Over the weekend I had a chance to catch some movies from the 80s that I’ve always enjoyed but haven’t watched in awhile. It’s only been maybe a year or so, not too long, but for some reason I noticed a lot more when I watched this time around. And it wasn’t all good.

Best Geeky Finds – Baymax Returns with Power
His story may have been a bit like Batman, but the story was all Marvel. After Hiro Hamada’s brother Tadashi dies in an explosion caused by an evil scientific mastermind, he uses his brother’s large inflatable health aid and his friends to fight crime and find the kabuki mask-wearing villain. That’s what happened in 2014 in Disney’s blockbuster Big Hero 6.

Then we get into Justice League, with a spoilery discussion about what we thought was good, what needed fixing and whether it’s worth seeing. Listen now!

Comics Cosmos – Make Them Pay, Frank
If you’re into comics, especially of the street level, not necessarily super hero variety, you’ve heard of Punisher. You may even have watched some (or all) of the new Netflix series. Everyone knows the storyline is dark and full of violence, but not everyone knows the character or motivations that, even though in a comic book setting, make some kind of sense.
