Vic and Vin are back for another Cosmic Circus Comics podcast to discuss the new DC Studios film focused on Supergirl as compared to the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. They also deliberate how the film impacts the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow and the future of James Gunn’s DC Universe. Supergirl (2026) was directed by Craig Gillespie, written by
Read MoreSupergirl is a movie with a preset of internet haters ready to cast vitriol against the film regardless of the outcome. For most of those naysayers, they probably don’t know why they are eager to cast a dark cloud on the property, except for a “girl in hero costume bad” mentality. The anger towards this specific movie is even more questionable
Read MoreJohn and Vin are back talking about the films Obsession and The Furious, both of which John was able to see at the Dallas International Film Festival earlier this year. Vin also chats about films he saw at the Timeless Film Festival Warsaw. Lastly, they talk briefly about revisiting the Back to the Future films after a movie marathon. The Timeless
Read MoreI know, another Toy Story sequel? Are they ever going to stop making these? This is a valid question, given how many agree that Toy Story 3 ended the franchise perfectly and offered thoughtful conclusions for the toys many of us grew up repeatedly watching on VHS until the tape wore out.

Read MoreI Am Frankelda is a brand new dark fantasy musical, and Mexico’s very first stopmotion feature film. Directed and written by brothers Arturo & Roy Ambriz, the movie is the ideal introduction to their growing Frankelda universe of dark fantasy stories. The project originally began as a YouTube pilot in 2019. That short grew into Frankelda’s Book of Spooks (2021), a

UFOs may not be fresh material for the E.T. filmmaker, but Disclosure Day feels very

The once-shepherded-by-the-Wayans-Brothers spoof series that parodied contemporary horror cinema had a cult following in the years after its successful release, but none of them were any good. The only ones that were watchable, Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, had David Zucker’s involvement, one of the masters of
