Episode 100: Extravaganza!

I celebrate this 100 episode by dragging a few people on to talk about the Y: The Last Man series—spoilers and all. We also stray off topic because that’s the way I run my show. Thanks again to Karen and Rob for joining me and for you listeners that have stuck with me for 100 episodes. It’s been a long road.

Episode 96: Inverted Commas

I recently signed up for Netflix, and spend a few minutes talking about it and all the movies I’ve watched—namely, romantic comedies.

There’s a little bit of news from Emerald Comic-Con. It’s nothing exciting but it is “news.” I go over Y: The Last Man—Whys and Wherefores (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). I talk about the little good, the mostly bad, and the very ugly of the entire series.

Episode 94: The Champ Is Here!

I celebrate my recent victory in my local Northern California League for L5R despite tanking the last two tournaments. I’m that good. I then talk about the NBA Dunk Contest and the homecooking Blake Griffin got.

There’s a minor bit of news this week before I go over Y: The Last Man—Motherland (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). One more trade before I done covering how bad Y is. What more is there to say about it? Really?

Episode 92: That's What She Said

Football season’s finally over, but there must be one last show about it. I talk about the Superbowl, but I spend more time going over the horrible halftime, the all right commercials, and the awesome movie trailers they showed.

I’m tired of talking about Y: The Last Man, but I’m also amazed about how I can find something new and terrible each trade. This week I go over the talking and sitting or standing that Y does so well in Y: The Last Man—Kimono Dragon (Bryan K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra).

Episode 90: Conveniently Down

I’m a bit grumpy this week, more so than normal. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m old. I spend a few minutes talking about my card tournament and while I scrubbed out, I got to play the new Back to the Future card game. Now that’s good. Go get it.

There’s actually some news this week. Surprise, surprise. I then go on yet another rant about Y: The Last Man—Paper Dolls (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). Even I’m getting tired of talking about how bad it is.

Episode 88: Love Stories

I’m back for the new year! Did you miss me? Don’t answer that. To kick things off for 2011, I start things off a little differently and definitely weirder. To begin the new year, you should watch RedLetterMedia finish its analysis of the overrated Episode III.

There’s actually news this week or maybe it’s because it’s been awhile since I last recorded. Sadly, I begin the first show of this year by going over the rather repetitive Y: The Last Man—Girl on Girl (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra).

Episode 86: Role Reversal

It’s a bit of an oddity this week. I hate something I normally love and I love something I normally hate. I kick things off talking about the rubbish that is Transformers Prime. Listen to me break it down on how bad it is from the CGI, characters, voice acting, plot, etc.

I then move on to Y: The Last Man--Ring of Truth (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). Things are a bit dicey as I try to talk about it. I really shouldn’t have taken an unexpected week off. Plot holes aside, I do enjoy the book.

Episode 84: Why Oh Y?

Things start off normally enough. I talk about the unofficial sponsor of my show, Instocktrades, and their new and improved but not exactly bug free, website. It's just one long commercial. Also, the first trade of Kill Shakespeare is out. Go buy it at Instocktrades.com.

I reach a low point on the show when I talk about Y. Why am I reading this? Why do people like it? Y does get me to do something I haven't done in awhile--rant. Warning: this episode contains S&M, abuse, drugs, bullying, and everything else people whine about.

Episode 82: Musical Madness!

If you hate hearing me sing, this episode ISN'T for you. I'm more loopy than normal and all over the place. I blame Daylight Savings. I talk poker, Halloween, sports and of course The Walking Dead because everybody else is.

There's a bit of sad news this week in yet another Vertigo cancellation. It's actually a bit of a surprised in which title it is. Lastly, I do a bad job of covering Y: The Last Man--One Small Step (Brian K. Vaughn, Pia Guerra).

Episode 79: Big Business

Not that any of you care or will understand, but I talk about my previous day of gaming. I may not have won but I did win a lot of cool prizes, including my first raffle ever! I also spend some time talking about big business and how it makes no sense.

There's news this week. Well, one rumor, one sad bit of info and one eh piece. I continue a debate by myself when I discuss Y: The Last Man--Cycles (Brian K. Vaughn, Pia Guerra).

Episode 67: The Whale Tail

I'm joined this week by Frank A. Rincon from a Half Hour Wasted podcast. We talk about what to watch post Lost. I also get to know Frank as we discuss a couple of Vertigo titles he's read. We have a lot of differences over TV, comic books, and movies yet we manage to get along well and have a lot of fun.

There's a few news items this week. We cover and discuss digital comics and a recent DC exclusive. We finally talk about 100 Bullets: First Shot, Last Call (Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso).

Episode 6: Raging Racist

Rebecca talks about her Mid-Ohio Con experience. She also reminds us about Sweetest Day. Yeah, we've never heard of it either. There's also plenty of talk about the Civil War, racism, politics, the election, voting, and free-range chickens. Somewhere in between all that we talk comics.

We review, discuss, and argue over Y: The Last Man, vol. 1: Unmanned (by Brian K. Vaughn & Pia Guerra) and Loveless, vol. 1: A Kin of Homecoming (by Brian Azzarello & Marcelo Frusin).
