Then, we went to the Hollywood Bowl and saw Herbie Hancock. the last 20 mins of this cast are mostly field recordings of some INSANE jazz that Herbie and Co. performed at the Bowl. It was absolutely amazing and I hope you enjoy this super fun ep!

What an ep! The penultimate episode of chapter 1 of Can I Thwipp it.  Ride with us on our day of fun leading up to "Into The Spider-Verse." This week we took the mic out and about and had an amazing day in LA.  First we went to the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie premier at the Chinese Theatre where there was an exclusive Dragon Ball Tour stop and Tamashii Nation booth. Then we went to the Venom Block Party & DVD/Blu Ray release party. We met Todd McFarlane there. He patted me on the back, it was cool. Then we went and saw "Into the Spider-Verse"!! Tune in to see what we thought of all those things and then find out about our big episode 50 extravaganza!  **PM us on instagram @Can_I_Thwipp_It or comment on a photo there in order to win exclusive Gashapon Dragon Ball swag or FREE COMICS!!!**

This week we tackle the Dark Knight as only Can I Thwipp it can.  First, we go deep into the Bat's silver screen appearances from the 1940's serial to BatFleck. Next, we discuss the one creator we feel had the most profound impact on the caped crusader, Frank Miller.  Then, with the help of the DC Universe app we selected a random Batman issue (by choosing a random number out of the 700 or so issues in the Batman ongoing title).  Our random issue is #413 "The Ghost of Masahiko Tahara" and it turned out to be a pretty great issue complete with a cool villain and a museum exhibition gone wrong.   In the ish, Batman uses a mug that reads "#1 Super Hero," hahaah. Finally, we couldn't help but check in on Spidy-Corner and see what's up in the Spider-Verse and with those new Spidy Jordan 1's!!  So light up your Bat-Signal, fire up the Bat-Bong, get the Bat-Shark repellant and everybahhhdy....CHIIIIIILLL! 

This week we examine the history of Spider-Man in live action! From the first fan film in 1969 to Infinity War, Thwipp with us again!  Spider-Man was the first Marvel property to be brought to Hollywood by Stan Lee and the ole' web head had a bit of a rough start. Stan didn't like the 1977 made for TV movies much.  He said that Peter didn't seem like Peter.  We agree.  From there we explore the Japanese "Supaidāman" (1978-79) and then we go from TV into film.  Did you know in the late 80's Tom Cruise was set to be Peter and Bob (Mario) Hoskins was going to be Doc Ock?  That woulda been crazy. Once we're out of development hell we go through the Raimi-Verse then into the Webb-Verse then into what we all know and love today in the MCU.  Spidy has been through many variations and iterations but where we are now is just...Spectacular and Amazing!  Thwipp on you wondrous Web-heads!  Links: The first live-action film based on Spider-Man was the unauthorized short Spider-Man by Donald F. Glut in 1969 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yezvybYXlXs Spider-Man TV movies 1977-1981 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uRLgeEepzg Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTRzpRTJn-o Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (1981) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXrZrUmmsp8 "Supaidāman" (1978-79) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofDcYPlTze0      

This week we give credit where credit is due.  This week we honor Stan "The Man" Lee.  Stan and his Amazing Friends!  This ep we really get into some history.  We took notes, this is the real history of Stan and you can't get into that history without talking about Jack and Steve.  We really got deep into the relationship between Stan and Steve Ditko and the belief structure of Ditko's Objectivism. We also reflect on Lee by decade and talk cameos and what Stan's legacy is in the world of comics.  Then we look into the Captain Marvel prelude.  This ep' we feature Manus' song Betty (feat. 56xansaintcool) Much love to Stan and his family and his memory. He was the face and voice of marvel but he was not the look. He helped shape a world and how we heard it but it was Jack and Steven And JR etc that crafted the visual style that is equally as amazing.  Thanks Stan and thanks to your Amazing Friends.  This amazing video helped us get to know Steve Ditko very well, it's called "Why Steve Ditko Quit": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe21fi7wAxw Check out all Stans Cameos here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aXfFjvUgzM

This week is ALL SPIDY!! WE going deep into the Clone Conspiracy! So hold onto your DNA, keep your clones close and calm down you Jackals cause it's Can I Thwipp it!!!    This week we do also look at Marvel Knights 20 as well as recommend the new Green Lantern by Grant Morrison!  Also, do what ever you can to check out "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy." It is an amazing story that we totally got into this week!  Thanks and enjoy!   

We are back and this week we...are...SMOKIN!! Tune in to hear what the best comic streaming service is, hear about the Mask comic book, The Clone Conspiracy takes center stage in "Spidy Corner" and we debut 2 new songs by the boys...all that and more on Can I Thwipp It! This week we are firing on all cylinders after seeing Tenacious D on the Jimmy Kimmel show earlier in the week.  First we get into a conversation about which comic streaming service is the best, is it DC Universe, ComiXology Unlimited or Marvel Unlimited? Then, thanks to ComiXology, we got to read and dive deep into "The Mask" comic. We see where it started (Dark Horse Presents #10 and Mayhem #1-4), how it differs from the movie and then we each pitch our own new Mask movie/series.  Then...the debut of our new track, from the Grant Rozmarin aka Boognish Monster tribute album "Mutilated Hits," Put Your Boobs On (Remix)!  We, Thwipp It Boys, are super proud of this!!  Next, we sit down in the "Spidy Corner" to learn the ins and outs of "The Clone Conspiracy" with Dr. Manus. (His doctorate is in Spidy studies)  Then we debut the new Manus track, fresh off it's appearance in Amazon Prime's The Romanoffs, "Savior."  Lots of big drops this week!!! Enjoy!!! 

It's Halloween y'all and comics have done an amazing job of incorporating monsters and spooky, scary elements with their greatest heroes. We'll cover some favorites and then, obvi, talk about Spidy. All that and more with FrankenManus & WareEli by Night this week on...Tales From The Thwipp!  This week we talk about:  Some of the cool Halloween stuff in and around LA Manus' MezCo One:12s Tiki Surf Witches Want Blood The X-Men vs. Dracula / Uncanny X-Men #159 Legion of Monsters Then More Spider-Verse Primeing with:  Spider-Man: The Other until we get cut off...  Always remember your charger that is the real fright this week!!
