Hey there, zany ones! My good pal Mart Gray (the Too Dangerous for a Girl Blog) is back, and we've got a fantastic issue to cover! One of my favorite things in comics, is when writers try to script dialogue from another country. Haney has some fun moments and some ridiculous ones as well, but Mart and I have a fun time sifting through it all! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the s...

Hey everybody! My buddy Jeremiah is back, and we are ready to jump back into our coverage of The Phantom Stranger! It's been too long since we talked about DC's supernatural superhero.

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedba...

Hey everybody! Karen is back and boy do we have a crazy movie for you! Peter Cushing, John Carridine and Brooke Adams star in this weird, creepy film from 1977! Zombies can be pretty scary, but underwater nazi zombies are terrifying. We talk about the cast a bit, then dive headfirst into the movie, and we talk about it all, even some of its issues. It may be low budget, but it's definitely worth a...

Hey there zany ones! It's time to take a walk on the tech side, as Batman and The Atom must find a hacker! Luckily for me, though, Delvin from the Longbox Crusade is here with me to help decode this crazy story! We'll try to figure out if these bad guys are German or Swiss, and if computers control traffic lights in 1979. Plus, we might need to call the X-Men, as we have a Trask in our midst! As u...

Hey everybody! Scott West is here and we've got two more issues of The Tomb of Dracula to talk about!

Hey everybody, Mike from Comics in the Golden Age is back, and we're jumping back into our coverage of the Frankenstein series of films from Hamer Studios! This film is really interesting, and we deep dive about it in this episode. There's no real continuity from the previous film to speak of, but that's probably a good thing. We get Peter Cushing, and as usual he's fantastic, add in Thorley Walte...

Hey everybody, Happy New Year! I'm welcoming a guest you haven't heard in a while, but I'm excited to have Rob (I have a nerdy mind) back with the show!

Hey everybody! Happy New Year! Let's start 2024 off right with two of my favorite people, Dr. Bobb and Dr. Husband from the Checkered Past Podcast! I've invited them on to talk about the crazy hero, Metamorpho. The Haney dialogue is always a point of emphasis in these books, but the way he writes this cast of characters is really off the chain! As usual, if you want to leave any feedback for the s...

Hey everybody! Dr Anj is back, and he's brought along another issue of Adventure Comics, starring The Spectre! The series has been nothing short of awesome, but will that continue in this issue?

Hey everybody! We're back with the penultimate (I love that word) episode of our Thor the Eternals Saga! We see Thor learn about his past or is it alternate past? But why doesn't Thor remember any of this happening? And what does an opera have to do with it? I hope you already have the answers, because Evan, Ed, and I probably don't! Listen in to find some answers...maybe! As usual, if you'd like...

Hey there zany ones! Ross is back, and we're here to talk about another crazy comic from DC comics in the Bronze Age! Plus, it's written by Bob Haney!
