Why Haven't We Done a Versus Episode? Aug 17, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes pit hero against hero, POTUS against a god and Batman against a man with a bat all while wondering why we haven’t done a versus episode? We look at the inherent problems of wailing away at a cripple with a hammer, the benefits of having your own bowling alley and how a human sized ant could ride a bicycle. Jackson gives up trying to train Chewbacca, Zammit steals rules from the Weekly Planet Podcast and Duscher just wants to know who’s the best sidekick. It’s a free for all battle royale as we find out who’s the best there is at what they do, and sometimes what they do is to serve a bunch of other people.Want to help fund a fight between the Rock and an actual rock?

What is the Best Fictional Universe to Live In Again? Aug 10, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes still don’t care that it’s bigger on the inside, aren’t impressed with how many parsecs you made the Kessel Run in and don’t want to deal with that mutant problem on Earth 616 because there are better fictional universes to live in. We look at the ethics of mind control, the potential problems that arise when body switching and the responsibility of owning pets at such a young age. Jackson decides on Freaky Friday, Zammit inevitably turns to Star Wars, and Duscher just surprises us all with Pokemon.

Is Gotham better than Metropolis? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Jul 27, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes scour through the Gotham Gazette, flick through the Daily Planet and start chatting to some locals to see if they’d rather live in Gotham or Metropolis. We look at each city’s rogue gallery, the likely collateral damage that would inevitably take place and the level of corruption of the local police department amongst other things. Jackson’s late for work again no matter where he goes, James would rather risk a building fall on him than live out in the boonies and Zammit just wants to buy some milk without getting mugged. It’s a gamble where no one’s the winner where we find the ideal place to settle down and raise our kids.Want to help superheroes learn about mortgages?

Why is Robocop not a Volunteer Program? Jul 20, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes join the DCP, get slaughtered on the job and have our lifeless corpses turned into half robots, half mans and all cops. We look at how important our dicks are, reminisce about that one robot that commits suicide in the second film (maybe?), and imagine an aged Robocop going through Alzheimer’s. Jackson points out that robotics and cybernetics are two completely different schools of science, Zammit doesn't understand why they don't use remote controlled ED-209s, and Duscher just forgives the film for any minor or major flaw because Robocop. So say goodbye to your human existence, choof off all those superfluous body parts and shoot a rapist in the dick because either way, dead or alive, you're coming with me.Want to help Robocop regain his humanity and more importantly, his penis?

Why doesn't Batman Kill the Joker? Jul 13, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes live through another mass escape from Arkham, stock up on bottled water as Gotham’s water supply has been poisoned again and watch the news for potential Joker gas threats as they wonder why Batman doesn’t just kill the Joker? We look at all the bad things Joker has done, a sure fire way to get out of having to vote ever again and review Arkham’s revolving door policy. Jackson is Grant Morrison against his will, Zammit just assumes it’s all the Bat-Demon’s fault and Duscher just wants to keep reminding people of the Killing Joke. It's a criminally good time as we remember that Batman doesn't kill for a reason (anymore) and is probably having too much fun dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.Want to help fund Jackson’s quest to prove he isn’t Grant Morrison?

Are Xenomorphs a Bad Weapon? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Jul 06, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes crash land on an alien planet, splash around in some black goo, and end up host to a parasitic alien as we ask if xenomorphs a good weapon? We attempt to decipher Prometheus, wonder what would happen if a facehugger impregnated a xenomorph, and explore the almost certain possibility of the existence of space gorillas. Zammit likens xenomorphs to pandas, James is amazed that xenomorphs happened twice, and Jackson just wants to talk about his Mogwai/Xenomorph theory. So avoid touching any mysterious eggs, don’t pet the snake alien, avoid thinking too hard about Prometheus, and try to figure out what the hell is going on. We’re not in space, so everyone can hear you scream.Want to help Blomkamp make a less confusing alien film?

The Concerns of Fictional HR Departments (Feat. Ray Lawrence) Jun 29, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes use proper conflict resolution techniques, try to adhere to strict workplace guidelines and policies but end up submitting a written complaint anyway as they wonder what the real problems fictional HR departments have to deal with. We look at the requirements for being Batman’s butler, wonder what the orcs actually wanted in Lord of the Rings, and ask if Rocky I-VI is racist. Zammit wants to know what a marriage counsellor equivalent for Superhero teams is, Duscher tries to figure out how the world can get behind the Avengers when they're always infighting, and Ray just wants to know if James Bond could get away with it all if he was an insurance salesman. So call a press conference, put a positive spin on all your problems and awkwardly make a forced apology without getting everyone fired and/or imprisoned.Want to help hire a HR guy for Sanspants?

What is Your Batman Villain Theme? Jun 22, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes turn to their inner demons, poison the water supply and cackle manically while wondering what villainous theme they would take if they lived in Gotham City. We look at saving developing countries from starvation, going to university to study fire and the best way to recruit henchmen. Jackson has a fascination with beef, Duscher is confused about how being born works and Zammit just wants to throw coins at Batman and hassle his grapes. So cower in terror at the villains who weren’t invited to knightfall, line up to have your chance to break the Bat and stick around for the inevitable dark and gritty 90s reboot. It’s confusingly evil and somewhat incompetent. Want to help people succumb to the influence of the demon bat?

Why Doesn't Clark Kent Get a Job? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Jun 15, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes help our dad around the farm and try to minimise their parents crippling debt by taking on a job while wondering why that Kent kid doesn’t help out his folks but instead sits around all day, mopes about girl problems and eats pop-tarts. We look at Clark’s diamond making potential, his possible career as a delivery man for literally everywhere and if Batman has ever lent him the Bat credit card. Jackson wants to know if the JLA is a cushy government job, James thinks every live action version of Superman is wrong, Zammit proclaims that Pa Kent is the problem and Duscher just wants you to listen to his side-podcast; Sad People I Know. So find an abandoned baby in the woods, consider raising it as your own and join us for one of the most convoluted comparison we’ve ever come up with. By the end of the episode you too will be wondering if the Fires Out?Want to help the Kents because Superman won’t?
