From the vaults! Join the RTCBYD team as they discuss the dark graphic novel classic The Crow, taking in references to the movie and their own goth youth secrets. Join your hosts Stu Taylor, Neil Gortz and Lucy James in the final episode of this current series. Get in touch if you would like to hear more.
*AKA, an episode recorded way back that we've only just uploaded.
Bonus Episode! Found behind the sofa, this is technically the first episode of RTCBYD ever recorded, way back in February 2018*. Join your hosts Stu Taylor and Neil Gortz as they discuss this dark and challenging Punisher Max storyline by Garth Ennis and Leo Fernandez.
* Excuse the outdated references to the as yet to debut Infinity War movie and second season of the Punisher Netflix show.
In the penultimate episode of season one, Lucy "One Take" James, Neil "Stallone Defender" Gorton and Stu "Dinner Party" Taylor tackle the iconic Judge Dredd villain (villains?) Judge Death and the Dark Judges. Expect segues into giant vagina monsters and '80s dessert choices.
We're back after a mid-season break! This time Lucy James takes co-hosts Neil Gorton and Stu Taylor down to Fabletown... as she weaves a tale of why the critically-acclaimed Fables from DC Vertigo should be in your collection. Along the way we ask the big questions, like can a relationship survive someone eating their grandma and can you copyright a flying monkey?

Make Vampires Great Again! Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque (and some wannabe called Stephen King) gave vampire fiction a kick up the backside with American Vampire.

Welcome comrades to a Soviet Super Special edition of Read This Comic (Before You Die).

To celebrate Free Comic Book Day, the BAM Comicscast is giving you a sneak peek at the first episode of its new show, Read This Comic (Before You Die). This time Stu, Neil and Lucy will tell you why X-Men: Grand Design by Ed Piskor deserves to be in your comic book collection.
We're back with a whole new format! Here's an episode zero for a new BAM Comicscast podcast called Read This Comic (Before You Die), due to launch in Spring 2018. Stick with us and we'll help you build the ultimate comic book and graphic novel collection. This short preview features Stu Taylor, Neil Gorton and Lucy James giving you a sneak peek into what's to come during season one of the show.
It's a comic book spy special, as Neil and Stu were invited to a press screening for comic book movie sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle. They also interview the film's co-writer Jane Goldman about the film and comics like The Walking Dead, Paper Girls and Motor Crush.
Comics reviewed this time include Kingsman: The Red Diamond, Jimmy's Bastards, Miss Moneypenny and Velvet.

Neil and Stu kick off a new episode talking about how the classic Marvel Ultimate Alliance video game series from the '00s painted a very different picture of the Marvel Universe to what we see in the Cinematic Universe.
Then brace yourself for a bumper crop of comic book reviews, from Centipede, Darth Vader, Mister Miracle, Dark Nights: Metal, Marvel Generations and Bane Conquest.
There's even time to discuss whether legacy numbering for long-established comic series is a good or a bad thing.

Neil and Stu are back after a summer vacation. This issue was recorded on the 100th birthday of Jack Kirby, so is the perfect excuse to look at what Marvel and DC have published to mark the legendary creator's centennial. Also discussed is the Batman & Harley Quinn animated movie - fitting tribute for Harley's 25th birthday or a killing joke without a punchline?

Neil, Stu and Carly discuss their hot takes on San Diego Comic Con 2017. The gang discuss (deep breath) Justice League, Thor: Ragnarok, Inhumans, Captain Marvel, Ant Man & The Wasp, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Gears of War, Arkham Asylum 2, Pacific Rim Uprising, LEGION, Dr. Doom - The Movie, The Walking Dead and more!
Stu is joined by special guests Lucy (Gamespot) James and Gillen (Spider-Fan) McAllister to review the third big screen take on Spider-Man. Expect split opinions on Spidey's return to the MCU fold as well as a few nerdy revelations that you might have missed. It goes without saying that this one is spoiler-heavy, webheads.
Neil and Stu lose the plot without Carly's guidance and mistakenly declare that Burt Ward has died. Also hear our first-hand LA experiences, from the Adam West memorial, a whistlestop tour of Meltdown Comics and Legacy Comics & Cards, a tour of Warner Bros.
