After the discussion, we rank all the comic book movies we watched this month and reveal the final results.

This week on Big Trouble Little Podcast, the crew dives into Superman (1978), the film that helped define the modern superhero movie. Starring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, and Marlon Brando, this classic comic book adaptation set the standard for superhero films for decades. We break down why Christopher Reeve is still considered the definitive Superman, discuss the differences between Clark Kent and Superman as characters, and debate whether Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor works as the villain in this version of the story. The conversation also explores the film’s campy tone, John Williams’ legendary score, and that infamous time-reversal ending that still divides fans today. Is Superman (1978) still the best Superman movie, or have newer films like Man of Steel and modern comic book adaptations surpassed it? In the post-credit segment, we talk about what we’ve been watching and playing lately, including Superman (2025), Weapons, Resident Evil 9, Formula 1 Australia, Gundam, and more. Next week we wrap up Cape Shit Month with the ultimate 90s comic book movie: Spawn (1997).

This week on Big Trouble and Little Podcast, the crew reviews Hellboy (2004) directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman as the iconic comic book hero.

We also talk about the film’s biggest weakness—the villain—and how the movie still works despite it. The discussion dives into the supporting cast including John Hurt, Doug Jones, and Jeffrey Tambor, along with del Toro’s signature visual style and the dark fantasy tone that makes the movie stand out among early 2000s comic book films. After the review, the conversation goes everywhere: Hellboy sequels, Superman (1978), Disney movies, My Dinner with Andre, Fallout 4, Happy Gilmore 2, Gundam, Resident Evil, and more.

This month we’re ranking early “cape” comic book movies — the weird ones, the stylish ones, the ones that hit before the MCU turned everything into a cinematic factory line. First up: Constantine (2005). We talk Keanu’s chain-smoking demon-deporter energy, the movie’s killer casting (Rachel Weisz, Tilda Swinton), why the vibes are immaculate even when the plot is… doing side quests, and why Lucifer absolutely steals the show in the final stretch. Plus: Spear of Destiny lore, Hell Bible nonsense (affectionate), the cross shotgun debate, and why this movie feels like one giant AMV with a budget. Next episode: Hellboy (2004) — Guillermo del Toro, Ron Perlman, and pure monster-movie comic book goodness.

We debate whether the movie sabotages its own Earth storyline early, unpack the Czech/Soviet-futurism aesthetic, rate Sandler’s performance, and argue the big question: is Hanush real? Then it’s catch-up time: Ace Combat addictions, Falling Skies chaos, Starfield updates, trading card collecting pain, and a depressing movie marathon featuring The Road and Interstellar emotional damage.

Adam Sandler Month begins with Pixels (2015)—a movie we thought we would hate… and somehow didn’t. In this episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Chaz, Joe Dubs, and Zach dive into Adam Sandler’s video game invasion comedy Pixels, breaking down why it’s contrived, dumb, lowest-common-denominator… yet still oddly entertaining. We debate whether Pixels is a guilty pleasure or just plain bad, argue over Peter Dinklage’s performance, laugh (sometimes shamefully) at jokes that feel like they escaped from a better movie, and unpack the film’s heavy ’80s arcade nostalgia featuring Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, and more. Topics include: Adam Sandler’s career arc and why critics turned on himWhy Pixels feels like a “greasy cheeseburger” movieThe best and worst uses of video game fanservicePac-Man in New York, the Donkey Kong finale, and Cubert discourseWhy some “bad movies” are still worth watchingPlus, the crew shares what they’ve been watching, playing, and obsessing over—including speedrunning, retro games, anime, and more. 🎬 Next episode: Spaceman — a very different Adam Sandler movie.

This week, the crew breaks down “They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar”, a melancholic tale of burnout, memory, and midlife crisis, and “Pickman’s Model”, a full-blown H.P. Lovecraft–inspired horror story that delivers real monsters and eerie atmosphere. We debate whether Tim Riley’s Bar truly earns its ending, dive into the Lovecraftian themes behind Pickman’s Model, laugh at Night Gallery’s bizarre mini-segments, and lock in our final rankings for the entire anthology month.

Big Trouble in Little Podcast is back — with a new intro, new energy, and a deep dive into the Twilight Zone. This January tradition continues as the hosts explore three classic episodes centered on one unavoidable theme: inevitability. Growing up. Aging. Death. And the quiet dread of becoming someone you don’t recognize anymore. We break down: Walking Distance — the pain of nostalgia and the impossibility of returning to childhoodNothing in the Dark — fear of death, fear of the unknown, and what it really means to let goNumber 12 Looks Just Like You — conformity, beauty, identity, and a disturbingly cheerful dystopiaAlong the way, we argue about AI-generated music, six-fingered hands, antidepressant futures, banned books, plastic surgery, societal pressure, and whether being forgotten is worse than dying. We also pivot into Night Gallery, question modern culture’s obsession with happiness, and accidentally turn a Twilight Zone discussion into an existential therapy session. Same show. New spark.
