SuperHero Homies!

• Fixing Bad Superhero Movies | How We’d Save Spider-Man 3, Dark Phoenix & More!

  The SuperHero Homies are back — and this week, we’re doing what Hollywood couldn’t: fixing bad superhero movies! From Superman Returns to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, we take on some of the most disappointing comic book films ever made and reimagine them with just a few smart changes. But first, we kick things off with a 30-minute cold open packed with gaming and pop culture talk! We discuss which games might win Video Game of the Year (with Expedition 33 as a top contender), why live service games usually fail, and whether politics belong in art and entertainment. We dive deep into how storytelling, messaging, and creative freedom shape the worlds we love — from comics to cinema. Then it’s time to fix some bad superhero movies — with three simple rules: 1️⃣ The movie must stay in its cinematic universe timeline (no reshuffling releases). 2️⃣ You can’t remove actors, directors, or characters — but you can add new ones. 3️⃣ The core premise must stay the same — no total reboots. With those limits in place, we prove that even within Hollywood’s restrictions, these movies could’ve been way better. We share how we’d improve character arcs, pacing, tone, and storytelling in Superman Returns, X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man 3, and more!

• Gen V Season 2 Finale Explained | Setting the Stage for The Boys Season 5

  The SuperHero Homies are back to break down Gen V Season 2 — Amazon Prime’s hit The Boys spin-off that’s full of blood, satire, and super-powered chaos! In this episode, we review the final four episodes of Gen V and discuss how the season connects to The Boys Season 5 and the larger Vought universe. Before diving into the main discussion, we open with a 30-minute cold open covering all things pop culture and comics! We start with Absolute Batman Annual #1, where Batman beats up Nazis and white supremacists — which only makes us love this run even more. We also share our thoughts on new releases like Weapons, Bring Her Back, Welcome to Derry, and House Full of Dynamite. Plus, we talk about the upcoming Outer Worlds 2 video game and why Swamp Thing is the perfect gothic horror comic to revisit this Halloween season. Once we dive into Gen V, we discuss everything from standout characters like Cipher (aka Godolkin) and Polarity, to the show’s deeper flaws — including its increasing reliance on tired superhero tropes and tone-deaf storytelling. We explore the highs, lows, and missed potential of this season while predicting what might come next in The Boys Season 5.

• Doomsday Clock Review | The Watchmen & Superman Crossover DC Actually Nailed!

  The SuperHero Homies are diving deep into DC’s Doomsday Clock, the ambitious pseudo-sequel to Watchmen written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Gary Frank. This 12-issue DC Comics epic brings together two of the most iconic worlds in comic history — Watchmen and the DC Universe — as Superman and Doctor Manhattan finally collide in one of the most fascinating superhero stories ever told. In this spoiler-filled Doomsday Clock review, we break down the major events, character arcs, and themes of this story. We discuss how the book pays homage to Alan Moore’s Watchmen while carving out its own identity within the modern DC mythos. We also analyze the deeper meaning behind the Superman and Dr. Manhattan dynamic, the artwork’s incredible attention to detail, and why this story feels like a fitting continuation to one of the most legendary comics ever made. Before diving into the review, we kick things off with a cold open covering the potential WB Discovery buyout, what it could mean for James Gunn’s DCU, and the new Xbox console announcement (and Game Pass controversy).

• Peacemaker Season 2 Review | Hilarious Moments, Weak Storytelling & Missed Potential

  The SuperHero Homies are back with our full review of the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale, titled “Full Nelson.” In this spoiler-filled discussion, we break down everything from the episode’s emotional moments to its uneven storytelling. After a season filled with short runtimes, filler episodes, and a shaky narrative, the finale unfortunately doesn’t stick the landing. We discuss how Peacemaker Season 2 struggles to capture the magic of Season 1, but still manages to deliver laugh-out-loud humor, heartfelt character beats, and surprising emotional depth. From John Cena’s performance to the show’s wild tone, we analyze what worked — and what absolutely didn’t — in the DCU’s most unpredictable series. Despite our disappointment, we give credit where it’s due and talk about how Peacemaker can still find redemption if renewed for a third season.
