Comics, movies, games, booze, and more
Hey everyone. Episode 90 has been published and should be available in just a short while.
This week we get into a subject we realized has been lacking on our show, technology. We talk about some of the new cell phones and phablets coming out soon. We discuss the updates to the Chris Hardwick and James Gunn stories. We also talk about the trailers for upcoming movies and TV shows that have come out in the last week. As usual there is also the usual side tracks, shenanigans, and booze.
We went a little long on this episode. Part of the reason for that was the we have our first guest in quite a while on this episode. We talk about how the NY Times dropped a spoiler for the Gotham Wedding. We discuss Luke Cage season two (no spoilers) and the MCU TV shows. We discuss whether or not a lightsaber could cut through Captain America’s shield. Then we finish the show off with our latest super powered smackdown, the sidekicks.
There is a lot to cover this week. We discuss a lot of different things this week and still don’t get to everything we wanted. We talk about the new Freeform show Cloak and Dagger, the upcoming DC Universe streaming service and the original shows they have announced. We talk about a couple of movies that have been announced that may leave you wondering, “do we really need this?” We discuss the big NASA news from Mars. All this plus a lot of follow the thought bubble, as we see where our conversations go.
We are still recovering from seeing Avengers: Infinity War last weekend. We give you our first thoughts on it this week, plus talk about how they’ve done a huge Hulk smash of all opening weekend records. We also talk about a few video games we’ve been playing. Then we wrap everything up by deciding what to do for our next super powered showdown.
We’re keeping things short this week. We talk about the Star Wars Costume exhibit that is traveling around the country. We discuss Chris’ initial thoughts on Ready Player One (no spoilers). Then we finish the show off talking about a Marvel Cinematic Universe post shared with us on Facebook. What MCU character belongs to what Hogwart’s house?
This week’s show has us creating another super team, this time based on alien characters from the Marvel and DC universes. We also discuss alignment in D&D and whether it is still relevant and usable in games, as well as pulling characters from various media in as examples of certain alignments. We also talk about some new trailers for The Crimes of Grindelwald, Corbra Kai, and Titans.
This week we discuss the newest trailers for the Netflix shows Luke Cage, and Lost in Space. We talk about some of our favorite older (pre-90’s) sci-fi TV shows. The biggest topic of the week is our review, with spoilers, of Marvel’s Black Panther. We finish the show off by setting up our next super team matchup.
This week we talk about the news that one of our favorite writer/directors, Kevin Smith, had a massive heart attack. Luckily, he is going to be ok. We discuss his movies and how he was one of our inspirations for this podcast. We also tackle our Magical Super Teams this week. We put them together and let you, the listener, decide which team would win in a battle. We also touch on the latest Ready Player One trailer, US Men’s Curling Gold, and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book.
This week we talk about Black Panther’s opening weekend (spoiler free). We discuss the new movie Annihilation opening this coming weekend, as well as the strange international distribution plan the studio is using. We get into Ash vs Evil Dead a bit, with their season 3 premier coming up. We also give our comic book movie Mt Rushmore, the 4 comic book movies deserving of being immortalized in stone for what they were and did for the genre. To wrap things up we set up the rules for our next super team showdown. All we can say is that it will be magical. Slainte!
This week we talk about the new movie trailers that were released during the Super Bowl as well as the days following it, including Solo: A Star Wars Story and Avengers: Infinity War. We talk a little bit about Deadpool 2 and the movie poster Ryan Reynolds posted. We get into the summer movie release list as well. We discuss space travel and the launch of the Rocket X Falcon Heavy. We set the rules for our first super team competition, as proposed by one of our listeners, and will present our teams next episode. All this plus the alcohol and our typical ramblings you’ve come to expect.
