In this special bonus podcast, Blake and Jesse try out a new type of episode. This time, we discuss the film slate Marvel showcased as its first phase in a shared cinematic universe. This is pre-Marvel Studios so a number of these films either didn't get made or were reworked into the actual MCU we'd see kick off with Jon Favreau's Iron Man (2008). For a visualized listening experience, check out the full video on the Film Banana Y...
This week Blake and Jesse talk James Gunn's acclaimed Superman reboot starring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, and more. This film serves as the theatrical debut of the new DCU and marks a long needed win for both DC live action adaptations and Warner Bros.
In this episode of Film Banana, Blake and Jesse share a immediately post-viewing discussion of Kevin Smith's 1997 religious comedy, Dogma. Celebrate 25 years of one the 90's most beloved underground comedies.
This week Blake and Jesse discuss Kevin Smith's rom-com-esque Chasing Amy (1997). Though it a slight departure from his first two films, Chasing Amy manages to bring the same level of off-the-wall comedy as its predecessors.
This week Blake and Jesse discuss the now 50 year old Jaws (1975), arguably Spielberg's best film.
This week, Blake and Jesse discuss Kevin Smith's 1995 cult classic 'Mall Rats'

Join us for the first episode we ever recorded for a rather lengthy discussion on And Lee’s divisive Hulk (2003). Watching this film served as a fun reminder of what live action comic book adaptations were like before the MCU and the divisive idea of a cinematic universe.
