1568 - Ant-Man Movie Review Jul 23, 2015

Show notes

In this episode, we're 'reduced' to discussing the biggest little movie of Summer 2015: Ant-Man! Follow along as we feel out the finer formic features of this fledgling film franchise, and situate it within the grand and growing scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! (1:13:30)

1567 - BOMC: Sex Criminals, Vol. 1 Jul 15, 2015

Show notes

For Mature Listeners Only! The Geeks offer their reactions to the first arc of Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, the heartwarming tale of two young adults who are drawn together by their shared ability to freeze time by... carnal means, and who then make use of this special gift to (what else?) rob a bank! Plenty of lewd humor and explicit imagery lurk within, but don't be daunted--instead, listen as the Geeks plumb the hidden depths of this hilarious, but surprisingly thoughtful and sensitive, sci-fi saga of sexuality, and learn why you should give it a try! (1:12:20)

1566 - Spotlight on Daredevil in the 2000s Jul 08, 2015

Show notes

Our long, historical Highway to Hell's Kitchen ends in this episode, dedicated to the Daredevil comics of the past fifteen years. Discussed are some of the deepest, darkest lows and most hysterical highs of Matt Murdock's long and checkered crimefighting career, as seen in the comics work of David Mack, Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev, Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark, Andy Diggle, Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, and others; plus a few words about DD in other media. And don't miss a bonus 'post-credits' cameo from Drunk Cap! (3:09:24)

1564 - Comic Talk Jun 25, 2015

Show notes

Loosey-goosey, baby! The Geeks mull over a few 'All-New All-Different' Marvel news items and announcements; reveal which characters and/or creators make a comic an 'instant buy' for them; team up to answer the challenge of an especially demanding Muddle the Murd; and do the cha-cha like little, sissy girls. We like-a do the cha-cha. (1:42:49)

1563 - Heroes Con 2015 Jun 22, 2015

Show notes

Jaunt along with Pants and Murd as they road-trip down to that queen of comic conventions, Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC!

(1:26:12)

1561 - DC's Convergence Event, Part 1 Jun 04, 2015

Show notes

So you say you're curious about DC's recent two-month alternate reality showdown extravaganza, Convergence, but you just couldn't spare the time and money to buy and read 40 (count 'em, 40) two-issue para-continuity miniseries? Well, friend, today's your lucky day, because the CGS Geeks have already taken the Convergence plunge, and in this episode they break down and rate the first issues of the first twenty Convergence minis (with more to follow), to help you decide which ones are worthy of your attention! Act now, and you'll also receive bonus coverage of Convergence #0! (2:26:40)

1560 - Spotlight on Daredevil in the 1980s and 1990s Jun 01, 2015

Show notes

With the Frank Miller years behind us, we Geeks continue our underworld journey through Daredevil's history with a visit to the purgatory period of the late 1980s and the 1990s. We give due recognition to prodigious scripting runs by Denny O'Neil, Ann Nocenti, D.G. Chichester, Karl Kesel, and Kevin Smith (with just a few more stories by Miller sprinkled in to sweeten the deal); Daredevil's first encounters with Mephisto, Blackheart, and Typhoid Mary; the return of Elektra, and the deaths of several more of DD's love interests; the infamous red-and-gray armored costume; and every grim vicissitude in between, from issue #192 of Daredevil Volume 1 to the first arc of the Marvel Knights series. A lot of it ain't pretty, but in the life of the Man Without Fear, what is? (2:37:01)

1559 - Off the Racks Two-in-One May 24, 2015

Show notes

We're doubling down on Off the Racks in this episode, bringing you reviews of a whopping SIX comics for the (free) price of three! First, it's a time-traveling twofer as we compare and contrast Image's Chrononauts #1 and Dark Horse's Past Aways #1, with Marvel's Howard the Duck #1 thrown in at no egg-stra charge! Then, please keep your seats for a Revolutionary romp through Dark Horse's Rebels #1, an influx of insights on Uncanny Inhumans #0, and a super-timely (for us) gloss of Marvel's all-new Secret Wars #1! BUT WAIT: there's more! After the reviews, stay tuned for a very special post-dictum from Pants. It'll be more fun than podcast listeners should be allowed to have! (2:26:44)
