052 The Avengers (aka Marvel's Avengers Assemble)
September 10, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBIan and Iain assemble their thoughts on The Avengers (2012) also known as Marvel's Avengers Assemble in the UK (to avoid confusion with a TV series from the 1960's that they thought people assume was showing at cinemas for some reason). To accompany it, they're reading The Ultimates by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, so Ian can prove, once and for all, how little of the MCU is taken from those comics. Also WHYBUTL? returns for some brief discussion about the Planet of the Apes series, Spiderhea...

They say manners maketh man, but can man maketh good movie? Will the Millarisms get to Ian, like they did with Wanted? and how do The Golden Circle and The King's Man stack up? All of these questions and more may or may not be answered within! Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @bec...
047 Thor: Ragnarok
July 02, 2022 23:00 - 52 minutes - 36 MBIan and Iain discuss Thor: Ragnarok (2017) in a desperate attempt to appear up-to-date whilst watching things that literally came out years ago. To accompany the previous Thor film (in preparation for the upcoming Thor film) we’re reading Planet Hulk by Greg Pak and Carlo Pagulayan, a comic in which Thor barely appears. Nailed it!

June 18, 2022 23:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBIan and Iain are going back to school as they enroll in the Umbrella Academy for a crash course in Season One of the Netflix show and the first volume of the comic book "Apocalypse Suite".

Together they break-down the characters, discuss revisiting TV shows and also talk The Boys Presents: Diabolical, complete with quasi-Australian/Cockney accents that'd make Dick Van Dyke proud. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or t...
044 (Judge) Dredd
May 21, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBIan and Iain are joined by John (from the Hugo Award nominated podcast Octothorpe) to bring law and order back to Mega City One with an iron fist and casual conversation about Dredd (2012) and Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 03. John is brought to task about his views on The Losers, The Old Guard, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, The Raid and Tolstoy before discussion turns to Des O'Conner Block, Boat arrests, and Walter the Wobot. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other...
043 Doctor Strange
May 07, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MBIan and Iain prepare to enter the Multiverse of Madness by paying a visit to the good doctor. This episode, they're discussing Marvel's Doctor Strange (2016) and Doctor Strange: The Oath by Brian K Vaughan and Marcos Martin, but will they like them or will they find them a bit... odd? Also on the menu (apart from the usual overstuffing of eggs) is some first impressions and general chit-chat about Moon Knight. Laters 'gators. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other epis...
042 Wanted
April 23, 2022 23:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBIan and Iain are 50% riddled with COVID but that won't stop them from wanging on about Wanted (2008) and the comic book miniseries it's loosely based on by Mark Millar & J G Jones. Strong opinions are shared before discussion turns to Peacemaker, IT (Parts 1 & 2), Death on the Nile, The Bubble, Moonfall, and (once again) Supernatural. Content Warning: Discussion of themes and events present in the comic book, including racism, ableism and sexual assault. Send your thoughts, questions and c...
041 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
April 09, 2022 23:00 - 45 minutes - 30.9 MBIan and Iain are your hosts in a half-shell for this exploration into 21st century Turtle Power. Bad decisions may have been made when they chose not-Michael Bay's (but totally Michael Bay's) 2014 movie, but what will they think of the IDW comic run from around the same time? As well as the general waffle, they're also discussing product placement, favourite turtles and pizza based Buzzfeed quizzes. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to becometheteapot@hot...
040 The New Mutants
March 27, 2022 00:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBIan and Iain may be locked in combat for your soul, but they're in full agreement about the quality of The New Mutants (2020). Will this newfound harmony carryover into their discussion of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz's Demon Bear Saga? Probably not, but listen anyway to find out. Also, as they've both finally got around to watching The Batman, feast your ears on some bonus spoiler-free bat chat. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to becometheteap...
039 The Losers
March 13, 2022 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MBIan and Iain are sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire The Losers. Wait... that doesn't sound right. This episode, Ian and Iain discuss The Losers (2010) in relation to the comic of the same name by Andy Diggle and Jock, as well as Final Space, Shaun of the Dead, Star Wars, and Supernatural (apolog...
038 The Dark Knight Rises
February 27, 2022 00:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBIan and Iain prepare for the upcoming release of The Batman by revisiting The Caped Crusader's last solo film, The Dark Knight Rises (2012). They also read Batman: Knightfall in order to get to grips with the main Bane; "the man who broke the bat". Having completed the Christopher Nolan trilogy (in the wrong order, naturally) they discuss their favourite films, villains and (as always) Easter Eggs. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to becometheteapot@hot...
037 Ghost World
February 13, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBIan and Iain are joined by full-time friend and part-time composer James to discuss Ghost World (2001) and compare it to Daniel Clowes' comic of the same name.

036 Deadpool 2 (X-Month II: Ryanuary)
January 30, 2022 00:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBIan and Iain round out Ryanuary by revisiting the imaginatively titled Deadpool 2 (2018), and what better comic is there to accompany a Deadpool film featuring Cable than Cable & Deadpool by Fabian Nicieza? Does the sequel live up to its predecessor? Is Josh Brolin better as Cable or Thanos? Can Ian guess higher or lower numbers? Two of these three questions will be answered in this very episode! Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to becometheteapot@hotmai...
035 Deadpool (X-Month II: Ryanuary)
January 16, 2022 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBIan and Iain put in Maximum Effort as they try to put X-Men Origins Deadpool behind them and celebrate the New Year with a new Deadpool. This episode they're discussing the 2016 movie Deadpool and the first eleven issues of Joe Kelly's seminal 1997 Deadpool run. They'll also be giving their spoiler-free thoughts on Hawkeye, Spider-Man: No Way Home and also Red Notice for some reason. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or twee...
034 X-Men Origins: Wolverine (X-Month II: Ryanuary)
January 02, 2022 00:00 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MBIan and Iain kickstart Ryanuary (not a real word) by going back to Ryan Reynolds' debut as the Merc with (and later without) a Mouth in X-Men Origin: Wolverine. To accompany this cinematic tour de force, they'll also be reading Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith and Origin by a whole bunch of people. Also featuring the much promised "New Years New Who", in which we discuss Doctor Who: Flux. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or ...
033 Die Hard
December 19, 2021 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBIan and Iain discuss the greatest Christmas movie (yes, it is a Christmas movie) of all time and then have to read Die Hard: Year One in order to justify their decision. Also featuring Iain's new quiz "Guessy Chris Mass", which somehow makes just as little sense written down. If you can't figure out what it might be about, you're not alone. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @becometheteapod. Facebook // Instagra...
032 Shazam!
December 05, 2021 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MBIan and Iain ease into the festive spirit with the first of two Christmas episodes this December. Up first, it's Shazam! (or Captain Marvel if you're nasty) everyone's favourite superhero film set at Christmas that isn't called Batman Returns or Iron Man 3. They'll be reading the New 52 revised origins for the character and seeing if the transformation between page and screen was magical or a sin. Also on the Christmas table is Firefly, Y: The Last Man, Final Fantasy VII (again), Cowboy Be...
031 Whiteout
November 21, 2021 00:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBIan and Iain discuss the 2009 Kate Beckinsale film Whiteout (don't worry, they hadn't heard of it either) and compare it to Whiteout by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber, but will they warm to the story or will it leave them cold? Also introducing the winter themed quiz, "how much do you snow about comics?". Lessons learned: Everyone forgot about The Spirit, Wipeout sounds like Whiteout, Ian already reviewed Dune and we're too cold for this sh!t. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on th...
030 Y: The Last Man
November 07, 2021 00:00 - 49 minutes - 34.2 MBIan and Iain screwed up their scheduling, so they're taking a spoiler-free look at just the first seven episodes of Y: The Last Man and comparing it to the first ten issues of the comic book. Also up for discussion is The Walking Dead, Superman: Son of Kal-El, Final Fantasy 7, Seven Samurai, The Tomorrow War and Dune. Lessons learned: Ampersand is a great name for a monkey, Yorick is better than Chad McGruff, cancelled doesn't mean dead, and Ian may have gone of topic. Send your thoughts...
029 30 Days of Night
October 23, 2021 23:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MBIan and Iain sink their teeth into 30 Days of Night in this spooktacular Halloween special. Will they prefer the film or the comic? Who can do the best impression of the Count from Sesame Street? Why is Ian annoyed? Listen now to find out! IF YOU DARE! Muahahaha. Also Featuring: "Vampire Quiz" and "Vague horror movie chat segment" Lessons learned: Eben is a maverick on a goose, Anakin Skywalker is apparently a lovely man, swings are a vampire's greatest weakness, and Monkey Island logic ap...
028 Spider-Man
October 09, 2021 23:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBIan and Iain are pleasantly surprised as they revisit Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002) before swinging by the silver-age of comic books for some classic Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, John Romita, Gerry Conway and Gill Kane Spider-Man stories. Lessons learned: The MCU is sexless, Iain is an animation guru, artists don't get enough credit and Bush Baby has a very specific MO. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @becometheteap...
027 One Year Anniversary Spectacular
September 25, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBIan and Iain reminisce about the last year of episodes in their very first anniversary spectacular! Aided by a smattering of guests, they usher in the very first Become the Teapot awards and ask (and at least partially answer) all the big questions; "What are your favourite and least favourite films and comics so far?", "What makes a good adaptation?" and "What (if anything) have you learned?". But first, the New Year's New News Review kickstarts discussion about WandaVision, The Falcon a...
026 Guardians of the Galaxy
September 11, 2021 23:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBIan and Iain fool around and fall in love with Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) all over again before comparing it to the team's quasi-origins in the heavily punctuated Annihilation: Conquest - Starlord. As always, they're soon waylaid talking about completely different films and comics as well as Thor's catchphrase, Iain's hot take on Peter Quill, and (as Iain has finally seen it) The SuiSquad! Lessons learned: Iain is easily confused, all teams need a Captain, tumbleweed doesn't work in...
025 The Old Guard
August 28, 2021 23:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBIan and Iain join The Old Guard to discuss the film and comic and proffer their opinions on both. Iain's seen the movie before, but Ian hasn't. Will he like it? No, he won't. But, why? Listen now to find out! Plus the usual digressions, egg hunts and What Ifs. Lessons learned: 8 Underground would probably have been a better film, skyscraper assaults are an artform, synchronising is hard and eating baklava is not self-destructive behaviour. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on thi...
024 Watchmen
August 14, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBIan and Iain discuss a comic too big for them to tackle alone. Luckily Chrissie is on hand to lend another perspective on Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons' seminal work, as well as the film adaptation. Together they address the highs and lows, conflicting Easter eggs, and pay another visit to Alan Moore's Quote Corner. DISCLAIMER: Ian is legally obliged to state that he can neither confirm nor deny whether he will be appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home (Dennis the Menace definitely is though). ...
023 Kick-Ass
July 31, 2021 23:00 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MBIan and Iain are all about the Ass, as they discuss Kick-Ass by Mark Millar & John Romita Jr. and compare it to the live-action adaptation from 2010. Will they like them, how do they differ, where did Nicolas Cage get his name and how does the film relate to Scott Pilgrim, Suicide Squad and Deadpool? Some and more of these questions will be answered in this episode! Lessons learned: 2010 was a long time ago, Nicolas Cage is underrated, Bobby De Niro needs the money and we're not sponsored...
022 Joker
July 17, 2021 23:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBIan and Iain clown around as they discuss Joker (2019) and Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland and, as an extra treat, they're throwing in the Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) animated movie too... okay, maybe treat isn't quite the right word. Lessons learned: Joker and Dead Man's Shoes are not very happy films, Mr Freeze's wife is the ultimate woman in a refrigerator, nodding makes great content for a podcast, and Bruce Wayne's parents were killed?! Send your thought...
021 Captain America: Civil War
July 03, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 44.5 MBIan and Iain clash over eggs and only an expert mediator in the form of Josh can hope to curtail the feud before it becomes a full scale Civil War™. The three of them discuss Captain America: Civil War™ (2016) and compare it to Marvel's Civil War™ in the hope of answering the question; "Whose side are you on?" Lessons learned: Thomas the Tank Engine doesn't count, The Power Rangers could beat The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a fight, Robot/Android nipples are more outlandish than Y: Th...
020 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
June 19, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBIan and Iain put the Ian in Victorian as they discuss the film so bad it caused Sean Connery to retire from acting. The duo may be divided on Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill's original comic, but they're united in their views of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (or LXG if you're illiterate), from the bad to the terrible and everything in between. Along the way there'll be bad Shcottish accentsh, half-hearted Easter Eggs and a brand new, imaginatively titled segment. Lessons learned: Sean ...
019 Aquaman
June 05, 2021 23:00 - 52 minutes - 35.7 MBIan and Iain dip their toes into the watery world of DC as they discuss Aquaman (2018) before doggy paddling their way over to Geoff Johns' Aquaman vol. 7 issues 1 to 6 for a dive into The Trench. Lessons learned: The Namor vs Aquaman debate goes unresolved, extended perfume commercials do not make for a grand cinematic experience, Ian is wrong about Justice League posters (but the seven were still never united), and it may actually be Shakespeare. Send your thoughts, questions and comme...
018 (Old Man) Logan
May 22, 2021 23:00 - 56 minutes - 38.5 MBIan and Iain revisit the Fox X-Men franchise for the fifth time as they discuss Logan (2017) and see what inspiration it takes (if any) from Old Man Logan in the comics. Together they discuss mutant metaphors, inbredible Hulks, and the many uses of adamantium bullets. Lessons learned: Richard E Grant is not William Stryker's son, Richard E Grant is not Mr Sinister, Richard E Grant is underutilised and Wolverine may be a Vampire. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and oth...
017 Sin City
May 08, 2021 23:00 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBIan and Iain have a dilemma to resolve as they reach the first comic so far that Iain has read before! Luckily they have a guest waiting in the wings in the form of Luke to lend a cool hand to proceedings. Together they discuss Frank Miller's Sin City, as well as Kieron Gillen, Fullmetal Alchemist, Asterix and Papa Smurf. Lessons learned: The whole film is an egg, it wasn't sponsored by Converse (or was it?), Germans do have a sense of humour and we're no longer fuelled by testosterone and ...
016 (Green) Arrow
April 24, 2021 23:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBIain is back and not a moment too soon as Ian has to watch his first ever CW DC show with Arrow season 1: Episodes 1 to 6. They'll be comparing it to Green Arrow: Year One by Andy Diggle and Jock, but which (if any) will hit the mark? Lessons learned: Deadshot should've been called Spray-n-Pray, Arrow can climb the Colin Salmon ladder, nobody cares about Jack's tattoo in Lost and the sunk cost fallacy is the fallacy of sunk cost. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and othe...
015 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
April 10, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBIan is once again joined by guest host John and in honour of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier coming to Disney+, we're comparing Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) to Captain America vol. 5 by Ed Brubaker. (The irony of discussing the tonal shift within the Marvel franchise an episode after discussing Persepolis is not lost on us). Lessons learned: Running is a motif, Steve will flirt with anyone, Bucky is not just a handsome man, and Sam can't talk to bats and may or may not eat ...
014 Persepolis
March 28, 2021 00:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MBIan is joined by guest host John to discuss Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi... and also the TV show Supernatural, apparently. Lessons learned: The Funday Times no longer exists :-( , Keanu Reeves =/= Sting, codpieces need to make a comeback and crossovers may be a cynical exercises in consumerism, but they work. For more from John, you can listen to his other podcasts; Octothorpe and "Watch This!": An Arkham Horror Podcast. Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other epis...
013 Batman Begins
March 14, 2021 00:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBIan and Iain return to Gotham City to witness to the origin of The Dark Knight. This episode they discuss Batman Begins (2005) and Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. Lessons learned: Don't lock Alfred in the fridge, Batman is an old sea pirate, Batman Begins is not a Taken sequel and Bruce Wayne's parents were killed!!!

012 The Walking Dead
February 28, 2021 00:00 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBIan and Iain shamble into the world of The Walking Dead as they compare Season 1 to Volume 1: Days Gone Bye. They discuss page to screen transitions, butt monkeys and their unanimous love for Glenn. Lessons learned: Lost didn't go anywhere, Iain will be gone in the first wave, there are no zombie horses and everything said in this podcast is a certified fact (unless it's said by Iain). Send your thoughts, questions and comments on this and other episodes to [email protected] or...
011 WandaVision
February 14, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBIan and Iain are joined by their girlfriends for their very first Valentine's Day special. Hayley and Kaite discuss their experience with comics, favourite comic book couples and give their first impressions on WandaVision. Lessons learned: Beano, Dandy & Manga = comics, Groot is a strong sexy character, "Magic" is the best power and this is the longest conversation we've had in years. Send your thoughts and questions on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @b...
010 X-Men: The Last Stand (X-Month)
January 31, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBIan and Iain bring X-Month to a close by watching X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). But it's not all bad news! We're also reading the seminal Dark Phoenix Saga (Uncanny X-Men 129 - 137) by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. Lessons learned: Death is the ultimate sideline, Magneto hates landmarks, The Lawnmower Man wasn't a superhero and Cyclops is more interesting than Wolverine. Send your thoughts and questions on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @becometheteapod
009 X2 (X-Month)
January 17, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBIan and Iain continue Giant-Size January by comparing X2 (2003) to its comic book inspiration; X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. The second episode of X-Month brings unexpected agreements, terrible eggs and Part 2 of "What would MCYou do?". Lessons learned: Tobacco is whacko, a hat and trench coat is a better disguise than a baseball cap and sunglasses, Stryker isn't as committed to graphic design as Lex Luthor and comics have always been political. Send your thoughts and questions on this and ...
008 X-Men (X-Month)
January 03, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBIan and Iain kick X-Month off where it all began on the big screen for Marvel's merry mutants, X-Men (2000) and Iain gets a crash course in X-History as they read X-Men: Grand Design by Ed Piskor. Also introducing a new segment for Giant-Size January; "What would MCYou do?". Lessons learned: X-Men was written by Solid Snake, Tom Cruise was not cast as Wolverine, Magnetism is basically magic and the Podcar is coming.

BONUS New Year's New News
January 01, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBIan and Iain roundup all the latest Marvel news from Disney Investor Day in our first (and possibly only) bonus episode! Oh, and also some DC stuff. Lessons learned: QuANTuMANia is the best title, it's HBO MAX not HBO+, "only time will tell" and we don't know the words to Auld Lang Syne. Send your thoughts and questions on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @becometheteapod
007 Iron Man 3
December 20, 2020 00:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBIan and Iain get side-tracked in festive mirth as we attempt to discuss Iron Man 3 (2011) and Iron Man: Extremis in our first ever Christmas episode. Plus the return of listener favourite segment "The CCQ". Lessons learned: Every kid wants a Killian toy, the kids in Jurassic Park are irritating, no one was clamouring for a Coldblood-7 film and "Shane Black Christmas" is its own genre. Send your thoughts and questions on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @b...
006 Green Lantern
December 06, 2020 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MBIan and Iain may have finally found a comic book film that Iain doesn't like, but can Ryan Reynolds' raw charisma save an entire movie? No. Lessons learned: Nothing happens in Casablanca, Batman is grumpy, NFL SuperPro is better than Team America and Hal Jordan definitely killed three men. Send your thoughts and questions on this and other episodes to [email protected] or tweet us @becometheteapod
