Episode 126 - Scheduling Stress

This week we are talking about scheduling in the comic book industry, and I swear it's more interesting than you would think. I hope so, anyway.

Hillary joins us again to talk about the latest episode of The X-Files. We are also joined by two fighting cats.

We lay down some unpopular opinions about Logan and The Shape of Water, in an effort to lose most of our listeners.

But, I will win you back with this link to Sebastian Stan's Hugo Boss modelling video:

Helllllllllooooo Summer Soldier!

Enjoy the episode. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Podcast - Episode 125: Embarrassing Comic Book Purchases

We are joined by two guests this week to celebrate our 125th epsiode: Hillary Titley and Denzel Noylander. We publicly admit some of our more embarrassing comic book purchases.

Hillary and I came straight from a screening of Call Me By Your Name to record this episode, so we are very distracted.

I mean...

So cute!!!!

Anyway.

This is the little thing I wrote about that 1993 Hockey Digest article. I'll write a follow-up soon about my thoughts on it now that I've read it again. Huge thanks again to Johnathan!!!

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.
