The 42cast Episode 225: Hitting the Mark (Invincible Edition)

January 27, 2025 by Dastari Leave a Comment

InvincibleIt was a title so good that we had to use it twice. In this episode we take a deep dive on Invincible. It’s a coming of age story about Mark Grayson, a teenager who has to navigate attaining super powers, his father’s secret, and getting into college. We discuss the phenomenal story and what makes it so unique at a time when we have so much superhero content. We also talk about the phenomenal voice work and the great care that goes into selecting each and every voice. Along the way we navigate the comic origins of the series and frantically try to stay away from spoilers. Those of us who haven’t read the comic give our hopes for what we’ll see in the future. We also get into the art style, animation, and depictions of superhero action and whether it works for us.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Shaun, Kevin, Daviorr, and Kelley join the cast.

The 42cast Episode 224: Final Run

January 20, 2025 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Runaways Season ThreeMarvel’s Runaways adapted a relatively unknown but also fairly recent comic book concept for the small screen. The story followed the children of super villains who ran away from their parents and become heroes. In this episode we take a look at the final season of the series. We discuss the plotlines and how well this final season wrapped up the plot of the series. We talk about the depiction of the world and whether or not this all takes place within the MCU. We also get into the characters both established and new, such as the villain, Morgan le Fay, played by Elizabeth Hurley. We also debate whether we’d like to see these characters again.

The five-minute controversy this week asks if it was a good idea for Marvel to replace Scott Derrickson with Sami Raimi on Doctor Strange 2.

This week Beth, Ryan, Mike, and Anji join the cast.

The 42cast Episode 222: Power Trip

January 9, 2025 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Dragon Ball SuperThis episode is dedicated to the memory of Akira Toriyama, a brilliant creator responsible for the design of games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior in the 80’s/90’s in the US) as well of course as the Dragon Ball manga.

Dragon Ball Z is one of the first anime that many people in America ever saw. Popularized by the Toonami block on Cartoon Network, Dragon Ball quickly gained a huge following. In this episode we look at the entire franchise from the original Dragon Ball to the more recent Dragon Ball Super. We also discuss the potential for Dragon Ball Daima. Along the way we touch on our favorite characters, favorite storylines, and what we find compelling about the overall narrative. We’ll also air some frustrations and give some thoughts about what we’d still like to see from the franchise.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy in this episode.

This week James; Mike; and the living embodiment of Goku himself, Kevin, join the cast.
