Cold Beer and Comics

2017 is over!  Lynch, Marsh, Josh, Kevin and Phil reunite to toast another year, another Star Wars, a life of poor decision making.  We have letters to Santa, and Lynch has one kickass pitch for a Fantastic Four movie.

Lynch, Marsh and Kevin talk about their first comic shops.  PLUS - Lynch eats 31 year old gum!  Marsh is on Tinder, but won't leave the house on a worknight.  Pour a beer, grab a comic and swipe right.

A quickie of an episode, to get the rust out of our joints!  We're broadcasting from ONE continent for the first time.   Booze: Brewery Vivant Undertaker News: Batffleck Remains, Man of 'Stache, Galaxy's Edge. Reviews: Aquaman: The Trench, Moon Knight vol. 1, Batman vs. Elmer Fudd

We talk about Corman's Fantastic Four and The Image Revolution, and pick our favorite politically themed comics.  Does Watchmen hold up?  Do Singer's X-Men movies make effective social commentary?

Three godless man-children convene on Easter Sunday to get holier than thou.  We talk about the Episode VIII teaser, Thor: Ragnarok, and review a trinity of sacrilegious books.

We talk about (and try to define) sleaze.  You'll hear about our first pornos, our favorite album covers, memorable movie posters, and the subversive pulp books of yesteryear...all set to a groovy track that would get even the nastiest Toydarian laid.  PLUS, we "direct" our own sleazy masterpieces.  Check your inhibitions, or you'll never survive this one.

Drinkers and Collectors Remorse!  Ever trade a Yak-Face for a Sgt. Savage?  Sell your X-Men #1 for weed?  You're among friends.  Come in and share. 0:02:26 - Drinker's Remorse 0:08:25 - What are you drinking? 0:14:05 - Collector's Remorse 0:41:57 - News 1:01:30 - Beer/Comic Pairing 1:03:08 - Reviews

On a very special episode of Cold Beer and Comics ... is Lynch dead? SPOILER WARNING: No, he isn't. But a new crew takes the reins this month while the guy who began it all takes a break. Enjoy as a whole new crew sits down with Marsh to talk about all the things we know and love ... like the dreamy Oscar Isaac. 

Stressed about life? No need to do what Marsh does to relax. Just sit back and have a pint of Chaotic Double IPA as we discuss Velvet Volume 1 and Bitch Planet Volume 1.

They move into TV talk where Marsh assures Corey that Sam Raimi is delivering a satisfying product with his Evil Dead show. The bulk of the show is Star Wars. Corey makes JJ an offer he can't refuse and we learn that everybody has a f%#@!ing price. Enjoy the show and contact us at coldbeerandomics@gmail.com to share your thoughts.

We have a Bigfoot sighting! We chat with Josh Henaman, the writer of Bigfoot: Sword of the Eartman from Action Lab, and play beer or bullshit.
