Our hosts return to the Podtower to continue their review of Part 2 of Secret Origins.While the episode brings together some of DC's biggest heroes for the first time, Alex and Will come away feeling surprisingly underwhelmed by the experience. They discuss whether introducing so many major characters at once weakens the impact of their eventual team-up and wonder if a few heroes might have been better saved for later episodes.Our hosts also wonder what the gooey, white alien invaders might be made of (if you know this podcast, I'm sure you can guess!). They also compare Superman's heat vision to a hot glue gun, discover that The Flash is a real Gooner, Batman gets benched, and Martian Manhunter goes emo.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoIn the fall of 1941 a unique superhero was born to the nascent comic book industry. The creation of William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peters, and bowing in All Star Comics # 8 (cover dated January 1942), Princess Diana, the Amazing Amazon from Paradise Island, burst upon a world at war as--WONDER WOMAN! Armed with the powers of the Greek Gods, and the awesome capacity to win the day with love andcompassion, Wonder Woman was an instant hit with four color readers.By 1943, the Amazon Princess was appearing regularly in "Sensation Comics", "Wonder Woman", and "Comic Cavalcade".Wonder Woman was going toe to toe with the big boys on the block--Superman, Batman and Captain Marvel! And when almost all the heroes fell into obscurity bythe early 1950's, Wonder Woman kept pace with only two other survivors--The Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Detective.   In the following decades, Wonder Woman's star would shine and dim. Its orbit caught in the vagaries of current tastes and trends.But there came a time when one legend was due to meet head on with another; a living legend of the comic book industry who had previously made his mark on such books as "The New Teen Titans", "The Fantastic Four", and "The Avengers". Following the universe reshuffling DCComics event-"Crisis on Infinite Earths", Princess Diana and George Perez met and began a tenure on one of the most historic comic book runs in history!  Please join James and Joe as "The Secret Origins of Mint Condition" finally pays tribute to this seminal hero and the creative genius who redefined her for a new age! Greek Mythology, magic, epic battles, customs and language barriers, new friends found, and the bonds of love and devotion that survive and conquer hate and war, are all ongraphic display by master storyteller--George Perez.    We hope that this podcast will inspire you to read (or reread)this magnificent comic book run so that you may discover howfriendship, courage  and devotion can overcome the most bleak times. Diana and George have given us the blueprint.

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!

What if America's race to the stars began not with science—but with ritual? From Jack Parsons to shadowy Cold War programs, Richard Syrett and Ali Siadatan unravel a forbidden narrative: angelic wars, inter-dimensional forces, and a space program possibly rooted in occult ambition. Is NASA exploring space—or reopening ancient gateways? GUEST: Ali Siadatan is the founder of Think Again Productions and a provocative documentary filmmaker exploring the intersection of biblical prophecy, ancient texts, and modern phenomena. His work challenges conventional narratives, arguing that UFOs and advanced technologies may reflect interdimensional or spiritual realities rather than extraterrestrial origins. His film UFOs, Angels and Gods has sparked global debate.

In 1908, a girl was brutally murdered in a small town in upstate New York. The town was seemingly idyllic, but beneath the surface, it was crawling with prostitution, orgies, deceit, and corruption. It was fueled by a political machine so powerful it could cover up not just one but multiple murders. The truth behind the murder of Hazel Drew was meant to remain unsolvable. Just like the television show it inspired over 80 years later. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

We sit down with veteran comics artist Howard Simpson (who also works under the pen name Poppy) to explore his diverse career that began after earning his BFA from Tyler School of Arts and working as a commercial artist during the 1980s for major clients including Action News, Bantam Books, Sony, and various Fortune 500 companies. Howard shares his transition from commercial work and fanzine contributions to breaking into professional comics with DC, working on titles like Green Lantern, The Outsiders, Secret Origins, and Young All-Stars, as well as inking Dark Horse's Captain Crusader. We dive into his prolific 1990s work across multiple publishers including First Publishing's Grimjack and Munden's Bar, Heroic Comics' Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt, Icicle, and League of Champions, Topps' Ray Bradbury Comics: Martian Chronicles, and his extensive contributions as penciller, inker, and background artist for Acclaim's Valiant imprint series like Turok, plus his work illustrating Timon and Pumbaa stories for Disney Adventures. Howard discusses the differences between commercial art and comics, working across so many different publishers and genres, the craft of inking versus pencilling, and how the comics industry evolved from the 80s through the 90s. | 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.

Show notes provided by Chris LaBancaHumans are social creatures. We band together for support and protection, especially in times of danger. That tendency to rely on one another is arguably one of our greatest strengths as a species! Unless, of course, there's something out there counting on us doing just that. Something that can rub, and fray, and tear at those bonds of humanity until none of us can trust any single person. Somehow, impossibly, including ourselves.Join the Secret Origins crew as we huddle together for warmth and safety in an Antarctic outpost, and discuss John Carpenter's The Thing. But we (and the sled dogs) are not the only living creatures out here in this arctic wasteland. And we probably don't have long. Because, especially here, 'man is the warmest place to hide.'

Hey there all stars! It's been a while, but I wanted to get this episode out to the masses! I was spurred on by my second guest (Dr Anj) and his love for the Golden Age Sandman! Plus, my pal and huge Green Lantern fan, WardHillTerry is here as well to talk some Guy Gardner (and a little Hal Jordan as well)! And yes, I'm well aware the GL story isn't Earth 2, but I wanted to include it in the episode just to cover the entire issue. If you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Aworldonfirepodcast@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @allsquadron or on the show's Facebook page (just search A World on Fire an All Star Squadron podcast)!

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoGathered from the four corners of the cosmos are assembled the world's four greatest podcasters! James! Chris! Richie! and Joe!, banded together to bring you the BIG Fourth Anniversary Episode! of The Secret Origins of Mint Condition!!"! (Cue the theme from The Super-Friends)   Dusting off Sherman's and Mr. Peabody's Way-Back Machine, the guys revisit the GREAT Batman v Superman debate from an era when Mint Condition had four walls. To say that this special episode dives deeply into the various eras of the two most iconic fictional characters in all of comics would be a gross understatement of epic proportions! Suffice it to say that this "return" shines new lights and perceptions on who exactly are Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent.   So much is discussed and disseminated in this episode, that itwould be a crime to reveal the contents and spoil your listeningenjoyment. And while the verbal repartee is measured and respectful, there are a few surprises contained herein that may shock and surprise.   And as we now enter year five, I know I speak for all the MintFaithful in publicly thanking James Louie for the creation of thiswonderful digital forum that has kept the spirit of Mint Condition Comics alive. Whoever thought that comic books and CBM's, Star Trek and Star Wars, Magic The Gathering and Pokemon, science fiction and fantasy--and yes--baseball and hockey could engender a universe worth of conversations that would ultimately spark into creation a loving family of friends who always dared to dream? Thanks, James.

El verano de 1938 nació en las páginas de Action Cómics el considerado como primer superhéroe del cómic: Superman. Su éxito, inmediato y arrollador, abrió las puertas de un Olimpo pop al que fueron accediendo otros mitos contemporáneos que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo y se han adaptado a otros formatos como Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman o Hulk.Antes, otros héroes habían aparecido en seriales radiofónicos y en publicaciones pulp: Tarzán, El Hombre enmascarado, Dick Tracy, Flash Gordon… Sin embargo, ninguno de ellos reunía las tres características canónicas que, a partir de El Hombre de Acero, tendrían los superhéroes: poderes sobrehumanos, doble identidad y un entorno urbano y reconocible por sus lectores.Los superhéroes, no obstante, tuvieron que enfrentarse a la censura promovida por sectores conservadores. Ni siquiera el patriotismo que personajes como el Capitán América mostraron durante la II Guerra Mundial rehabilitó a estos mitos, que hubieron de someterse durante mucho tiempo al Comics Code Authority.En plena Guerra Fría los superhéroes iniciarán un viaje hacia el realismo. La irrupción de creadores como Frank Miller o Alan Moore en los años 80 y 90 lo cambió todo. El primero, tiñó de noir las aventuras de Batman o de Daredevil. El segundo, con la creación de Watchmen, sentó a los superhéroes en el diván: también ellos podían ser corruptos e, incluso, un peligro para el mundo.Con guión de Alfredo Laín y realización de Miguel Ángel Coleto y Mayca Aguilera, Grandes superhéroes del cómic. Mitología y supervivencia, cuenta con la participación de tres grandes aficionados al cómic y a los superhéroes: el divulgador Antonio Monfort, autor de Secret Origin. Historia y evolución de los superhéroes; la periodista e investigadora Elisa McCausland, autora de Wonder Woman. El feminismo como superpoder; y el poeta Luis Alberto de Cuenca, autor de El héroe y sus máscaras.Escuchar audio

In 1908, a girl was brutally murdered in a small town in upstate New York. The town was seemingly idyllic, but beneath the surface, it was crawling with prostitution, orgies, deceit, and corruption. It was fueled by a political machine so powerful it could cover up not just one but multiple murders. The truth behind the murder of Hazel Drew was meant to remain unsolvable. Just like the television show it inspired over 80 years later. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

Welcome to B The Way Forward Interludes - a series of conversations that don't necessarily fit in our regular season, but are just too good to not share. This week, a very special episode for Women's History Month.  Telle Whitney was already a trailblazing woman in the field of semiconductors when she moved to  Silicon Valley in the 1980s. Anita Borg had already made a name for herself in systems. The two met at a party and became fast friends. Among all the things they bonded over was, of course, their shared experiences as women in tech. And the ways they both tried to deal with the glaring disparity between men and women in the industry. But Anita and Telle weren't content to just commiserate. They were determined to do something about it. Out of that determination and that friendship, the Grace Hopper Celebration and the Institute for Women and Technology - which became AnitaB.org - were born. Anita Borg and Tell Whitney saw a need and decided  to do something about it - and the tech space would never be the same.  Telle - Co-Founder of AnitaB.org and Brenda's predecessor as President and CEO - pulls back the curtain on the early days of AnitaB.org, the secret origin of Anita's pioneering networking group Systers, and what it was like at the very first GHC in 1994. Plus, Telle helps us get to know who Anita Borg was in the ways only a close friend can. For from of Telle and her work check her out... On LinkedIn - /telle-whitney On X - @TelleWhitney --- At our heart, AnitaB.org is a connector: we connect women in tech to the organizations, opportunities, and tools they need to advance, thrive, and transform the future of technology.

Why is my chair so squeaky? Is Derek burping? The only person who might know is The Watcher, who is introduced in this issue of Fantastic Four. A truly jam-packed bit of storytelling, this issue has dead cities on the Moon, a commie villain, a trio of super-apes, the winning of the space race and more. It's the kind of comic book fun that could only happen in the 60s. In the intro we chat a bit about robot vacuums and a mysterious picture of a pixelated man at the Fantastic Four wrap party. Plus: James Gunn answers a question about the Superman trailer. And I introduce Derek to the world of the Costco Guys. If you don't care about that, skip to 32:49. Next week: we start watching Creature Commandos, the first glimpse at the new DCU! Join us, won't you?

In 1974, a pioneer of the SAS and master of military deception, Dudley Clarke, passed away. His death went almost entirely unnoticed by the British public, despite the fact that he carried out some of the most dramatic deception campaigns of World War Two. He waged a covert war of trickery and misdirection across Europe, which ended up getting him arrested by Spanish authorities while dressed as a woman. He also helped to found one of the world's preeminent special forces; the Special Air Service, or the SAS. His contribution is often overlooked, but without it, the SAS may well have never existed.So who was Dudley Clarke? What were some of the most audacious acts of subterfuge he carried out? And why is he not better known? Dan is joined by former SAS Troop Commander and author of Speed, Aggression, Surprise: The Secret Origins of the SAS, Tom Petch, to answer these questions and more.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
