James Gunn

Guardians Holiday Special

Gunn spends time with friends in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’ (2022)

December 20, 2025December 20, 2025 John Hansen Christmas

Superhero Saturday (TV review): It doesn’t rise to regular-rotation status, but hey, it’s loads better than when “Star Wars” tried this.

Peacemaker Season 2

Gunn’s ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 is no joke, despite a lighter tone from the DCEU days

November 24, 2025November 24, 2025 John Hansen DC Universe

TV review: Never losing sight of his makeshift family, Gunn also uses multiverse portals to indicate how the DCU is both a continuation and a fresh start.

Superman 2025

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is very Gunn and very 2025

July 23, 2025July 23, 2025 John Hansen DC Universe

James Gunn cuts loose in DCEU’s ‘Peacemaker’

January 19, 2022February 21, 2022 John Hansen DC Extended Universe

The Suicide Squad

‘The Suicide Squad’ is Gunn’s latest pop-art masterpiece

August 9, 2021April 18, 2025 John Hansen DC Extended Universe

Movie review: James Gunn can make colorful entertainment like this in his sleep, but it’s the extra attention that makes this sequel better than the original.

Slither

‘Slither’ (2006) a fun small-town infestation romp

April 30, 2021June 5, 2021 John Hansen Horror Movies

Frightening Friday (Movie review): “Slither” isn’t scary, but it is disgusting. Yet the gross-out imagery is so cartoonish that it’s more funny than gross.

‘Super’ (2010) subversively funny, shockingly violent

October 12, 2019May 1, 2023 John Hansen Movies

Superhero Saturday (Movie review): James Gunn’s indie-style film is as subversively funny as it is shockingly violent.
