Our dear friend, Kelly Thompson, returns to the show to discuss her new comic from Boom Studios, Mega Princess! We then catch up with what's been going on in Jem and her future projects for Star Wars and Hawkeye for Marvel before talking about writing in general (and even some NaNoWriMo stuff)! A much needed solace to remedy the craziness of this week!!
Once again, we give updates on our creative projects before drifting into a little Talk Nerdy. This week, we discuss our surprisingly positive reactions to the Ghost in the Shell trailer. Afterwards, we tackle our long awaited Starbound challenge, diving into what did or didn't resonate with us about the game, and sandbox games in general!
Before we conjure up spoilers for Marvel's newest film, Doctor Strange, Drew, Myles, and Patrick give updates on how their NaNoWriMo projects as well as celebrate the return of the animated show, Young Justice!!
We're back!! After talking about the new Nintendo Switch and NaNoWriMo, we delve into our Halloween special feature: It Follows. The guys go back and forth in what tricks worked and what treats didn't (we all know Myles loved it) as they discuss the 2014 modern horror classic.
New York ComicCon happened last weekend, where a number of incredibly exciting announcements and reveals took place. After some Talk Nerdy To Me, the boys dive right into all of the comic, TV, and movie news that happened at the con this week. Spoiler: Myles goes nuts for the Power Rangers trailer.
Marvel and Netflix release the first season for their third Defender, Luke Cage, so we prepared one of our special SPOILERCASTS for the occasion. Drew, Myles, and Patrick dive into what they absolutely loved and what didn't always work for them about the show, all while engaging in a group cup of coffee.
This week we travel back to the late 90's as we read the Marvel Knights volume of Black Panther written by Christopher Priest. We delve into how this book reintroduced the Black Panther to a new audience, how this works even now without being dated, and why it's still a great superhero comic even today!
The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived! Destiny's new expansion, Rise of Iron has released, and, boy, do we have some impressions. But first! Quentin Weir and Dan Reiss from Elderwood Academy join us to discuss their new products currently lighting up Kickstarter, the Scroll and Codex dice and rolling tray! We get into how the company got their start and talk about their process on making products that spice up the tabletop gaming experience!
This week Patrick lays down a Double Film Feature presentation for his Birthday Challenge: To watch both "Escape From New York", and "Escape From L.A." directed by John Carpenter. We track Snake Plisskens tours through the world of Metropolitan Maximum Security Prisons as he warns us about the downfalls of the Electoral College in U.S. Politics.
Justine Prado and Jenn St-Onge, the writer and artist of Emet Comics' Finding Molly: An Adventure in Catsitting, join us this week to discuss the inspiration behind their hilarious and sincere book as well as talking about their new Kickstarter to fund the Finding Molly graphic novel! It's a rare treat to have both creators of a comic aboard, and we had an absolute blast talking about comics, cats, and comics about cats!
Once every ninety years, Myles and Drew completely agree on something, so it only makes sense that Patrick doesn't! This week's challenge to read The Wicked and The Divine brings about this rare occurrence! But before that, we talk about a little nerdy movie news in Talk Nerdy To Me!
Netflix's Stranger Things has taken the world by both surprise and storm, and the guys are no different. This week we talk about our experiences with the show and how it succeeded every expectation we had!
It's Drew's birthday! In celebration, he challenged us to watch the two hour pilot and first episode to an old favorite show of his: Babylon 5! After some Talk Nerdy To Me, we discuss the merits of the science fiction cult classic, and why it still works over twenty years later.
DC's newest cinematic offering, Suicide Squad, is in theatres now! Drew, Myles, and Patrick take on some of DC's baddest villains to see how they translate to screen!
This week we wrapped up all of the cool stuff that was unveiled at the annual San Diego ComicCon International! And for the first time in years, it seemed, to us, anyway, DC stood out the most. Why? Listen on and find out!
