Episode 128: Catwoman (2004) & Elektra (2005)

This week, in anticipation of Black Widow's imminent release, Joe, James and Rhys discuss two mid-noughties female superhero solo movies that time has forgotten: 2004's Catwoman, starring Halle Berry, & 2005's Elektra, starring Jennifer Garner. They talk about the interesting similarities between the two films, how they do and don't relate to Batman & Daredevil (respectively) and what they might have done to their stars' careers & the genre itself. They also cover the latest comic book movie news, James recommends some comics, and Joe and James battle it out over the pitch.If you enjoy the show, consider backing us on Patreon!
