Who's talking
- Sean Fennessey (host): Loves films that are sincere, meta and inventive, and praises vocal performance and rap on a soundtrack. Quick to dismiss the generic superhero origin slog and the lowered bar of Aquaman. A sucker for comic-book feel and a good casting parlor game.
- Micah Peters (guest): Deep comics knowledge and loves characters, representation that doesn't feel preachy, and the act of seeing yourself on screen. Fond of hip-hop and silly gags like Spider Pig. Skeptical of Marvel swaps that revert and of the Avengers continuity burden.
The show's recurring bits
- Drafts: Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument.
- Hall of Fame: A star's or director's best, ranked and argued.
- Countdowns: Ranked lists, top five or top ten.
