The Review at the End of the Universe
Another month has gone by containing a lot of nerdy news and trailers. In our regular monthly feature we round up the highlights and -sometimes- lowlights of the nerdy news cycle. The discussion covers long delayed sequels, Young Adult adaptations and whether there’s any hope for Hayden Chistensen. Craig can be found on this very…
A mere 42 years to go until the big day so as always Kneel Before Pod is here with a celebratory discussion. This year we discuss Star Trek: Insurrection to ask the important questions such as does a beardless Jonathan Frakes resemble British presenter Dale Winton? Is this film the inspiration for Carpool Karaoke? and…
“Power Broker” The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has the characters look up an old enemy as they search for answers to the mystery of the recent appearance of Super Soldiers. One theme this show covers that I didn’t catch in an earlier review is consequences. The entire show is built around the idea that…
The MonsterVerse delivers the one on one brawl we’ve all been waiting for in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla Vs. Kong. On the surface the Monstererse should be great. It tells stories about iconic Japanese monsters such as Godzilla and uses state of the art visual effects to render them in detail beyond the imagination of those…
“Fear Me” The Flash brings in an adversary that can force people to be confronted with their greatest fear as the team figure out how to deal with the recent Killer Frost development. Fear is a powerful tool in fiction whether that be creating it in the audience or informing the characters through having them…
“Rebirth” Supergirl returns for its sixth and final season with a continuation of the Leviathan plot as well as Lex Luthor’s plan for domination. Similar to The Flash, the previous season of this show was forced to end prematurely due to COVID preventing the completion of filming. All things considered I felt that the unintended…
The Expanse Season 5 has aired on Amazon Prime, the crew have digested it and now have thoughts and questions. How far can you jump in space? What happened to the whiskey? Or was it tequila? What’s his name again? Aaron can be found on this very site. Kat can be found on Twitter and elsewhere under here. Chris…
“Rule #1” Batwoman introduces a new threat as the characters pick up the pieces from the apparent death of Kate Kane. There’s very much a transitional quality to this episode following the resolution of the Coryana plot along with the search for Kate Kane in the previous episode. Ultimately the search proved fruitless as Kate…
“The Star Spangled Man” The Falcon and The Winter Soldier brings the two leads together on a mission as the new Captain America makes his debut. Introducing a new Captain America at the end of the previous episode was a cliffhanger I found underwhelming because it was delivered as a shock reveal that was somewhat…
“Central City Strong” The Flash focuses on rebuilding and refocusing after recent events have impacted everyone in uniquely significant ways. This being an action adventure driven superhero series means that by design it’s set up for the characters to deal with constant difficult situations. Every week there’s a problem to solve and every season there’s…
