Steve, a middle-aged man who claims to love pop culture, only recently started reading comic books after years of encouragement, gentle prodding, and overt threats from his friend Shawn. Listen as Steve, Shawn, and Rob (Steve's older brother) discuss a different comic storyline every week!
THE FINAL EPISODE! Steve is moving on to pursue his dream of becoming an amateur curler, Shawn will be devoting more time to making sure women who don't want abortions get them anyway (his true passion), and Rob hates the show more than any of our listeners so we're packing it in. Enjoy this last episode about Eric Powell's "Big Man Plans" and thanks for listening!
A Steve pick this week! We discuss a comic called Killadelphia. Is it actually any good or is it Disney Plus Moon Knight good? Listen and find out.

We discuss Halo: The Fall of Reach, Beef, The Mandalorian, and the future of the MCU.
We discuss The Mask. Not the nineties Jim Carrey vehicle, but the source material created by John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke. It's a bit different from the movie. Also The Mandalorian, the best threequels, and Blue Beetle.
We discuss the 2001 live action The Tick TV series, all nine episodes of it. Plus The Mandalorian and other genre properties. "The human mind is a dangerous plaything, boys. When it's used for evil, watch out. But when it's used for good, then things are much nicer."
We discuss Hitman by Garth Ennis and John McCrea, The Mandalorian, and Steve orates on his digestive system for longer than anyone should endure.
Turn your volume down because Steve is hitting those high notes as he rages about nothing significant for far too long. If you stick around past all that nonsense we discuss The Raid 2 and The Mandalorian.
We discuss Quantumania, Shawn's thoughts on the state of the MCU, The Mandalorian, and Steve rages because not everyone wants to pay to see mediocre movies. Also Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers!

We discuss Ghost Rider, Nicolas Cage, The Menu, and train graffiti.
We discuss Covid, not seeing Avatar, Black Adam, stage rushing Harry Connick Jr., He-Man, Kevin Smith, and Clerks 3. And this week Rob has no issues so Shawn brought the technical difficulties in an effort to stay consistent.
In our last episode of the year, we discuss Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. Also we discuss our favorite movies and shows of 2022. Rob and Shawn have a polite (insult throwing) conversation about quality vs popularity in music. And in an absolutely stunning twist, Rob's audio shits the bed once again, but don't worry it is definitely not his fault.
We review the 1995 classic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Well, two of us review it. SOMEONE didn't even watch it. We also discuss the Pantera reunion shows, country music, and Patty Jenkins.
We discuss the first six issues of the Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen run on Ultimate Fantastic Four. No equipment malfunctions this week!
We discuss the ultimate kung fu flick, Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, as well as Andor and, uh, some other nerdy stuff I'm sure. I can't remember, we recorded this like a week ago. Oh, you'll never believe this, but Rob had technical issues again. I cut out the worst of it though.
We discuss Keith Giffen and Cully Hamner's Blue Beetle, Star Wars: Andor, and the airspeed velocity of an unladen (European) swallow.
MORTAL KOMBAT! The ultimate embodiment of early nineties video game excess gets an animated adaptation that captures the blood, gore, and violence of the arcade klassic in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. We also discuss Andor and House of the Dragon. As always, spoilers ahead.
Steve, Rob, and Spawn discuss Todd McFarlane's Shawn comic. Also Andor, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and the joy of being a Cleveland sports fan.

We discuss Thor: Love and Thunder, The Batman, and Rob does NOT disconnect this episode!
We discuss The Boys, Umbrella Academy, and one of the most underrated sequels of all time, RoboCop 2. Guess how many minutes until Rob has technical difficulties, place your bets!
We cover Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dr. Strange, The Boys, and another Garth Ennis Punisher story. Rob gets so angry with Shawn he turns into a child. Can't miss podcasting!
The show returns after Steve's introspective journey to return to his roots to discover his true self by living in the dumpster behind Olive Garden for a month. We cover Obi Wan Kenobi, Dr. Strange, Top Gun, and The Flash.
Steve verbally contorts himself into a pretzel defending the soul numbing mediocrity that is Moon Knight. Rob continues to exhibit the characteristics of a geriatric boomer. Shawn finally watched Snake Eyes and his thoughts might surprise you. But probably not.
Did Moon Knight suddenly improve or is Shawn just drunk? Halo continues to disappoint, and Steve is still pretending the best part of The Matrix was the romance. Also Invincible Iron Man: Extremis.
We discuss The Greatest Cinematic Achievement of All Time (Evil Dead 2, if you didn't know), the Halo series, and if you listen closely you can hear an embolism move into Steve's lungs as he struggles to defend the creative choices made by the folks behind Moon Knight.
Steve continues to defend the Moon Knight Disney Plus series as if either he's being blackmailed by someone or a loved works on the show, we haven't determined which. We also talk Severance, Halo, and Deadpool.
