JJ and his amazing friend Jason are here to chew bubblegum and talk on mics. And it’s gross to talk on mics with gum. Yes, it is true that that movie quote loses something in the change, but hey they can’t all be winners, eh? Well, the truth is the guys are here to talk about a few recent pop culture news items, but before they get there…well, it involves The Crow, and strange items to grill up for the holidays and other odd paths of thought. You’re welcome.

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Fever and JJ Hawkins.

This month we return to the world of the X-Men with Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men First Class. Aaron has gone on the record as not being that fond of Fassbender’s American accent, stating it goes a bit Irish in parts. Is that a dealbreaker? What does JJ think of the whole shibang?

Nazi hunting, brogue having, Magneto. Slainte.

So, Cyclops, when you need to open your optic visor, just touch the side…like this.

Seriously, I am KEVIN BACON! My career has spanned decades, and I can’t get a helmet that doesn’t give me a PIGGY NOSE?!?! What the hell!

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Fever and JJ Hawkins.

This month we go freakin ZANY!!!!! It is the second podcast of the year, it is the second Superman film we have studied, and WE ARE WATCHING TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SAME MOVIE! That’s right, I am watching the theatrical cut of the film, and Aaron is watching the more recent Donner cut. Is one better than the other? Do either of them hold up to scrutiny? Will either of us KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!?!

Its time for a little truth, justice and the American way!

I think that the production designer for the 90’s learned everything from these guys. Stark lighting, black clothing, and shiny leather accents. Yep, that’s the 90’s all right.

not sure which is the weirdest power in this movie, the “SUPER S”

Or Villian finger beams! FINGER BEAMS?!?!

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Fever and JJ Hawkins.

This month we We take a look at the second of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series The Dark Knight. Widely thought of as the greatest comic movie of all time, our heroes have been somewhat reticent to take on this one. But eventually, fears must be faced, and although this may not be the commentary you want, it is the one you need…

You will believe a man can turn his head!

And although Heath Ledger is undoubtedly the stand out performance in this movie…

DO NOT underestimate the power of Eckhart and his dimple!

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Fever and JJ Hawkins.

This month we We take a look at DC/Wildstorm comics Red. This one was requested to us by listener Jason Ritter, and we thank him very much. As we state many times in this one, it is easily the “Best. Episode. Ever.” Where else will you get such insight as which member of the “Brat Pack” is best suited to replace John Malkovich?

Dig the crazy blue threads, Mr Freeman! It actually makes the bag look sane.

I AM THE LAW! No, seriously, we call him Dredd through the whole thing, so get used to it now.

I get it, Hellen Mirren looks bad ass with a gun, but I swear, this movie could put a kid through college with the budget on bullets.

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Poole and JJ Hawkins. This month we We take a look at Edgar Wright’s film Scott Pilgrim a film that both hosts believe to be a perfect film. If you want Edger Wright hate, this is not your place to look this month. Nope. So, if nothing else, this episode should serve as a great excuse to watch this one again…and again.

Seven different shades of evil. Looks like one hell of a party to me, no?

Just this one still image shows how dynamic this film looks. In fact, I am not going to fill this post with pictures, just watch the film already!

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Poole and JJ Hawkins. This month we look at the second tale of Tony Stark in Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 2. While not as popular as the first, this film is still beloved here in the halls of DOOM tower and we attempt to figure out what every one has against this film, anyway.

A film that dares to show foodstuffs larger than the hero!

a film that DARES to give the world back Gary Shandling…

Several choices to drink along this month. First off, you may feel compelled to take a sip whenever our duo break out into a certain Black Sabbath song. Second, you may even go along with the early suggestion that you take a sip each time our heroes talk of the amazing Sam Rockwell. However, I am guessing the real Drive-In devotees will want to have something at hand for every time the guys start talking about that damned bird…

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Poole and JJ Hawkins. This month we look at Richard Donner’s 1978 take on Superman, starring Christoper Reeve. This episode had a few technical issues, but nothing that should ruin the experience for you. Just know that we are a determined bunch here at the Drive In Of Doom! and will stop at nothing to get your podcast done right…or something that sounds all heroic and stuff.

Admit it, just seeing one image…you hear the music. I know you do.

Just show you that unlike last month’s episode, this one comes with actual acting!

Okay everyone, join in with me and inform Aaron this is a dress, not a nightgown.

If you want to drink, take one every time Aaron and JJ hum the theme. (or so they thought. This is the choice is you want to remember the evening) OR when Aaron and JJ disagree about a certain television show starring Mr. Dean Cain…

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Poole and JJ Hawkins. This month we look at the second of Sam Rami’s Spider-Man trilogy, that’s right…Spider-Man 2. Aaron legendarily hates this movie and JJ considers it one of his favorites. Who is right? Who is wrong? Does either manage to sway the other? How long can I keep this series of short questions going?

I’ll bet there was a drinking game to this month’s episode, but let’s face it…I was drinking heavily when I was recording it. So, listen in and find out what that drinking game may have been. Next month, I’ll take notes or something.

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Poole and JJ Hawkins. This month we look at the adaptation of Alan Moore’s V For Vendetta. Yes, this is our fifth Drive In. Yes, this movie is obsessed with fives and the Roman Numeral V. No, we did not do it on purpose, but when we saw it was happening we decided to run with it. This is our first foray into the non super hero movie, and I think we learned a bit while doing so…

…which leads to this month’s drinking game. (we don’t do these on purpose, they just seem to happen) Whenever Aaron and JJ get distracted by something and start talking wildly off subject, take a drink. I suggest a small one, as this may or may not happen a lot. ( I mean A LOT. Really. As in, man this movie has a lot of scenes where people are talking and what the heck do you say about that) Maybe take two every time we get the lyrics wrong to a certain British pop anthem. You don’t really need to be awake for the end of this sucker, do you? Drink responsibly…to the extreme!
