Venom (2018) is the only good Sony Spider-Man movie — and I'm saying it live, with receipts.Sony's Spider-Man Universe has spent years trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Morbius flopped. Madame Web flopped. Kraven the Hunter flopped. But 2018's Venom did something none of them managed: it committed to a tone, let Tom Hardy go fully unhinged as Eddie Brock, and gave audiences a movie they actually had fun with. Tonight we break down why the first Venom still works when everything around it doesn't.What we're covering:
Why does Hal Jordan get so much disrespect? It's time to set the record straight on the greatest Green Lantern of all time.

Lanterns Episode 4 Finally Feels Like Green Lantern — here's the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.In this critical discussion of Lanterns Episode 4, I break down what worked, what didn't, and what's still ugly for HBO's Lanterns series.

The SnyderVerse was MORE comic accurate than you remember — here's the balance between accuracy and adaptation.In this Comics League discussion, we break down how Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Zack Snyder's Justice League pulled straight from the page — from The Dark Knight Returns and Death of Superman to Jack Kirby's New Gods — and where Snyder changed things on purpose to make it work on screen.Comic accuracy vs adaptation isn't either/or.
