This week's "A" episode kicks off with one big bit of news, focusing on the trailer for Hit-Monkey, coming to Hulu in November! I go through the comics facts about all the relevant players in this discussion. After the regular weekly comic book pull list, I'm able to discuss both Marvel and DC comics announced for December release! While I'm not going through every solicitation of the month, I've picked out a few from either publisher that seemed interesting or worth mentioning. While the Marvel discussion is longer, there's more variety in what I'm excited for at DC! I'll be back this coming Friday, September 24th with another episode focusing on the the week's comic book Picks, the Wednesday episode 7 of What If...? on Disney+, and the Thursday episode of Titans on HBO Max! Have a peaceful equinox, find balance in your life as the days and nights become equal in length, and find time to get sweaty about your hobbies. Greetings!

The it's the TV of the week, including Wednesday's episode 6 of What If...? premiering on Disney+, and Thursday's episode of Titans on HBO Max.

What If...?, Titans, and the trailers discussions includes a great deal of comic talk, referring to the source material as we work out way through the topic. MCU speculation leads to a brief Young Avengers MCU talk! And the comics...well, there's always something to say about new comics, and I'm always excited for it. I'll be back this Friday, September 17th with an episode covering this week's Picks, the new episodes of What If...? and Titans, and anything le that hits the news!

Today's ultra-packed episode covers a ton of material, starting with the past week's comic Pick list, my favorites of which were New Mutants and the Harley Quinn Annual! DC and Marvel each had big announcements this week, with DC confirming their second annual DC Fandome online event, and Marvel releasing a loose schedule of upcoming titles for their comics slate. After those discussion, I'm covering Titans season 3 episode 6, as well as What If...? episode 4, titled, "What If...Doctor Strange Lost his Heart Instead of His Hands?" There was a lot to love in this dark retelling! Finally, this episode wraps up with a spoiler-free review of Shang-Chi, out in theaters now!

Have a great week, and remember representation matters in all media. Ep.32A: Comics Pull List, Marvel and DC Comics in November, Black Canary on HBO Max, and more!9/27/2021 Good Monday! It's been a quiet weekend so I changed things up a touch with the podcast format, starting off with the news and rumors segment! The news this week brings us the official announcement of a Black Canary movie on HBO Max starring Journee Smollet, the casting of Poison Ivy for Batwoman, and rumors of Multiverse of Madness and the Flash movie!
Then it's off to the comic pull list, where I am happy to be able to spotlight a off number of comics with excellent character and/or creator representation! That list includes two Mirka Andolfo projects, Joelle Jones' Wonder Girl, Peach Momoko's Demon Days reimagining of the Marvel Universe, and more! It's a wonderful week for positive representation. Finally, the last thing I talk about on this episode are the November Marvel and DC comics solicitations. Marvel's list includes a number of one-shots and mini series', while DC's is a whole lot of bat-family goodness! There's so much to look forward to at the end of the year, and always more being added on! I'll be back this Friday, September 3rd for the weekly B episode, covering the comic book Pick list, What If...? Episode 4, Titans episode 6, and anything else relevant for discussion! Have a chill week, stay positive, and sweat it out about comics! Ep.31B: NCBD Pick List ft. Marvel's Voices: Identity! + What If...? ep.3 & Titans ep.5 Discussions!9/27/2021 Happy Friday! We've got a slightly shorter "B" episode this week, starting off by covering the comic book pick list! This week's list includes Barbaric #3, Marvel's Voices: Identity #1, which celebrates Asian superheroes and creators, and Batman: Reptilian #3, among others.
The two shows I'm discussing on this episode are Marvel's What If...? episode three and Titans on HBO Max episode five! Both give a great deal to talk about and theorize over! I'll be back on Monday, August 30th for our last episode of the month, featuring the comics Pull List the news, and more! It's Tuesday, again! I took a gamble on the rumors being true about a Spider-Man trailer and waited off on the podcast till today--my gamble was correct! Last night debut the first teaser trailer for Jon Watts' No Way Home, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya! And in this podcast, I go over it all. From comics inspiration to potential plotlines, character cameos to barely-there clip flashes, I dissect the hell out of this bid deal trailer.
There's comics talk, too, of course, covering everything on my personal pull list for the week, including the delightful Cinnamon, Extreme Carnage: Riot, Marvel's Voices: Identity (celebrating Asian characters and creators), Stephanie Phillips' Harley Quinn, and more! I always have new comics to talk about, and they take up the first half (or so) of this episode. I'll be back on Friday, August 27th for Episode 31B, covering the comic book pick list of things I found worthy of discussion, but also Marvel's What If...? episode 3 on Disney+ and Titans episode 5 on HBO Max! (Make sure to check out the links below, some are new!) Ep.30A: NCBD Pull List, The Bad Batch FINALE, Titans Theories, WW Evolution, and Nichelle Nichols9/27/2021 Hello Monday! This week's "A" episode starts as normal, with the weekly comic book pull list! This week's incoming comics include a good deal of indie #1's some final issues, and three different Tom King titles! For an explanation on King's Bat/Cat romance as we've seen it play out so far, see episode 20A!
The big TV event of the past few days was the finale episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1. I loved the whole thing, which was full of tension, passion, and emotion! All of which are discussed in depth, as well as theories for the next season and where characters will go from here. Finally, in the news, I discuss some theories I have for Titans season 3, the announcement of the Wonder Woman Evolution series, Nichelle Nichols' (see: Star Trek's Lt. Uhura) conservatorship situation, and the coming episode of What If...?, which will be sure to tug on all of our heartstrings just a bit. And don't forget, Shang Chi tickets are now on sale! I'll be back this Friday, August 20th with an episode that will include the weekly comic book Pick list, discussion of Titans episode 4 and What If...? episode 2, possibly as well as the episodes of Superman and Lois I've missed, but no promises on that one. In the meantime, have an excellent week, and stay sweaty! Bwah-buh-buh-Bwaaahhh (air horn noises) It's another extra-sized podcast episode on this lucky Friday the 13th!
This week had SO much to talk about, I didn't want to leave anything out! We start the episode as usual with the comic book pick list, discussing titles like Mamo, Daredevil, Captain Marvel, and Fantastic Four: Life Story! After the pick list is a special segment on Free Comic Book Day 2021, which takes pace this Saturday, August 14th at your local comic book stores! Pop in during their event hours for a selection of FREE comics, which I highlight my personal upcoming favorites from here! After comics chat is the shows! We have three shows to discuss this week, starting with the premier of What If...? on Disney+. The premier episode was "What if...Peggy Carter was the first Avenger?" And boy, did it ROCK! I discuss all the relevant information about the episode relating to comic history, of course! After What If...? is Titans, season 3! The first 3 episodes were dropped on HBO Max yesterday, and they. were. epic! From a Death in the Family to the Killing Joke to every Easter egg I could find, it's a long, excitable discussion of this first releases from Titans season 3! Finally, I briefly discuss Taika Waititi's Reservation Dogs, another amazing show that premiered recently, which I cannot recommend enough to fans of Waititi's humor and storytelling style. Available to binge the first two episodes on Hulu! Once we get past the TV talk, onto the news! This week's news includes the casts of Netflix's Wednesday, which will follow Wednesday Addams and her parents, as well as Netflix's live-action Avatar remake. While I'm hesitant about the latter for obvious reasons, the showrunners of this new Avatar seem to have a solid grasp of where they're going with the show and it's characters. The last bit of news I wanted to share today involved Tim Drake officially becoming a member of the LGBTQ+ community at DC comics. I found a truly stellar article from Nerdist writer Eric Diaz on why this is an important development, both historically and in modern comics history. You can find the article here, or listen to me read it for you during this episode, because Diaz hit exactly the points I had in mind-- and so eloquently. Major Kudos. The episode wraps up with a brief statement on how Disney's Jungle Cruise is so much like a remake of The Mummy (1999). Trust me, I'll walk you through this one! It'll be fun, I promise. I'll be back this coming Monday, August 16th for another "A" episode, following the new comic book pulls for the week, the finale of Star Wars: the Bad Batch (which premiers tonight on Disney+), and any other industry news or speculation that breaks between now and then! Have a great weekend, stay hydrated, don't be a Karen, and do be sweaty! |
