The Superhero Show Show #407: Hit-Monkey, That Funky Monkey

The Superhero Show Show #407

Hit-Monkey, That Funky Monkey

It’s the season one wrap-up of Hit-Monkey, plus Hawkeye, X-Men: The Animated Series, and more on an all-new The Superhero Show Show!

On an all-new, all-different episode of The Superhero Show Show, Mike and Ryan say goodbye to Hit-Monkey, along with the concept of the Marvel/Hulu-verse. There were a ton of things that lead to the demise, including the introduction of the Disney Plus shows, but was what we got a success? Are they bummed that Hit-Monkey will be a one-off wonder, or do they think that this is the perfect place to end it?

Meanwhile, it’s time to go back to X-Tazmania for the final episode of The Pheonix Saga on X-Men: The Animated Series! Things look pretty dire for our merry mutants, and despite the fact that we all know how this is going to go down, how will Jean Grey ultimately save the day? And how will the rest of her teammates handle it? And how will Mike and Ryan handle it?

Then Mike sits down with Jamie Price aka Must Be Tuesday, podcast voice actor and nerd musician extraordinaire! . Mike & Jamie discuss their journey into voice acting (including their work on the Strange Case of the Spaceship Iris and What’s The Frequency?), and of course, their nerd origin story. You can follow Jamie on Twitter and Instagram, and their album, Cover Me I’m Going In, is on iTunes and Spotify!

All of that, plus reviews and discussions on every other episode of comic book TV that came out this week, including The Flash, Hawkeye, Riverdale, and Super Crooks!
