0:00 - 15:00 | Algorithmic Nightmares and Artifact Smugglers First doomscroll topic hits hard: Hobby Lobby smuggling ancient artifacts from Iraq. Over 5,000 cuneiform tablets bought under shady labels like “tile samples”. Founder Steve Green's evangelical push via the Bible Museum. Accusations of stealing from Oxford, displaying fake Dead Sea Scrolls. “Where are the actual hobbies at Hobby Lobby?” Theorizing big corporations as fronts—Walmart, Hobby Lobby, even Chuck E. Cheese. Sam jokes about these shady businesses mimicking Vatican-style secret knowledge hoarding. 15:00 - 30:00 | Occult Horror Films and Cultural Reflection Discussion shifts to horror movie occult symbolism. Black horror films and their deep ties to cultural rituals and themes. Jordan Peele's work praised; shoutout to Leprechaun in the Hood. Horror as a genre of affluence—Western culture's need for safe scares. Feminine dominance in horror—women as survivors, not victims.

Mike and Sam discuss how tragedies can shift life trajectory. Sam distances from the full-on Freemason hate: Acknowledges “dark sects” but defends friends in the fraternity. Joke: “Freemasons are the CrossFit of secret societies—they love to talk about it.” 75:00 - 90:00 | Slap Heard Around the NBA & Elder Abuse Allegations Epic NBA story: Charles Oakley slapping Tyrone Hill mid warm-up for unpaid debt. Ref's response: “He owes me money too.” Brief shoutout to classic Knicks era and old-school NBA roughness. Sam reacts to a documentary on elder abuse involving Stan Lee.

Power of X-Men: The Greatest Comic Book Podcast in All of the Multiverse!
Cassandra Nova is coming! In this episode, we dive deep into Grant Morrison's New X-Men #122, where Cassandra, now in Xavier's body, begins her terrifying conquest of the Shi'ar Empire and sets her gaze back on Earth. What does this mean for the X-Men, and can anyone stop her? We also revisit the Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost issue from 2020—Hickman and Dauterman's homage to the psychic rescue in the previous episode. Did it deliver? And finally… we react to YOUR hottest takes!
In this 2006 conversation, legendary writer and editor Denny O'Neil joins Word Balloon to revisit his groundbreaking 1980s run on The Question, a series that helped redefine the character for a new generation. Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics, Vic Sage found new life under O'Neil's pen—philosophical, gritty, and deeply human.We also explore Denny's novel Helltown, which digs into Vic Sage's origin story in a bold new way. Longtime fans will notice some departures from past continuity, but the spirit—and sharp commentary—are pure O'Neil.Plus: Denny shares stories from his early days in comics, working under editors like Julie Schwartz and Stan Lee, and yes, there's some great Batman talk too—no surprise from the man who helped shape the Dark Knight for over three decades. A must-listen for fans of classic comics, noir storytelling, and one of the true legends of the mediu
On this episode of Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by nerd about town Adam Lance Garcia to dive into one of the perenial crossovers of the '70s: Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man! We talk tabloid-sized team-ups, Bronze Age bravado, and what happens when DC and Marvel let their icons share a skyline. Who wins? … I mean… It's Superman. It's obviously Superman. But that said, it's a blast of a conversation, so tune in, True Believers! Check out Adam's Stuff: The Green Lama: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-green-lama/id1593061792 From A Certain Point of View: https://a.co/d/fiY396f Overview Adam Lance Garcia, an established Star Wars author, shares his early fandom of Superman sparked by the 1976 Christopher Reeve film and its lasting influence on his work. The 1976 Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man marks the first DC/Marvel superhero crossover with a creative team that includes Gerry Conway and Stan Lee, highlighting its historical significance in comic book history. The story features a 92-page length with 36 pages dedicated to prologues to set character dynamics effectively, a considerable feat for comics at that time. Character interactions are facilitated by a news convention setting, notably altering the traditional roles of Superman as he works as a TV anchor at GBS. Lex Luthor emerges as the primary villain, while Doc Ock's role remains secondary, demonstrating the power dynamics within the narrative. Unique plot devices, such as a red sun ray that allows Spider-Man to challenge Superman, illustrate creative solutions for character conflicts. The discussion reveals dated elements in the narrative, particularly an Africa sequence deemed problematic, albeit 'well-intentioned' for its time. Comparisons to superior crossovers like JLA/Avengers emphasize shortcomings in Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, particularly regarding character integration and narrative depth. Iconic moments in the comic, including Spider-Man's ineffective punches and Peter Parker saving Lois Lane, highlight successful character interactions that resonate with fans.

The discussion examines why having "a million monsters" often creates noise rather than signal, and explores how constraint and focus can lead to more impactful creative projects.The episode draws from the tension between Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Marvel Comics history to illustrate the difference between creative execution and editorial vision. It explores how the elevator pitch mentality from Hollywood applies to personal artistic projects, using Star Wars as an example of how one clear core idea can anchor an entire universe. The argument centers on the principle that artistic projects need a single, easily communicable hook that people can understand and share, rather than an overwhelming collection of interesting elements.—Chapters00:00 Intro01:06 Welcome02:23 The Million Monster Problem06:11 Why Clear Signal Beats Creative Chaos16:29 The Stan Lee vs Jack Kirby Lesson28:52 Pick One Idea and Go Deeper35:40 The Analytical Takeaway37:41 The Simple Takeaway37:48 The Practical Takeaway40:39 The Philosophical Takeaway44:11 Outro—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

Tonight on TV Party Tonight, Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher dive into the outrageous and often forgotten adult animated series Stripperella, created by none other than Stan Lee and starring Pamela Anderson. We explore the show's unique blend of superhero satire, risqué humor, and early 2000s pop culture absurdity. From its edgy animation style to its bizarre plotlines, we ask—was Stripperella ahead of its time or just a weird cultural blip? Tune in as we dust off this forgotten gem and decide if it still has a place in the superhero TV canon.Stripperella debuted on Spike TV in summer 2003 and lasted one season with 13 episodes. Anderson described it as not being a raunchy show, despite obvious double entendres and topless nudity (which was blurred out when shown on Spike TV).Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Hebreos 11: 33-34, NTVHace unos meses, compartí contigo la historia de Hulk, el famoso superhéroe de Marvel, y cómo este personaje refleja las dos naturalezas que luchan por dominarnos. Sin embargo, hoy quiero invitarte a explorar un aspecto poco conocido del increíble Hulk.¿De dónde crees que provino la inspiración para crear a este icónico personaje? Uno podría pensar que Stan Lee y Jack Kirby se inspiraron en un niño malcriado o en una persona muy violenta que arrasa con todo a su paso. Entonces, imagina mi sorpresa cuando leí en una entrevista que Jack Kirby obtuvo la inspiración para crear a Hulk cuando vio a una madre levantar un vehículo para salvar a su bebé.Kirby comenta: «Su bebé había quedado atrapado bajo las ruedas en marcha de un coche. La madre estaba horrorizada. Miró por la ventana trasera y en su desesperación levantó la parte trasera del vehículo. Y de pronto me di cuenta de que todos podemos hacer eso en un momento de desesperación. Podemos tirar paredes, podemos perder la cabeza, cosa que hacemos. Ya sabes lo que pasa cuando estás enfurecido, puedes tirar la casa abajo. Y creé un personaje que hacía todo eso y lo llamé Hulk. Y todo lo que era al principio lo saqué de aquel incidente [...]. Aquella mujer demostró que, en circunstancias desesperadas, una persona ordinaria puede trascender y hacer cosas que normalmente no podría hacer. Yo mismo lo he hecho. Yo he doblado metal».*Al leer las palabras de Jack Kirby, me di cuenta de que Hulk no solo representa la ira y la violencia humanas, sino que también puede ilustrar nuestra capacidad de hacer el bien, de salvar una vida o de ayudar a alguien que lo necesita. En Hebreos 11, Pablo señala que es la fe, y no la ira o la desesperación, lo que nos capacita para realizar grandes hazañas.La fe es ese superpoder que puede convertir tu debilidad en fortaleza. Hoy no te canses de hacer el bien, «porque si no nos desanimamos, a su debido tiempo cosecharemos» (Gálatas 6: 9). Deja salir hoy al héroe que hay en ti.

Spider-Man Team-Up #7 (1997)Look, I know it's supposed to be more Thunderbolts but the “Justice Like Lightning” trade tricks you into reading a Spider-Man book. Thankfully, it is chronologically congruent to the ongoing storyline that we are covering so let's keep going.Spider-Man is framed for murder and the Thunderbolts are the only ones to can help (because everyone else is dead). Songbird and Mach-1 brawl with the web-slinger while Atlas signs a rooftop autograph using his fingernails. It is ultimately revealed the Enclave (aka Wilford Brimley and the Egon Spanglers) are sending androids out to muck up the works and that really steams Mach-1's ponytail.Also, Spider-Man hits a brick wall, Stan Lee makes Batman obese, Techno goes full Dolby and Mary Jane's course books are just too damn EXPENSIVE!All this plus Jen and Shawn share their experience at the latest RetroMania and talk about the new, bizarre Superman movie toys.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:12:30 ***Promos: 8TW AUDIO WORKS (https://twotruefreaks.com/podcast/8tw-promo-pilot-season/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt go full flannel as they rewind to 1995 and dive headfirst into Kevin Smith's cult classic Mallrats—a movie that taught a generation never to trust a chocolate covered pretzel, stay out of the back of Volkswagens, and for the love of Stan Lee, fear the escalator Our trio of podcasting mallrats unpacks the film's most unforgettable moments, from Brodie's unapologetic comic book obsession to Jay and Silent Bob's cartoonish chaos, Trish the Dish's questionable book topic and why the hell is the guy at the Fashionable Male so angry all day? Expect plenty of 90s nostalgia, deep dives into VHS-era fashion choices, and at least one wild discussion about the difference between the food court and mid mall snacking. Plus, why is it so hazardous being the Easter Bunny? Whether you loved the movie or just hung out in a mall once in 1995, this episode's got your back like a security guard with a grudge and a walkie-talkie Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

Fantastic Four in Media Here's the list of Fantastic Four titles in order by year: Fantastic Four #1 – Comic Book (1961) Fantastic Four (Hanna-Barbera) – Animated Television Series (1967) Fantastic Four (70s Unproduced Cinema Feature) – Unproduced TV Pilot (~1978) Fantastic Four (Jessica Alba Film) – Live-Action Film (2005) Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – Live-Action Film (2007) Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes – Animated Television Series (2006) Fantastic Four (Reboot) – Live-Action Film (2015) Origin & Enduring Appeal Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four first shocked readers with a unique origin—a crew gaining powers via cosmic rays during an unauthorized space flight. Their genuine human flaws, family bonds, and scientific wonder have kept fans intrigued for decades. Why Studios Are Committed Studios see unmatched narrative depth in the Fantastic Four. Their blend of family drama with larger-than-life challenges makes their story a rich canvas, one that promises both nostalgic appeal and fresh, character-driven action on the big screen.
