What if the hero afraid of his own power is exactly what makes it easy to fear an entire population? Matthew Fox is joined by returning guests Will Freeland and Steve Stormoen of the “Hype Is My Superpower” podcast to dig into “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” Peter's uneasy partnership with the Punisher, and how Bruce Banner's fear of himself ends up doing quiet work in the movie's X-Men subplot.The three trace comic references straight out of “Civil War,” “Ultimate Comics,” and the original “Brand New Day” storyline, argue about whether Jean Grey finally gets to be a character instead of a plot device, and dig into a scene where MJ takes back the agency Peter tried to take from her. Lastly, they get into whether we should evaluate this movie on its own or as the last MCU release before “Avengers: Doomsday.”Full show notes and resourcesConnect with Will Freeland: Twitch · Instagram**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

"Great Explorers in Space Ed Reads Short Sci-fi vol I" is a captivating anthology that brings together a collection of thrilling tales from various authors, exploring the vast unknowns of space and the human experience. From the harrowing journey through the Asteroid Belt in "Flight Perilous" to the chilling mysteries of "The Last Plunge," these stories delve into themes of exploration, discovery, and the moral dilemmas faced by humanity as it reaches for the stars. With narratives that challenge our understanding of existence and the consequences of our actions, this collection resonates with today's ongoing quest for knowledge and the ethical considerations of technological advancement.

A solar-system-level disaster wipes out four planetary systems, humanity clings to life in space colonies, and Zion stands as the last planet that can still sustain people. Then come the “Victims” and the only real answer is a handful of towering mechanized weapons called Ingrids, built with eerie female humanoid forms and powered through nerve-link technology that can wreck the human body.We walk through Candidate for Goddess (also known as Pilot Candidate) with a clear focus on how its world works: the Goddess Operation Academy, the strict pilot requirements (age, health, EL blood type), and EX, the superhuman capability that makes a pilot compatible with an Ingrid's interface. We also dig into the series' most charged dynamic: each young male pilot paired with a female repairer who maintains the machine and manually blocks painful feedback during missions, turning teamwork into something that can feel like dependency and control at the same time.Then we get personal about the rewatch factor. Some of the character design and dialogue screams “product of its time,” and the CGI mechs, especially the doll-like faces, can be a mixed bag in 2026. But there's still a compelling spine here, from Zero's mysterious “call” to the hangar to the moment he links with a goddess during an attack when it should have meant death. If you care about mecha anime, sci-fi worldbuilding, and the uneasy ethics of turning teenagers into weapons, this conversation is for you.

Translation for Intro:  "Fire Dragon can reduce Tokyo to ashes in just a few hours." Godzilla ROARS. "It's Godzilla!" As always there are spoilers ahead! You can follow the podcast on social media on Threads, Instagram and Bluesky. If you have like to wear a monocle and talk about fancy artisan cheeses maybe you would like to be a patron of the podcast? Luckily neither of those things are a requirement! You can join Patreon and for £3 or $3 a month you can get ad free version of the show. https://www.patreon.com/everyscififilm If you are interested in the plot of the film you can read an overview on the wikipedia page here.   Correction: In the intro I say Japanese Air Base when I mean Japanese Moon Base. Welcome to the podcast! TIME FOR PANIC TO ENSUE!!! We are in 1968! It's finally here! Am I ready for the 2001: A Space Odyssey? No, I am not! But I'm getting there. Please bear with me.  In the meantime, I shall distract you with a chat about one of the most visually delightful of Kaiju Films (Although one of our guests' recommendations may have it beat in visual delights). You can see an array of the stills from Destroy All Monsters on my Instagram account. This is the swinging 60s Japan style! In 1968 ToHo studios decided to wrap up the Godzilla Franchise with a big bang! A Kaiju extravaganza featuring 11 monsters. Let me list them for you. Godzilla  Rodan Angurius Mothra (very tragically in larva form) Gorosaurus  Minilla (Godzilla's son who gives me the creeps. Sorry!) Kumonga Baragon Manda Varan King Ghidorah  Due to international success the franchise continued on. Hoorah! I have two gargantuan guests for you. (They actually are, as far as I am aware, human sized although I have no proof.)  Yuki Miyamoto is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Humanities Center at DePaul University. Her work focuses on the ethics around nuclear discourse. Blair Davis is a Professor of Media and Cinema Studies at DePaul University. He has written a lot about cinema and comics and including the book The Battle for the Bs: 1950s Hollywood and the Rebirth of Low-Budget Cinema.

Next episode (if all goes well) we will be talking about the Je t'aime, je t'aime (1968) which is available on BFI player in the UK (which is accessible through Apple TV) but seems very elusive elsewhere. There is a version on YouTube but it is in French. The English title (I Love You, I Love You) did not seem to help. The BluRay is also available but for slightly silly prices outside of the UK from what I can see. I wish you luck in finding it!

The anthology raises poignant questions about the ethics of war, the impact of technology on humanity, and the choices that define us in desperate times. These timeless themes resonate deeply today, inviting listeners to reflect on the consequences of power and the true cost of peace.

Star Wars Publishing Problems. Inspired by a recent book to a new Barnes & Noble, John asks Matt if his perception lines up with reality. Looking at the Star Wars section of the Sci-Fi area, there was a disturbing sign. Does a lack of new titles and a ton of older “Legends” titles on display show a once-great publishing arm well out of steam and heading for irrelevance? What does that mean for the franchise as a whole?Have the Jedi Masters stumbled on a worrying sign for the future of Star Wars publishing?

Originally published as a series of novellas in Asimov's Science Fiction before winning the 2006 Locus Award for best novel, Accelerando traces three generations of the Macx family (and one notoriously manipulative AI cat named Aineko) across a high-speed, century-long journey through future history and the looming technological singularity.  We unpack the overwhelming density of Stross's worldbuilding—from cyberpunk edge, BDSM, and KGB-uplifted digital lobsters, to Capitalism 2.0 driven by profit-seeking AI corporations, automated corporate law and self-propagating lawsuits, and personalized advertising that feels eerily prescient today. Discover how Stross redefines the technological singularity through system-wide computing power measured in MIPS, explores consciousness as a predator-prey evolutionary dynamic, and takes us to the edge of the solar system where Matrioshka brains, alien communiqués from brown dwarfs, and beam-riding simulated minds completely rewrite the rules of interstellar travel and resource allocation.  Whether you're curious about the Vile Offspring, nested self-referential autonomous corporations, or Jupiter-orbiting electrodynamic tether generators, this episode breaks down why Accelerando is an essential—and utterly chaotic—masterclass in expert speculative fiction. Stick around to the end of the episode for our spoiler-heavy post-show discussion, plus our top similar book recommendations, including William Gibson's Neuromancer, Greg Egan's Diaspora, and Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora!

WBS: I am Tired, How About You #372 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and his wife Danielle as they chat about California, how the sushi challenge with Raina is Crazy went, and the obvious disconnect between what her fans thought happened and what actually happened. They chat about the adorable Brimstone piece sent by Jujubit, going live with the legendary Jim Cummings at the Hard Rock Café, and his Sci-Fi Mini Con moment. They discuss the Alex losing his bag at Disneyland (with his driver's license and passport), Brim being recognized around California, the Spiderman premiere, and standing a foot away from Ryan Reynolds dressed in a Canadian Tuxedo Deadpool outfit. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.
