Hiatus Announcement
Superhero Cinephiles is going to be on a temporary hiatus for the immediate future. Everything's okay, I'm just entering a busy period at work and I've exhausted my supply of movie episodes. While you're waiting, there are still some unaired episodes of Superhero Bibliophiles that will appear on the feed, and I still have several SBP Classic episodes from the old Patreon-exclusive show that will be going up, too. My other podcast, Japan On Film, will also return soon for its fourteenth season, so you can listen to that while you're waiting for new episodes of this show. Until then, here are some other places you can keep up with me: Bluesky | Substack | Author website Thanks for listening, and hopefully I'll be back with some new content in the not-too-distant future!
