Radioactive Lounge Comics Podcast

The episode so momentous we had to record it twice. That, and because Lucas recorded the first 50 minutes with the mics on mute. Now decide if he should have recorded the whole thing on mute, as we say goodbye with some last reviews, the last Rad Lounge Awards, the last BA's PAs, the last Sandman Tales, and a new segment about noises Mitch makes in his sleep. Plus we chat about Hawkeye, although Mitch says we're not supposed to do that anymore.

This is it. After 7 years, the final episode of the world's most popular Avengers casting podcast.

While COMIC TV CATCH UP for the end of Superman and Lois and start of Y The Last Man as a feature might seem like the gang took their collective feet off the gas for yet another episode, this one really has a LOT going on. Lucas speaks at length about his gambling problem, then drops what might be one of the biggest character origin scandals of the last 25 years, Larry relives glory days from a fortnight ago and gives his dating tips for a romantic night in, then the guys all agree to a consensual and very sensual three way. All this AND news, reviews and a 90's Avengers casting call that will be all you think about for until the next episode drops. Hyped much? Dig in and see for yourself.   00:00 Intro & News 34:30 Doctor Who Minute 53:50 Reviews - HUMAN TARGET #1 - MAZEBOOK #1 - BINKY #1 - CAPTAIN AMERICA (HEROES REBORN) #7 - MODESTY BLAISE - DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL #1 1:21:02 BA's PA 1:36:97 Feature : COMIC TV CATCH UP SUPERMAN AND LOIS & Y THE LAST MAN 2:23:56 BA's PA
