Superhuman Registration Podcast

I Find God a Bit Wordy

It’s one of John’s favorite stories on the block tonight! You might say it’s given him a bit of a... “Messiah Complex”? Get it? It’s because they all read Messiah Complex, right?

Oh, whatever. The boys had fun talking about it, and you’ll have fun listening in. We guarantee.

Captcha for Dogs

This week, John discovers the magical world of body pillows, Stephen gets way too excited over the Cats trailer, and Aldo voices some controversial Pokémon opinions. Plus, nobody likes Hank Pym. We take a look at Domino (2018) and Ultron Unlimited (1999).

Super-powered Jesus Allegories

Our Phase 4 celebration episode doesn’t have enough Shang-Chi. But we still get a good luck at some other peripheral Marvel characters in Heroes for Hire and The Eternals. Plus, we’ve got our usual free-range nonsense.

Hit Him In The Paranoia

We’re jumping in the middle of a couple of stories this week - from the galaxy-spanning War Of Kings to the Jane Foster era of Mighty Thor. Come for the literary mash-ups, stay for the awkward anatomy lessons.

We HAVE Real Life

It’s a Hollywood director special here at the Superhuman Registration Podcast, where we read and rank notable stories from both Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith. So... trigger warning for sexual assault, I guess?

Man, this episode gets heavy.

We Built This City On Dougnut’s Back

Paternity leaves are over, which means it’s time for another episode of the Superhuman Registration Podcast! We take a look at the birth of the MCU’s Tony Stark as we tackle the Extremis story arc. Plus, Moon Knight! Who is he? What does he want? No, seriously, who the crap is he?

Fill-In Issue: Justin Ponsor

John’s taking the time to get to know his new family, so Stephen’s filling in with a quick spotlight on the late, great Justin Ponsor.

Magik: The Gathering

Alternative title: Mansplainin’ Feminism.  It’s a giant-sized episode as we tackle the granddaddy of all X-Men stories, the Dark Phoenix Saga! And it turns out there’s a movie coming out this week! What a crazy coincidence, right?

Then, we tackle a one-shot What If? story featuring everyone’s favorite Russian demon child, Magik. It’s a surprisingly good read, but just how good? And just how surprising?

We Have Four Good Memes, Stephen!

A couple of lower-profile stories crossed our desk this time, and boy were they surprising! First up we have Warren Ellis’s Karnak series, a “lighthearted” “romp” through “cynicism” and “psychological trauma” (what do you mean I’m using scare quotes wrong?). Then, we have the 2005 miniseries The New Warriors, which provokes an interesting discussion on just how funny monkeys actually are.

My Bed Is Buttered - One Year Anniversary Special!

We’re celebrating our one-year anniversary of ranking comics by taking a BREAK from ranking comics and heading to the movies. Avengers: Endgame is out, we’ve all seen it, and we want to talk about it! We also take some time to talk to each other and find out more about our comics history, which... well, it just confirms exactly how much we all love Spider-Man.
