Summary

In this Sort, Graham & Jeff discuss, the time before the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A time when the majority of Superhero movies lost money and ruined careers. We discuss the Origin Story of Superheroes from Print comics in the 30s to the importance of radio in the 40s to TV in the 50s and finally to the Silver Screen. We also play a game of “Bargepole or Belter” where Jeff lists 25 pre MCU Superhero movies and asks Graham which of these movies should not be touched with a BARGEPOLE and which are BELTERS and well worth a watch.
