This week we are talking about the positive influence that fictional super heroes have had on our lives.
But first, we are getting in a fight about the Ant-Man and Wasp trailer.
You wanna see what made Sebastian Stan laugh? It's this!
He's probably still laughing about it. And obsessing over the witty angel who gifted him with such a delightful joke.
STAR WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We saw the new Star Wars movie and we have so many thoughts about it! And we're joined by our pal J.Bone this week because he has thoughts too! We all loved it.
I have such complicated feelings about Kylo Ren. Why do I love horrible fictional men???
Anyway, don't listen to this episode if you haven't seen the movie because we spoil the hell out of it.
The 2017 Living Between Wednesdays Summer Book Club is nearly done! We'll be ending it next week with Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt. But first: it's Young Avengers by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung!
I seriously can't believe how old these comics are. 2005?! Seriously?! Steve Rogers still thought Bucky was dead! He didn't know how much worse the truth is!
Obviously between this recording and the day it was posted, Disney announced that J.J. Abrams will indeed be directing Episode IX of Star Wars. But maybe a weekly podcast isn't your most reliable source for up-to-date entertainment news.
If you want to read the "article" about how "Leonardo DiCaprio" "told" Stan Lee that he "wants" to play him in a movie, it's here.
And if you want to see some adorable Pennywise illustrations by J.Bone, here you go!
And if you want to see a picture of Sebastian Stan in VERY tight pants at TIFF last week, here you go:
He's gonna need help taking those off, I think...
See you next week for Kraven's Last Hunt!
It's the last episode of 2016! Dave and I went to see Rogue One (separately) and waited until recording this episode to share our thoughts. We have a lot of thoughts.
We also exchange Christmas presents!
Here is the Jabba the Hutt festive candy bowl that I gave to Dave:
And here's the Captain America toque that he gave to me!
Awwww thanks Dave!
And, for reference, here is the insane Suicide Squad toque I spotted in a store:
I mean, you could wear that with anything. This would have fit right in with the hats I reviewed on this blog back in 2010.
Alright, we're taking next week off and we'll see you in the new year. Let's end this garbage pile of a year with a very hot recent photo of Sebastian Stan.
Stop being so hot, Sebastian. It's gross.
Did you miss us? We're back! And there's so much to talk about!
Did you guys watch that Rocky Horror Show thing on Fox last week? Oof. Not good. Rocky's shorts were a god damn hate crime:
Let's just erase that image with a little...
Oh yeah. That's the stuff.
And speaking of the stuff, here's that Chris Samnee cover for Black Widow no. 10 that made me DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!
So cute! So exciting! So sexy!
Here's Spencer Tracy as Mr Hyde, looking basically better than I do most days:
Do check out Dave Tumblr so you can see all of his Fake Frights horror movie posters.
Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen everyone!!!
DCAF is over and Dave and I had a nice time! We recorded via Skype this week because I have somehow injured my neck and cannot drive. I think I'm really getting the hang of this Skype recording stuff, though. Sounds good!
It's week 7 of our summer book club and we read the 1988 DC space adventure, Cosmic Odyssey, by Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola. It really is great. We poke fun at it a lot in this episode, but we sincerely both love it.
Here is that article in the Washington Post I was talking about that talks about fan entitlement and the importance of submitting to the vision of the artist.
Here's the birthday tweet Chris Evans posted for Sebastian Stan that made news headlines (for some reason):
Happy birthday, Sebastian! I still remember that time I helped you with your college essay. pic.twitter.com/yQqtIV7P8Q

Here is the sketch that Michael Cho did for me of Captain America (dreaming about Bucky):
And here's the Plastic Man sketch he did for Mitchell:
Both totally excellent. We're very happy.
Speaking of happy, I was very excited to receive a package in the mail this week from our pal J.Bone! It included this ADORABLE little sketch of The Summer Soldier:
@originaljbone gives me the best presents. 💕 #wintersoldier

The Stucky fanzine by Jess Fink and Yuko Ota is, I believe, no longer available. But you can check out their awesome Tumblr sites, which will lead you to other great stuff you can read or buy: Jess Fink and Yuko Ota
Anyway, it's full of cute stuff like this:
I did buy a Winter Soldier dinky car, because obviously. On the Instagram post, Dave asked Steve Epting if he knew about this thing. He replied! He owns one himself. I like to think he means a full-size version. Like, that car is Steve Epting's ride.
JUST LIKE IN THE COMICS!!!! #wintersoldier

What a weird thing.
And, of course, I also got a hot Wal-Mart exclusive Winter Soldier figure.
Got a new boyfriend. Wal-Mart exclusive. #wintersoldier

And I am totally not putting him in weird, somewhat sexy scenes with my Captain America figure.
Valium is a really good drug.
Here's the panel from Cosmic Odyssey that really cracks me up:
"What? Oh, I don't care about that anymore. Look at this computer thing I did..."
Next week we're reading and discussing Batgirl: Year One/Robin: Year One!
Living Between Wednesdays is a place for people who love comic books and superheroes.
