Polygon's Susana Polo joins the show to talk about the upcoming slate of comics adaptations and to highlight things in comics we didn't get to write about but would like to talk about. Polo discusses fandom, what she reps for, her coverage of comic adaptations, the shift in interest in them, how we're feeling about comic movies and shows, flaws from the recent stretch, how important this year is for comic movies, what we're most excited for, how adaptations could connect better with comics, Marvel's struggles on that front, Vertigo's theoretical return, DC's art, Batman's strange stretch, the return of arc titles, the year of manga, writing and podcasting about comics, how she manages to keep going amidst everything, and more.
Joan Queralt, senador de ERC y catedrático de Derecho Penal, ha estado en el 24 horas de RNE con Josep Cuní para analizar el archivo del caso 'Tsunami Democràtic' en la Audiencia Nacional tras un error procesal. Ha calificado este error en los plazos procesales por parte del juez como una "indefensión notoria": "Esos plazos son sagrados, improrrogables e imprescriptibles, y hay que cumplirlos religiosamente".También se ha conocido que la magistrada Susana Polo ha archivado esta causa en el Supremo, donde estaban siendo investigados Carles Puigdemont y Rubén Wagensberg, si bien aún quedan tres procedimientos abiertos. El catedrático ha explicado que los tres "tienen un elemento genético en común", que es la acusación popular. "Hemos visto que la acusación particular es o Vox o asociaciones, digamos, absolutas y radicalmente contrarias al 'procés'. Ya sabemos lo que van a decir antes de que hablen", apunta.Queralt ha insistido en que no hubo terrorismo en la causa: "Si vamos a la definición de terrorismo dice 'graves destrozos en instalaciones, grave caos en instalaciones [...] No hace falta haber vivido en Cataluña para saber que de eso nada pasó, y todos los informes que recabó el juez García Castellón respecto al 'Tsunami' dijeron que no había habido ninguna anormalidad", añade. En cuanto a que el juez Aguirre quiere rechazar la aplicación de la amnistía pidiendo que el Supremo impute a Puigdemont por el caso de la supuesta injerencia rusa, Joan Queralt lo ve como "una interpretación sumamente propia de la ciencia ficción": "La Audiencia hace un mes le dijo al juez Aguirre que no podía hacer una diligencia más que archivar o abrir a juicio oral, y no ha hecho ni lo uno ni lo otro", sentencia Queralt.Escuchar audio

The geeks speak! Gobbledygeek has been resurrected via cloning or Force magic or some shit, and to kick off season 11, Broken Magic author and The Deli Counter of Justice co-creator Eric Sipple has lightspeed-skipped on over to discuss Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. After adoring The Last Jedi, the gang approached this supposed final film in the Skywalker Saga with heavy amounts of skepticism--well-earned, depending on who you ask. They discuss the mystical, magical malarkey behind Palpatine’s return; how director J.J. Abrams and writer Chris Terrio are uniquely suited to not deliver a satisfying conclusion; the oodles of fan service; what the film’s final scene means for the legacy of Star Wars; and more. Plus, they talk about The Baby Yoda Show AKA The Mandalorian. Next: it is January 29, 2020. Paul and Arlo are discussing Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen for a Four-Color Flashback.
