Before the MCU, before the modern DC Comics movie universe, and long before superhero movies dominated Hollywood… there was Blankman (1994). In this episode of the SuperHero Homies Throwback Series, we revisit the cult 90s superhero comedy Blankman, starring Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier, to see whether this forgotten comic book-style movie still holds up today. Our Throwback episodes celebrate movies that are 25+ years old, revisiting them with humor, nostalgia, and a modern pop culture perspective. This time, opinions among the Homies are split. Two of us absolutely loved revisiting this hilarious 90s comedy superhero movie, while the other two weren’t quite as convinced. Either way, the conversation is full of laughs and deep dives into what makes this film such a unique part of superhero movie history. In this episode we discuss: • The full Blankman (1994) movie review • Damon Wayans’ performance as the quirky DIY superhero • The comedic chemistry between Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier • The action, gadgets, and ridiculous superhero inventions • The plot, villains, and funniest moments in the movie • Whether the humor still works today • The movie’s cultural relevance in the 1990s • Why having a Black-led superhero comedy in the 90s without stereotypes was significant • Whether Blankman deserves cult classic status Even though opinions are divided, this throwback review is packed with funny moments, nostalgic discussion, and plenty of superhero movie commentary. Cold Open Discussion (First 20 Minutes) Before diving into our Blankman review, we kick things off with a discussion about Resident Evil Requiem. We talk about: • Why we’re enjoying the game so much • How it blends survival horror with action gameplay • Our thoughts on the Resident Evil franchise overall • Classic entries like Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica If you’re a fan of Resident Evil games, survival horror, and video game discussions, you’ll enjoy the opening segment.
