Bombastic Birds of Prey!
We're back once again heroes and heroines! Get ready for an episode full of egg sandwiches, hyenas, and weird pronunciations of the name "Will Smith"!
This episode, Cody and Zack talk about "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)". Will it be better than Suicide Squad? Does Zack enjoy the film despite it being a modern DC title? Does Cody make an argument that Black Mask is actually a high-ranking villain? Are we asking too many questions before you all even listen to this thing? (Probably.)
Grab your spicy Chinese food, get out your metal bat, and make sure to pack an extra shirt as we check out this Harley Quinn fueled insanity!

The Jarring Joker
Welcome back faithful listeners and perpetuating promoters of panels!
This week, Cody and Zack take on, "Joker". Though this episode is a bit dated, we felt it was good to get our thoughts on this highly awarded, yet uncomfortable film about a clown. Oh, and there's some comic-based things in it too!
Was it as good as folks say? Does it have momentum to keep making sequels and carry DC film? Or was it maybe a bit over-hyped? Listen and find out!

Panel to Picture:The Last Jedi Comic and Film (Ft. Alex Faciane)
Welcome back heroes and heroines! We have returned after hiatus and ready to roll with all new episodes every week this month!
This episode, Zack and Cody are joined by LA Jedi and green milk enthusiast, Alex Faciane! Together, the trio tackle the comic adaptation of what might possibly be the most controversial Star Wars film, "The Last Jedi".
Do some of the more debated scenes translate better in comic format? Does the comic add more or have less context for certain characters? Is there reasoning behind things like sea-lion milk, droids full of gambling coins, and different expectations for villains? There's only one way to find out!
Join us for a discussion about sci-fi, theme, mythology, and fandom as we dive into our first ever "Panel to Picture" review!

Interesting Iron-Man 3
Long time, no listen fellow comic enthusiasts! We hope you've been doing super! This time around, we tackle our first entry into Phase 2 of the MCU with the sometimes divisive Iron-Man 3. Cody regales his initially feelings about the film, and possibly turns over a new leaf, Zack goes in depth about what COULD have happened if Marvel followed the comics at the time, and we all learn to grow a little as film goers! So suit up, grab some fortune cookies, and buy insurance for that house in Malibu as we tackle the penultimate adventure of Tony Stark!

Astonishing Avengers!
Gathering all of our good friends that enjoyed 2012's Avengers with them, Cody, Joe, Kassie, and Zack all form up to discuss what is possibly one of the best examples of comic book film and fun story telling! Listen as Zack rages about Captain America's earmuffs, Cody asks if Agent Coleson is still impacting as a character, Kassie explains her love for Mark Ruffalo, and Joe brings up Joss Whedon's vision that brought the film to life. We hope you enjoy this episode of crazy comic film fans as much as we did making it for you!

Ambitious Alita: Battle Angel
In a first for the podcast we have a film that is divisive among our pod-casting heroes!
On one side, we have Zack and Joe who enjoyed this year's manga to film adaption, Alita: Battle Angel. The two talk about how they find it to be a fun, visually striking adventure that invoked great sci-fi appeal.
Meanwhile, Cody provides his completely contrasting views on the film, arguing that it is narratively dull, rushed, and sometimes nonsensical. Arguing that visuals alone cannot make a completely un-invested viewer care about the film, this episode is filled with contrasting viewpoints!
Which side, if any, do you agree with? Strap on your roller blades, grab some chocolate, and let's get ready to talk about Alita: Battle Angel!

Courageous Captain America: The First Avenger!
During this episode, Cody raises the questions about Cap's murder streak, Zack reminisces about a film he has watched (not by choice) 33 times now and still enjoys, and the boys discuss who the coolest MCU character to hang out would be with. So c'mon down, grab a steak, and let's go punch some Hydra agents with Captain America: The First Avenger!

Thundering Thor!
NO! It is a new episode of Panel Pictures! This episode, Zack and Cody dive into what the first Thor film had to offer with different perspectives. Zack hasn't seen the movie since it's original theatrical release in 2011, while Cody has seen it several times. Does the movie still crash with thunder, or does it have too many faults to even make a cloudy day?
Grab your hammers, make sure you've had your Odin sleep, and let's dive into the next entry in the MCU!

Trailer Talk Strikes Back!

Half-baked Hellboy
Heroes...Heroines...It's about time for the podcast to review its first absolute bummer of a movie. On the bright side, by listening to this episode, you will literally not ever need to see this movie unless you just want to witness for yourself how bad comic cinema can be! Come, listen to stories about angsty demons acting like teenagers, WWII war heroes with burning claws, and what feels like 12 different stories being meshed into one awful experience. Let's go ahead and dive into....Hellboy (2019).

Creative Captain Marvel
This time around, Cody and Zack discuss a film that neither were initially excited for but ended up enjoying regardless, Captain Marvel!
While both hosts don't necessarily have any history with the character, they take the time to bring attention to a movie that highlights several core 90's film aspects, has a batch of interesting characters, and breathes life into a new staple for our beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's a film that masterfully explores belonging, power, ethics, and a cute cat named Goose that Zack adores.
So woman up, get your grunge clothes out from the closet (we won't judge), and let's blast into space with another thrilling episode!

Adequate Aquaman
Listen to tales of weird plot devices, slow pacing, and redundant guitar riffs as Cody and Zack explore the murky seas of Aquaman!
A film riddled with both amazing and questionable choices, our hosts talk about a film that, while not mind-blowing, ends up being incredibly enjoyable none the less! If only DC could have done so earlier, their heroic films might not have been put in such bad lime-light!
It's time to unite the oceans, have conversations interrupted by random explosions, and enjoy a fun romp through the oceans! Let's go!

Sensational Spider-Verse!
Going from what might be Sony's most recent flop, into what could be their greatest film yet, Cody and Zack go in great, passionate discussion about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!
Every once in a while, a film touches audiences in ways we weren't expecting. Reaching out to parts of our psyche that we haven't used or thought about in a considerable amount of time. We're glad to say that Spider-Verse hit every emotional high and low we could imagine and then some! Go watch this incredibly well animated, phenomenally written, and suspenseful film. ONLY AFTER THEN, should you listen to our hosts talk about this wonderful masterpiece of storytelling!
Suit up, get rid of your capes (they're disrespectful), and get ready to THWIP into some Spidey action with what might be the greatest Spider-Man film yet!

Vulnerable Venom
During this episode, Cody and Zack tackle an incredibly hard to pin down film, Sony's Venom. Is it a modern comic film? Is it a lost relic from the early 2000's, full of tropes? Is it good? Is it terrible? Is there potential? How good do tater tots and chocolate ACTUALLY taste together? (We didn't answer that last one, but now we're curious.)
Join us for another thrilling look into the world of comic film and see for yourself if Venom is actually any good, or is just padding for Sony's diminishing movie wallet.

Idle Iron Man 2
This episode Zack and Cody tackle the first sequel in the show's history, along with the first sequel in the MCU, Iron Man 2!
The usual consensus is that this film is boring, falls flat, is dull, etc. But is it quite as bad as our hosts remember? Will interesting villain dynamics and well-done character developments be enough to combat sparse action, or will Iron Man 2 fall prey to the tell-tale fate of all sequels?
Time to buddy up, put on your MK VI suit, and be the War Machine with another episode!

Trailer Talk
Because there are supposed to be SO many new comic films coming out in 2019, Zack and Cody thought it best to share an episode where they predicted their feelings about upcoming films based on the trailers for the sake of reflection.
In this episode we discuss Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Shazam, and X-Men Dark Phoenix along with our thoughts and opinions on several other past and upcoming properties.
Consider this a "get to know us" episode that we thought would be interesting to have to reflect on once we saw and reviewed these films.
So let's get to speculating/reflecting and talk about super hero trailers!

Ho Hum Hulk
This time, our intrepid duo takes on what might possibly be the most boring entry into the MCU, 2008's Incredible Hulk.
Can this film still be seen as exciting, adventurous, and fun despite weird character development choices, awkward CGI, and long pauses between action scenes? Well, there's only one way to find out!
Grab your ripped purple pants, slide on those foam Hulk hands you got as a kid (after pushing play of course), and let's jump into The Incredible Hulk!

The Inaugural Iron Man Episode!
This is Panel Pictures, a brand new podcast hosted by Zack James and Cody McKinney, where each episode we dive deep into one or more comic book films!
Our first episode takes on the very first entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man! Come listen to Zack's childhood conspiracy of nobody believing him that Iron Man was real, and witness Cody simply regret agreeing to do this in the first place!
We hope you enjoy our first episode and subsequently this show as much as we enjoy putting it together for you all!
Until next time, stay super!
