“The Greatest Pod Reboots DC Comics” is our attempt to explain what we think is not quite optimized in the modern DC Comics universe. Of course, we talk about reimagining the role of “The Trinity” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman BUT WE AL
This episode features Ed going crazy in the middle and our special guest, filmmaker Henry McCommas (Wolfman’s Got Nards, The Camp Host) talking him off the ledge. Besides that bit of scintillating radio we have an awesome (if male filmmaker cen
In this episode titled, “The Greatest Powers Redux” we TRY to have a conversation about the greatest superpowers but it quickly turns into another psychological exploration about the nature of power as conceived of by nerds without it. This ti

“The Greatest Myths In Nerd Culture” is our discussion on some of the beliefs nerds had in the past and some that persist to this day. But overall this is a fun convo about a changing landscape and about some of the ways so called “nerd cultur
“The Greatest Cartoon Reboots” could be misleading. We aren’t trying to rank cartoon reboots, we are talking about the ones that deserve it according to us. There are so many action cartoons from different eras that seem like they’d be slam dun
“The Greatest Year End Review and MAILBAG!!” is a truly unique show because we try to sum up our year but get sidetracked by the “how do we ‘save’ comics” conversation that comics retailers and people like Mark Millar ignited this last week onl
“Is Superhero Fatigue The Greatest?” That’s a loaded question isn’t it? It’s funny that it only took about 12 years of consistent, big budget comic book fare at the movies for us to declare that the party was over and mostly because one company
Of course this can’t be THE definitive list of “The Greatest Films of The Last Five Years” but it’s the ones that sprang to mind while we recorded this. We’re here to debunk the notion that “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.” Because they

The Greatest Writers in Comics Super Sized Finale(Morrison, Millar, Ennis, Simone, Kirkman and more)
This is the senses-shattering conclusion to our series on “The Greatest Writers In Comics.” We discuss canceled people, low-key right-wingers, idea guys, and luminaries…some of these writers are all of these things at once. We get into the busi
In part two of The Greatest Comic Book Writers we try to get to the modern guys but the giants like Miller, Gaiman, Dwayne McDuffie, Mark Waid, Alan Moore etc., emerge to lead us through the 1980’s and the 1990’s using their vision to expand wh
“The Greatest Writers in Comics” (Part One) MOSTLY concerns people who work for “the big 2” meaning Marvel and DC, however within that framework we will discuss everyone from iconoclasts to “jobbers” as the Cartoonist Kayfabe guys say. There ar
*Next week we will be back on a more or less weekly schedule. Thanks for enduring the dog days.* The question mark in “The Greatest Powers?” refers to Ed’s relentless pursuit of the downside of superpowers if they were to exist. Would having th
“The Greatest Pet Peeves In Pop Culture” is our attempt to discuss the tropes and trends that Ed, Ron, and Bill dislike the most in pop culture. Can we stop shooting everything from diner scenes to space battles in the same four by five area ag

“The Greatest Archenemies” is our attempt to examine villainy in our pop culture lifetimes. What qualities must an archenemy possess to attain that status? Serialized fiction lends itself to operatic cycles of violence which seem necessary for
