Shazam: Fury of the Gods is among us!  Did you know that Shazam used to be called Captain Marvel? Ok that's a fairly well known fact.  However, you know what's not well known at all?  This Shazam TV show from the 70s: a mix of afterschool PSAs and superhero "action".  Let's watch!

Let's morph one last time as we visit the 2017 reboot, Power Rangers!  The ambitious gritty adaptation maybe bit more off than it could chew, and not enough people were willing to give it a chance.  Let's get into it!   

It's another lightning round on Keep or Cancel , so we're talking about Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Banks, Dacre Montgomery, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin, Naomi Scott and Latin pop star, Becky G.

AYE AYE AYE!  We have made a major exception to include media franchises that launched comics and also recently discovered that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers also launched a comic in 1993.  So, it is with great pleasure that I say, IT'S MORPHIN TIME!

On this Keep or Cancel , we're talking about the late great, Jason David Frank.

ALERT! Quick! We have to do this movie ASAP, because DC will be making a proper sequel to it, therefore nullifying it as a "failed or forgotten movie"!  No worry, we jumped on it.  Constantine is a great little religious fiction, and specific nugget of its era.  Rewatch before the sequel comes out!

On this Keep or Cancel , we're reviewing the legendary career of Keanu Reeves!

It's finally time for the Hulk movie with Thor in it!  The one we were supposed to cover near Thor: Love and Thunder's release but c'est la vie, the show must go on!  This is the third TV movie in Bill Bixby's The Incredible Hulk series, and the first of the three reunion movies to come after 5 seasons of the show and a 6 year hiatus.  Each of these was intended to serve as a backdoor pilot for new Marvel shows,...

Full transparency, we recorded this two months ago.  The idea was to match the next film with Thor and the final two with She-Hulk and Daredevil's appearance so half of that worked out.  This is the second adventure in Bill Bixby's The Incredible Hulk series.  This second TV movie pilot was split into two episodes so it's sometimes listed as episodes 2-3, or 1-2, or sometimes one full movie so read the descriptions w...
