The Superhero Show Show #409: Eat the Cake, Anime (An Exploration of Super Crooks)

The Superhero Show Show #409

Eat the Cake, Anime (An Exploration of Super Crooks)

The Taste Buds check in with Netflix’s Super Crooks, plus a look back at 2015’s Fantastic Four on an all-new The Superhero Show Show!

On an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show, Mike and Ryan kick off 2022 with a fairly quiet week. It’s Super Crooks’ turn in the spotlight, so the Taste Buds log in and watch for the first time since it came out. They aren’t used to reviewing animation, particularly this style, so will the show gel with them, or will they have more questions than answers.

Plus, in a very special segment, Ryan messed up. His punishment? He has to watch and review the movie of Mike’s choice, and Mike chose 2015’s Fantastic Four. A notorious pile of crap, will Ryan be able to find something nice to say, or is it as bad as everyone says.

All of that, plus a return to the Savage Land on X-Men: The Animated Series and a Pull List that includes Young Justice: Phantoms…and that’s it! All of that, and more, on an all-new Superhero Show Show!
