Ben has returned to the pod once again for our final episode of the year, discussing--what else?--a new film that he totally chose to talk about. It's our biggest episode yet, with plenty of bits and surprises in store for the folks at home. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer. It's Spider-Man: No Pod Home.
Discussed:
-Hawkeye #21
-The Matrix Resurrections
-How To with John Wilson
-Spider-Man: No Way Home
-Every Spider-Man movie ever made
Hello! This time, our hiatus was completely not our fault! I've been sitting on this episode for like three weeks but I didn't have time to edit it until like, today (you can tell at certain points, like the time I refer to Metroid Dread as "having come out last week" or the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie as "not having a trailer yet"). Have fun, I think it's a pretty good podcast! Of the ones we've made, maybe one of the better ones.
Discussed:
-Portrait of a Lady on Fire
-Metroid Dread
-The Last Look Trilogy by Charles Burns
-Ranking Every Modern Disney Animated Film, with Nik Protopapas

CONTENT WARNING - In the main segment of this episode, we do lightly discuss themes of suicide. That conversation starts at 35 minutes and ends at around 37 minutes.
We're back with special holiday guest Ben Bortner to talk about something that, oddly enough, isn't a comic book. There are plenty of bits, and a special surprise for those who stick around at the end. Well wishes and happy holidays.

Hey everyone - Had some slight production difficulties this time around, so Joe's audio is less clean than we'd like it to be, and he cuts out for a bit near the end - various programs were being uncooperative. That said, we still have a great show for you today! We're discussing Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Battlestar Galactica, and Vision vols 1-2!

We kick off a new phase of the show with an organizational mishap and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez's Love & Rockets!
Discussed:
-Twin Peaks (season one)
-A Boy Named Charlie Brown
-Love and Rockets ("Mechanics")
-Other early Love & Rockets stories (as explained on the show, we accidentally read a slightly different selection with some overlap. For the best Love & Rockets experience, I would suggest that you hunt down the omnibuses that are put out by Fantagraphics. Your library probably has them, and I think they're decently cheap. Don't do what we did!)
