Podcast - Episode 148: Saga of the Super Sons

Oh man. I hope you guys are ready for some RIDICULOUS NONSENSE.

If it were up to me, every episode of the podcast would be about Bob Haney's wonderful 1970s creation, the Super Sons.

I have written about the Super Sons a couple of times on this blog. Here are some links, if you would like to see some panels:

Crazy in Love: the Saga of the Super Sons (Jan 2007)

Gigantic Fun with the Super Sons (Aug 2007)

Oh, Super Sons.

And here is that panel of Superman Jr. carrying Batman Jr. like a platter:

I mean, what the hell, Batman Jr? You can't swim?

I'll bet the sex they have is NUTS.

Alright, see you next week for THOR!!!!

Podcast - Episode 131: Dream Casting the New Gods Movie

There's gonna be a New Gods movie (probably)!

Dave has drafted an extensive list of actors he would like to see play his beloved Fourth World characters. I think it's pretty solid.

If you want a quick intro to the New Gods, we recommend watching this three-minute clip from the Superman animated series:

If you want to watch a very awkward, but also very sexy, interview with Sebastian Stan from the set of Infinity War, you can check this out:

My boy can fill out a t-shirt.

And speaking of which, this is the photo I showed Hillary of artist Jorge Jimenez. She did not believe he is a comic book artist, and I can't blame her:

I mean...how? What?!

Anyway, I would totally be down to finish his roughs or whatever.

See you next week!

Podcast - Episode 130: Superhero Makeovers

You know when a creator completely changes an existing character and then that character stays that way forever (for better or for worse)? We're talking about that this week.

No new episode next week. I'm gonna be in sunny Toronto! We'll be back March 21!

Podcast - Episode 124: Fandom!

Hillary joins us again, and I used it as an opportunity for GIRL TALK!!!!!!!

Sort of. Hillary and I are both no strangers to fandom. Dave maybe has a different approach to the properties and creators that he loves. A *normal* approach, some might call it. One that allows you to function in your day to day life without thinking things like "Man, I'll bet Mulder would really hate this bus ride I'm on right now."

Anyway, we have a lot of thoughts about engaging with fandom, as opposed to merely being a fan, and why the fan experiences of a straight white cis male might be different from, y'know, everyone else when it comes to consuming culture.

But we also talk about comic books. And X-Files.

Anyway, LOOK AT DILTON!!!!!

Dilton, Riverdale doesn't deserve you.

Podcast - Episode 123: Comic Book Sequels

Are comic book sequels every any good? Ehn...sometimes. Sort of. We talk about a bunch of them in this episode, good and bad.

We are also joined by Hillary Titley this week to talk about the X-Files, and also about I, Tonya (in what is possibly the loosest segment of 'This Week in Winter Soldier' ever).

Dave and I get into it again over Batman: Year Two. That damn comic is going to end our friendship one day. We did an episode once about things we disagree on, and it got pretty heated. 

My thoughts on Batman: Year Two, are well-documented.

Next week we are gonna talk about fandom and reminisce about fandoms we have been a part of and how we feel about fandom in general today.

Podcast - Episode 122: Comic Book Resolutions

We're back with a brand new theme song, courtesy of Wordburglar! It's awesome! Check out his website and buy all of his music!

We have some 2018 resolution suggestions for comic book publishers, and we get to those in the last part of the episode.

If you want to see what the hell we're talking about when we're describing that 'Create Your Own' Marvel comics thing, here are the details.

And if building a bronze statue of Wolverine in Fort McMurray, Alberta is a cause that is important to you, you can donate to the indiegogo page here.
