We press on to the world of comics as a collectible industry and Jay has a cautionary tale of which the moral is CHECK TWICE, PRESS ONCE! Oh and something about slabs vs. raw... Anyways, tune in, sit back, relax, and SUBSCRIBE for (biannual) shenanigans!

The RetCon crew jumps back in the saddles for another episode of pure insanity. This time we take it back to the days of the lockdown, where streaming shows and gaming was nearly deemed a basic human right. Join AJ, Lou, and Nick as they rank their favorite Marvel shows over the last year and a half, alongside their anticipation for the new Marvel games slated for release! Then pick your 6! The gang goes down Memory Lane to the times where Pokemon reigned supreme in pop culture. The gang square off in which 6 pokemon are they mobbing with in their lineup.

Its been about a year and a half. We have been battered, and lost a few good ones. Society is starting to reemerge. Weather is wackier than before. DC and Marvel movies are being streamed directly into peoples' homes.  Art work is being sold as a form of electronic money. Rick Morranis took one to the jaw. And people are consuming an alarming amount of deworming meds... America is back. And so is the RetCon Project Podcast.  With a new logo, mind you!  And what happened to EP. 23? Check out our YouTube channel and find out why that didn't see the light of day on Spotify. Turns out, gaming streams make for crap radio. Who'd've thought? Anyways, The gang recaps the past year and a half of quarantine activities ranging from Marvel/DC/Netflix tv shows, movies, and comics. Lou contemplates the wild world of anime and asks "What gives?". AJ and Nick weigh in. We take a left somewhere and talk video games, music, and jazz. Then as a detox, the gang talks of life beyond the quarantine. What's next? Who knows-- that's half the fun. It's been too long. So sit back, relax, wait no-- get out there, go for a walk, stretch them legs from being shut in for a year and a half, but be sure to SUBSCRIBE for the latest shenanigans!

LIVE from Verdansk, its the RetCon Project! This is an audio rip, with a few BTS scripts, from our first ever LIVE PODCAST STREAM! AJ and Lou are joined up with COLBS Squad veterans, Jake and Silas, as we stumble through the warzone that is Call of Duty: Warzone. We talk games in this 1st episode of our newest "LIVE from" series. If you are familiar with the podcast, then you know we have zero clue what we are doing here on a streaming platform. But since the pandemic has grounded us into our corners of the world, we adapted our format to do something that we've been doing for a while...playing games. The success of this segment is irrelevant. It's a cure for boredom, and an outlet for the hot takes, goss, and garbage you are most familiar with from us. We may talk comics, we will talk games, but above all...we are here for a good time. We welcome you back! If you are new to the show, oh boyo...buckle up. And SUBSCRIBE to our youtube channel and to our Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts for new content (whenever that may be)!
