1798 - January 2021 Previews Jan 27, 2021

Show notes

As the month of January comes to a close, gather round for a run through Previews #388, Marvel Previews #7, and DC Connect #8 for books mostly scheduled for release in March 2021. Bryan Deemer joins the crew for the first part of our perusal of catalogs, while the three person team of Chris Eberle, Adam Murdough and Ian Levenstein soldier through the rest of the rest of the books. Plenty of stuff to read ahead of us! (2:39:33)

1797 - Top 5 What Ifs and or Elseworlds Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

Possibly a dream! Maybe an imaginary story! Listen in as the Geeks count down from five to one their favorite alternate tales on familiar characters, and throw in plenty of honorable mentions while they're at it. Don't let the name of the episode fool you, there will be an occasional trek away from the path of just Elseworlds and What If...? branded comics here, but we got Uatu's permission first so everything is fine. Although step on the wrong branch, and history will be rewritten once more! (2:36:56)

For this year's 'Merry Christmas' monologue, Murd thaws out a winter wonder: from 1950, the very first portrayal in prose of that jolly, happy soul, Frosty the Snowman! Put your earbuds on and have some fun, now before he melts away! (5:19)

1792 - November 2020 Previews Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

As we all wake up from our turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie induced food comas, we can all be thankful for a brand new Previews episode! Murd and Ian are this month's dynamic duo, parading select picks from issue 386 of Previews, issue 6 of DC Connect, and issue 5 of Marvel's Previews. Future State, King in Black and Ahoy are ahoy for all, and a feast of other choices while we're at it. And I hope you all saved room for a Muddle the Murd dessert! (2:18:00)

1791 - Top 5 Performances in Comic Related Movies Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Some actors and actresses are so good at a role they make it their own, while still managing to honor the source material that came before. This Top 5 respects and represents these performances throughout the comic book movie genre. Will there be crossover amongst the Geek's choices, or will each list stand alone? Is each choice a superhero, or do some non-superhero portrayals make the cut? Are they all actors taking on lead characters, or is there a side character or two? I'll never tell, I prefer leaving you all in suspense. And...cut! (1:52:16)

1790 - Comic Talk Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

Time for another wibbly-wobbly, loosey-goosey Comic Talk! Topics include the first three episodes of Star Trek: Discovery (spoiler-free outside of some references to general Season 2 stuff); still more changes to DC's distribution chain; some potential and official casting for Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series; Shane's thoughts on The Three Jokers and the Black Mercy's return to Justice League; Chris's enlistment in The Old Guard; Chris and Ian read Chip Zdarsky's first arc of Daredevil; Murd wrestles with Box Brown's GN biography of Andy Kaufman; and more. Oh, and Muddle the Murd, of course. (1:32:24)
