As epic as Batman throwing down on a coke-addled Dazzler, dadsbigplan's Aaron Weber and Alan Rapp check in twice a month to take on what's new in comics, sci-fi tv & film, and whatever strange doings in the industry are tweaking them out at the moment.

Okay, so we’ve been super slack on the podcasts, but that’s no reason we can’t say give a little holiday cheer courtesy of a Tom Waits-obsessed Alphamonkey. Happy Christmas/Crimble/Holidays, everyone.
AWWWWWWW YISS. It’s THE WOLVERINE! AKA ALMOST ENOUGH SHIRTLESS HUGH JACKMAN! Trevon, Alan, and Aaron drunkenly barrel through the cinematic saga of the X-Men franchise to celebrate(ish) the latest entry in Fox’s ongoing assault upon Aaron’s entire childhood! We belatedly talk about Pacific Rim! Comic-Con! The wonders of old-timey Aerosmith. This episode totally brought to […]
Sweet Jupiter’s jelly beans! It’s episode 40 of the Four Color Freak-Out and boy howdy do we have stuff to rant talk about. Comics! E3! Xbox One vs PS4! And a little indie movie called “MAN OF STEEL”. Joining us in the jump seat is Kansas City podcast butterfly Trevan McGee so sit back, keep […]
What the?! Yup, it’s another Four Color Freak-Out covering three weeks(!) of comics, Doctor Who, the vagaries of acronyms versus made-up words, anticipation of the Man of Steel, and the best of 80’s crushes! It’s also 2 hours long! So for those of you with long commutes: You’re welcome. To the rest of you: We’re […]
Oh, goodness…it’s 1 hour and 30 minutes of Doctor Who, the week in comics, and of course a tribble ranch of Star Trek Into Darkness! Oh, and a little thing we like to call “the return of Bobby”. We don’t spoil the shit out of Star Trek because mostly we can’t articulate our thoughts particularly […]
Okay, so we lied. No Bobby and we blow past 45 minutes like it’s the check-out counter at Randy Quaid’s hotel*. But we’ve got a veritable SLEW of comics to cover as well as Doctor Who, Iron Man 3 spoilers, Free Comic Book Day (and how Atomic Robo totally owned that day), the wisdom of […]
Holy. Crap. We’re back, baby! Not a joke and not a one-off! The Four Color Freak-Out returns in a bite-sized 45 minute episode to dig in on the succulent meal that is Iron Man 3! We cover what’s happened in uh…like half a year in DC and Marvel news, and talk a little bit about […]
Yup, you read that right: It’s an hour and 15 minutes of nothing but The Dark Knight Rises discussion with your hosts Aaron & Alan, along with our pals Trevon McGee and Ian McFarland. Worry not, folks! It’s a wholly spoiler free discussion of Christopher Nolan’s last chapter in his Batman trilogy and as you […]
That’s right, folks! It’s a second consecutive week with a Freak-Out! It’s almost like a big comic book movie is set to come out or something! Oh, wait…there is, and Amazing Spider-Man is really, really good! Our long-lost pal Bobby Bierley returns to the fray to help us cover a week in comics, Amazing Spider-Man, […]
Wakey wakey, Bladerunner! It’s time to FREAK-OUT over Pixar’s Brave, the meh-fest that was Prometheus, the return of Stephanie Brown (kinda), a whole mess of AvX, and a look back at the books that’ve pissed us off this summer! We’re even sober! Get your listen on before some a-hole tells you not to see Brave […]
Holy crap, it’s Saturday! It’s also time for a Lo-Fi edition of The Four Color Freak-Out recorded with our pal Nick Mundy from Team Tiger Awesome, straight from the heart of Culver City, CA. We’re still talking about the Avengers (and you’re still going to see it apparently), how DC destroyed Nick’s comic dreams, and […]
You knew we couldn’t quit you, babe, and you damn well knew there wasn’t a force on this Earth that would keep us from talking about The Avengers (which most of you know we caught earlier this week). Sweet flibbity jibbity, folks! Get your listen on for a triple dose of Aaron, Alan, and Trevon […]
Once again it’s time to FREAK OUT with Aaron and Alan as they take on the week in comics, the surprisingly fun John Carter, and a little thing called “life”. Listen now for our best of the week and of course whatever it is that’s pissing us off at the moment. Listen below, save us […]
Fresh from our whirlwind tour of “near death”, Alan and Aaron return to the mics (along with special guest Trevan McGee) to talk about the end of Chuck! The genius of Adventure Time! The sadness of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance! Why Justice League #5 is the distilled failure of the New 52 in one […]
Fired up on burgers and vodka, the boys take on this week in comics (and why we’re so in love with Mark Waid right now), DC’s new logo, the horrors of Rob Liefeld, and the wonder and glory of Ninjasaur, which you should go help fund via Kickstarter RIGHT THIS INSTANT. Listen now or whenever […]
Clones! A whole mess o’ Avengers! X-titles galore! Bat-madness! Yup, it’s the week in comics and you’re invited to sit in as Aaron, Alan, and Bobby valiantly work past a food coma to bring you the best of the week. Listen now! Before it’s too late! note: Pardon goofy audio weirdness. I have no idea […]
It’s that time again! Join Aaron, Alan, and Bobby as we mull over the merits (or lackthereof) of Star Wars The Old Republic MMORPG, the timeless appeal of Columbo, and of course the week in comics (powered by the majestic of Hamms, the beer refreshing!). Listen below or sully up your iTunes!
Boy howdy, folks! It’s the last episode of 2011, and once again our pal Bobby Beirley joins ‘monkey & the Cap’n (oh god, we sound like a porny morning drive-time show) to run through our favorite comics of the week, argue about Dark Knight Rises, and a little thing we like to call: The best […]
After a week off, we’re back for 2 weeks of comic-goodness! There’s a whole mess of great this week, and what could possibly be better than listen to two rambling fools tackle the pulls of the week? But wait! There’s more! Aaron and Alan tackle Tintin, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Mission Impossible […]
We’re back! After a 2 week holiday/moving absence, the Four Color Freak-Out returns to talk about the best comics of the week (*cough* Moon Knight *cough*), reminding everyone that the Muppets are awesome, and why tuna casserole and beer is probably not the wisest pre-podcast meal. Listen now! (below or via iTunes)
Boy howdy, folks! Bobby’s back in the booth for a giggle-riffic Four Color Freak-Out! The tears of disappointed Community fans! Marvel swings the axe on more books! Our pulls of the week! Revisiting Jurassic Park! And more awful, awful things flowing out of our mouths like a rancid fondue fountain! Listen now or upon the […]
We’re back! The Cap’n and I sit down to chew over the nearly Final Fantasy-like quality of January Jones’ acting, Marvel going full-monty digital, and..um… Uh, hold on. The EPA? Wait, no…give me a minute. Um…. Oh yeah, our picks and pans from the last two weeks of comics! Bonus segment: reader mail! Get your […]
It’s time once again to FREAK-OUT, four color style! Marvel knocks it out of the park this week with a satisfying wrap-up to Spider-Island, and issue #1 of Wolverine & the X-Men (Bobby & Aaron’s pick o’ the week), while DC makes the last week of the month extra easy on your wallet. Also on […]
Sweet Jackman’s pecs, it’s Friday! Which means it’s time to traipse through this week’s comic rack with the Four Color Freak-Out gang, as well as a look at the new Batman: Year One animated feature and Ernest Cline’s fabulous “Ready Player One“. What are you waiting for? Listen now either below or on iTunes! (Or […]
Holy crap, it *is* Friday! And that means it’s time to wander through the pop culture apocalypse with Aaron, Alan, and Bobby as they take on the week in comics, that little thing called the Avengers trailer, and Alan’s sick obsession with duck-themed comics. Listen below or via iTunes!
