We ask, “Will Fantastic Four or Superman be The Greatest?”, in the box office and pop-cultural battle that looms this summer. They both herald a back to basics approach in a market where people have convinced themselves there's no more places to go. Leave it up to two originals to prove them wrong…maybe. After all, these characters are as retro as they are forward thinking, as wholesome as they are powerful. Is this what the people want? Hell is this approach actually PERFECT for these fractured times? Listen and find out!!!
In this supersized spoiler chat, we debate whether the one two punch of Thunderbolts* and Daredevil : Born Again represents “Marvel's Greatest Comeback.” Ed and Producer Bill ask, can these street level heroes and super spies cement the new foundation for the Fantastic Doomsdays to come? Is Daredevil great, wildly uneven, or both? Are the Thunderbolts* really able to replace the Avengers? Listen to us try to figure it out babay!!
The Reboot Crew is back! After a 4 year hiatus, the internet's favorite development team has landed a new gig with one of Hollywood's most controversial figures: David Zaslav. Their first assignment: a whole new take on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith....and ONLY Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! With Episodes 1, 2, and 4-9 staying intact, the Reboot it Crew will have to work within the tightest constraints they've ever had. We all know Anakin Skywalker will turn into Darth Vader, but how we get there is about to look a whole lot different!

“Our Greatest Reboots” features the gang reunited, including Billy Business of Hot Takes with Billy Biz and the YouTube Channel “Reboot It”! By the way, our sister show “Reboot It” is coming back. In this primer episode of The Greatest Pod, we discuss the “art” of the reboot, if such a thing exists. Also, much of this episode is looking back on OUR best reboots on the channel. Some real life reboots that were made during our hiatus were pretty similar to “our” imaginary versions. Barbie is in the same genre and nearly the same tone as our He-man Pitch. Our episode about The Universal Monster is maybe our most popular piece but the Blumhouse Universal monster movies are hit and miss so far. Are we better than Leigh Whannell? NO. But it's interesting how often we think like the best of the big boys. Overall this conversation asks almost, what evolutionary purpose is there to reinterpret stories this much. Is our present proclivity to remake rather than create stunting that evolution? Reboots are gonna happen. We're trying to use our powers for good. Is that possible? Find out every week on Reboot It coming this summer back to YouTube. Link below! Check out the episodes we reference in the ep and subscribe so you get the new ones first!

In fictional universes somebody has to break the news. “The Greatest ‘Fake News'” is Ed, Ron and Producer Bill imagining what the media landscapes are in two of the most popular fictional universes. Why are superheroes attracted to the news? How intense would the politicization of Superman be? What jobs would you pick if you knew certain “the real deal” about the universe you lived in? Would you be a henchman? In this economy? Would people in superhero universes be even more sick of the tights, capes and lack of consequences than we seem to be in our world? What does the “triumph of the human will” mean in a world of demigods on TV? This one gets philosophical but remains pretty damn funny throughout. Dive in. Follow us!

"The Greatest Superheroes That Aren't” is our crew, Ed, Ron, and Professor Bill, dissecting those movies and TV shows that center on someone with a superpower but nobody admits it! All types of heroic stories from Commando to Colombo feature heroes with superior powers that must fight unbeatable odds and we discuss these characters comparing and contrasting them with conventional super heroic fare.

“The Greatest Pasts” features the whole crew talking about period pieces from our iconoclastic perspectives. We don't go gaga when you put a few period cars in the shot and have everybody say “gee whiz”, it takes more than that to get us feeling like we're in the past. We discuss our favorite examples in this banger of an ep. *This is the last one where Ed's audio is a bit bad because he was visiting his mom in the south and didn't take his podcasting equipment. He and we are back babay!!
“The Greatest Futures” is mostly Ed and Ron trying to not talk about the dystopia we currently live in and failing BUT we do touch on some of the greatest futures in pop culture. From Star Trek to Total Recall we examine how fictional futures dramatize the concerns of the present. We discuss how we'd fare in certain futures like being blood boys in Mad Max, or what virtual pleasures we would or would not partake in if we were living in certain futures. What parts of these fictional futures have already invaded our present. Enjoy. The companion episode to this will be on our Patreon by the time you hear this.

“The Greatest Cops In Fiction Part Two” is us continuing to build our portfolio of powerhouse porcine patrolmen.This one features some great pulls by the gang and more specific examples of what we consider exemplary cops in fiction. Our personal philosophy is that there's a difference between action fantasy heroes with badges versus actual police people in good stories.This ep has us defending our positions and having some big laughs about some of the most compelling characters in fiction.

Tis the season…to discuss crime and punishment in movies! “The Greatest Cops In Fiction Part One” is us dissecting the concept of law enforcement in this dystopian future we call the present. We talk about how cops are depicted in movies and TV and we try to get our heads around the sly thrill of watching various levels of copaganda since we were kids. We discuss several of your faves and some I bet you never thought of, I'll guarantee you. This is funny and insightful and only one half of the massive conversation we had.

“The Greatest Thanksgiving Special” is Ed, Bill, and the returning Ron Swallow talking about pieces of pop culture we are thankful to have experienced at particular times in our lives. These are some of the art and the culture around said art that would form us into the weirdos you know and love. Ed talks Mack Bolan novels, Ron talks rollerblading and skate videos, while Bill reveals a past as a prominent purveyor of fan fiction in the early days of the internet. Thanks to all the people listening and to our Patrons. For you, we are eternally thankful.
We had an impromptu convo about “The Greatest Space Characters” and it ended up NOT being “sTaR wArS vS. sTaR tReK” and more about why there will be rednecks in space and why can't the Green Lanterns finally be truly cool. Ed and Producer Bill get into a debate about whether most science fiction aliens are “human plus” or “human minus”. We pitch some amazing “fixes” for certain characters while also showing a surprising appreciation of original loner in space folks like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. This is one is a true trip into outer and inner spaaaaacce. Enjoy! Follow us!

With Ron Swallow away on his honeymoon, Ed and Producer Bill discuss “The Greatest Recastings in Pop Culture Movies”. We do all the hits, Bats, Supes, Spidey, Bond and many others that aren't as obvious. The debates come fast and furious, and the discussions get deep as we interrogate what it means to do a serial character “correctly.” Can someone be, say, the best recast Bond without being in the best Bond movies? What are the intrinsic values that are central to these characters and what makes one interpretation be seen as superior in our estimation? Another trip into the minds of some of the best pop culture analysts in the business babay!! Follow us!

“The Greatest Cats in Pop Culture” is our conversation about the feline fictional characters that impacted our lives. The cat has always been a mysterious, charismatic, enigmatic presence in the lives of humans. Earning the love of the small ones or running from the big ones seems to be baked into our DNA. Aslan, Mufasa, Shere Khan, Hobbes, Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, there's just a bunch of great cat characters. This conversation is silly and by no means comprehensive. Notable omissions, Garfield because he sucks, Heathcliff because our riff about him sucked and I cut it out, and Battlecat because…we forgot. He rocks and that's our bad. He also forgot MC Skat Kat from Paula Abdul's hit “Opposites Attract.” But you don't come to us for dry ass lists of every damn thing you come to us for wit and inventive opinions. This episode was like herding cats and we got some interesting ones back to the ranch pardner. So press play! Follow us!

“The Greatest In Goth Pop Culture” is admittedly a weird topic to be talking about today but with the new Crow movie bombing it made us think about how truly ubiquitous goth culture was in the 80's and 90's. What happened? Why did this brand of melancholic existentialism / nihilism fall out of fashion after being basically the aesthetic of 90's action movies and many of the teens going to see them. The discussion of greatest works in goth movies and literature is truly inspired and one of our proudest moments. So lay on a grave, turn your walkman on and listen to this episode with a sense of ennui and Byronic yearning. Follow us!

In this super sized episode Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill discuss and debate “The Greatest Mentors In Pop Culture.” We interrogate the different expressions of the mentor. Some are father or mother figures, some started out as replacement parents and became trusty butlers. Some are space wizards you meet for a week, or alien holograms or long dead uncles. DIfferent mentors make different heroes so in essence we are tracing the in world origins of the greatest pop culture protagonists.
“Is ‘The Boys' The Greatest Superhero Show?” You might think, “Well obviously that's madness…right?” I'd say surely we've seen something about superheroes that was more hopeful. Maybe funnier? Maybe more life affirming? But better? I don't know man. The show manages to do pretty decent super action on a budget and the characters are pretty damn cool. Their mission to kill/neutralize “superheroes” is at direct odds with every other show or movie on the subject. It's almost the only story in pop culture media that shows superpowers as something that doesn't automatically make anything better. Yes, it's got edgelord tendencies and sometimes seeks to shock as it satirizes but the fact that the average superhero story doesn't spend ANY time thinking about the physical and mental collateral damage superheroes would leave in their wake is pretty embarrassing. That it is one of the only things in the entire genre that seems interested in interrogating the idea that manufactured corporate demigods on cereal boxes might cause fundamental and detrimental changes to the average person's psyche is shocking. So yeah, we think it's the best. Listen to more reasons why by pressing play. Follow us!

You can't trust Producer Bill and Ed Greer to do the “boring” thing of just dryly recapping this monumental San Diego Comic Con, Of course we talk Fantastic Four news, Robert Downey Jr., Mcfeel, and the Russos coming back…and some stuff from DC too. All of that's great but we think it's prime time to think about the comic book movie as an organism. It seems to have evolved to survive in a post spoiler world where the biggest movies have to organize their stories like a stream of billion dollar breadcrumbs. And if we are following a trail of mixed metaphors we seem to have doubled back on the path that worked after a brief period of trying to make “fetch” happen. Listen to this for the thinking person's unpacking of ComicCon and stay till the end for some truly unexpected predictions for next year. Follow us!

“The Greatest Batman Analogues” started as a companion to our “Greatest Superman Analogues” episode but it quickly grew into a conversation about how powerful and impactful a Batman could or should be. Many Twitter dorks including us have tried to put real world morality on this particular comic book character given our frankly natural suspicion and disdain for billionaires. It isn't actually clear that the original creators of Batman wanted his wealth to be a key part of his badassery in any way besides gadgets and free time. Almost all of the original comic book men of action were rich. Zorro, The Phantom, The Green Hornet, hell The Scarlet Pimpernel! But those guys aren't Batman.In interrogating what exactly constitutes a Batman analogue maybe we can recontextualize the character. Maybe we can find out what areas his “sons” can investigate to carve out their own place in the pantheon of awesome “regular humans” who fight alongside the super gods. Follow us!

“The Greatest Lone Wolf Characters” are iconoclastic powerhouses who don't always get it done with their fists. Wolves don't even have fists. From Wolverine to John Wick. From the Punisher to Ron mentioning some of his favorite fantasy characters like Allanon we hit it all.

This is a classic Nerd Goat episode with Grant Pardee going deep on Ultimate Spider-man but also just talking about how great the web head is in general.

“The Greatest X-Men Adaptation” is obviously X-Men ‘97 and we spend this action packed and hilarious hour breaking down why. It's pretty light on spoilers but it's probably best if you've seen about half the episodes. We discuss the show's themes, pacing, writing, art style, and how it depicts our favorite outcasts. Enjoy. We're BACK BABAY!!!! For bonus and some truly WILD speculation we just couldn't put on the free feed, listen to Part 2 on the Greatest Pod Patreon (link below). There we talk about the last five eps & finale, what we think will happen next season, and how this hit show might influence the live action MCU. Follow us!

This is another Nerd Goat Classic while Ed is on the road with Brian Posehn. We have the hilarious and now famous like he deserves to be Brian Simpson on to talk about Grand Admiral Thrawn. This is before the show came out but maybe we will have him on again to talk about this amazing character. We talk about this characters struggles, how they moved up in a society where that's hard and how their genius and actions moved them to the top of a xenophobic Empire in the Star Wars universe to be their most secret of weapons.

This is a classic Nerd Goat episode where the screenwriter from X-men First Class (Among many of the movies he has written) talks about Magneto a character that he may have arguably had the most influence on in pop culture. From his roots as in a concentration camp to the decisions he makes as an older man and mutant. We explore the depths of one of the most powerful and interesting mutants in all of Marvel. Follow us!

This is a classic Nerd Goat episode with Rick Wood talking about how Skeletor is misunderstood and is barely a bad guy. Truly, he is battling against the oppressive regime of a monarchy.

“The Greatest Pod Reboots DC Comics” is our attempt to explain what we think is not quite optimized in the modern DC Comics universe. Of course, we talk about reimagining the role of “The Trinity” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman BUT WE ALSO want to make characters like Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and The Question become more important to the fans. DC has so many forgotten characters that need bolstering and so many sections of their universe that need more exploring. We love DC Black Label and Elseworlds but the main universe needs some rejuvenation babay and we have some ideas. Right or wrong we're interesting so fire up the ep baby!! Follow us!

This episode features Ed going crazy in the middle and our special guest, filmmaker Henry McCommas (Wolfman's Got Nards, The Camp Host) talking him off the ledge. Besides that bit of scintillating radio we have an awesome (if male filmmaker centric) conversation about the “The Greatest Low Budget Movies” of our lifetimes. We'll do another acknowledging the works of the gals and non binary pals but this one is a fairly two-fisted appreciation of what certain filmmakers, mostly from the 80's and 90's, did to start a shoestring budget revolution that ripples till this day.

In this episode titled, “The Greatest Powers Redux” we TRY to have a conversation about the greatest superpowers but it quickly turns into another psychological exploration about the nature of power as conceived of by nerds without it. This time Producer Bill joins us so it gets even more serious and navel gazey but you know us, riffs aplenty and we say five to ten thousand things that could get us canceled. Enjoy!! Follow us!

In this one we discuss and debate what makes “The Greatest Heist Movies.” Many pieces of media are said to be Rorschach tests, but your appreciation or lack thereof for the heist genre sparks a great conversation about crime, punishment, and taste. What counts as a heist movie? The ingredients seem to be a plan, a crew, and a dramatic need but when you really delve into the genre it's about the viewer's relationship with the law. Do you think life is “for the taking” literally? Who do you sympathize with in these movies? The cops, the outlaws, the people playing them both against each other? Bypass the security system and break into this overflowing vault of an episode. Enjoy! Follow us!

Ed, Ron, Producer Bill, and superb guest comedian Fifi Dosch discuss and debate which is “The Greatest Iteration of Star Trek.” Is it the original that basically started the nerd and convention culture? Is it the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Lower Decks, Discovery, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds….Picard??? The discussion is truly star-spanning and the rants come at Warp 9. Star Trek is sci-fi about a mostly hopeful future whose adventures range from drawing room drama morality plays and space exploration to cultural exchange and Space Navy warfare. If you don't have a favorite Star Trek this is a perfect primer to get into it, if you do have one jump in and disagree with us! Follow us!

“The Greatest Pod Goes Evil” is about what we would do IF we were evil, which villains we most identify with, and what even is “evil?” Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill discuss the other side of heroism. You get a real insight into our conception of what evil is and why so many revolutionary things are labeled evil even if they are actually justice. Or is that just what someone evil would say??

“The Greatest Creatures In Fiction'' is about the legendary animals that most impacted us. No not Air Bud or some shit like that, we're talking minotaurs, dragons, chimera, and stuff. Our list is as offbeat and weird as we are. Ron talks about dragons and unicorns and stuff. Producer Bill and Ed get their mythology rocks off in an epic pitch that we've already registered with the writer's guild babay!!

“The Greatest Myths In Nerd Culture” is our discussion on some of the beliefs nerds had in the past and some that persist to this day. But overall this is a fun convo about a changing landscape and about some of the ways so called “nerd culture” has evolved. The ability to see that some of your core beliefs are outdated or flawed is a key to being intelligent. We think it's high time people examine the rampant consumerism that they pass off as a personality…uh I mean examine their fandoms. Yeah that other thing was a typo. Anyway, enjoy! Follow us!

“The Greatest Cartoon Reboots” could be misleading. We aren't trying to rank cartoon reboots, we are talking about the ones that deserve it according to us. There are so many action cartoons from different eras that seem like they'd be slam dunks in our modern IP obsessed times but these seem forgotten or relegated to development hell. This isn't just nostalgia (well some of it is) we're really trying to identify why a cartoon would make a good movie or show right now and we even hatch an idea for a killer cartoon version of a certain timeless pulp barbarian. This one is creative, innovative and illustrative of our approach to storytelling babay!! Enjoy! Follow us!

“The Greatest Year End Review and MAILBAG!!” is a truly unique show because we try to sum up our year but get sidetracked by the “how do we ‘save' comics” conversation that comics retailers and people like Mark Millar ignited this last week online. Then we deftly transition into some truly illuminating mailbag questions that have us questioning our innermost beliefs about everything from crime and punishment to the arguable genius of Wes Anderson. This is a great and eclectic convo that shows you where our and our supporters' thoughts are centered in December 2023. Enjoy!! Follow us!

“Is Superhero Fatigue The Greatest?” That's a loaded question isn't it? It's funny that it only took about 12 years of consistent, big budget comic book fare at the movies for us to declare that the party was over and mostly because one company “started losing the thread.” Ed and Producer Bill refute this assertion while also acknowledging the limitations of the genre as presently represented. There's a fantastic conversation to be had about the new ways that we are going to depict superheroes in the future via things like Invincible, The Boys, and the new James Gunn DC Universe. This is a great primer for the type of conversation we'll be having at LA COMICON (https://comicconla.com/) on Saturday December 2nd 2023 in Room 402 A at 3:00 p.m. and in our Nerdy Standup Show at 6:00 p.m. in Room 402 B!! Come see us and get a signed art print from Producer Bill while supplies last!!
Of course this can't be THE definitive list of “The Greatest Films of The Last Five Years” but it's the ones that sprang to mind while we recorded this. We're here to debunk the notion that “they don't make ‘em like that anymore.” Because they kinda do but you're missing them because you're a slave to the algorithm and marketing. Ron said during the recording that we'd provide a list of all the movies we talk about but, um no, just listen to the damn episode and you'll see we aren't mentioning any Marvel flicks or stuff everybody knows. This is some populist, yet gourmet shit we're talking about. These (for our money, which may have a different exchange rate than yours) are movies made recently that aren't franchises or reboots and have the ability to move you by illustrating some true aspect of the human experience.

You ever want to get away? Of course you do, you're listening to a pop culture podcast. So we present to you the “The Greatest Vacation Spots in The Multiverse.” Would you book a trip to Gotham City? Is the theater scene worth all the crime? Is Metropolis real estate insanely expensive? Would you live anywhere in Star Wars? Is visiting Latveria under Dr. Doom or the city of the Elves from Lord Of The Rings like going to Dubai? This one's about world-building and trying to look at these many fantastical lands as possible vacation destinations for us mere mortals. Follow us!

Just in time for Halloween, we discuss “The Greatest Horrors.” This isn't just about movies or novels or comic depictions of horror, it's a revelatory look at what scares us as a group. Is open water more scary than Michael Myers? Is Chucky more scary than Annabelle? What makes horror work for us as a genre? Producer Bill, Ron, and Ed tell what makes them shiver and hopefully we can bond over the universal language of fear. Follow us!

He's got an independent, fantasy adventure comic on Kickstarter called Rogues' Kingdom with James Robinson and Brennan Wagner. We talk and look at some images (see our Youtube version of this podcast!) but mostly we get Jeff's ethos on storytelling and dig into the life of a comic book artist. Listen and learn from a master storyteller who along with Dan Panosian, and Dave Johnson, formed The Original Drink and Draw Social Club. Are comics going more towards independent production since they are such valuable intellectual properties for adaptation into other mediums OR are independent comics some of the last truly unique stories available in popular media?

This is the senses-shattering conclusion to our series on “The Greatest Writers In Comics.” We discuss canceled people, low-key right-wingers, idea guys, and luminaries…some of these writers are all of these things at once. We get into the business of comics writing and cover some of the people who have decided that “working for the man” i.e. the Big 2 isn't for them. Or they use the Big 2 (Marvel and DC) to get a name and make their own empires elsewhere. Are comics the best way to become a ‘creative'? Are business success and accessible stories the truest indicator of skill? We cover your favorite writer's favorite writers (Morrison, Millar, Ennis, Simone, Kirkman just to name a few) and as is our way, some of your favorite writers catch strays.

In part two of The Greatest Comic Book Writers we try to get to the modern guys but the giants like Miller, Gaiman, Dwayne McDuffie, Mark Waid, Alan Moore etc., emerge to lead us through the 1980's and the 1990's using their vision to expand what comics could be.

“The Greatest Writers in Comics” (Part One) MOSTLY concerns people who work for “the big 2” meaning Marvel and DC, however within that framework we will discuss everyone from iconoclasts to “jobbers” as the Cartoonist Kayfabe guys say. There are also people who can do both superhero AND independent “mature” work with equal aplomb. We will speak with some nuance about what these men and women accomplished in the formative years of comics, building the giant shoulders on which contemporary comics stand. We try to determine exactly what constitutes the beginning of “modern” comics and what qualifies as an actual evolution or revolution in comics. Dig in cuz part one's a whole meal, but just know there's much more to come! Follow us!

*Next week we will be back on a more or less weekly schedule. Thanks for enduring the dog days.* The question mark in “The Greatest Powers?” refers to Ed's relentless pursuit of the downside of superpowers if they were to exist. Would having them be the greatest? This made for a slightly more interesting conversation than the typical “who could beat who” feats convos that dominate the nerd space.

“The Greatest Pet Peeves In Pop Culture” is our attempt to discuss the tropes and trends that Ed, Ron, and Bill dislike the most in pop culture. Can we stop shooting everything from diner scenes to space battles in the same four by five area against a greenscreen? Can we stop the generic superhero origin story with no twists? Can characters in movies stop obsessively mentioning other movies? Can writers stop using dialogue to lampshade weak plots and cliche situations? This episode also takes modern audiences to task. We lampoon criticism that doesn't give any thought to context. We talk about how neo-puritanical nerds and hand wringing ninnies are bad for movies but so also are the “antiwoke” grifters and cinematic conspiracy theorists that have infiltrated media about media. This one is fun and turns into a very serious conversation about the internet generation's relationship to art. Follow us!

“The Greatest Future For Movies” is about what it takes to get people back into the movie theater now and in the near future. The crew asks what drives people to movies now and what will it take in the future. Will it be spectacle, intellectual properties, or concepts and stories (ha) that get people into the theater? Notice how we didn't say movie stars. We've debated before whether they actually exist anymore. But maybe the problem is that the type of movies that make movie stars don't exist anymore either. The whole subject is ripe for discussion in the wake of this Barbenheimer, Fast X, Mission Impossible, Ninja Turtle summer. Follow us!

“The Greatest Cinematic Experience” means different things to different people. To some it's a stirring script, others it's innovative direction, and then there's the people who simply love certain actors. We, Bill and Ed, tend to think it's a mix of all three and some other things like practical effects, a sense of scope, and a main character that doesn't necessarily have to break the mold. Obviously these are our personal choices and ourr favorite films tend to be somewhat modern and American, however,after listening to this conversation you'll know what we mean when we say something is cinematic. The conversation is instructive and funny AND at the end we read a brand new 5 Star REVIEW!!!! Follow us!

“The Greatest Archenemies” is our attempt to examine villainy in our pop culture lifetimes. What qualities must an archenemy possess to attain that status? Serialized fiction lends itself to operatic cycles of violence which seem necessary for archrivals to exist. So how do creators keep these classic fights and relationships fresh? This one's for the haters and the people who love them. From Lex Luthor to Shooter McGavin we hit them all. Follow us!
