In this supersized spoiler chat, we debate whether the one two punch of Thunderbolts* and Daredevil : Born Again represents “Marvel’s Greatest Comeback.” Ed and Producer Bill ask, can these street level heroes and super spies cement the new foundation for the Fantastic Doomsdays to come? Is Daredevil great, wildly uneven, or both? Are the Thunderbolts* really able to replace the Avengers? Listen to us try to figure it out babay!!

The Reboot Crew is back! After a 4 year hiatus, the internet's favorite development team has landed a new gig with one of Hollywood's most controversial figures: David Zaslav. Their first assignment: a whole new take on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith....and ONLY Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! With Episodes 1, 2, and 4-9 staying intact, the Reboot it Crew will have to work within the tightest constraints they've ever had. We all know Anakin Skywalker will turn into Darth Vader, but how we get there is about to look a whole lot different!

“Our Greatest Reboots” features the gang reunited, including Billy Business of Hot Takes with Billy Biz and the YouTube Channel “Reboot It”! By the way, our sister show “Reboot It” is coming back. In this primer episode of The Greatest Pod, we discuss the “art” of the reboot, if such a thing exists. Also, much of this episode is looking back on OUR best reboots on the channel. Some real life reboots that were made during our hiatus were pretty similar to “our” imaginary versions. Barbie is in the same genre and nearly the same tone as our He-man Pitch. Our episode about The Universal Monster is maybe our most popular piece but the Blumhouse Universal monster movies are hit and miss so far. Are we better than Leigh Whannell? NO. But it’s interesting how often we think like the best of the big boys. Overall this conversation asks almost, what evolutionary purpose is there to reinterpret stories this much. Is our present proclivity to remake rather than create stunting that evolution? Reboots are gonna happen. We’re trying to use our powers for good. Is that possible? Find out every week on Reboot It coming this summer back to YouTube. Link below!

In fictional universes somebody has to break the news. “The Greatest ‘Fake News’” is Ed, Ron and Producer Bill imagining what the media landscapes are in two of the most popular fictional universes. Why are superheroes attracted to the news? How intense would the politicization of Superman be? What jobs would you pick if you knew certain “the real deal” about the universe you lived in? Would you be a henchman? In this economy? Would people in superhero universes be even more sick of the tights, capes and lack of consequences than we seem to be in our world? What does the “triumph of the human will” mean in a world of demigods on TV? This one gets philosophical but remains pretty damn funny throughout. Dive in.

"The Greatest Superheroes That Aren't” is our crew, Ed, Ron, and Professor Bill, dissecting those movies and TV shows that center on someone with a superpower but nobody admits it! All types of heroic stories from Commando to Colombo feature heroes with superior powers that must fight unbeatable odds and we discuss these characters comparing and contrasting them with conventional super heroic fare.

“The Greatest Pasts” features the whole crew talking about period pieces from our iconoclastic perspectives. We don’t go gaga when you put a few period cars in the shot and have everybody say “gee whiz”, it takes more than that to get us feeling like we’re in the past. We discuss our favorite examples in this banger of an ep.

*This is the last one where Ed’s audio is a bit bad because he was visiting his mom in the south and didn’t take his podcasting equipment. He and we are back babay!!

“The Greatest Futures” is mostly Ed and Ron trying to not talk about the dystopia we currently live in and failing BUT we do touch on some of the greatest futures in pop culture.

From Star Trek to Total Recall we examine how fictional futures dramatize the concerns of the present. We discuss how we’d fare in certain futures like being blood boys in Mad Max, or what virtual pleasures we would or would not partake in if we were living in certain futures. What parts of these fictional futures have already invaded our present. Enjoy.

The companion episode to this will be on our Patreon by the time you hear this. And the Patreon art should be in the mail. We back babay!

“The Greatest Cops In Fiction Part Two” is us continuing to build our portfolio of powerhouse porcine patrolmen.This one features some great pulls by the gang and more specific examples of what we consider exemplary cops in fiction. Our personal philosophy is that there’s a difference between action fantasy heroes with badges versus actual police people in good stories.This ep has us defending our positions and having some big laughs about some of the most compelling characters in fiction.
