138: No It's Bey, Key(s)

We've really done it this time as we deliver a Double Stuffed(tm) show that dares to ask: why is everyone so crazy about lemonade all of a sudden? Listen to find out if we ever get anywhere on that. Plus, we talk gay Star Wars characters in the news, Mika brings a review of LIZA, THE FOX FAIRY, we read LOCKE AND KEY for Comic Book Club *AND* we play our ECCC interview with artist Tamra Bonvillain! Be our boo!

136: The Year the Music Died

Death's holiday is over and he's back, hustlin' like the Blob in a pie-eating contest, so we're saying goodbye this week to the Purple One, Joey Coco, the Artist himself, Prince. Plus, once we're cleaned up and presentable, we hit THEY'RE NOT LIKE US in Comic Book Club, recoil in horror at Hollywood whitewashing in a Big Issues segment *AND* finally get our wishes granted when we talk to Jay and Miles (of X-Plain the X-Men) in the Emerald City!

Seriously, Death...take some personal time or something. You've done plenty.

135: Liam Nee-show!

It's Erin Go BLAM this week as we review the lesser-known works of heartthrob grandpa, Liam Neeson! Hold up, tho...it's his icky kissy movies, not the fun, daughter-kidnapping stuff.

CON CRUD IS REAL

ECCC 2016 Day 4(on the floor)

Come hear two shells of former humans croak on about Day 4 of ECCC until they fell asleep on-mic. It's our last day of individual coverage of the con and we talk Civil War II, speculate on Rogue One, reveal our thoughts on the new Suicide Squad trailer, and go on forever about the amazing creators we interviewed at the con! Plus, a Geek on the Street segment where we take the temperature of con-goers re: Captain America vs. Iron Man! Hint: not looking good for Tony.

Like, a total landslide...

If you only listen to one show about the Saturday of ECCC 2016 hosted by us, MAKE IT THIS ONE!

To sleep, perchance to dream of feet that don't hurt...

HARD WOK

ECCC 2016 Day 0(?)

What day is it even...we have no idea. As Emerald City Comic Con opens in Seattle, Image pulls of the heist of the century by kickstarting con a day early with Image Expo! We talk the announcements from that, run down a bit of the week's news, review Black Panther #1 (hot from the shelves!), and we let you know where we'll be this weekend at ECCC! PLUS, another installment of Comic Book Club where we gawp in awe at Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels!
