmed joins the AIPT Comics podcast to talk about three very different heroes currently occupying his writing desk: Cheetara, Wolverine, and Bishop.With ThunderCats: Cheetara launching September 9, Ahmed discusses taking one of Third Earth's most mysterious heroes into her own ongoing series, the troubling visions that challenge what she knows about ThunderCats history, working with artist Andrea Arcari, and the freedom Dynamite has given him to push and reshape the mythology.The conversation also returns to the X-Men universe, where Ahmed's working on Wolverine and Bishop. We dig into where both characters currently stand, the distinct challenges of writing two veteran mutants, and what Ahmed is building toward in each series.Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon.

Cheetara has always been one of the more mysterious ThunderCats because of her visions. What excited you about making those visions the engine of an ongoing series rather than just a supporting trait?2. The solicitation mentions voices that contradict the Book of Omens and even praise the Mu'Tants. Were you interested in exploring how faith or certainty can be challenged when someone suddenly has conflicting truths?3. One thing I've always liked about Cheetara is that she's often the calmest person in the room while everyone else is reacting emotionally. How did you approach giving her an internal journey that still feels true to that personality?4. This is your first project with Dynamite and your first time writing ThunderCats. What surprised you most once you started digging into the mythology? Was there a corner of the universe you found yourself unexpectedly fascinated by?5. Andrea Ancari is relatively new to American readers. What did you see in his storytelling that made him the right artist for a book balancing action, visions, and psychological mystery?6. ThunderCats has existed across cartoons, comics, and multiple reinterpretations over decades. Were there specific versions of Cheetara you found yourself drawing inspiration from, or did you intentionally try to build your own voice for her?Wolverine / X-Men questions1. One thing I've really enjoyed in your Wolverine run is seeing Logan genuinely vulnerable again. Between the broken claws and now the healing factor failing, what opportunities does a weakened Wolverine create that an invincible Wolverine simply can't?2. Wolverine #21 was almost a bottle episode, with Logan and Nightcrawler just trying to relax before everything goes wrong. How important are those quieter character issues when you're writing someone who's usually defined by violence?3. Julius Ohta has become a fantastic collaborator on the series. Are there moments where his storytelling or acting has changed the way you approached later scripts?Bishop / X-office questionWith both Wolverine and Bishop, you've been working inside a very interconnected X-Men line. How much collaboration happens behind the scenes? Bonus fun questionYou've now written everything from Miles Morales to Wolverine, Daredevil, and now Cheetara. Is there a dream character or franchise that still sits on your bucket list where, if the phone rang tomorrow, you'd immediately say yes?

X-Men '97 Season 2 has officially come to an end! After an incredible first season, did Marvel Animation manage to recapture the magic, or did Season 2 bite off more than it could chew? In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we give our full spoiler-filled review of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 5-9, including the season finale, Apocalypse, Nightcrawler, the incredible action and animation, our biggest criticisms, and what we want from X-Men '97 Season 3. But first, we've got a hefty 40-minute cold open! COLD OPEN: FIRST 40 MINUTES DRAGON CON 2026 We're heading to Dragon Con starting September 3rd, and we'll be there all weekend! We're excited to experience the convention and hopefully meet some fellow SuperHero Homies along the way. If you see us wandering around Dragon Con, come say hello! SODA CITY COMIC CON We also recap our trip to Soda City Comic Con, where we had the opportunity to meet Wilson Bethel, better known as Bullseye from Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again, and the legendary Peter Weller, star of RoboCop. We share stories from both encounters and our overall experience at the convention. ARE THE FOX X-MEN MOVIES UNDERRATED? With X-Men hotter than ever, we revisit the Fox X-Men movie franchise and ask whether these films deserve more credit. The franchise definitely had some lows, but movies like Logan and X-Men: Days of Future Past remain among the greatest comic book movies ever made. So... have we been too hard on the Fox X-Men? THE BATMAN JOINS THE DCU?! Could Matt Reeves' Batman eventually be folded into James Gunn's larger DC Universe? We discuss the possibility of Robert Pattinson's Batman sharing the screen with David Corenswet's Superman, whether that combination could actually work, and what it would mean for the future of the DCU. We also discuss our excitement for Batman: Knightfall Part 1 and the chilling new Absolute Batman Mr. Freeze origin story. LANTERNS We're loving Lanterns! Unfortunately, we haven't had enough time to review the series weekly, but we give our thoughts on what we've seen so far and why we can't wait to give the show a proper review. X-MEN '97 SEASON 2 FULL SPOILERS After the cold open, we dive into X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 5-9 and the finale. There's still a LOT to love about this series. The animation, voice acting, superhero action, fight scenes, comic book references, and character work remain top-notch. Certain characters and storylines are handled exceptionally well, particularly Nightcrawler, who continues to be one of our favorite characters. But Season 2 also left us frustrated. We discuss: • Apocalypse and his Season 2 storyline • The disappointing conclusion to the overarching conflict • Why certain Apocalypse storylines feel half-baked • Nightcrawler's fantastic character development • The incredible animation and voice acting • Some of the season's best fight scenes • Our favorite and least favorite moments • The disjointed storytelling • Season 2's pacing problems • How Season 2 compares to Season 1 • The X-Men '97 Season 2 ending • Our theories and predictions for Season 3 Our biggest issue is that Season 2 simply needed more room to breathe. There are great ideas throughout these episodes, but important story beats sometimes move so quickly that they don't receive the emotional weight or development they deserve. The overarching Apocalypse storyline is especially frustrating because such an iconic X-Men villain deserved a more fulfilling conclusion. That doesn't mean we've suddenly stopped loving X-Men '97. Far from it. We still think this is an excellent superhero animated series with fantastic characters, gorgeous animation, phenomenal action, and a clear love for Marvel Comics and X-Men history. Season 1 simply set an incredibly high bar, and Season 2 doesn't quite reach it. We're still VERY excited for X-Men '97 Season 3, and we're hoping Marvel Animation slows things down just enough to let its biggest moments breathe. JOIN THE DISCUSSION Did X-Men '97 Season 2 stick the landing? Was Apocalypse handled properly? Was Season 1 better? And what do YOU want to see in Season 3? Let us know in the comments!

Daredevil Born Again, season 2, episode 5. It's a look back at the Netflix Daredevil past as Vanessa fights for her life, Daniel has to make a choice, and Matt struggles with what to do with Dex.
June 24th, 2006. Historic Fort York, Toronto. Twenty-two songs, and buried at number fourteen is a track The Tragically Hip only ever played nine times.That is the version we spin. Same night they pulled '38 Years Old' out of the vault for the first time since July of 1995. Nine plays for 'No Threat', per Hipbase and setlist.fm, and one of those nine got audited live on this stream. There was an entry claiming November 15th, 1991. Andrew went after it, Steve pulled the tape down to check, and the correction went in while the mics were still hot.'No Threat' opens "Yer Favourites", the November 2005 double disc where fans voted on every track except the two nobody had heard yet. This one, and 'The New Maybe' closing disc two. Adam Kasper made both, the same man who made "In Between Evolution" the year before. Track one is the brand new song. Track two is 'Grace, Too'. Kevin has a word for that sequencing decision, and the word is bold.It landed at 85 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, between 'Daredevil' and 'Sherpa'. Then the poll came back from the Facebook group with a stack of loves, which was nobody's prediction at this table, plus eight percent who came right out and said they dislike it. Steve did not vote. Steve tells us where he would have landed, and it opens something bigger than the song: what do you do with a band you love and songs you don't? He has a list. He is not sorry about the list.Then there is the guitar. Jeff from Vaughan puts it in the chat first, that it is the guitar that doesn't work here, and Kevin has been circling the same thing all week. A chord that goes somewhere your ear refuses to follow. He can tell you which side of the mix it comes from and which of the two of them is playing it.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Yelly Gord. Andrew's name for the thing that starts here and does not stop, straight through 'Yer Not the Ocean' and into a version of 'Blow at High Dough' that is barely a word any more. Where it came from, and which album this song belonged on instead.• Kevin catches the flip. First person the whole way through, and then for one line it isn't, and there is a woman in the room.• The last thing Gord says in the song. Nobody here can explain it. Three theories, no verdict, and one line jD reads out that stops everybody cold: you die to your fans one window at a time.• Andrew went hunting the origin story. Nine or ten full shows from 1996, chasing a rant that is supposed to be the seed of this song. He did not find it. He found something else about peacekeeping that he cannot now unhear.• The Hip headlined the first two concerts ever held at the Air Canada Centre. Steve knows who opened, and who played the third night.• The anniversary weekend. jD in Kingston for Springer Market Square, murals and painted guitars all over a town that does not normally do it up. Steve stretched it over three days in Toronto and got a west end blackout two songs into the last show. Kevin was in Ireland.• The live record, and the two songs on it that are not live. Andrew has a fix.• End of summer picks. Steve's 'The Dire Wolf' and a whole summer in Kingston in 2002. Andrew's '11th Fret', a hangover song and he means that kindly. Kevin's 'Three Pistols', Tom Thomson and Algonquin Park. Steve's first answer was not one of theirs at all, and he owns it on air.Next week the wheel lands on 'Putting Down' from "Music @ Work". Which the band played at Fort York that same June night in 2006, four songs before this one. So there's that.THE PANEL• Kevin from Sarnia. First time at the table. He was buying every one of these records the week it came out and cannot remember buying this one, which tells you something. Plays in a cover band called 402 West, named for the highway between London and Sarnia.• Andrew from Winnipeg. Back again, and the closest thing this show has to a research department. Plays bass in Crooked Ice, whose record is "Dark Stars", and he cut the video too. His radio show and podcast is Soup Full of Radio.• Steve from Toronto.

Does Daredevil's Director's Cut redeem one of Marvel's most divisive superhero movies?In this episode of Review It Yourself, Sean is joined by Stew from Stew World Order to revisit Ben Affleck's take on Marvel's Man Without Fear and find out whether this early superhero film deserves a second chance.We discuss the differences between the Director's Cut and the theatrical release, Michael Clarke Duncan's unforgettable Kingpin, Colin Farrell's wonderfully unhinged Bullseye, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and whether this darker version improves on the original.We also explore Daredevil's place in the history of Marvel movies before the MCU, how it compares with modern comic book adaptations, and whether nostalgia has changed the way audiences view it over twenty years later.If you've ever wondered whether Daredevil (2003) is an underrated superhero movie, a misunderstood cult favourite, or simply a relic of early 2000s comic book cinema, this episode has you covered.In this episode, we discuss:Daredevil (2003) Director's Cut vs theatrical versionBen Affleck as Matt Murdock/DaredevilMarvel films before the MCUMichael Clarke Duncan's KingpinColin Farrell's Bullseye performanceJennifer Garner's ElektraEarly 2000s superhero movie trendsComic book movie nostalgiaDoes Daredevil deserve a reappraisal?If you enjoy honest film reviews without the faff, subscribe to Review It Yourself and never miss an episode.Follow Review It Yourself:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reviewityourselfpodcast2021X / Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourselfReviewBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/reviewityourself.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@reviewityourselfpodcast2021Email: reviewityourselfpodcast@gmail.comSupport the podcastIf you enjoy the show, the best way to support Review It Yourself is to:Follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.Leave a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Share your favourite episodes with friends and fellow film fans.Recommend guests, films, or TV shows you'd like us to review by getting in touch via social media or email.Thanks for listening to Review It Yourself – Film Reviews Without the Faff.

It's a Marvel filled day on issue 661 of Comicast!With the X-Men cast being revealed (well partially revealed) at D23 this past Friday, Jong and Michael discuss why this group harkens back to the early days of Marvel Studios' casting, why they're excited for this group of actors, who didn't get announced that they were most surprised by, whether Wolverine is held off for a future film, how Marvel Studios is already setting up this new iteration to be vastly different from the Fox X-Men era, why Adam Driver introduces his character as Nathaniel Milbury, and much more!Plus, the guys discuss the latest trailer for Avengers Doomsday, Doom Fantastic Four First Steps connection confirmation, how Doomsday/Secret Wars could be the reverse of Infinity War/Endgame, why the Visionquest trailer helps indicate that this could be the final live action Marvel series not named Daredevil for some time, and some quick thoughts on the X-Men '97 finale. Did one of the guys feel the show rushed season 2's ending? I'm not telling you, you gotta listen to find out!

Daredevil Born Again season 2 episode 3. An episode that brings two surprising things: hope and a newfound appreciation for Karen Page!
A joy to gather on a favorite topic for all of us since we were all very little kids. Each with a slightly different perspective on Spider Man. Matt being the oldest by FAR started on the 1970's animated spider man, the cousins started with the movies - some Tobey Maguire, some Andrew Garfield, and some Tom Holland. All very unique takes on the character. It was fun to catch up with them and the conversation does veer off quite a bit...so, strap in for an interesting ride through the family dynamic and the boys take on Spider Man through the years. Check out the EppsCast.
This week on previously on…Charlie Cox says that Daredevil won’t appear in Secret Wars, Star Wars announces its first-ever comic book crossover with Marvel, and David Zaslav says not to worry about the DCU; it's great!

August 14, 2016. The last night The Tragically Hip ever played Toronto, and three fans who were in the building take jD back inside - ten years to the day.Sunday, August 14, 2016. The Air Canada Centre, the last night of a three-night stand, and the last time The Tragically Hip ever played Toronto. Nobody in the building knew that for certain. Everybody in the building knew it anyway.Ten years to the day, jD steers into uncharted waters (they never do third ones) with three fans who were there: Dave from Thornhill, Jeff from Buffalo, and Jeff from Belleville.The news first, because the news is always first. Jeff from Buffalo came in from a morning run, read the email, and handed his wife the phone because he could not say the words. Dave was getting into his car at Yonge and Eglinton when his whole body sank (and one friend in the group chat skipped the first paragraph and celebrated the new tour - leave it to friends). Jeff from Belleville read it in the front foyer, flashed hot, and told his kids the only thing he could get out: Gord Downie is not doing well.Then the tickets. Jeff from Buffalo broke the algorithm by asking for one seat at a time - it kept offering him another, and two shutouts became four tickets. Dave had Kingston floors on his screen for five full minutes before the error message took them away. Jeff from Belleville stared down the spinning wheel of death for half an hour, then went to plan B. Plan B was this show. So there's that.The day itself: the recording booth outside the ACC that both Jeffs walked past and still regret, a stranger in the beer line who covered the round - "pay it forward, man" - and got the two people behind them too, and Dave breaking his own no-listening-on-show-day rule, blasting The Hip the whole drive down from camp in Haliburton before standing under the marquee, staring at the boys.Then the set list. 'Blow at High Dough' out of the gate, hitting everybody in the face exactly the way it should. 'Opiated', which Dave still can't quite believe he got. Four songs from "Now For Plan A", the rare record of the night. 'The Last of the Unplucked Gems' filling the room while Gord changed - reflection time, Dave calls it. The 'that night in Toronto' line in 'Bobcaygeon' that Gord missed and the whole building carried. And 'Daredevil' into 'Grace, Too' to close - the close-up on the big screen, everything pouring out of him, down to the last bead of sweat.Jeff from Buffalo kept notes from that week, and he read them back. Nervous on the QEW. No crying at the show. And one line that says it all: there's no way he's sick, because nobody sick could be that defiant. The whole evening was a magic spell, and it held right up until the house lights came on. Then it broke.There's a detour into the silver suit (hello, good evening folks, we are the Silver Poets) - armor, magician's misdirection, or just Gord radiating light in a purple hat, depending on which panelist you ask. Jeff from Belleville admits the outfits looked a little cringy in the photos beforehand. Then Gord strutted out. Case closed.And the thread runs where it always runs - to August 20th. A living room outside Buffalo with the kids and Pearl Jam dedications rolling in. The back of the floor at the Danforth Music Hall. And for Dave, a mystery ticket a few weeks later that turned out to be "Secret Path" at Roy Thomson Hall - which he now teaches to his grade 7 and 8 students every January, when it's cold and grey outside and Chanie Wenjack was about their age.The landing belongs to Jeff from Buffalo, though: a compromised man put on a show like that, and the rest of us have our health. We all have something terminal. Live like it.THE PANEL• Dave from Thornhill - a teacher who got one night away from camp in Haliburton and spent it at the last Toronto Hip show, watched Kingston floors dissolve into an error screen, and turned a mystery ticket into "Secret Path" at Roy Thomson Hall. His debut novel, "The Throwback Academy", arrives this October under the pen name TJ Thompson (Instagram: @tjthompsonbooks).• Jeff from Buffalo - four kids (including triplets), a ticket system broken one seat at a time, and notes written in 2016 that he read back on air. He writes feature stories for Buffalo Magazine - the newest one is about washed glass on the Lake Erie shore.• Jeff from Belleville - an hour and forty from home with his wife, Shannon, a plan-B ticket that turned into this episode, and the beer-line story this series will be retelling for a while. His internet fought him all night. He stayed anyway.SOURCESSet list for August 14, 2016 at the Air Canada Centre - source: setlist.fm.SIT IN THE THIRD CHAIRThe finale of Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour films inside the Bathhouse in Bath, Ontario on August 20, 2026 at 1:00 pm - ten years to the day since Kingston.

Shadows Of Justice by David Hasty https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G8KQNKRG https://www.facebook.com/david.hasty.7 “There’s a fine line between saving lives and losing your own in the process.” Eighteen-year-old Evan Drake has always lived in two worlds. By day, he’s a struggling student trying to keep up with grades, track practice, and a family still healing from loss. By night, he becomes Shadow-the masked apprentice of Vanguard, Crescent City’s legendary vigilante. But every lesson comes with a cost. Every victory leaves a scar. And as the Syndicate’s criminal network tightens its grip on the city, Evan’s double life begins to unravel. His relationships fracture, his body breaks, and his conscience fades under the weight of “justice.” When a mysterious voice on the comms warns him that Vanguard’s mission isn’t what it seems, Evan must choose between loyalty and truth-between being the weapon his mentor forged, or the hero his city truly needs. Shadows of Justice is a gripping, character-driven vigilante thriller that explores how far one boy will go to protect others before the darkness consumes him. Fans of Batman: Year One, Daredevil, and Nightwing will find a hauntingly human take on heroism, sacrifice, and the cost of wearing the mask. About the author David Hasty was born on September 15, 1971, in Ahoskie, North Carolina. David has always been drawn to the mysteries of life—both seen and unseen. A lifelong learner and natural storyteller, he has built a career that bridges science, humanity, and quiet spirituality. A graduate of North Carolina State University, he later earned his Master's degree in Education Administration from East Carolina University. For over 15 years, he has served as a high school science teacher, where his passion for discovery, curiosity, and connection has inspired countless students. Before his time in education, he worked in 911 emergency services and as a Quality Control Chemist, roles that gave him a unique understanding of people, precision, and the delicate balance between chaos and order. Outside the classroom, David Hasty is a proud father of three children—Jenna, his oldest daughter; Alex, his middle son; and Hannah, his youngest. Though divorced, he cherishes the close bond he shares with his children and finds joy in simple, grounding routines—cooking, singing, reading, and enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. Writing has always been his creative refuge. From his earliest years, he found comfort in books and storytelling, often imagining new worlds while reading survival stories or exploring nature. Today, his fiction reflects the same curiosity and wonder that have defined his life—a blend of imagination, empathy, and a subtle spiritual awareness that guides his characters and themes. While his stories are fictional, they are deeply influenced by his belief that there's a greater design in life—something spiritual that shapes every experience and connection. Through his writing, he hopes to remind readers that there is always light to be found, meaning to be discovered, and hope to be shared in the stories we tell.
Welcome to another episode of Spun Today, the podcast dedicated to exploring creativity and storytelling through the lens of writing. In this episode, the conversation focused on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, diving deep into its morally complex characters, political intrigue, and the ways fiction can feel uncomfortably close to reality. A key theme that emerged was how great writing leverages gray areas—challenging black-and-white morality by making both sides question their own actions. The discussion explored writing techniques like escalating conflict, crafting characters with conflicting identities, and building dramatic irony, all while reflecting on why narrative momentum matters more than just narrative quantity. The episode also highlighted an inspiring "Goats Doing Goat Shit" inductee, in the segment where we celebrate those who go above and beyond in altruism. Stick around for a thoughtful blend of creative insight, pop culture analysis, and motivational energy—perfect for fueling your own creative journey.

It's Marvel Monday and the multiverse breaks open! ABOUT SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME With Spider-Man's identity now revealed, Peter asks Doctor Strange for help. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME December 17, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director: Jon Watts Writers: Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Stan Lee Cast: Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Zendaya as MJ Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius/Doc Ock Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS If you recall the end of our last Spidey movie, Quentin Beck exposed Peter Parker as Spider-Man and framed him for his murder. Naturally, Peter's life is thrown into chaos. The Department of Damage Control, something I'm almost positive doesn't actually exist but how can you know, interrogates Peter, MJ, Ned, and Aunt May. Their attorney, Daredevil, gets the charges dismissed. Despite his legal victory, the public turns on him. Feeling bad about screwing up his friends' future, Peter asks Dr. Strange to cast a spell that will make the world forget he's Spider-Man. But Peter keeps interrupting the spell to add people he doesn't want to forget, causing it to go nuts and pull visitors from across the multiverse into their reality. Peter goes to talk to the MIT admissions person but ends up being greeted by Doctor Octopus who seems to know a lot about him despite Peter never meeting him before. Peter learns that the spell has summoned people who know Spider-Man's secret identity from across the multiverse. Strange tasks Peter, MJ, and Ned with capturing the interdimensional visitors, leading them to capture Electro, Sandman, the Lizard, and Norman Osborn. Peter soon realizes that each villain was pulled from their universe moments before their death and believes they deserve a chance at redemption instead of being sent back to die. Defying Strange, Peter steals the spell that would send everyone back to their own dimension and begins developing cures for the villains using Stark technology. Peter successfully restores Doctor Octopus, but Norman's Green Goblin persona takes over once again, convincing the other villains to turn on Peter. This leads to a massive battle that fatally injures Aunt May. Before she dies, she reminds Peter that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility," leaving him devastated and questioning whether he made the right choice. Ned unexpectedly discovers he can use Strange's sling ring to open portals. While searching for Peter, he and MJ instead find two alternate Spider-Men from different universes. Maybe you've seen them before in other movies?! I dunno. The three Peters unite and create cures for each enemy and lure them to the Statue of Liberty for one final showdown. It works! But rifts open across the multiverse. Realizing there is only one solution, Peter asks Strange to cast a new spell that erases Peter Parker from everyone's memory. The spell saves the multiverse, sending everyone back to their own universes. Peter visits MJ and Ned, intending to remind them who he is, but decides not to disrupt the new lives they've built. After paying his respects at Aunt May's grave and sharing a quiet moment with Happy Hogan, Peter embraces a fresh start. Now completely anonymous, he creates a new homemade Spider-Man suit and swings back into the city, beginning the next chapter of his life as a true friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
