The Review at the End of the Universe
An orphaned teenager gains the ability to become an adult superhero from a dying Wizard in David F. Sandberg’s Shazam! Warner Brothers have been working tirelessly to salvage the DC movie franchise after several critical and financial disappointments. It was clear their grim and joyless approach wasn’t working but steps have been taken to correct that…
San Diego Comic-Con has closed its doors for another year so Kneel Before Pod has to pick up the pieces. A panel of nerds come in from the blistering Edinburgh sun to discuss the news and footage seen for some of their upcoming favourite things. Craig can be found on this very site, Andrew’s work…
For this edition of Kneel Before Pod, myself (Craig), Angus, Natalie and Aaron all got together to talk about the popular concept of Shared Universes and how well we think those work. The discussion brought us onto several different things that can be found in the show notes below: Show Notes The non canon Star…
Suicide Squad is a film that was seen and reviewed by yours truly (Craig) but there was a lot more that had to be said about it so me and Kat teamed up to have a discussion about it and get the whole thing out of our system. Kat is a first time contributor to…
The DC Extended Universe continues with David Ayer’s villain team-up Suicide Squad.

On the surface this sounds like an amazing idea. Getting…
“Son of Superman Part Two” DC’s excellent Rebirth stories continue with the second issue of Superman. Unfortunately I was too busy to review issue 1 so hopefully I can make up for that with this one. This issue continues what was established in the previous one with the new Superman’s son, Jonathan starting to develop…
Gotham season 2 is almost upon us so it’s a good time to revisit season 1 and reflect on it as a whole before the second season starts doing its thing. This is a very tough show to talk about because there was so much going on while there was so little going on so…
“All Happy Families Are Alike” It’s finally done, Gotham season 1 comes to an end after several torturous months of missed opportunities. The gang war comes to a serious head as Fish Mooney returns to take advantage of the situation. It’s been known for a while that Jada Pinkett Smith would not be returning for…
“The Anvil or the Hammer” Only one more Gotham episode after this one for season 1 and the Ogre/Barbara plot is brought to a definitive close. It appears that I was a little too kind on Gotham last week when I expressed how impressed I was by how the show was handling the Ogre and…
“Under the Knife” A mere 2 episodes left of the first season of Gotham after this one and I’m still no closer to figuring out what the point of this season has been. This show has tossed a lot of things into the mix but never really capitalised on any of them. Some promise existed…
