X-Men TAS: The Phoenix Saga [Bottle Cap Review]

If you grew up in the 90's, you probably watched The X-Men Animated Series. If you never did, the eff is wrong with you?
The Phoenix Saga was a 5 episode stretch that was pulled from the comic books arc which lasted MUCH longer... Take a dive with the Weapons to see if it was or is worth a couple of cold ones.

#24 - The Oddest Villains You've Probably Never Heard Of

Villains range from cool to badass to cheesy. But these guys? This lot we touch on in this episode are downright out of left field.
And it's great. And you've never heard of them.. Probably. A follow up to our episode 15 about odd heroes, this is all about their odd AF counterparts: the baddies. Sit back, grab a drink and try to enjoy. Things are about to get weird.

#23 - Heroes (Phase) 4 Hire

Soooooo Phase 4 rolled out at SDCC a few weeks ago, and we have yet to talk about it. This week, that is exactly what we're doing: predicting and planning on what we hope to see for each and every announcement made at SDCC, and where the MCU will be headed.Tune in and join Coke and Dank on the fun of predicting on what's to come.

Justice League Crisis on Two Earths [Bottle Cap Review]

The Justice League vs The Crime Syndicate.A group of super-powered individuals who have the same powers as the Justice League, but with a drastically different approach to how they go about their business. Ever imagine what it would be like if the Justice League we know were actually villainous? Well, imagine no more.

Batman/Superman Public Enemies [Bottle Cap Review]

Two thirds of the Holy Trinity are on the run from the government, and President Luthor won't be pleased until the bounty on their heads has been completed. Batman and Superman have to fight their way through waves of DC characters on their way to Lex, the source of their headaches this time around. That, and a "pregnant" meteor.

Justice League The New Frontier [Bottle Cap Review]

The animated flick to start them all (I think we can all look past Superman: Doomsday), this is The New Frontier! Stylized, kind of weird and a lot of personality, this is the first animated Justice League movie to be pushed out, starting off a stream of others to follow. We pop the caps and give a little review to how we feel about this flick, it's pros and cons - join along.

#22 - Superman is Dead

The superhero of superheroes. The one, the only: Superman... is dead.
That's right, this episode we're going through the different portrayals of how Supes bit the dust. Promised to you back during our 3 part DC Animated Movies discussions, here it is: the comic event of the 90's. It was a huge deal back then, and no other event since has quite captured the energy (or rage) that this one did.
Included in this episode, we talk about the comic event The Death of Superman, as well as the animated films Superman: Doomsday, The Death of Superman and The Rise of the Supermen.

Superman vs The Elite [Bottle Cap Review]

Great Superman stories are difficult to come by - he's a hard character to write a compelling story for because his weaknesses are limited. Superman vs The Elite poses an interesting situation for Superman to mull over - one that has to do with his very core: his values. What happens, Superman, when the public begins to believe that you aren't enough?
Fucking dope, right?

Gargoyles The Movie [Bottle Cap Review]

If you grew up in the 90's, and you somehow missed the existence of this show (which is highly doubtful), then you are missing out big time. Arguably the most underrated and beloved animated show of that era, the first 5 episodes were put out as a direct-to flick. We cover it here in our first official Bottle Cap Review.
