Superboy: ”Countdown to Nowhere” (1988) Commentary

Come one come all to a brand new series here at The Novice Elitists Headquarters. Now that we've finished up our initial Justice League series, we're switching gears to focusing on individual team members, starting with our boy Supes. I would have said 'Superman' but we're not quite at those manly days yet, and are instead turning our eyes to the Smallville years of The Man of Steel. Emphasis on the Small, and not so much on the ville, as we look at the pilot to Superboy! Set in Florida...for some reason.

The Amazing Screw-On Head (2006) Commentary

The Novice Elitists boys are back, and we're still enjoying our time on the Pilotsville tour through the ages.

So watch the episode on youtube if you've never seen it, and then watch it again with us, as we see whether this show deserved to go to series, or be forgotten to the annuals of television history. Click play and find out!

 

And because we here at The Novice Elitists studios wanted to make sure we gave a little more bang for your buck on this free episode, we've included the part of our spoilerific Tenant discussion that we managed to record.

Wonder Woman (2011 TV Pilot) Commentary

The Novice Elitists hop on the train to Pilotsville, with the first in a new series covering bad Superhero pilots. We give a break on the unfinished effects, and/or music, but we got strong words for the other quite terrible aspects of the production.
