Big Hero 6 (2014)

Mar 29 2025 71 mins

Time to take a quick detour into yet another movie that most don't associate with Marvel. Despite being part of Disney theatrical animated features, Big Hero 6 does indeed come from the comic world. To what extent is discussed on the show. Following up Disney's Frozen was no small feat either. How did this colorful futuristic superhero tale fare for our three hosts? Listen in and

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Mar 21 2025 84 mins

While a sequel to Kick-Ass wasn't the unlikeliest occurrence, losing director Matthew Vaughn did create some concern. They also lost Nicolas Cage but gained an actor of similar stature in Jim Carrey. What they didn't plan on was for the later to walk back his involvement as the movie was about to come out. Did he have a point or was this sequel just as good as the original? Come b

Kick-Ass (2010)

Mar 14 2025 89 mins

After a few weeks of Marvel that the boys would love to forget, one thing is for sure about Kick Ass. It’s at least competent filmmaking. Or is it? Join Matt, Garrett, and Adam as they dive into director Matthew Vaughn’s controversial 2010 1st entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Does the gang think the controversy is warranted? Does Kick Ass still hold up? Just downloa

Man-Thing (2005)

Mar 08 2025 69 mins

As the boys continue tredging through their Miscellaneous Marvel characters, this week they have run into a doozy. Man Thing is a character who hung out with Howard The Duck in the comics. But other than that, there’s not much identification with him apart from being a side show character made up right around the time DC’s Swamp Thing made its first appearance. So who better t

Doctor Mordrid (1992)

Feb 28 2025 56 mins

Full Moon Entertainment and comic book films are two subjects that fit together like a round peg in a square hole. After all, Full Moon was known for schlocky horror properties like the killer doll series Puppet Master, the vampire series Subspecies, and many others. So why the hell would studio head Charles Band try taking on the Marvel property Doctor Strange only to switch gears

Howard the Duck (1986)

Feb 23 2025 93 mins

For years, the three of us have been asked when we were going to start covering Marvel films. After all, we did the two big DC characters over the span of a couple years. Why, in the years that we’ve been together, and Marvel has gone from being on top of the world to being just another Disney acquisition, have we not also dived right into the Marvel page to screen adaptations?

Transformers One (2024)

Feb 14 2025 66 mins

Well, we were going to get to it eventually. When Transformers One was released in the fall of 2024, we at Percolated Media were up to our eyes in Stephen King and Beetlejuice retrospectives. Garrett and Matt wanted to wait until the schedule was in between retros before finally reviewing the latest fighting robots film, this one directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4). They weren�

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)

Feb 07 2025 83 mins

By the time 1998 rolled around, everyone involved in the Lethal Weapon franchise were on to other things. Most notably star Mel Gibson, whose directorial effort Braveheart had won multiple Oscars three years before. You’d think it would have taken an almost perfect script to reunite everyone for a fourth and final(?) installment of the bread and butter franchise that set up their

Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)

Feb 02 2025 72 mins

After Lethal Weapon 2 came out and became the third highest grossing film of that year, producers wanted more. So Jeffrey Boam, along with his buddy Robert Mark Kamen (The Karate Kid) once again churned out a script, director Richard Donner came aboard, and everything was one big happy shoot! Of course, this isn’t the whole story. So download the show below to find out how Lethal

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Jan 24 2025 76 mins

As we’ve already covered at other times on this podcast, 1989 was a golden year for film, specifically the action genre. Since we already reviewed Batman (1989) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), it is now time to cover that year’s third place box office winner, Lethal Weapon 2. Franchises weren’t really a thing yet, but after the splash the first Lethal Weapon m
