| 6/24/26 |  189 Men in Black II with Megan Coleman and Liz Whitaker | 189 - Men in Black II with Megan Coleman and Liz WhitakerThe Men in Black are back! This episode of Reel Comic Heroes dives into Men in Black II, the 2002 sequel that reunited Agents J and K for another extraterrestrial adventure. When a dangerous alien known as Serleena threatens Earth and the coveted Light of Zartha, Agent J must bring his former partner out of retirement and back into the secret organization that polices the galaxy's most unusual visitors.Joining us are Liz Whitaker (Mean Girls Minute) and Megan Coleman (MASH Minute) to discuss the film's blend of sci-fi action and comedy, the chemistry between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, memorable alien designs, and whether the sequel lives up to the success of the original Men in Black. From talking pugs and locker-sized civilizations to neuralyzers and intergalactic conspiracies, we explore what works, what doesn't, and where Men in Black II fits in the larger franchise.Grab your shades, keep an eye on the stars, and remember: the truth is out there—but the Men in Black would prefer you forget it.Guest PlugsHear Megan over on MASH Minute@meggzcharm on Instagram and TwitterGoogle or visit your local public library!

| 5/21/25 |  179 Jurassic Park III | 179 - Jurassic Park III Hold onto your butts! This week on Reel Comic Heroes, we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, avian-infested world of Jurassic Park III. Join Travis and Patrick as they dissect the questionable parenting decisions, the surprisingly effective Alan Grant survival tips, and the sheer absurdity of a talking raptor dream sequence. Was this a worthy sequel or a prehistoric misstep? We'll debate the dino-sized plot holes, the surprisingly engaging action, and whether Tea Leoni's screaming could shatter glass. We'll discuss the introduction of new dinosaurs, the pacing of the plot, and whether the film successfully captured the wonder and terror of its predecessors.

| 4/30/25 |  178 Josie and the Pussycats with Niall McGowan | 178 - Josie & The Pussycats with Niall McGowan In this episode, we're strumming the power chords of early 2000s pop culture with the glittering, satirical cult classic Josie & The Pussycats! Joining us is none other than Niall McGowan, co-host of Bat Minute and a connoisseur of all things comic and cinematic. Together, we dive into the neon-drenched world of Josie, Melody, and Val as they rocket from small-town dreamers to unwitting pop pawns in a plot to brainwash teens. We explore the film's razor-sharp (and still shockingly relevant) commentary on consumerism, the music industry, and branding overload, all while appreciating the infectious soundtrack that still slaps today. Niall brings his signature wit and deep pop culture knowledge to unpack the film's surprising comic roots, its place in early-2000s cinema, and why Josie & The Pussycats deserves way more love than it got on its original release. So slap on your cat ears, crank up the volume, and join us as we celebrate one of the most delightfully subversive "bubblegum" movies ever made!

| 4/10/25 |  177 Monkeybone | Get ready for a wild, surreal ride through the twisted corridors of early-2000s cinema as the Reel Comic Heroes crew dives headfirst into Monkeybone—a film that's part dark fantasy, part slapstick comedy, and entirely confusing. In this episode, we unpack the strange journey of cartoonist Stu Miley (Brendan Fraser), who finds himself trapped in a bizarre limbo world filled with oddball creatures, bad decisions, and one very horny monkey. We'll explore the film's chaotic tone, the surprisingly impressive creature design by Stan Winston Studio, and ask the big questions—like "Who exactly was this movie for?" and "Was Hollywood just... okay with this?" We also look at director Henry Selick's jump from The Nightmare Before Christmas to Monkeybone, and how the film's troubled production and studio meddling might've buried its potential. Expect laughs, bewilderment, and a healthy dose of 2000s nostalgia (and regret). Spoiler warning: monkey business ahead.

| 3/26/25 |  176 Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker with Alex Thompson Forte | 176 - Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker with Alex Thompson-Forte In this episode of Reel Comic Heroes, we dive into the animated classic Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Hosts Travis and Patrick are joined by special guest Alex Thompson-Forte to unravel the dark and thrilling story that brings the Clown Prince of Crime back to terrorize Neo-Gotham. Together, they discuss the film's intense action, its shocking twists, and how it pushes the boundaries of what we expect from a Batman animated feature. From Mark Hamill's chilling performance as the Joker to the evolution of Terry McGinnis as Gotham's new protector, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and plenty of Bat-fan nostalgia. Join us as we explore the legacy of Batman Beyond, the impact of this unforgettable movie, and whether Return of the Joker still holds up today.

In this episode of Reel Comic Heroes, we dive into the movie that helped launch the modern era of superhero films, X-Men (2000). Directed by Bryan Singer and featuring an all-star cast, this film brought Marvel's beloved mutants to the big screen in a way that changed comic book adaptations forever. Joining us for this discussion is the fantastic Adam Sheehan, a longtime X-Men fan and all-around pop culture aficionado. We break down the film's impact, its faithfulness to the comics, and the performances of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and the rest of the team. Plus, we discuss what worked, what didn't, and how X-Men helped pave the way for the explosion of superhero cinema in the years that followed. Whether you're a die-hard X-Men fan or just revisiting this classic, we've got plenty to discuss.

Welcome back to Reel Comic Heroes—the podcast where we take a deep dive into the best (and sometimes worst) action-packed, comic-inspired, and downright legendary films. Today, we're tackling a sequel that cranked up the stunts, slow motion, and doves—Mission: Impossible II. Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, but this time, John Woo is in the director's chair, bringing his signature style of over-the-top action, intense face-offs, and, of course, some gravity-defying motorcycle chases. But does this sequel live up to the impossible standard set by the first film, or does it self-destruct in a blaze of fire and techno music? Our returning guests are George Hendricks and Jonathan Howell. Strap in, put on your best disguises, and let's talk Mission: Impossible II.
