Mike and special guest Rhys investigate the character Superman. They discuss what makes the character great, how writing for the character can be difficult, and how the character has been portrayed in live action. Just don't mention his mother's name.

Mike and Jim get animated (well, Jim gets more animated) as they discuss two DC animated movies: Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) and Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans (2019).
This episode also begins and ends with a discussion about animation, more specifically comicbook/superhero animation, and why, even though it may be perceived by many this way, it’s not just for kids.

In this episode, it’s more like the Hater and the Hater. Mike and Jim, for the first time ever, both have very few positive things to say during a movie review, as they discuss the highly hyped 2019 film The Joker.
WARNING: Episode contains spoilers for a film currently in theaters, and occasional strong language (Jim says f*ck a lot—he’s not sorry).

In this episode of the Fanboy and the Hater, we review the 2019 DC movie Shazam! In a rare twist, Jim gets to play the role of Fanboy, while Mike’s Hater mainly takes issue with the movie’s many cliches, tropes, and lazy writing.
(Fun Fact: Most of this episode comes from the first thing we ever recorded for this podcast as a proof of concept, so . . . some aspects of the audio quality aren’t our best.)
