Episode 96 - Murdock and Marvel: 2022 It was a good year for comics, with things being stable, but still pointing up.  In the movie world, though, there were some dangerous signs of problems to come… The Year in Comics  Comics in Other Media Comic Sales Notable Comics Top Comic News Notable Passings Marvel Eisner Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v6 #36, Daredevil v7 #1-4, Devil's Reign #1-6, Devil's Reign Omega #1, Daredevil Epic Collection #12, Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus #1, Marvel Masterworks: Werewolf By Night #1, Mighty Marvel Masterworks: Namor the Sub-Mariner #1  Writer: Chip Zdarsky (v6 #36, DR #1-6, v7 #1-3) Zdarsky, Rodney Barnes and Jim Zub (Omega)  Pencils: Manuel Garcia (#36), Marco Checchetto (DR #1-6, v7 #1), Rafael De Latorre, Luciano Vecchio and Guillermo Sanna Bauza (Omega), Checchetto, De Latorre, Alex Maleev, Paul Azaceta, Phil Noto, Chris Samnee, Klaus Janson, Mike Hawthorne and John Romita Jr (v7 #2), De Latorre (v7 #3-4)  Inks: Cam Smith, Scott Hanna and Victor Nava (#36), Marco Checchetto (DR #1-6, v7 #1-), Rafael De Latorre, Luciano Vecchio and Guillermo Sanna Bauza (Omega) , Checchetto, De Latorre, Alex Maleev, Paul Azaceta, Phil Noto, Chris Samnee, Klaus Janson, Mike Hawthorne and Scott Hanna (v7 #2), De Latorre (v7 #3-4)  The year begins with the final book of the Lock Down storyline we talked about in 2021. Fisk gets married to Typhoid Mary and while at his summer home finds his secret file with information on Daredevil's secret identity.    That leads us into the big crossover event for 2022 – Devil's Reign. Since it's a huge crossover event that basically takes the place of a Daredevil volume for much of 2022, this will be our Spotlight story for the week.   Following Devil's Reign in July, we get an epilogue book called Devil's Reign Omega. In it there are 3 stories:   In “Fall and Rise” Reed Richards tells Daredevil he believes Fisk has traveled to Latveria before everything pauses for Matt Murdock's funeral, with Kirsten delivering the eulogy and the Marvel cast quietly circling the truth—Foggy grieving, Jessica learning Joe is alive but warehoused in an orphanage, and Butch Pharris showing up just long enough to confirm he knows Mike died in Matt's place and to ask the one question no one can answer: where is Matt?  Daredevil and Elektra watch the post-funeral scene, telling Luke Cage and Danny Rand that Matt being “dead” is the only way they can leave New York and take the fight to the Hand. A quick bank-robbery stop turns awkward when the Thunderbolts arrive and remind everyone that Fisk may be gone, but the Powers Act—and their authority—very much isn't.  The story ends with Jessica Jones freeing Joe from his inhibitor collar and takes responsibility for him, Kirsten quietly buries the Norn Stone with Matt and admits she knows, somehow, this isn't goodbye.   In “Mayor For Hire” we see Luke Cage reflect on his past before his first press conference as Mayor. During the opening statement he tries to bring people together and afterwords talks about the role of the Thunderbolts.  In “Cleaning House” Luke Cage tries to recruit Monica Rambeau to lead the Thunderbolts and reform them from within. She turns him down and it's suggested they try asking Clint Barton next.  By September the events of Devil's Reign have wrapped up and Daredevil volume 7 starts. In it we get the first 4 issues of a storyline entitled “The Red Fist Saga”. It opens with Matt —posing as Mike—confronting Butch and learns about Fisk's fate. He then drops the act and with Spider-Man backing him up gives Butch a clear warning: rule like Fisk, and the heroes will come. Before leaving the city, Matt finally trusts Peter with his secret identity, then races to stop Kirsten from leaving town—only to miss her train as it explodes, pulling him into a nightmare orchestrated by the unnervingly calm Robert Goldman – a former college friend.  Goldman claims he's been shaping Matt's life all along, pushing him toward greatness through tragedy—revealing he may have caused Elektra's father's death and the train bombings to “reforge” Daredevil. Their rain-soaked clash ends with Goldman leaping away and turning himself in, while Matt reunites with a very much alive Kirsten, confessing his love but still keeping his true identity hidden.  Elektra and Stick establish a base near the Fist's origin, meanwhile Luke Cage stands his ground as mayor against the Stromwyns. Matt recruits Cole North for what's coming, learns the Hand is allied with the Stromwyns and the Punisher is now leading the Hand from Aka, a former mentor of Elektra's while she was in the Hand.   As the year ends, Matt and Elektra complete a brutal spiritual trial, defeating the lingering souls of the Hand. Stick seals the ceremony, declaring Matt and Elektra King and Queen of the reborn Fist as well as husband and wife—before calmly telling them, “Now let's get to work.”  This Week's Spotlight: Devil's Reign issues #1-6 from February 2022 to June 2022  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Oversaturation and poor quality led to comic book fatigue.

In this interview celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ultimate Spider-Man, legendary artist Mark Bagley reflects on his career from winning the Marvel Try-Out Book contest through defining runs on New Warriors, Amazing Spider-Man, Thunderbolts, and his iconic collaboration with Brian Michael Bendis on Ultimate Spider-Man. Mark discusses the creative rhythm of working with Bendis for 111 issues, redesigning Peter Parker for a new generation, the groundbreaking decompressed storytelling that influenced his layouts, and the emotional depth that set the series apart. We also get into what makes his renditions of Spider-Man, Venom, and Carnage resonate with audiences, how his artistic process has evolved over the years, and his pride in Ultimate Spider-Man's lasting impact on comics.

Marvel Studios ya no lanza pelotazos uno detrás de otro, pero sigue ofreciéndonos títulos que son ciertamente disfrutables, como esta THUNDERBOLTS* que, aunque juega a lo mismo que otros muchos títulos de juntar en un grupo a un puñado de personajes disfuncionales que venían siendo segundones, tiene su propia personalidad y por sí misma todo lo que debe tener uno de estos films para que le hagamos el debido caso. Hoy hablaremos de los cómics de Thunderbolts, contaremos cómo se originó todo esto editorialmente y, cuando nos metamos con la película a saco, hablaremos de toda su producción y analizaremos su trama. Junto a Rafa Pajis, Christian Presa, Agustín Amador y Antonio Runa atrévete a convertirte en un nuevo Vengador (aunque sabes que no, que ni éstos de la peli lo eran).

It had to happen. And now, it finally has. It's time for Paul and Al to bite the bullet and step into the squared circle to take on the Marvel's Most Merciless, the Masters of Mayhem, the Mush-Mangling Mavens of the Marquis of Queensbury, the... Thunderbolts?

Its the end of the Avengers/Thunderbolts crossover but will either team, or the Earth itself, survive it?  (Spoiler alert:  Yes, the Earth survives.)

Wallace Thornhill joins us on this night, and we discuss many facets of the Electric Universe Theory. Why it should be preferred over the current mainstream model, the proof for it, dismissing the Big Bang, Black Holes, Dark Matter, and much more. We talk of galaxies and stars, and what happened to Mars and Earth in the distant path. We talk of Velikovsky and Peratt. It is a fascinating journey. Wallace Thornhill graduated in Physics at Melbourne University in 1964 and began postgraduate studies with Prof. Victor Hopper's upper atmosphere research group. Before entering university, he had been inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky through his controversial best-selling book, Worlds in Collision. Wal experienced first-hand the indifference and sometimes hostility toward a radical challenge to mainstream science. He realized there is no career for a heretic in academia. Wal worked for 11 years with IBM Australia. The later years were spent in the prestigious IBM Systems Development Institute in Canberra, working on the first computer graphics system in Australia. He was the technical support for the computing facilities in the Research Schools at the Australian National University, which gave him excellent access to libraries and scientists there. Wal was initially heavily influenced by the then revolutionary ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky of Princeton. Velikovsky proposed that mankind had been devastated in the past by cosmological events . Wal took these ideas and with his deep knowledge of astronomy and, plasma physics began his own questioning of scientific dogma. Paramount was the place of electro magnetism, as distinct from gravity, in the formation of the universe . This slowly but surely led to his and other colleagues (such as David Talbot, Donald Scott, and Anthony Peratt) questioning such ingrained theories as the big bang, black holes and Einstein's theory of relativity. This group in particular contend that many scientific “proofs “are theory laden or mathematically concocted. An insistence on empirical data from observations and experiments gives their work true integrity.

Jessica Plummer returns for a year-end superhero ethics check-in—recorded late 2025 and released as 2026 gets underway—to unpack what worked, what didn't, and what Marvel and DC's biggest swings revealed about power, responsibility, and heroism.We talk Marvel's post-Endgame sprawl: scattered continuity, delayed payoffs, and what “superhero fatigue” looks like when it's less about quantity and more about momentum. We also dig into standout projects like Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four, and why individual entries can succeed even when the larger arc feels unclear.Then we shift to DC's early steps under James Gunn, including why Superman felt like a tonal reset, and what we're watching as 2026 brings Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the upcoming Green Lantern series, and Marvel's road to Doomsday.ResourcesJessica's work: Book Riot • JessicaPlummerWrites.comSword Stone Table: Penguin Random House**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Episode Summary Frank and Jonathan are officially back for 2026 after a hectic but fun holiday break, including the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party and a little self-awareness about how often podcasters say "you know." From there, they hand out their personal "best of 2025" picks across movies, TV, superhero projects, and games, plus run through the community poll winners. Then it's full speed into 2026 hype: a family-friendly movie calendar, the big "adult list" blockbusters (including the absolute chaos of Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 landing the same day), and the TV slate they're most excited to keep on the radar. They close with a spoiler-heavy talk on the Stranger Things finale and what the show stuck the landing on, especially character growth, the goodbye energy, and how cinematic the final battles felt. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome back, holiday break recap, and the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party 01:45 "Best of 2025" picks: movies, TV, and what surprised them 04:26 Superhero movie and superhero show poll results (plus some spicy takes) 10:16 Game of the year voting and falling back on comfort games 11:38 Best villain debate and why Pennywise took over the conversation 14:50 2026 family movie calendar (kid-friendly theater picks) 20:22 2026 blockbuster calendar: 28 Years Later, Project Hail Mary, Ready or Not 2, and more 26:43 The "event day" problem: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 on the same date 28:22 2026 TV hype: The Boys, Game of Thrones spin-offs, Star Trek, One Piece, Lanterns, and more 38:46 Stranger Things finale review: the goodbye, the battle, and what hit hardest 47:15 Dungeons and Dragons sidebar and why they need binders like Stranger Things 50:01 "Most cinematic finale" talk and the Abyss/Dimension X discussion Key Takeaways Sinners was Frank's clear movie of 2025, with major praise for the craft and the left-turn genre surprise. Superman won the community superhero movie vote, but Thunderbolts got real respect for performances and exceeding expectations. Andor is still the "tell your friends they're missing out" show, even if Stranger Things owned the bigger pop culture moment. The superhero show vote was tight, and the conversation around Daredevil: Born Again came with real critiques about structure and payoff. 2026 is stacked across both "take your kid to the movies" picks and big-ticket IMAX events. Stranger Things earned its goodbye, especially by bringing the focus back to friendship, growing up, and the reality that life moves on. Memorable Quotes "You realize how much you say 'you know' when you're podcasting." "It felt like a finale divided in two." "This is about friends and not just this big brand fight." "Don't let Disney brush it off. Watch it and enjoy this fresh idea from Marvel." "As much as they're saying bye to each other, they're saying bye to us as well." Poll and Discussion Highlights Mentioned Best superhero movie vote: Superman took the top spot (with Thunderbolts close behind in their personal debate). Best superhero show vote: Daredevil: Born Again edged out Peacemaker in a near tie. Game of the year vote: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out on top. Best villain talk: Pennywise (Welcome to Derry) dominated the conversation, with shout-outs to other standouts.

TMT makes his long-awaited return to chat with Bankole, Ebuka and Steve about Thunderbolts*, the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What makes the Jake Schreier film so special?

Thomas and Frank look back on the movies and TV that defined their 2025, from why Superman hit so hard to how Marvel's three-film run landed with Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Captain America: Brave New World. They also talk about the stuff that disappointed them, why TV felt like it "won" this year, and the shows they could not stop thinking about, including IT: Welcome to Derry, Alien: Earth, and Andor. To close it out, they shift into 2026 mode: what's got them genuinely excited again, which upcoming releases feel like "event" movies, and how they want to evolve Challenge Accepted next year by being more personal and more present on social. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 – Welcome back, what this episode covers (2025 favorites + 2026 hype) 00:33 – Thomas check-in and the newborn update 01:32 – The baby's first Marvel movie (yes, really) 03:31 – Quick run through the 2025 movie list 03:55 – Why Superman was the movie of the year 04:02 – F1 as the surprise hit 07:15 – What worked in Superman (comic-book storytelling and trusting the audience) 10:56 – "I needed that movie this year" 11:03 – Marvel's 2025 slate starts: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts 11:56 – Why Thunderbolts is the one that felt different 18:12 – Sinners and the hunger for original stories 22:25 – Weapons (and the conversation spirals into other watchlist picks) 24:56 – K-Pop Demon Hunters love and why it clicked 28:38 – Disappointments and missed watches, including Star Trek: Section 31 30:24 – "TV shows dominate" and why this year proved it 30:53 – TV highlights sprint: Welcome to Derry, Stranger Things, Daredevil, Alien: Earth, and more 32:04 – Andor praise and why the release format worked 35:01 – Frank's top TV list: Chief of War, Paradise, Player Base 36:03 – Alien: Earth reactions (including the ending debate) 37:08 – Next year's challenge (Fargo Season 4) 39:10 – Revisiting Marvel 2025: what each movie represents and what Marvel should learn 41:33 – The big disappointment: Chair Company (plus Ironheart) 45:03 – Quick plug: Survivor 49 coverage and Survivor 50 excitement 46:11 – 2026 hype begins: Supergirl and the DCU momentum 50:02 – The Odyssey and why it feels like an "event" movie 51:15 – Marvel needs to "earn" the hype again 52:51 – Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping and why it could be huge 53:16 – Rapid fire 2026 watchlist: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Project Hail Mary, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 55:01 – Why seeing Spider-Man filmed "for people" matters 55:55 – The Mandalorian and Grogu as a real theatrical Star Wars moment 57:54 – What they want to improve on Challenge Accepted next year 58:40 – Social media mindset: be natural, be present, stop over-polishing 59:52 – Outro + how to send in your challenge Key Takeaways Superman landed because it played like an actual comic-book story and trusted the audience to keep up. Marvel's 2025 trio felt like three different "versions" of the brand, and Thunderbolts was the one that showed the most heart and restraint. Sinners is a great example of why original stories can still feel like a must-watch cultural moment. 2025 was stacked for TV, and the list of standouts is honestly longer than most years' movie lists. Andor remains the gold standard for prestige franchise storytelling, and the release strategy helped it stick. 2026 looks like it could swing back to a movie-forward year with multiple "event" releases on the calendar. They want the show to feel more personal in 2026, including more natural social posts and more listener involvement. Quotes "Talking about you, some of our favorite movies and shows from 2025 and what we're hyped for in 2026." "Yeah it was I needed that movie this year. Like I needed it." "They gave a director a chance to tell their story." "Right now, welcome to dairy. Holy cow. These last couple episodes have been so damn fire." "It makes me cry that it's the finale." "You don't necessarily need to make a polished post." "It's for people, not just, you know, for box office numbers."

It's our annual year-end wrap-up spectacular!! We take a look back at 2025 - this year's conversation is packed with personal fandom highlights, expectations that were met (and wildly exceeded), and a few things that didn't quite live up to the hype. As always, the real joy of these episodes is revisiting the moments that made the year special—and it was even better doing it with friends. We were thrilled to welcome Bobby Robertson from Rebel Scum Con and Jenn Diz from the Disneyholics Podcast to share their own 2025 standouts and pop-culture takeaways. From conventions to theme parks, 2025 was a huge year for fandom experiences. We all attended a BRAND NEW theme park - Epic Universe!  Also, Rebel Scum Con stood out for its sense of community and the unmatched joy of staying right at the host hotel. We also dove into Universal's FanFest Nights, where the Back to the Future immersive experience completely stole the show, even for devoted Star Trek fans. On the screen, we debated what was overrated and underrated like Skeleton Crew, Fallout and Thunderbolts*. As we wrapped up the year, we reflected on what 2025 meant on a personal level: the shows we binged, the films that moved us, and the lessons we'd pass along to our younger selves. What lesson would you tell your 16-year-old self? Looking ahead to 2026, we're setting our sights on hosting even more convention panels, expanding our trivia game shows, and finally unveiling a very exciting, top-secret Star Wars project coming this fall. We can't wait to see where the next year takes us. SPONSORS Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

Gemeint sind damit unter anderem DER BRUTALIST, Eastwoods vermeintlicher Abschied JUROR #2, DIE ROSENSCHLACHT, SENTIMENTAL VALUE oder BABO – DIE HAFTBEFEHL-STORY.

On this episode, We are on Day 3!! We break down and review Thunderbolts. We also talk about the MCU and the state of movies. Hosted by Nero Von Doom aka Joe. Short and to the point!! This is We Family Son!!

Chegamos ao fim de 2025 com a sensação de que o cinema passou por um ano de ajustes decisivos. Entre retomadas, reavaliações e mudanças de rota, a indústria audiovisual parece ter entendido que repetir fórmulas já não garante o mesmo impacto. Este episódio propõe uma retrospectiva de um ano marcado menos por euforia e mais por reposicionamento: artístico, industrial e cultural.Ao longo da conversa, Rafael Arinelli, Edu Sacer e Claudio Gabriel, analisam como, após a recuperação iniciada em 2024, o cinema mundial passou a investir com mais cuidado em produções regionais, autorais e de nicho. O mercado global voltou a crescer, com aumento expressivo de público impulsionado sobretudo pela América Latina e pela Ásia. No Brasil, 2025 foi simbólico: pela primeira vez desde 2019, o cinema nacional ultrapassou a marca de 25 milhões de ingressos vendidos, mostrando diversidade estética e força em gêneros como terror, animação e filmes híbridos entre apelo popular e experimentação.Na no papo de retrospectiva também houve debate sobre o evidente desgaste dos grandes blockbusters, especialmente dos filmes de heróis. Títulos aguardados como Superman, Capitão América e Thunderbolts ficaram abaixo das expectativas, reforçando a percepção de saturação desse modelo. Em contraste, o topo das bilheterias foi ocupado por apostas mais seguras, como animações, remakes como Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia e o fenômeno chinês Ne Zha 2.Falamos ainda sobre o excesso de lançamentos nos streamings, a sensação de efemeridade do catálogo e como isso tem tornado o público — inclusive nós — mais seletivo na ida ao cinema. Para fechar, comentamos o Oscar de 2025, a histórica vitória brasileira em Melhor Filme Internacional e compartilhamos listas pessoais de destaques, surpresas e decepções do ano.Um episódio essencial de retrospectiva para entender o que 2025 revelou — e escondeu — sobre o presente e o futuro do cinema.• 03m49: Pauta Principal• 1h20m43: Plano Detalhe• 1h34m45: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

“Why are people obsessed with serial killers—and what does that say about us?” That's just one of the thought-provoking questions Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show.The crew dives into Wikipedia's Top 20 Most-Read Articles of 2025, and the list is as bizarre as it is fascinating. From MrBeast's internet dominance to Ed Gein's chilling Netflix resurgence, and even a surprise entry for the United States (yes, people Googled that), the conversation spirals into hilarious tangents about pop culture, movies, and why everyone suddenly cares about Thunderbolts and Superman.

Marvel gave us 8 different projects this past year. We had three movies, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four First Steps. Plus five shows, three animated ones with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda, and Mavel Zombies, and two live action shows Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart. So how do we rankt hem all and how similar are our rankings going to be? Thanks for listening to the podcast. If you are enjoying the podcast, please share it with your friends.

Al and Paul hit a major milestone this episode, as they reach the end of the first run of the original Thunderbolts team, and cover issues 72-75. There's fighting, arguments, and weird things exploding, and that's just the behind the scenes escapades of Bill Jemas. Will all the TBolts survive? Will they all get off Counter-Earth? Will they all make it to the next volume of the book? Find out the answers to two of these questions right here, true believer!

Chris shows up wearing a beanie and a tank top, which sends the entire show into a spiral before the intro even starts. Chase boots up his brand-new "Hewlett Packard" like he's time-traveling, and somehow ends up in the future. J defends the honor of his million-dollar closet. The guys battle over Amazon addictions, argue about discontinued foods like it's life or death, and roast each other nonstop while bouncing between Taco Bell nostalgia, movie reviews, and pure nonsense. Thunderbolts gets love, Jurassic World gets torched, and someone probably lies about their thermostat settings. It's unfiltered Cup to Cup energy: chaotic, dumb, and weirdly wholesome in its own way.

  Mike and Derek get together to discuss Thunderbolts #23 in our coverage of the ongoing series. Then in the second-half of the show the guys read Deadly Foes of Spider-Man#3 for a history lesson on why Abe Jenkins is going to jail for murder!

It's a special episode of Radio Cherry Bombe recorded live at our very first Jubilee L.A. conference this past September! Host Kerry Diamond sits down with two of the powerhouse women behind the hit series “The Bear:” showrunner and co-writer Joanna Calo and culinary producer Courtney Storer. Joanna has worked on “Hacks,” “BoJack Horseman,” and the Marvel film “Thunderbolts,” while Courtney—who started her career in HR at Whole Foods before cooking at beloved L.A. spots like Animal and Jon & Vinny's—brings real-world kitchen experience to the show. Together, they've helped create one of the most talked-about series on television, capturing the chaos, camaraderie, and heart of restaurant life like never before. The conversation is introduced by Kiano Moju, chef, recipe developer, and author of “AfriCali,” and Sarah Simms of Lady & Larder, the specialty shop she founded with her late sister, Boo Simms.Here's the link for Jubilee NYC 2026 tickets: https://cherrybombe.com/products/jubilee-nyc-2026 (ShopMy creators, you can turn this into a shoppable link!)Subscribe to our SubstackJubilee NYC 2026 tickets hereCheck out Cherry Bombe on ShopMyMore on Joanna: Instagram, “The Bear”More on Courtney: InstagramMore on Kerry: Instagram

We’re back on the Marvel movies with “Thunderbolts*”, a film that (to our surprise?) is not a nihilistic story about villains pretending to be heroes (see: Suicide Squad), but instead a story about some troubled not-quite-heroes learning that they can be better if they connect to other people and work on their own issues. But also with explosions and fights and stuff. Jason Snell with Lisa Schmeiser, Erika Ensign, Moisés Chiullán and Glenn Fleishman.
