Things in Rushville come to a head as Hal tries to take down the Manhunter all by himself. Meanwhile, John and Zoe get to know each other a little better just before all hell breaks loose. Then we’re back to the present day as the plot picks up again when John’s mother brings Hal back into his life.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We’re taking a breather from Lanterns this week to cover Spider-Man: Brand New Day. When we left Peter Parker he’d had Doctor Strange erase the memory of him from all of his friends and loved ones. Can Peter cope with his isolation and lonliness without become something he’d never want to be? With a little love from his pal Frank Castle maybe things will work out.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

After a strong opening couple of episodes Lanterns takes us back in time a little to see how wee John Stewart grew up. We do not, in any way, support this method of raising a child. Even one destined to do goofy things with a fancy alient ring. With that behind us we’re back in 2016 as John & Hal close in on the Manhunter and find themselves in a sketchy situation.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

After weeks of superhero cartoons we’ve moved on to HBO’s Lanterns series. A couple of space-cops with a magic ring that can make anything they imagine manifest before them in physical form set out to solve the mystery behind a mass shooting at football stadium in Nebraska. That’s the pitch. Is it a good show? Yes. You should watch it. But also listen to us talk about it.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

This week Q takes us to Battle World on My Adventures With Superman. Once that gets sorted out we’re up against the Big Bad. Can Clark get his powers back? Will our gang save the day? Are they going to stick the landing of this fun and unexpectedly thoughtful show?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We wrap out our coverage of X-Men ‘97 Season 2 this week. Thankfully, nothing bad happens to our favourite characters. They mostly spend their time playing super-powered basketball and lounging by the pool.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We’re off to outer space this week with the new Supergirl movie. Kara is out on a bender when adventure calls. Krypto, her super-dog, gets poisoned by generic space-baddies and she sets off on a quest to both cure Krypto and her own sense of malaise. Read along to find out what we think of it all.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

This week Dan is on assignment and John and Guy are left to fend for themselves. We’re back covering My Adventures with Superman and, hoo boy, does the Man of Steel get his metal tested in this set of episodes. After that we do a little Superhero Sweep and call it a day after not being able to remember anyone’s name.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We ain’t in Kansas anymore, bub! Our attention returns to the next three episode of X-Men ‘97 where we finish up the Rise of Apolocypse arc. spend some time with the Stab Squad, and then visit the Holodeck where things go as you’d expect. Then, in our Super Hero Sweep segment, we discuss the Avengers: Doomsday tailer.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

This week we hop-universes and find ourselves back in Metroplis for season three of My Adventures with Superman. Clark and pals are back as a bunch of Superman-esque types start to appear. It’s a bunch of good fun and laughs and, with any luck, there won’t have a Gambit crossover.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Time travel! We’re going back to ‘97 to rejoin our X-Men, who find themselves separated and trapped in the past and in the future. In ancient Egypt a nacent Apocalypse is just starting to find his strength while in the future his grip on the world is cemented. Meanwhile, in the ’90s, X-Force and X-Factor are being dicks to each other and to everyone else. Can nostalgia carry the day? Read along to find out!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Our Spider Noir adventure comes to an end as our characters congregate for a high-stakes Book Club at the Black Cat Club.

Will Robbie get his big scoop? Will Cat land on her feet? Read along to find out how we’ve applied our rigorous Biff Rating system to Spider Noir. Complete Biff Ratings at: https://biffratings.com

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Drink a lot of water and be in a safe space when you watch these episodes of Spider-Noir. Ol’ Ben Reily is flashing back to his past and he’s trippin’ balls and curling up in bed. On top of all of that an old friend appears to fit us for a suit of deliciously acted fun.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We’re back with The Spider, see? This dame is makin’ poor Ben’s heart go all pitter-patter while he’s findin’ out his past still has its meat-hooks on him. We covering episodes three & four of Spider-Noir this week and we sprinkle on a little sweep at the end.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

If you’re doing it right the world is shades of gray. In this episode of Biff we’re off to a universe where Nick Cage is The Spider, a hard-boiled detective and washed out ex-super-hero. His latest case goes sideways and things escalate quickly as he finds himself stuck in a web of someone else’s making.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Frank Castle is back and he’s seen John Wick. After locking up his guns for a few hours Frank is thrust back into the murder-spree lifestyle once it is revealed that Angela has been the boss all along. Is this an origin story of The Punisher as the anti-hero from the comics rather than a guy just out for revenge? Can Chekhov’s Daughter encourage some sort of MIrror Moltz Doctorine? Read along with our latest ep to find out!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Being mayor of New York City is back-breaking work and Wilson FIsk is ready for a little beach vacation after all that’s happened. It’s the season two finale of Daredevil and we’ve cracked open the law books to follow along with all the courtroom drama as Matt faces off with The Kingpin.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Things start to come together as Karen gets her day in court, Dex is given a good deed to do, and Daniel makes some tough decisions. Can Fisk maintain control of New York and Red Hook while spiraling out of control? Can Matt do what Daredevil can’t? Can Johnny Dollar ever look at a hot dog again? Find out on this week’s episode of Biff!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In the aftermath of Bulleye’s attack on the Fisk familly an old friend of Matt’s shows up to put an end to the gun problem in Star City. Bibi and Daniel spend a little time together for his birthday while Matt pays Wilson a visit to offer his condolences. Dan is away this week but we’re confident he’d have loved this episode.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

On this episode of Daredevil we interleave flashbacks with the ongoing story to learn a little more about our characters and what is motivating them to make the choices they’re making. Is Daredevil a better Arrow than Arrow?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

The gloves come off this week as Fisk steps into the ring to do some heavy hitting charity work, Matt does some detective work to track down Dex, and Dex steals the show. Put on your bibs because this one we’re dining out on diner lobster.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

With the second season of Daredevil underway things start to fall into place. The efforts to remove the Northern Star from the harbour collide with our gang’s efforts to spring the people the Anti-Vigilante Task Force has taken into custody. Meanwhile, Dex is going around Dexing people. Did these episodes have the flurish of a Jack Duquense or the ungainly handling of an armoured car?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Daredevil is back and he’s got a sinking feeling something fishy is going down in the East River. The second season of Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again returns as we find WIlson Fisk (AKA Kingpin) as Mayor of New York City and, as you might expect, he’s up to no good. But how’s the show itself? We let you know.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

This week we cover the 2003 movie Daredevil. Starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and Colin Farrell. A movie with enough Dutch angles to build a city of windmills. After we get through that we talk about the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

After we panned the first Ghost Rider movie last week The Rider Strikes Back and is actually kind of better? This time Johnny Blaze is hanging out in Europe for some reason when he’s contacted by Stringer Bell and adventure rides again. Is this Molt’z new favorite movie after Thor: The Dark World? Read along to find out!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In this episode we judge Ghost Rider starring Nick Cage, Eva Mendes, and Dan’s BFF. We stared into it’s eyes and you’ll have to listen to learn if we burnt it or if it burnt us.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In the final two episodes of Marvel’s “Wonder Man,” our heroes Simon and Trevor have an explosive falling out, shattering all of Simon’s dreams. The only way for them to overcome their adversity is to become true giants. Which they both do in their own ways.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Things are starting to heat up for Simon and Trevor as they find themselves embroiled in some classic misunderstanding hijinx. It’s out of the frying pan and into the audition for our mismatched thespian pals as we cover episodes 5 and 6 of Marvel’s Wonder Man. Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we have a chat about the upcoming Spider-Noir starring none other than Nick Cage himself.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Simon is back and this time he’s off to Pacoima for his mother’s birthday party with Trevor in tow. We cover another couple of episodes of Marvel’s Wonder Man show which continues to make strong choices and is really opening doors for some terrific actors.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

The entire run of Marvel’s new Wonder Man show dropped all at once but like conscientious casting directors we’re going to work through them all slowly and give each the time it deserves. This week we’re coving the first two episodes which introduce us to our hero, Simon Williams, and his shady new mentor Trevor Slattery.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

With Dan away John and Guy get together to have a little chat about the upcoming Wonder Man show. Following that they dust off their Star City High letterman jackets and head off into the far future of the Arrowverse timeline.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

What we assume is the first rash of trailers for the upcoming Doomsday Marvel Mega Event has just dropped so we’re on the case like Plastic Man. Captain America, Thor, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Wakanda report for the adversiting roll call. Read along to find out what we think.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Up up and away to the bars amoung the stars! A teaser trailer for Supergirl was recently released and Team Biff is here to chat about it. We also get into some superhero sweep and try to remember how to do the show.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

The Peacemaker gang is back and after having saved the world last season they’re doing about as well as you’d expect. Not great. This week we discuss season two of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Can his pechant for dancing on a knive’s edge pay off again? Or will we end up with Mirror Universe Gunn?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

It’s a spooky special edition of Biff! where we venture forth into a world of zombies and superheroes. In a four episode animated adventure we follow a rag tag band of survivors as they try to find a cure for the zombie plague that has engulfed their world. So, you know, pretty standard fare. Is there meat on these bones? Read along to find out what we think.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

On this episode we pull a bit of a Time Travelling Dad and jump way back thousands of years to learn the stories of some Wakanda’s famous War Dogs. From the Sea Peoples to the 20th century each episode takes a slice of history and explores through the eyes of a Wakandan agent out to keep the secret and power of vibranium from falling into the wrong hands.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

When a gang of misfits find themselves at the bottom of a deep hole they learn to support each other so they can all climb out. Also, they’re all dealing mental health issues but I’m pretty sure that’s metaphorically unrelated. We’re back with Bucky, Yolena, Mad Cap, and super-friends for Thunderbolts*! A Marvel movie with a message of mutual love and care in the face of an all consuming dark void.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Forth time’s a charm? The Fantastic Four are back on the big screen and they’re better than ever! We’re off to the lovely universe of Earth-828. A place just brimming with Silver Age charm where you’ll find Moleman, intelligent super-apes, our family of heroes and a hungry Galactus. Pop this episode into your face-tape-player and join us for a cosmic ride full of heart.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

You’ll believe a man can be good. Superman is back, Lois! And this time he’s not Space Jesus. He’s a good man trying to do the best he can in a world more complicated than this hero was created to address. Still, he perseveres and inspires others to do their best too. This version of Superman isn’t without flaws. Neither in the character nor the film. But, gosh, is it sincere. Can’t get much more punk than sincerity.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Meet us down at the crossroads but put yourself in a circle of salt first because we’re coving the last three episodes of Ironheart. An intriguing show that you’d thnik whould puts magic up against technology but, instead, goes full Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with it. It even adds a bit of spice in the charming form of Sacha Baron Cohen.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

A little late due to travel and holiday plans but we’re here with our coverage of the first three episode of Marvel’s Ironheart. We pick up with Riri Williams at MIT and things go off the rails from there as she finds herself embroiled in a life of “fun crime with whacky characters” which, it turns out, isn’t all fun and games. There’s some interesting themes brewing under the sufrace here, some highs and lows, and we’re prompted to ask the question—is Han Solo a weenie?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Batman Begins has turned twenty years old so we chat about how superhero movies have changed over that time. We end up dipping into self-indulgent origin stories for our friendships. Then we cover a couple of recent trailers for Ironheart and Superman.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In an episode that gets dangerously close to the three of us just shooting the breeze we cover some Superhero News that’s been floating around. Casting news for Vision Quest, Eyes of Wakanda, and Black Panther 3. We glue it all together inexpertly by calling out to every other random entertainment fact we can think of.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Sam Wilson is back as Captain America with his trusty sidekick Joaquin Torres a.k.a The Falcon. It’s up to them to go rogue and tie up plotlines littered all over the MCU by movies they had nothing to do with. Amid highened international tensions President Ross is keeping a dark secret you couldn’t have guessed unless you’d seen the poster on the way into the cinema.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In Marvel’s second modern attempt at a Hulk movie our big green guy is back played by a different actor and with a decidedly different aesthetic. Is this HULK a smash hit? Find out as we go back in the archives to cover the unlikely prequel to Captain America: Brave New World.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We’re back with another Giant Sized Superhero Sweep. On the docket this week is the new trailer for Superman, Peacemaker seaon 2, Ironheart, and Spider-Noir. It’s chock full of superheroes!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

We didn’t forget about Comic Books so this week we’re doing a Book Club. We cover the run of New Avengers that reintroduces The Sentry to the Marvel comic universe. A celebrated comic run of a hero lost to all history and then remembered and reborn.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Daredevil: Born Again wraps up this week with a whole lot more fight, fight, fight than you might expect from a guy who just got shot in the chest. Matt is crushed as Fisk’s plan to consolidate power in the city comes to a head. With the help of an old friend or two he comes to grips with the new reality and buckles down for what’s going to be an even bigger fight to come. In our Superhero Sweep segment we cover the latest trailer for The Fanstatic Four: First Steps! They look like big ones!

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Everyone has difficulties this week as things come to a head. Guy is on vacation and suffers an almost fatal audio loss while in the show our characters come together for a striking dance number. We’re treated to a big reveal for a mystery that was right in front of us but one we’d assumed wasn’t even a mystery. Matt spirals as his relationships with both Heather and Fisk collide at the Black & White ball. Like Matt taking a brutal beating and getting up to keep fighting we bring you our chat about “Isle of Joy”.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Just in the nick of time we’re back to cover episode seven of Daredevil: Born Again. After last week’s showdown in the sewers Matt must track down and stop a serial killer before he strikes again. Did this episode stick a three point hero landing or could it have done with a muse to inspire something a little more daring?

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.
