Send us a text*Apologies for connection issues which caused some delays / pauses *After taking a couple week off, the Crew return to talk some #StarWars : #Visions - Season 1. Before jumping into that, Mike talks about his trip experience to #Montana and how the #AirBnB his family stayed in happened to be Star Wars themed. This was all a happy accident. From a media / #theater room filled with Star Wars items to a room completely dedicated to a Star Wars theme, it all added to the great experience him and his family had.Even though the DetBlock Crew have talked Visions Volume 1, Bogie had not joined the team yet. So, with it being a bit of a slow time for Star Wars news and content, Bogie watched episodes 1-5 of volume 1 of Visions, which Mike and him look to discuss.Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastDon't forget to #SUBSCRIBE to our #YouTube channel for #podcast episodes and other content! #Prize #giveaway at 200 subs!

What are you thoughts from todays episode?
In our latest episode, we sit down with veteran comic book artist Mark Pennington to explore his remarkable career spanning four decades in the industry. Mark shares his journey from graduating the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in 1985 to starting his career doing designs for iconic toy lines like G.I. Joe at Hasbro before transitioning to comic book inking in 1988. We dive into his extensive work across major publishers including Marvel, DC, Image, CrossGen, and others, inking legendary titles like X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Eclipso, Violator and more, with particular focus on his acclaimed work on Shade, the Changing Man, which earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Inker in 1993. Mark discusses the often-underappreciated art of inking, his collaboration process with pencilers, working on high-profile titles like Hellblazer and JLA, and how the industry has evolved since he started. We also explore his move into self-publishing and his continued passion for both commercial comic work and fine art.You can follow Mark on Instagram @markpenningtonart.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

My favorite thing from this show is the super-chonky Cosmos from Earthspark. Star Wars has something we've never had before: a Hyperspace Pod with Probe Droid. Masters had a couple of amazing things, but Mondo's She-Ra and Swiftwind are next level. Nothing spectacular for G.I. Joe, so I'll toss in a favorite of mine, Spin Masters Batman Ninja figures.
In this week's episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive into a treasure trove of gaming updates, pickups, and hot takes: Magic: The Gathering fans won't want to miss the duo's latest haul from Edge of Eternities, plus an update on the closure of Strixhaven Year Three in their long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The Game Deflators also explore Hasbro's initiative to attract more women to Magic: The Gathering, analyzing what it means for future set releases. On the digital front, Nintendo's aggressive IP protection strikes again—this time forcing a popular speedrunning charity event to remove all Nintendo titles. John and Ryan provide their differing views on the outcome. Rumors are swirling about the Nintendo Switch 2 and a potential increase in cartridge storage capacity. Could this be a game-changer for next-gen titles or just price increases? Finally, the retro spotlight shines on Tomba! for the PlayStation 1, as the hosts visit this cult classic with a fresh review—does it still hold up in 2025?

The Shi'ar threat draws near! In New X-Men #123, Jean Grey takes center stage, hosting a high-profile media event at the Xavier Institute just as an intergalactic assault looms overhead.
On this episode, we delve into the story of the genius who invented the Super Soaker and the massive restitution he ultimately received after Hasbro shorted him on royalties. We share our love for West Coast music, especially the Bay, and trace where that love first began. We hit those hilariously awkward moments of waking up early at a friend's house, reminisce about rocking gold chains to school, and finally settle the mystery of what Grimace from McDonald's really is. Plus, we read a hilarious drive-in marquee, break down some new tracks we've got on repeat, open an epic mailbag, drop some absolute fire on the Discord Drops, and so much more.Today's episode was brought to you by Salty Water.

Judges, I'm not a Renton serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd post a job application if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we go over something so small from the outside that caught the Magic Judge Community by surprise: A Hasbro job posting for a Magic Judge Program Manager. We speculate on motivation while we discuss our hopes and fears and work through some anger issues in real time. Will this lead to a renaissance of MTG Judging? Will this be a mutually beneficial relationship, or is it blatant attempt by WotC to seize control? Will the community they abandoned welcome them back as liberators, or will they be ignored? We spend an hour discussing these questions before settling on: "We don't know". Join us in our uncertainty.

RUNDOWN Music history in honor of Tommy Mottola's July 14 birthday—Mitch details how Mottola signed Hall & Oates and running through each of their six No. 1 hits. The “audio clip of the week” spotlights former Cubs manager Lee Elia's legendary profanity-laden tirade at Wrigley Field after a 5–14 start in 1983. Mitch and Hotshot celebrate Seattle's sweep of first-place Detroit and reviewing the Mariners' 51–45 first-half record, good enough for a wild-card spot if the season ended today. Mitch explains why he's optimistic—his rotation is poised to string together quality starts, and an offense buoyed by hot streaks from Randy Arozarena, strong on-base work from JP Crawford, and newfound production from lower-order hitters means the club doesn't need Cal Raleigh to carry the load alone. Mariners bounce back from a blown five-run lead and near no-hitter loss in New York to sweep the AL's best Tigers, cementing a wild-card spot at the All-Star break. Mariners No-Table (Brady Farkas) unpack the unexpected selection of LSU lefty Cade Anderson (saved under slot, with a high floor) as a near-MLB-ready arm, dissect Julio Rodríguez's decision to skip the ASG before homering in each Detroit game, and express outrage that Gino Suárez (31 HRs) wasn't invited to the Home Run Derby. Mitch and Puck chat KJRn'ts Chapter 8 by commiserating over their sudden need for reading glasses and sharing a wild family dare in which Mitch finally ate an entire bowl of mushrooms after his son aced the SAT. They then catch up on life—Jason's youth baseball woes, Mitch's freshman at Arizona—and take playful shots at Jim Moore's “top sports radio hosts” rankings. In this throwback to Ep. 197 (July 5, 2022), Mitch sits down with Rhonda Smith Banchero to revisit her own collegiate battles—most memorably guarding Cheryl Swoopes—and to explore how her “tough-love” coaching shaped Paolo's rise to the No. 1 NBA draft pick. Rhonda shares the moment she bowed out of one-on-one after seventh grade, her deliberate accountability style at home, and the family's bittersweet pride as Paolo chose Duke over UW. Now that he's secured a record-setting $239 million extension, her insights on nurturing a champion feel more poignant than ever. From the news that Michael Jordan's Highland Park estate is now an Airbnb (no parties allowed) to celebrity-boxing matchups, LeBron's Beverly Hills compound, Wimbledon winners, and even the exit of Pearl Jam's longtime drummer Matt Cameron, Mitch and Hotshot pack a whirlwind of sports and pop-culture headlines into one rapid-fire segment.
