    Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester bring you an unconventional episode for Episode 332, one in which we discuss a singular volume: volume 5 of Classic G.I. Joe by IDW, collecting issues 41-50 of the 80s Marvel comic by Larry Hama and Rod Whigham. In addition to attempting to catalog the many, many charms of this volume, we also talk about classic Transformers, Micronauts, Rom Spaceknight and the golden heyday for licensed toy comics. It is not quite a two hour episode but believe me when I say—it comes much closer than you would think!

    Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are joined by powerhouse Chloe Maveal to talk a ton of non-comics pop culture—the second season of Ted Lasso, the recent film adaptation of Dune, the amazing hot mess that is Malignant, and Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch. And after that ninety minutes of mighty chat, Graeme and Jeff mull over the Superman run of Brian Michael Bendis, the books of Tom King, and much, much more in this 2.25 hour podcast.

    Borag Thungg, Whatnauts! Time for Drokk!! Judge Dredd the Complete Case Files Volume 30 is a conundrum between covers! It is both one story, an epic 20+ part megaprog written by John Wagner and drawn by a cabal of top 2000AD artists, and it is also two stories, with two different protagonists, told across two different magazines! It is truly awesome and it is truly underwhelming! It is something Jeff and Graeme both agree about, and also kind of fight over? How is this volume such a riddle? Tune in and find out!
