It’s our end-of-the-year bad movie tradition, and this time we’re sinking our teeth into Vampirella (1996). Laramy and Nicholas Pepin take a bite out of this low-budget, leather-clad, sci-fi-vampire revenge tale that tried to bring the iconic comic heroine to life… and missed the jugular by a mile. From wigs that defy gravity to a rock star villain chewing scenery, we break down the bizarre production, questionable acting choices, and what could have been.

✨🎙️ It’s time for a Battle of the Panels! In this special one-shot episode, Laramy is joined by his wife Bethany and daughter Ruby for a family face-off inspired by the amazing podcast Smash Boom Best. The showdown? WandaVision vs. Agatha All Along! Which Marvel witchcraft-filled series will reign supreme? Tune in for fun debate, spirited arguments, and a magical panel battle you won’t want to miss.

Barry Allen races through time in 2024’s The Flash, but is this multiverse mashup a victory lap or a stumble out of the Speed Force? Laramy is joined by Blake Fowler to break down DC’s latest big-screen outing—comparing it to the Flashpoint comic, diving into the good, the bad, and the downright confusing “Weird Science” moments. From Michael Keaton’s Batman return to Nicolas Cage’s surprise Superman cameo, we cover it all. So lace up your running shoes, grab a bowl of timeline spaghetti, and join us on the other side of the page.

Ruby returns to talk about her first time watching Smallville, and this time we’re covering Season 2! Laramy and Ruby break down the episodes that stood out — the ones that thrilled, the ones that dragged, and the one where Clark Kent turns into a leather-clad bad boy. Hear Ruby’s favorite and least favorite episodes, her reactions to Clark’s big choices, and what she thinks is coming next. It’s family-friendly fun with a dash of Kryptonian chaos!

Justice Forever… or just for now? Laramy Wells and Justin Baker return to the world of DIY superheroes as the Mark Millar Summer Series concludes with Kick-Ass 2! From bigger fights to weirder villains (looking at you, Mother Russia), we break down the sequel that tried to out-crazy the original. What changed from the comic? How does Jim Carrey fit into all this? And why does this one leave such a different aftertaste?

We were planning to end our Mark Millar summer series with a head-to-head adaptation bracket, but due to scheduling conflicts, that episode didn’t come together. So instead, Laramy goes solo to offer his final thoughts on Millar’s legacy—exploring the impact of his comics, the controversy that surrounds his work, and how he compares to other boundary-pushing creators like Alan Moore and Frank Miller.

What makes Millar’s storytelling so marketable and so divisive? Can Millarworld become Netflix’s next big universe? And why do his stories continue to provoke, entertain, and challenge comic book fans?

It’s not quite the end—Kick-Ass 2 is coming next week—but this is the deep-dive farewell to the man behind the madness.

Laramy Wells and Justin Baker dive into Kick-Ass (2010), the ultraviolent, foul-mouthed, and oddly heartwarming adaptation of Mark Millar’s subversive comic. They break down the differences between the film and comic, explore the twisted origin of Hit-Girl and Big Daddy, and discuss how Kick-Ass flips superhero tropes on their heads. This episode asks: What if Spider-Man had no powers, no plan… and no chill?

🩸💥 From hyper-violent assassins to cynical superheroes, Mark Millar has made a career out of turning comic book tropes on their heads. In this One Shot episode of Moving Panels, Laramy Wells and Nicholas Pepin explore how Millar uses over-the-top violence and biting satire to challenge everything we think we know about heroes. From The Authority and The Ultimates to Kick-Ass, Wanted, and The Kingsman, we break down the mayhem, the messages, and the moments that made us laugh, cringe, and maybe question our morals.
