November 15, 2017 22:18 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBRemember Planet Hulk? How about Planet Hulk but instead of Hulk being the main character who gets imprisoned, how about Thor? Then Hulk can be on the planet, too. And they'll fight in the arena! And Cate Blanchett can play the Goddess of Death. Sounds good! This week the guys take on Thor 3 otherwise known as Thor: Ragnarok. At the time of this recording, Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel's best reviewed film of all time. So what did the guys think?

E063 - Ant-Man [2015]
August 11, 2017 17:08 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBWhen Marvel announced their decision to make a movie based on Ant-Man, it probably felt like a risk. Not as well known as Iron Man or Captain America, would people go see a movie about a character who can shrink to the size of an insect? It's ranked 14th among the MCU movies, so while not as big of a hit as Guardians of the Galaxy, still not a flop either. Let us know what you think of the movie! www.cinemaheroes.com facebook.com/smandsmpodcast Twitter: @CinemaHeroes

July 10, 2017 22:09 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBThe first Spider-Man movie. Again. But this time with more Iron Man. That's right, folks, Spider-Man is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Introduced in Captain America: Civil War, this film follows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he longs to be a part of The Avengers. Too bad that pesky thing called High School is in the way. The awesome Michael Keaton stars as Adrian Toomes, aka The Vulture, as the film's main villain. How does this film rank compared to previous Spider-Man films? Let us...
