Podcast - Episode 99: Spider-Man 3 (2007)

We have reached the end of the Spider-Man road. Spider-Man 3 is a divisive movie, in that there exists a chasm and on one side stands Dave and me, and on the other stands everybody else on earth.

We like this movie, is what I am saying. We like it a lot.

Look, the portrait of Willem Defoe is the best. THE. BEST.

And Bernard the butler rules. Check it out:

That is just some insane line delivery.

We talk a bit about The Quick and the Dead at the end of this episode, and, guess what, that deleted sex scene is STILL kind of hard to find online. It was deleted so the movie wouldn't get an R rating. This is the best I could find, and it has a watermark right in the middle:

But if you want to see Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe go to town on each other when they are both in their prime, CLICK THAT ARROW.

And if you've never seen that movie WATCH THAT MOVIE!

And if you want to see something dumb I did, check out the post where I use RuPaul's Drag Race GIFs to depict the cast members of Marvel's Secret Empire.

It was not a weird thing to do.

Ok, see you guys in a couple of weeks for Spider-Man: Homecoming and the launch of our summer book club!!!

Podcast - Episode 97: Spider-Man (2002)

The release of Spider-Man: Homecoming is nigh so Dave and I have decided to spend the next three episodes revisiting the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy.

This week we also were dismayed to learn of the passing of Adam West. Here is a link to the Lookwell pilot: 

And here`s a link to the entire Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt:

And related to Spider-Man, here is a link to the screen test for a Green Goblin mask that was closer to the comic book design:

And, finally, here is the teaser trailer for the 1985 Spider-Man Cannon Films movie that was never made:

Weird.

Thanks for listening! See you next week for Spider-Man 2!

Podcast - Episode 95: Never Duplicated

You know those characters that never really look right unless they are drawn by one, or maybe two, particular artists? We're talking about those guys this week.

I'm gonna be straight with you: I have no time to write this blog post today. Any spare time I'm getting will be devoted to reading the one zillion Secret Empire tie-ins that were released today. Plus I'm going to see Wonder Woman tonight so I'm all excited.

Enjoy the episode! Love you guys!

Podcast - Episode 88: Let's Talk About Marvel

Oh, Marvel. Why can't you just stop saying dumb things?

David Gabriel says that fans are complaining about too much diversity in their books, and Axel Alonso says no one cares about artists (I am paraphrasing heavily here). Dave and I have some other ideas about what might be causing Marvel's sales slump.

I was going to post a bunch of terrible panels from Thunderbolts #11 here, but why beat a dead horse? Hopefully my beloved Bucky will find himself in a better looking book soon.

It's a fun episode! I can't think of much to post this week. Enjoy!

Podcast - Episode 84: Logan

What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than to talk about the latest, and please God final, Wolverine movie, LOGAN?

Also, because it's International Women's Day, I'm gonna totally phone in this blog post and fill the rest of it with pictures of hunks! Enjoy!

Armie, you dapper son of a bitch. Oh! And you've brought me a gin and tonic! How darling of you! I would like to join this Armie. Sign me the hell up. I'll do many consecutive tours.

Oh, Christopher. With your perfect beard and your Canadian tuxedo and your mild hangover (probably). Let's go somewhere. 

Byung-hun Lee. You are far too hot to not be the star of every North American movie. Look at you, with your perfect face and silky hair and flawless body. So engrossed in my Instagram account you don't even notice that your towel is slipping.

Aw, honey. Is your swimsuit all bunchy? It just seems to be caught on...something. It's really...got a tight grip on you, enveloping you in slick wetness...

I know, Sebastian sweetie. It's cold. And you thought going to work in just some fancy, low-riding sweatpants and a medallion would be warm enough, but alas. Good thing I had this spare fleece throw.

Michael B. Jordan (the "B" stands for buhwuhhrngggg), I can't believe you spilled your LaCroix all over yourself AGAIN! Come here, I'll get you cleaned up.

Alex, darling. I didn't see Tarzan. But I look at this still from that film every day. 

Trevante...you are my new favourite. I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but you may step into my office now. Thank you for dressing appropriately.

Ohhhh Henry. I love you and your super casual, perfectly-lit work-out photos. 

Look at these adorable boyfriends. I will absolutely join you boys in a minute.

Oh, why not a little classic Paul Newman in the mix?

And let's finish with a slo-mo gif of Chris Evans running his fingers sexily through his hair, with bonus foreground Anthony Mackie.

If I were that interviewer I would be like "What can we expect from Captain America in the upcomin-buuuuuuuuuh..."

Podcast - Episode 81: The Lego Batman Movie

We got slammed by a giant, unending blizzard this week and it stranded us in our respective homes. So this episode was recorded over the phone, which means I sound FANTASTIC and Dave sounds like he's over the phone. But we are both bringing our A-game, don't worry.

Not gonna lie, it takes us awhile to get around to talking about The Lego Batman Movie, but we do discuss it.

First we talk about Marvel's upcoming Secret Empire event (aka - The HydraCap event). I am VERY into this cover for issue #0:

HydraCap can GET. IT.

We talk about the third episode of Riverdale for a bit. You can see my old blog post that breaks down the Archie comic where Dilton offers to write songs for The Archies, is rejected, and instead starts his own cool band, here.

Alright. Enjoy! My arms are tired and sore from shoveling.
