1779 - Book of the Month Club: The Star Wars Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

It's a battle, and premise, everyone in the galaxy knows by now: Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, lightsaber in hand, bands together with his group of rebels, a duo of droids, Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca to take on Darth Vader and the evil Empire. But if you think you know more than that basic descriptor, well, we've got news for you. This ain't your daddy's Star Wars. Gather round as we discuss a very different eight-issue comic book adaptation of George Lucas' original rough draft, The Star Wars. And who better to assist in dissecting this Book of the Month selection and tying it into all kinds of Star Wars lore than Ryan Drost of the Star Joes podcast? Nobody, I say! May the Force of Others be with you. (2:09:51)

Show notes

We the people of Comic Geek Speak, in recognition of the fantastic coincidence that Episode 1776 of our podcast is due for release in the week of July 4th, do ordain and establish this special tribute to the first appearances of three characters with ties to the American War of Independence: Will Eisner's Uncle Sam (National Comics #1, 1940), Capt. Steven Rogers of the Continental Army (Captain America #194, 1976 / Cap: Sentinel of Liberty #6-7, 1999), and the Black Coat (The Black Coat: A Call to Arms #1, 2006). Download it at your liberty; it's a yankee-doodle dandy! (1:21:18)

1775 - Top 5 Supporting Characters Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

The time has come for some of the most salient second bananas in comics to reach the top--Top Five, that is! This episode is our strictly subjective salute to all the friends and relatives, lovers and colleagues, mentors and tormentors, and miscellaneous bit-players that make the stars of our favorite series shine their brightest. Join us in thanking them for their support! (1:56:22)

1774 - Comic Talk Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

The Geeks take time to reflect and speculate on DC's withdrawal from Diamond Comic Distributors. Our podcast progenitor, Bryan Deemer, pops in to talk about what he's been reading, to stress the virtues of domestic decluttering, and to reopen the standard 'print vs. digital' debate. We take a look at this year's Eisner Awards nominees. And the beat goes on! (1:50:48)

1773 - A Conversation with Zack Kruse Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

Our old crony-in-comics Zack Kruse, fresh off the completion of a PhD. in comics and literature, stops by to talk about his soon-to-be-published book on the art and personal philosophy of Steve Ditko. Think you know all you need to know about this much-misunderstood figure in comics history? Listen to what Dr. Zack has to say, and think again! (1:02:27)

1772 - Comic Talk May 29, 2020

We catch a falling star and put it in our pocket in this episode, as we discuss the premiere of the stellar new CWTV series, DC's Stargirl! Plus many more multimedia maunderings. (1:28:43)

1771 - Galaxy Quest Retro Movie Review May 25, 2020

Show notes

Get ready for a Retro Movie Review of Galaxy Quest, the stirringly satirical saga of a handful of has-been actors who, thanks to a race of naive aliens, get a chance to be the outer-space heroes they used to play on TV! The Geeks declare their varying degrees of devotion to this 1999 cult classic, thought by many to be the greatest (or at least the funniest) non-Star-Trek Star Trek movie ever made! By Grabthar's Hammer, you will be entertained! (1:17:09)

1770 - Comic Talk, and Catching Up With Danielle Corsetto May 09, 2020

Show notes

The CGS rolodex continues to unfold its wonders, as we welcome back cartoonist Danielle Corsetto to enthuse about Elephant Town (the open-ended online graphic novel she's been working on) and to shoot the breeze with us about the bad habits and guilty pleasures we've all embraced under quarantine! Plus, a paean to the X-Men, Claremont's and Hickman's; a bit of speculation on the possible demise of Diamond's comics distribution monopoly; several reader's reviews; and other COVIDiosyncrasies. (2:00:11)
