Episode 95: Zoom In!

This show’s more comic oriented than normal. How odd. I talk a lot about the new digital comic app for the Android and one with the strangest spelled name—Graphic.ly. It’s a terrible program that needs a lot of work. You can hear me struggle with it.

A Preacher movie has been confirmed and I think I’m the only one who can see it working. I’m an optimist. Lastly, I finish the limited series of Army@Love: Generation Pwned (Rick Veitch, Gary Erskine). Why wasn’t this an ongoing especially in today’s world?

Episode 20: Marc's Gonna Burn

In this rather religious episode, Marc's picks don't portray God in the best of light, if you believe in such things. Jonathan doesn't know that there's no basement in the Alamo.

It's been a long road but the boys finally finished covering the entire series of Preacher with Preacher: Alamo (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon). There's also new, funny and awkward segments such as a Top 3, Roleplay and Casting Call. They also cover Proposition Player (Bill Willingham).

Episode 18: We Are Gods!

Things start off a little slow this episode. I think it's the drug induced stupor the boys are in. However, once things get going they ramble about movies, bagging comics, video games, books and eventually comics. This is one long episode about nothing.

They review House of Mystery: Room and Boredom (Sturges, Willingham, Rossi) and Preacher: All Hell's A-Coming (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon).

Episode 16: Dogma

In this episode, the boys talk about the failure of Watchmen. Also, considering the books they cover, it's no wonder there's an argument over religion, God and the like.

The books to kick this up are Testament: Akedah (Douglas Rushkoff, Liam Sharp) and Preacher: Salvation (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon).

Episode 13: Coughing Panda

Rebecca's MIA and we don't know why. We also probably spend too much time talking about Forum Static and various other things.

We also review Preacher: War in the Sun (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon) and DMZ: On the Ground (Brian Wood, Riccardo Burchielli).

Episode 10: Pop Culture

In this episode, Rebecca's as sick as a dog. The boys go on without her and talk about books, movies, television shows, and everything else.

They eventually talk about a couple of comics: Preacher: Dixie Fried (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon) and It's a Bird...(Steven T. Seagle, Teddy Kristiansen).

Episode 7: Odds and Ends

We discuss pretty much everything there is to discuss over this crazy Halloween weekend. Marc goes on a lot of rants as he can't control his ADD, and Rebecca has to deal with him all by her lonesome.

We also somewhat discuss True Faith (Garth Ennis, Warren Pleece) and Preacher: Ancient History (Garth Ennis).

Episode 4: Cowboys and Indians

Howdy, Pilgrim! In this extremely long episode (sorry folks), we take a look at Cowboys and Indians—it's hard to say which book is which though. Mosey on down as we read Scalped: Indian Country (by Jason Aaron, R.M. Guera) and Preacher: Proud Americans (by Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon).

Marc talks about his disappointment with the Wii, his excitement with getting a 360, and what else is going on in the gaming industry. Not to mention he offends even more creators, religious folk, listeners, and yes, even God too. The only one he doesn't offend is Garth Ennis (he loves him).

Jonathan talks about why he was missing last episode and how he went on a holiday. He also talks about what he thought about the last episode and why he doesn't like Catcher In the Rye (what's wrong with him?)

We talk about who could possibly be starring in Y: The Last Man and why Rebecca doesn't like him. We also go over a few errors and corrections and Rebecca sure knows her porn.

Come join us as we discuss and argue over all sorts of stuff. And there's man love. Lots of man love.

Episode 3: One Man Down

In this rather long episode, we're one man down. We don't know where the hell Jonathan is but he does leave us his thoughts and prayers. Sans prayers. Rebecca and Marc sure do a lot of talking about nothing.

Marc cries since HBO is pulling the plug on Preacher. However, they cover his favorite trade of the series, Preacher: Until the End of the World (by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon), and Jesse's messed up background brings another tear to his eye.

Rebecca sure gets giddy as we cover her favorite series, Fables: Legends in Exile (by Bill Willingham and Lan Medina). She could spout about it for hours, and believe me, she sure tries.

Enjoy this two plus hour episode as we talk about religion and fairytales. Not that there's a difference between the two.
