The Binge Buddies are answering the call, because the fans demanded it, and the four-hour epic has finally arrived. Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are tackling the unprecedented cinematic resurrection of 2021's Zack Snyder's Justice League. After tragic personal circumstances forced Snyder to step away from the original production—resulting in the studio-mandated Frankenstein's monster we previously survived—a relentless fan campaign willed the director's true vision into existence. The guys are strapping in to discuss how this colossal, R-rated, four-hour streaming event completely rewrites history and delivers a vastly superior, tonally cohesive experience compared to its predecessor. We are breaking down the vital restoration of Ray Fisher's Cyborg as the emotional heart of the story, the genuinely intimidating presence of Darkseid, the much-needed redemption of Steppenwolf's design, and the sheer atmospheric power of Tom Holkenborg's booming score. Grab your favorite snacks to survive the intermission and hit play—we're experiencing the definitive cut!
The Americans are very proud of their written constitution. During the first 3/8 of President Trump's second term of office, the constitution has been severely tested. Where has the Constitution succeeded in providing legal safeguards, clarity and stability, and where has it failed? How will the remainder of this presidency look? And what is coming after Trump? This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on the 4th of June 2026Clive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates. He was the Senior Prefect at Radley College, where he studied maths and science; then a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), where he took a degree in Politics; and a Stone Merit Scholar each of his three years at Columbia Law School, graduating in 1984. He previously founded and directed the legal action charities Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (1993 in New Orleans) and Reprieve (1999 in London). Since 1984 he has tried many capital cases, and helped to represent over 400 people facing execution in the US and elsewhere. He also brought the first challenge to Guantánamo Bay, where he has secured the release of 87 detainees, and continues to assist the remaining 15. In all five of the cases he has helped bring to the U.S. Supreme Court the petitioner has prevailed. He has recently taken on the case of Aafia Siddiqui, the woman who has most suffered from the US rendition-to-torture program – abducted with her three children. He continues to work on capital cases in the US, including a Post-Mortem Project where he is investigating the claims of innocence of 184 people executed since 1977.Clive has published a number of books including Bad Men (2008, describing work in Guantánamo) and Injustice (2012, on the capital case of Kris Maharaj), both of which were short-listed for the Orwell Prize; and most recently The Far Side of the Moon (2023), deconstructing the parallel lives of his father and a client Larry Lonchar, both of whom were labelled Bipolar. He has many other publications, including manuals for the defence of capital cases, and law review articles about aspects of capital defence. He has worked on many films and documentaries, starting with Fourteen Days In May (1987), recently ranked as one of the top BBC documentaries of all time. While continuing his litigation practice, Clive teaches part time at Bristol Law School as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/current-challenges-us-constitutionGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

What makes someone truly alone? In this episode of Me & my friend, Pete, we explore one of DC Comics' most tragic heroes, J'onn J'onzz, The Martian Manhunter, through the lens of sociology. We examine how alienation, exile, identity, and loss have shaped the Last Martian into one of the richest characters in comic book history. Whether you're a longtime comic fan or simply fascinated by psychology, philosophy, and the human condition, this episode offers a fresh perspective on one of the Justice League's most underrated heroes.
The Trillion Dollar Kid is on the case, Justice League yada yada yada, Metron goes all exposition, Rama Kushna goes to school, Bizarro takes Lois for a bad ride, the jig is up for Simon Pure, more Minor Arcana backstory, and Eddie gets kicked out of Pluto.
Witnessing adaptation is one of our great pleasures. How does one transform an audio medium into a visual one? How will the podcast World Beyond Number, from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, expand into The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One, courtesy of comic storytellers Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb? When the chance to ponder the thought arose with some of those involved, we jumped at it. There are only days left ot support Worlds Beyond Wonder: The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One via Kickstarter. As of this writing, it's already reached over $1.8 million. The book is happening and will be published through Skybound Entertainment. Join the party in confidence. We spoke with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, and Lou Wilson about their love of comics and the delight they've discovered in watching Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb bring their story to this medium. We relish the love evident in their play, found in every Worlds Beyond Number episode. We discuss nerdom not as a monolith, but as an endless pebbly beach. This episode was a fantastic surprise, but not as big a surprise as the email we recently received that threw our lives into turmoil (which is the topic of today's introduction). Friends, we've been through it. Thank goodness for our comic book pals.

No hard sell required with this one. Operation: Iron Coffin #1 is in shops today, courtesy of IDW Publishing. It's concocted by our new favorite comic book dynamic duo, Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon (with letterer Shawn Lee). In its pages, you'll see Bram Stoker's Dracula working for the Allies during World War II. Like a bomb, he's dropped from a plane upon a secret Nazi gold train. He lands in the caboose. He proceeds to slaughter his way toward the engine. Many losers are torn limb from limb. Folks have already compared its action to John Wick, but it's more like Game of Death smashed with Snowpiercer. As Dracula works his bloody way down the train, new foes present themselves, boss-level style, and each one represents a different mindset or philosophy. Porter and Cannon excel in the excessive bodily harm, but simmering beneath the violence is a powerful reckoning with the human experience and the darkest depths our species can plunge. In the last few years, we've spent a lot of time pondering vampires, mortals, and their relationship to the soul. How fun to have Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon on the podcast this week to discuss bloodsuckers, human monsters, evil, and capital E Evil. This is a full-spoilers conversation about Operation: Iron Coffin #1. Be warned. However, this is kind of an unspoilable book. Nothing we say in this podcast can rob the comic of its visual might. So, listen based on your own spoiler sensitivity. But, seriously, you should just grab the comic the next time you're in the shop. Follow Kenny Porter on Instagram and Bluesky.

More recently, her work has been featured in critically acclaimed Netflix series like Cheer and Last Chance U.Since joining Pentagram in 2012, Emily's work has spanned a wide array of industries, from expanding further into entertainment (Kevin Hart's production company Hartbeat and the Russo brothers' AGBO) to motion graphics (nine years of campaigns for the Film Independent Spirit Awards) to restaurants and hospitality (the Michelin-starred Cote Korean Steak House) to culture and non-profit (social justice organization Dream.org) to health and wellness (the menopause care startup Phenology) to products and retail (the rebrand of American Girl).

Sound the alarms, because the Binge Buddies are wading straight into a cinematic dumpster fire. > Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." This week, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are suffering through the jarring tonal whiplash of 2017's theatrical Justice League—or as we affectionately call it, the "Josstice League." The guys are breaking down the infamous collision of directorial visions that resulted in this Frankenstein's monster of a superhero team-up. From the sheer horror of Henry Cavill's digitally erased mustache and painfully forced quips, to Steppenwolf's PS2-era graphics and a completely butchered color palette, we're dissecting every mismatched puzzle piece. Did any of Joss Whedon's reshoots actually work, or is this the biggest misfire in comic book movie history? Grab a fire extinguisher and hit play—we're trying to survive the wreckage!

It's fantastic when a comic gives you a jolt. Beast of Borikén, written by Julio Anta and illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, delivers a great prod, stimulating your brain to run numerous scenarios on and off the page. It's the story of a people who've witnessed so much monstrosity at the hands of invaders. It's a story of people finding strength in their neighbors, ancestors, and legends. The first issue is out now, from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion, and we investigate it meaningfully with both storytellers. Set in Puerto Rico, the main character is Loli, an activist protesting an incoming resort, the face of which is yuppy CEO Simon Hunt, who is using every slippery trick in the book to break ground despite opposition. Loli is incensed and focused on stopping the overdevelopment of her ancestral lands, but is her fixation in part because she is avoiding processing a horrendous grief, since her father died alone in a hospital during Hurricane Maria? This week on the podcast, we speak with Julio Anta and Daniel Irizarri about Beast of Borikén, witnessing endless horror, and hope through collective action. We discuss the influence of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the appeal of monsters. Also, what does it all have to do with Robocop 2? You'll have to make your way through the intro to understand all that. Beast of Borikén #1 is out now from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion. It's written by Julio Anta, illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, colored by Patricio Delpeche, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Follow Julio Anta on Instagram and Bluesky.

We're back to the runs that we're covering in order, with a twist. We've reached the next chapter of Knightquest: The Crusade, where AzBats fights a super assassin with psychological conditioning, and No Man's Land, where we see what the Justice League is doing to help Gotham. But with the Morrison run done, we're filling in some of the side No Man's Land stories we skipped. This time out, we're hitting an issue of Batman Chronicles, featuring the story of how Renee Montoya met Two-Face, what happened to Harold and a story of what happens when two people trying to to find a safe place in the No Man's Land stumble into a clown themed hacienda. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

No one is more surprised than we are. Frank Miller, the legendary comics maker behind Daredevil: Born Again, Ronin, Batman: Year One, Sin City, and The Dark Knight Returns, which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, joins us this week to discuss his career as he filtered it through his new memoir/self-help book, Push The Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and The Art of Storytelling. His latest creation floored us. Broken into sixteen lessons, Push the Wall sees Frank Miller excavate his past to understand his pursuit of storytelling. He attempts to explain his rebellious nature and a need to throw himself against opposing forces, but in the process, reveals the awesome, unbeatable power of change. He treats the reader as his mentors did, like Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. Push the Wall works not only as motivation for the struggling artist, but also for the struggling human. The aggression and fascination for violence are present, but more importantly, Push the Wall contains a great softness or vulnerability. Frank Miller is not a creator who doubles down on past mistakes; he admits regret and offers encouragement to everyone who must fail to grow. We're beyond delighted to have Frank Miller on the podcast. We discuss how “The City” was the first to change him, why The Dark Knight Returns should not be the template for all Batman stories, and whether or not Robocop 2 is an essential ingredient in his vocation. Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling arrives in bookstores everywhere on July 14th. Make sure you're following Frank Miller on Instagram and his website.

Today, I interview Nevin Seus, one of the music editors of SUPERGIRL!A 20-year-veteran in Hollywood, he's no stranger to DC projects, working on MAN OF STEEL, BATMAN V. SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.However, this newest project represents a different challenge for him, given that composer Claudia Sarne (THE BOOK OF ELI, TRIPLE 9) had only six weeks to deliver a full score. For Seus, that means whatever pieces Sarne provided needed to be distilled into its clearest and most impactful form, ASAP.Sometimes, this means stripping a scene entirely of music. In others, it means suggesting accents to give a fight scene more weight or hunting down the synthesizer that'd distinguish a space alien's presence in the score.During much of this interview, I try to break down what it means to work as a music editor, list the responsibilities entailed. I think we do an honorable job, but I get the impression from Seus that a mere 30 minutes won't even crack the pavement on this subject. It's a multifaceted job for those dedicated to infusing stories with the right details, the essential musical backbone that makes movies magical.SUPERGIRL is now available to watch in, likely, any and every theater you can find.---Follow The Movies on Instagram & LetterboxdThrow a couple dollars in the tip jar!
The Justice League is up against Amanda Waller, her council of allies, and Taskforce X (a.k.a. The Suicide Squad) this week. Waller is a planner and wants to protect the world from the League by any means. Batman and the League must examine themselves and their crew carefully. "The Doomsday Sanction" has a confrontation between Batman and Waller that leaves them both shaken. She and her allies are creating means of stopping the League to prevent what happened with the Justice Lords. In this process, they created Doomsday. The Justice Lord's Superman lobotomized Doomsday. But he has regenerated and is set free by Dr. Milo. Doomsday interrupts the League's rescue mission and fights Superman. Batman stops the Kryptonite nuclear bomb and Superman traps Doomsday in lava. The League sends him to the Phantom Zone. Batman is still leery of what the League can do. "Taskforce X" is Waller's Suicide Squad. All the members except for Flag are criminals freed from death row. They are forced into five years of service with an explosive implanted in their heads. Flag, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, the Clock King, and Plastique are tasked with getting abord the Watchtower. Once there, they are to blow the reactor to cause confusion and steal the Annihilator. The Clock King's plan goes well, until the Taskforce reaches the bridge level. Shining Knight, Vigilante, and Atom Smasher put up a fight that slows them down. Martian Manhunter almost has them, until Plastique threatens an unconscious Atom Smasher with a bomb in his mouth. Captain Atom helps but the Taskforce, minus Plastique, escape. They deliver the Annihilator to Waller.

Jace and Rocky break down all 17 DC releases for the week of June 24, 2026. They discuss Detective Comics #1100, where Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary continue investigating Prion's past while the mystery surrounding the young assassin tied to his grave becomes more complicated. Bizarro Year None #2 follows Perry White and Jimmy Olsen as they try to understand the strange rules of Bizarro's square world as the series begins framing this as a distorted Bizarro origin story. Harley Quinn #63 continues Harley's darker current direction as the monochromatic infection and her fractured emotional state push her further from the zanier version of the character. Absolute Superman #20 returns with a massive battle against King Shazam as Superman, Steel and Hawkman are forced to confront whether overwhelming power can be stopped without sacrificing innocent lives. Green Lantern #36 reconnects Kyle Rayner and Jade while Odyssey's identity and past remain in question. Gotham Academy: First Year #5 follows Olive Silverlock's nightmare as it forces her to confront fears about her mother's legacy while Batman and the Gotham Academy cast move closer to the final issue. Absolute Wonder Woman #21 focuses on Absolute Wonder Woman's time in Hell separating her from Barbara Minerva, whose captivity and connection to a dangerous feline god open new questions about her future. The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #5 sees Ezra Cain's pulp adventure escalate into a Nazi-blimp action sequence that leans hard into the series' darker Indiana Jones energy. Flash #34 has Ryan North explain Flash's new precognitive ability through data, speed and probability while keeping the story light, accessible and emotionally grounded. Superman #39 pushes Superboy-Prime through multiple comic-book realities as Manchester Black tests whether he has truly changed, while Dan Mora shifts art styles to match each world. Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 sees Jor-El refuse to let Kryptonian technology be used for weapons while Lex Luthor secretly moves forward with non-lethal weapon development, and the issue brings in Klarion and John Constantine as magic emerges as a weakness for this version of Superman. Wonder Woman #34 brings Wonder War to Diana's confrontation with Matriarch, as the fight centers on whether Wonder Woman's willpower can overcome a Green Lantern ring that Matriarch has spent years forcing to obey her. The issue also ends with Diana making a drastic choice involving the God Killer sword. Justice League Unlimited #20 has Wonder Woman nearly reach Brainiac Queen before Lex Luthor's arrogance and his use of Warp ruin the Justice League's chance to turn her, leaving her missing and possibly setting up a "Cyber Earth" timeline. Swamp Thing 1989 #3 brings Rick Veitch's long-delayed story to its most epic chapter yet, with Swamp Thing existing across different points in DC history and Darkseid appearing in a way that fits the elemental scope of the story. Zatanna #3 pits Zatanna against Agent Di Manes, whose power of quietude suppresses her voice and directly attacks the way she uses magic, while the story also involves Elodi and a muse spirit tied to a dead singer. Summer of Supergirl Special #1 continues from Lobo #4, putting Supergirl and Lobo on trial while Crush, Krypto and Dawg get pulled into the chaos, and the special also includes a Supergirl/Mary Marvel team-up plus a Mark Waid story connecting different versions of Supergirl's history. Justice League: Dream Girls #4 concludes with the Justice League apologizing to Galaxy and giving her mission leader rank, while Dreamer chooses not to join the League yet because she still needs to understand her powers on her own. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.
In celebration of the new movie release of Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow we are returning to the DC Universe as we review Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. On the eve its 30th Anniversary, Kingdom Come asks many questions around theme of what it heroism and what does it mean to each of us. As each generation of heroes answer the question from their own unique perspective, one hero takes a stand as a role model: Superman. The man of Steel, along with Batman, and Wonder Women question themselves in a world of the future, on the edge of Armageddon, questioning their morals, motivations , and is humanity worth saving? This story is recommended for fans of the Justice League, Superman, the artwork and story telling of Mark Waid and Alex Ross, along with stories that challenge the status quo of the DC Universe. Even 30 years since its release, in our opinion, Kingdom Come still stands as one of the great DC Stories of all time. Read it in the trade paperback, Absolute format, online, check out this incredible Elseworlds(Alternative Universe) tale.
Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines join the show to talk about their DC Pride Month event miniseries Justice League: Dream Girls.

Our hosts return to the Podtower to review the third and final instalment of Secret Origins. Alex and Will share their thoughts on the three-part story as a whole and come away feeling a little underwhelmed. They also spotlight the episode's musical score, noting its uncanny resemblance to Pirates of the Caribbean and wondering whether Hans Zimmer may have stolen it from this show. Another film comparison that Alex notices is from The Matrix, in both the music and the aliens' plan to block out the sun.Our hosts also discover that Martian Manhunter might be into BDSM (even if he doesn't know what the acronym stands for), the aliens tunnel of deadly fart gas, and Batman builds a massive space station for the Justice League, only to then remain a temporary member of the team.

Read transcriptLook, at some point you have to respect the audacity of putting the entire Justice League on a Game Boy Advance cartridge. Not one hero. Not two heroes doing a buddy-cop thing. The whole league. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the works. All crammed onto a handheld that also had to share shelf space with Hamtaro games. That's ambition. That's vision. That might also be a cry for help, but we're not here to judge. Justice League Chronicles was Ubisoft's love letter to the animated series, which means it had genuinely great source material to pull from and a screen roughly the size of a Post-it note to work with. The Justice League animated series was the kind of show that made you sit down and watch it with your kids because it was actually that good, and somehow that energy had to survive the trip to a device that ran on two AA batteries. Here to help make sense of it all is Doug Adamson from The Monitor Tapes, a man whose podcast is literally named after the thing the Justice League uses to watch for trouble. Which means he was cosmically destined to appear on this episode whether he wanted to or not. So pull up a chair in the Watchtower, try not to touch anything that looks important, and let's talk about a DC animated tie-in that had no business being as earnest as it was. Learn such things as: Does it really matter if you end up fighting against someone else's villains? Does it really matter if you can't pick how you're going to pair off the League members? Does anything really matter when you're getting to play one of the best cartoons ever made? And so much more! You can find Doug on BlueSky @themonitortapes.com, Threads @themonitortapes (although it might actually be DC Dave running those, I don't know), his podcast The Monitor Tapes, and whatever else they decide to release over on Brick Crisis Network.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie, Star Wars Celebration 2027, and the Future of the DCAU Meta Description: Moose and Game God discuss the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie, the announcement of Star Wars Celebration 2027, and why the DC Animated Universe continues to set the standard for superhero storytelling. The galaxy far, far away continues to expand, and Star Wars fans have plenty to be excited about. In Episode 515 of Podcast4SciFi, Moose and Game God dive into the latest news surrounding The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, discuss the significance of Star Wars Celebration 2027, and explore why the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) remains one of the most respected superhero franchises ever created. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars, DC animation, or both, Episode 515 is packed with discussion, speculation, and plenty of geek culture goodness. The Mandalorian & Grogu: The Next Chapter Since their debut, Din Djarin and Grogu have become two of the most beloved characters in modern science fiction. What began as a streaming series phenomenon is now making the jump to the big screen with The Mandalorian & Grogu. During the episode, Moose and Game God discuss what this move means for Star Wars and whether the franchise is entering a new era of interconnected storytelling. Why Fans Are Excited The return of Din Djarin and Grogu in a theatrical adventure. The opportunity to experience Star Wars on the big screen again. Potential connections to future Star Wars projects and characters. The continued popularity of Grogu, one of the franchise’s most recognizable modern icons. The hosts also share their predictions about where the story could go and what surprises Lucasfilm may still have in store. Star Wars Celebration 2027: Looking Ahead One of the biggest pieces of Star Wars news is the announcement of Star Wars Celebration 2027. Celebration has become the premier event for Star Wars fans worldwide, bringing together creators, actors, collectors, cosplayers, and fans for major announcements and exclusive reveals. What Could Be Announced? While it’s still early, Moose and Game God discuss several possibilities: New Star Wars films and streaming projects. Updates on future Star Wars games. Expanded universe announcements. New collectibles, merchandise, and publishing initiatives. Surprises connected to The Mandalorian & Grogu. If history has taught Star Wars fans anything, it’s that Celebration often delivers unforgettable moments. Why the DCAU Still Matters The conversation then shifts from a galaxy far, far away to the world of superheroes. The DC Animated Universe (DCAU) continues to be regarded as one of the greatest examples of comic book storytelling. From classic animated series to newer projects, DC animation has consistently delivered compelling characters, emotional storytelling, and memorable performances. What Makes the DCAU Special? Strong character-driven stories. Faithful adaptations of iconic heroes and villains. Outstanding voice acting performances. Story arcs that appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers. Consistently high critical and audience ratings. The hosts discuss how modern animated projects continue to build on the foundation established by legendary series such as Batman, Superman, Justice League, and beyond. Star Wars vs. DC Animation: Different Strengths, Same Passion One of the most interesting discussions in Episode 515 centers around how these franchises approach storytelling. Star Wars excels at creating vast worlds filled with mythology, adventure, and wonder. Meanwhile, the DCAU focuses on character development and long-form storytelling that has influenced generations of fans. Rather than competing, both franchises showcase what makes science fiction and fantasy storytelling so enduring. Final Thoughts Episode 515 highlights why fans continue to be passionate about both Star Wars and DC animation. With The Mandalorian & Grogu on the horizon, Star Wars Celebration 2027 generating excitement, and the DCAU continuing to thrive, there’s never been a better time to be a sci-fi and superhero fan.

It's not The Avengers and it's not The Justice League…it's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!!! 10 years before the MCU brought together a team of superheroes to save the world, Allan Quatermain led a team of literary character juggernauts into battle against an evil army intent on world domination. With special effects years ahead of its time, this movie brought a massive amount of action to the screen. It's a rollercoaster ride full of larger than life characters, fascinating machines, and a crazy amount of bullets! Extraordinary indeed! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!
Natalie Lander was inspired to become an actress by watching her dad, David L. Lander, who was best known for playing “Squiggy” on Laverne & Shirley. Natalie has built a résumé that includes a wide range of credits as both a performer and creator.On camera, Natalie has had recurring guest star roles on The Middle, Lopez, and Major Crimes. Other guest-starring credits include Grey's Anatomy, Étoile, 13 Reasons Why, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Castle, Hannah Montana, and more.She voiced “Goldie” on Disney Jr.'s Goldie & Bear and “Stargirl” in DC's Justice League franchise. She's also voiced roles in prominent video games such as Saints Row, Final Fantasy, God of War, and Fire Emblem.If you were a fan of the MTV competition show Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods, you may remember Natalie, who placed fifth in her effort to play Elle Woods on Broadway. She later wrote a one-woman show about that experience, Legally Brunette: The Search for Myself, which has had both West Coast and East Coast premieres.Most recently, Natalie completed a run of her new show, Earth to Squiggy, at the Garry Marshall Theatre, in Burbank, California, which she co-wrote, and is set to the music of her father and Michael McKean, who played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley.For the record, I've known Natalie for a couple of decades from when she sang on a demo of a song I wrote and produced with the composer, Rachael Lawrence.

Read transcriptThe year was 2006. The Game Boy Advance was winding down, the Justice League animated series had wrapped up, and someone at WayForward Technologies looked at a tiny handheld screen and said, “You know what this needs? The Flash. Running very fast. On a cartridge the size of a business card.” And honestly? Bold decision. Justice League Heroes: The Flash took the Game Boy Advance, the beloved animated series, and a Justice League comic run and asked the eternal question: how many Rogues can you stuff into a handheld beat-em-up before the whole thing starts wobbling? This episode, we're finding out. We're covering the comics, the game, the cartoon connections, and whether Barry Allen or Wally West gets more respect in a world that keeps giving them both the speed force and zero chill. Joining us to run this whole thing down is Marrilee O'Neil from Fear Coded, who brings exactly the right energy for a conversation about a game that moves fast and expects you to keep up. So strap in, try not to blink, and let's do this before the Flash gets impatient and reruns the episode himself. Learn such things as: Why couldn't this have just been part of Justice League Heroes? What is the best way to experience time manipulation? Does it really matter if you get to play as Wally or Barry here? And so much more! You can find Merrilee being the main driver of the Fear Coded account on BlueSky @fearcodedpod.bsky.social on her podcast Fear Coded.

It's time to witness what you were previously denied as a reader. Jadzia Axelrod returns to the podcast, talking full spoilers about her new weekly DC Pride event series, Justice League: Dream Girls. Done in collaboration with co-writer Nicole Maines, illustrators Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Ted Brandt, Ro Stein, and a mess load of others, this series reunites superheroes Galaxy and Dreamer immediately after the harrowing events of Justice League Intergalactic. They awaken as princess and champion of the Amazons, rescuing someone who sure looks a lot like Steve Trevor before being propelled into a dramatically different, animated Gotham landscape. Reality and unreality blend together. This week's episode offers a perfect opportunity for reflection: Jadzia Axelrod contemplating the non-linear path that her precious character has taken from Galaxy: The Pretties Star to Hawkgirl to Galaxy: As the World Falls Down to Justice League: Dream Girls. We discuss why her Galaxy pairs so beautifully with Nicole Maines' Dreamer, the tricky oppositions these two characters faced after Justice League Intergalactic, and how their trip through iconic DC storylines in Dream Girls reveals the brilliance and joy readers were previously denied in their comics. Justice League: Dream Girls #1 is out now from DC Comics, with each issue in the four-issue event hitting every Wednesday in June. It's written by Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Mains, illustrated by Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Ted Brandt, and Ro Stein, colored by Marissa Louise and Dearbhla Kelly, and lettered by Jodie Troutman and Frank Cvetkovic. To continue this conversation with Jadzia Axelrod, make sure you're following her Website and BlueSky.

Alex and Will leave the Podcave behind and move into the Podtower as they begin the next stage of Batman's journey through the DCAU with Justice League and watch, “Secret Origins, Part 1.” Along the way, they discuss Batman's updated design for the series, meet the newest heroes joining the expanding animated universe, and take a look at the talented voice cast bringing them to life. The conversation also dives into the episode's many nods to classic sci-fi horror films and uncovers the influences that helped shape the Justice League's debut adventure.As always, the discussion takes a few unexpected detours, including the discovery that Superman may have accidentally wandered into the Manosphere, Batman uses his Superman alert watch for absolutely everything, and Wayne Manor hosts an apple sauce party. Packed with analysis, trivia, and plenty of laughs, this episode marks the beginning of a new era for the podcast as the Justice League finally assembles!
