Gen V
The last episode ends with Emma trying to rally some of her fellow heroes to actually start an on campus resistance. Marie finds out that Cypher is also the doctor that delivered her and Jordan announces to the whole school that they are the one that attacked Cate. We are now rolling, the plot is coming quickly and it is only going to get more intense from here.

Gen V
The last episode ended with the fight between Jordan and Marie. We find out through the fight that Cypher’s powers are the ability to jump his consciousness into someone else's body. Though there is still something fishy about that. Marie almost kills Jordan and Cate is completely screwed without her powers.

Gen V
They are really packing in the plot and action this season. In the last episode we found out that project Odyssa is referring to Marie somehow. Kate got really violent in her little recovery coma and Sam seems to be trying to fight the mind control that Kate has done to him. And we are just ramping up.

Gen V
Wow they really kicked off this season with a bang. It was a very action packed first episode that left one of our leads bleeding out. We also saw a lot of really in depth character development and choices being made in the last episode that sets this season up really well.

Gen V
At the end of our first season all hell broke loose. The kids at God U freed the supes that were being held under the school, the supe disease was created and tested, and Homelander captured our leads. We left off with Marie and friends stuck in a white prison that blocked their powers with Sam and her friends seemingly joining up with Homelander.

Lady Comic Book History
Hello! I am Alexandrea Callaghan the author and podcaster of Lady Comic Book History and I am here to talk about the history of women in comics. First I want to tell you a little bit about how I got into this. It was COVID, we had all been locked up for maybe a month and I decided that I wanted to start a podcast about female superheroes. Now I wasn’t really sure what that was going to look like, but as I went down the rabbit hole of existing superhero history podcasts I noticed that there weren’t any that were doing what I wanted to do, which ended up being a simple chronicle of the history of female comic book characters. So few characters actually stand the test of time and the treatment of women in comics has always been a little questionable. And I wanted there to be a clear and thorough documentation of this history all in one place. Several books and other accounts are also extremely inaccurate and I needed to clear that up. So you guys are going to get a super fast forwarded version of the book I wrote that goes into this history in an even more in depth way then my podcast does. A lot of what I do revolves around getting people to understand that media doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It does directly affect our daily lives and how we view and interact with the world. It's never just a comic or just a tv show. And it is ALWAYS that deep. I use philosophical, psychological and sociological evidence, these are things in making up, this is not my opinion. These are facts that have been true since the beginning of art and humanity. But today I only have 40 minutes to talk to you guys so we are just going pure history. I am going to take you through what I have deemed some of the most impactful and important moments for women in comics, including the women themselves. So we are starting at the very beginning in 1938.

Sinners
As always I am behind on my movie watching but one of my most anticipated titles this year was Sinners. Not only did I hear nothing but wonderful things about it upon its release but it stars Michael B Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, both of whom I love. I think Ryan Coogler is an incredible director so this was one that I was happy to check off the list.

Fantastic Four
Marvel has been struggling for a new foothold in the cinematic landscape for several years now. For a while it really seemed like they were floundering…let me be clear; this idea is not reflected in the quality of the films it is reflected in the waffling of the leadership of the MCU. For the last 3 years we have heard from Iger, and Fiege that they will now be centering the MCU and focusing on “quality over quantity”, when in reality the “new” release plan shows absolutely no changes whatsoever. They are in fact doing the exact same thing they have always done. This not only makes the keepers of the MCU liars but it makes them look like they have no idea what they are doing, and it highlights the fact that there is no real plan for the MCU. They have ideas, and whispers but they don’t have a vision. The release of the Fantastic Four however gives us hope.

Los Angeles Comic Con
There are comic book conventions all over the country at all times of the year. I get to attend a lot of them and after some extensive attendance I am proud to say that I do have a favorite. Now all conventions have their merits, some are smaller and easier to navigate. The larger ones offer plenty of new things to get excited about, and San Diego Comic Con is legendary for a reason. But the best convention, the one I look forward to every year is Los Angeles Comic Con.

Snow White
The general public is tired of live action remakes in general, but particularly from Disney. However their latest addition, Snow White, fell under extra special scrutiny because the internet hates women and Rachel Zegler was its latest victim. See, she made some outrageous and disrespectful comments about the original Snow White film. She said the film from 1937 was outdated (GASP), she talked about how the creepy old witch scared her when she was a child (what a monster) and these comments led to a flood of hate from a certain sect of the internet. The internet seems to forget that acting is a job and actors take roles to feed themselves. They might also really connect with the material and feel very passionately about a project but ultimately it's how they don’t starve.

Drop
Drop is one of those movies that the second the trailer starts you know it's going to be stupid. The very premise of this movie was stupid and quite honestly not sure how it was pitched that made a bunch of executives go “Oh we have to make this”, but that is my long winded way of saying that I expect absolutely nothing from this movie. If it is anything more than a shit show then it's gonna get a high score. I am anticipating a 2/10, but let’s see.

Novacaine
Jack Quaid is starting off 2025 with a bang, this man was in 2 films released earlier this year. Companion, and Novacaine. I was not super impressed with Companion but Novacaine looked quite funny so I am hopeful I like this man in something this year. The final season of the Boys is still kind of far off so this is the closest we are going to get to Huey for a while.
