Soldiers of Hell was established in 1999; 25 years ago this year. In the previous episode we set ourselves the challenge of identifying the top pop culture moments of the last 25 years. In this episode, join us as we walk along a canel towpath and find out if we worked out top moment and whether our invading kids had anything to offer the coversation.

Have you seen The Flash yet? If not you'd better a get a move on. Also, you'll probably want to avoid this spoiler filled episode with reflections on the movie, the latest Batman(s) on film and the future of the DCU.

But it's a Batman movie, so we had to talk about it.

This was not intended as another kids takeover episode, but kids being kids they chipped away at us during a country walk in order to make this happen...and then they took over.

In this episode we discuss the forthcoming The Flash movie and how that is the conclusion of 5 character trilogies, our take on Batfleck vs Keaton (aka Keat-man), whether AI can answer our age old debate around our favourite characters Batman and Bond. Speaking of Bond we end up on the topic of the recently re-released Goldeneye 007 for modern platforms and explain to the kids that Fortnite is not the genesis of all characters.

Or Zimmerman Vs Williamsman if you prefer and you can keep up with our long standing joke. In this episode Dave from Geeky Guys joined us as we watched The Music of Zimmer Vs Williams performed by the London Concert Orchestra at the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall and then tried to figure out who won. Stay tuned for a post-script ledger item on our last episode about Batman vs Bond.

It's several years since we pitted out two favourite characters against each other. And it's 18th months since we took a leisurely stroll round the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. In this episode we combine both past-times and compare the cinematic entries of Bruce Wayne and 007 that were released in the same calendar year. Who will still be standing at the end of this episode. There's only one way to find out... And we don't mean in the Harry Hill way. We mean listen to this episode of the Soldiers of Hell podcast.

A long weekend at the coast and what do we do? Aside from recreating the iconic scene from Top Gun...with a frisbee...we discuss the Jurassic Park franchise and what Indiana could add to it - or maybe not. The kids also gatecrash, demand a second trip to the arcade and have to settle for the Evercade instead. Soldier of Hell hall of fame character of the month: Maverick (from Top Gun)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No not Christmas - it's the gateway to Summer, otherwise known as the Eurovision Song Contest. This year Sam Ryder's Space Man has made Andy cautiously optimistic about the UK's chances.  We also discuss the Indiana Jones franchise, touch on Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, drink some beer and take the dog for a walk. Join us for the emotional rollercoaster.

SPOILER ALERT We're going deep on The Batman. So deep we nearly fall in a lake we're walking round whilst we ramble on about the latest movie starring one of our all time favourites. Is this the best film in the franchise yet? Is this the best Catwoman on screen? Join us for a wander around a country park with a rebellious dog as we talk all things Battinson and friends. Haven't seen the film yet? What are you waiting for!!!

Just like Jaws: The Revenge, sequels are out to get you and your family. So, let the Soldiers of Hell deep dive into iconic movie franchises to test the theory about whether the majority of original stories committed to film should have just ended after the first one? Who really cares what happens next? You do! That's why you're tuning in to this podcast. So stay tuned to the very end to find out who is the latest of Soldier of Hell to join the crew. You definitely won't be able to guess.

Massive spoiler alert for anyone that hasn't watched Spider-man: No Way Home or Hawkeye yet! And if you haven't, what the hell are you playing at? Oh yeah probably trying to keep up with all the Marvel live action and animated content, not to mention Star Wars and other Disney+ properties.  So it's a straight-forward new year chat this month about recent Marvel releases and how much we've enjoyed them. For once, you get the Ronseal style of podcasting. This month's Soldiers of Hell nomination: all the Spider-Man (Spider-men? Spider-mans?)

What is the Netflix Christmas Universe? And is every Vanessa Hudgens movie ever made technically part of it?  Join us for a festive special where we discuss all sort of movie and TV crossover theories.
