Cinematic Universe
Cinematic Universe is a podcast all about superhero and comic book movies and TV. Each episode, we look at one movie or show and find out more about the comics behind the screen. Along the way we run through the latest news across the genre, recommend related reading to explore, and pitch our not-always-entirely-serious ideas for future superhero films. From Iron Man to The Dark Knight, from Scott Pilgrim to Spider-Man, from The Incredibles to Howard the Duck, everything across the entire cinematic universe is in our sights. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episodes
Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Ryan Coogler's 2025 movie, SINNERS. As soon as we can agree who's hosing the episode. This is an all-Sinners episode because it was recorded soon after our Ghost Dog chat AND there's a lot in this movie to think about. That said, to be completely honest if you don't like talk about spitting I would probably skip this one.
You can hear this and many other episodes ad-free on our Patreon!

Rhys, James and Joe are back with our customary look back over the previous year, in which we re-litigate our favourite picks, award our best (and worst) accolades, and ask the serious question: isn't Alien going to clean up all of these?

Rhys, James and Joe are back! Well, technically we never went away but it's all been happening over on the Patreon where we've covered Agatha All Along, The Penguin, Joker: Folie a Deux and Kraven - but we're finally back on the free feed to discuss Ridley Scott's 2000 movie, GLADIATOR. There's also the usual news and what's good sections but if you're only interested in the movie you can find that at 1h 30m.

Joe, James and Rhys take a look at Ridley Scott's ALIEN (1979) starring Sigourney Weaver (and a giant nightmare creature from beyond the stars). The hit that spawned a franchise, does it hold up? (Yes, it does).
We also cover the Olympics (really), My Neighbour Totoro, Mars Express, the Spider-Man rereleases, some movies of 1986, Trap, and a bunch of news out of D23. (Apologies for Rhys's audio quality towards the end - he didn'...

Joe, James and Rhys take a look at Ernst Lubitsch's 1933 polyamory romcom, Design for Living, based (very loosely) on a Noel Coward play. And for those who prefer stuff released this century, we also have a big old chat about Fallout and the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer!

James, Rhys and Joe take a look at Randall Park's directorial debut, 2023's Shortcomings - which actually is based on an Adrian Tomine comic and therefore could have been a reviewed under the old format, but that's what happens when you ask James what he wants to talk about. PLUS: chat about Coyote Vs. Acme, Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe, and True Detective.

Joe, James and Rhys begin a new era for the podcast, looking at Yorgos Lanthimos' 2023 movie, Poor Things - a movie that stars the Green Goblin, Gwen Stacy and the Incredible Hulk.
