Episode 105: We Have Heart

This is a short episode this week, but I do cover a lot of ground like the UFC, Majesty, organic food, and culture differences. Listen as my voice gets progressively worse throughout the episode. There was a lot of editing done.

I soldier through and cover The Vinyl Underground: Watching the Detectives (Si Spencer, Simon Gane, Cameron Stewart), which is very similar to every other English comic that takes place in London I’ve read. But it’s better than some, worse than others.

Episode 104: Make Your Own Smallville Finale

It’s been a few years since I’ve regularly watched Smallville, but of course, I had to watch the series finale. I “spoil” that. The finale was so bad an episode that I decided to make my own Smallville finale. How would you have done the last episode?

I cover the rather good Fables: Homelands (Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham). We finally get some answers to the main plot about the Adversary and who he is.

Episode 103: Summer Movies

I recently watched both Thor and Fast Five so you know I have to talk about them. Don’t worry, I don’t spoil them, but if you haven’t seen them, you should. And stay past the credits, this includes Fast Five.

There’s one sad, but unsurprising news this week as I say goodbye to FOX’s Human Target. I then move on talking about the imaginative, inventive, and something else that starts with ‘i’ in The Unwritten: Dead Man’s Knock (Mike Carey, Peter Gross). It’s Vertigo’s best ongoing series.

Episode 102: Icka-something

It’s that time of the year again to talk about the NBA playoffs—playoffs! I talk about how dirty the Lakers were and got swept by the Dallas Mavericks.

However, I spend most of the show talking about comics. Because I’m me, I mispronounce things, more than I usually do when I begin my journey to finish Fables by covering Fables: The Mean Seasons (Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham). Of course, it feels more like an epilogue than anything else. And if anyone could tell me what The Mean Seasons means, I’d be grateful.

Episode 101: Spin-N-Win

If you think I couldn’t tie Osama Bin Laden’s death with the rising prices in vending machines, you’d be wrong. Before I get political, I talk about Dave and Buster’s and how I’m a Spin-N-Win master! Oddly enough that gets me to talk about unhealthy couples.

I do remember to talk about comics by covering Demo (Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan). I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, considering the fact that I had no idea what it was about. There are, however, plenty of blurbs telling how excellent it is.
