In Episode #711, it's time to return to my interview with Tom Sniegoski, who is the scripter for the Herculoids series from Dynamite Entertainment! Tom and I talk about the animated series that started it all as well as take a deep dive into the various characters and what made this show a favorite of fans even decades later! Here's how the comic is described: “The legendary planet of Amzot sits in the far reaches of deepest, darkest space. It's a planet of extreme riches, but those who seek it out are routinely struck by untold disaster and terrible fates. Anyone who manages to survive to tell the tale speaks of horrific, imposing guardian monsters that protect it. Yet raiders and explorers continue coming, only to meet the Herculoids again and again! The creators invite fans to adventure with the Herculoids as they protect their home, and even they will learn even bigger secrets about their planet.” Tom also discusses the art from collaborator Craig Rousseau, which many fans are also already looking forward to enjoying! The series just released issue #8, so things are going well for the Herculoids! Don't wait--be sure to let your local comics shop know you want this book as soon as you finish listening to this fun interview!

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! This episode contains significant reveals for Ironheart and the broader MCU. Consider watching the show first if you care about spoilers.After years of fan theories and speculation, Mephisto has finally arrived in the MCU through Ironheart—but not in the way anyone expected. Matthew and Riki dive into how the show subverted expectations about heroism, morality, and what it means to make a deal with the devil.Is Riri Williams actually the hero of her own story? The hosts examine how Ironheart deliberately plays with audience expectations, making viewers question whether they're watching a traditional superhero origin or something much darker. From academic cheating to leaving someone to die, Riri's moral choices become increasingly questionable throughout the series.How does Mephisto function as the ultimate tempter rather than a traditional villain? Unlike physical powerhouses like Thanos or Doom, Mephisto's strength lies in influence and manipulation. The discussion explores how he doesn't possess people but creates circumstances where they make their worst possible decisions—and why that makes him so terrifying.What does the theology behind the devil archetype tell us about this character? Matthew provides historical context about the evolution from the Hebrew "Ha-satan" (the accuser) to the Christian concept of Lucifer, and how Marvel's Mephisto draws from both traditions while remaining respectful of different faith perspectives.Could the AI Natalie have been Mephisto's creation all along? The hosts theorize that Mephisto may have been pulling strings throughout the entire series, using the AI companion to both help Riri succeed and set up her ultimate temptation.The episode also tackles the show's brilliant balance of science versus magic, the stellar performances across the cast, and what this means for future MCU projects like Strange Academy and the upcoming Spider-Man film. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Episode SummaryErin and Rachel wallow through an elderly man's grief journey with Pixar's critically acclaimed Up (2009). They argue the beautiful art and cute sidekicks aren't enough to redeem this (admittedly beloved) film, especially since the (admittedly moving) love story invokes the classic “dead wife” trope. We'll keep sailing our balloon house onto the next one, please and thank you. Episode BibliographyAdler, S. (2008, August 7).
