From dragons to unicorns, and elves, fairies, and the boogeyman, mythical creatures have always played a part in different cultures. We talk about the ebbs and flows of some creatures' popularity.

Superhero Fatigue? get Geekish Podcast #201
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
Tuesday Nov 15, 2022
The release of a big budget superhero movie used to be a big deal. (It also made a number of sub-par movies look like big box-office hits.) With more than a dozen big-name superhero movies on tap in 2023 and countless streaming releases...have we hit the point of oversaturation? Are we the only ones who are feeling a little bit of the superhero fatigue? We love us some superheroes, but maybe Hollywood should focus on qualify instead of quantity.
