Starfest 2008 Superhero Movie News Panel

Michael — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:14:26 +0000

I know, clearly i’m catching up on a lot of old editing I needed to do.

Flashback to the biggest year in Superhero Movies ever! 2008 was packed, this is our panel from that year’s Starfest, it was the last time Jefferson came back to Denver for the con.

It’s a good hour, it’s fun to see what we got right and what we got wrong, and it had a lot of good Q&A with the audience.

Starfest 2010 Movie News Panel

Michael — Thu, 20 May 2010 02:37:04 +0000

My news segment from April 2010 at the Starfest Convention in Denver CO. Obviously stuff changes on a daily basis, and things have changed in the month since I did this, but it’s a good primer on the current info. Also I think it was entertaining and possibly the best presentation i’ve given of this type.

Goodbye old design.

Superhero Cinema is entering a new era, i’ve moved the site to a new platform, WordPress, I hope you like the new design for the site. It should still keep you informed about the latest news from around the web, but also help highlight our own content better. There should also be none of the glitches caused by our old software.

Please go ahead and use the Contact Us form to let me know how you like the new look and the new functionality.

In the meantime, the old design server us well for 3 years, and all through our podcast time. Here’s a last look at that:

From listening to the show, you know that i’m going to Dragon Con in Atlanta next week. While I can’t guarantee it, i’m hoping to get some interviews with some of the more than 100 guests who will be there.

Here’s where you all come in, i’ve never really done celebrity interviews, so I could use some help with questions for them.

Here is a list of the Superhero Cinema-related guests and what they’ve been in:

William Katt (Star, Greatest American Hero)
John Wesley Shipp (Star, The Flash)
Feedback (Who Wants to Be a Superhero)
Major Victory (Who Wants to Be a Superhero)
Fat Mama (Who Wants to Be a Superhero)
James Marsters (Braniac, Smallville, Lex Luthor, Superman:Doomsday)

Marc Singer (Dr Kirk Langstrom/ManBat, Batman: TAS, The Beastmaster)
Aaron Douglas (Blade 2)

If you have anything you would like me to ask any of these guests, i’m happy to be your voice. Email your questions to podcast@superherocinema.com. If you call and leave your questions as a voicemail, I will actually play your question for the celebrity and we will include it in the show, the number to leave your voicemail is 303-800-HERO, that’s 303-800-4376.

Any help you can send my way will be appreciated.
