Gosh, I haven’t watched these movies since they originally aired on TV. Let me think, I was about 12. YOU ALL MAKE ME FEEL OLD, THANKS!
I know they weren’t great, but my memories of them was so fun because as Mike said, we would take anything we could then! They did the best they could for the time. But they also fired my imagination like nobody’s business. I still can picture Cap throwing his motorcycle up onto a bridge, then jumping up after it. Does it make sense? Heck no! But it was hella awesome, and I’ll take it!
It would be fun to hear you all discuss TV or theatrical movies like this. IMHO, they have a worse rap than they deserve. If you wanted to do the 1997 Justice League pilot episode, little heads up that Shag covered it for a special JLI podcast episode this year. Now that Challenge of the Super-Heroes special? Whew, Thor be with you, my friends.
Great episode as always! (and like Jon, I’ll gladly take a break from coming up with a tagline. they hurt my brain sometimes.)
