Movies, Comics, and Pulp-Culture! We're the Rocketeers Aaron McLane and Matt Corrigan - two roomies who don't live together. We love comic books, movies (especially bad ones), toys, and all sorts of geek stuff. We also think we're hilarious. We hope you'll agree. This is our bi-weekly released pulp culture podcast. Caution we like to use adult language.
