We Don't Need Another Hero (Part 1)

We all recognize the phenomenon whose not-so-secret identity is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  And perhaps for others, all things DC Justice League.  Even non geeks have heard of them, folks with no nerd qualities at all have watched them, and those roles have become badges of honor (or at least rites of passage) for many actors who might once have feared type-casting.   But those are just the most recent and perhaps more famous iterations of a long history of superhero cinema and television.  On this episode, The Guys take a brief look at the history leading up to the common era: the good, the bad, the ugly.  (No, those are not the off-mic nicknames of The Guys.)   Meanwhile, in the Geeks of the Week segment, they talk past stars getting a reboot, including a Monkee, a Kryptonian, and an on call 80’s pop music duo.
