Champions...of Digression!

Um...we read Tales of the Teen Titans #49. It's a filler issue and there's not a ton of there there, so we were left to our own devices...which meant that we mostly talked about animal buttholes. Kind of a lot. Enjoy! Enjoy!

It's a real "Rush" as we read Defenders #45! Topics include: sexy mummies; horse drugs; Neal Peart lyrics; and an exciting investment opportunity for a super villainous family restaurant! Plus a new Hostess Theater presents! Belinski!

Bagoomm! We read Tales of the Teen Titans #48...we think. We get a little confused in this one. Topics of discussion include: The DNAgents; authentic footwear; graffiti fonts; and nautical insults! Enjoy! Enjoy!

We got all hopped up on Jammin' Lemon Ginger Tea and read Defenders #44. Dang, three writers makes for a lot of words! Topics of discussion include: Herbal tea mascots, Cronuts, Hellcat, and the fact that Jack Norris remains the worst. Hang ten on the wave of the future with us!

Welcome to Titan Up the Defense: After Dark! It's the conclusion of the shirtless Aqualad saga.

It's the debut of a new creative team on the Defenders this issue! It's...not...good. But our hosts expound on woodsheds and Doritos, and as promised, Hub share his thoughts on the film Uncle Drew! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Grumbling guitar-fish! Aqualad is back! Hooray! We read Tales of the Teen Titans #45. Topics include: the greatest Teen Titan of all time, Sea strengthened limbs, and Aqualad! All this plus the new segment: What's Speedy Probably Up To? Enjoy! Enjoy!

It's Steve Gerber's final issue of the Defenders! Our hosts pay homage to Mr. Gerber by being borderline incomprehensible for this episode. Topics include: Macaroni-I-Win, Kyle is the worst, Hulk is woke, and philosophical sandwich conundrums! All this, plus find out how Hub's dog feels about Rick Barry!

It's a big podcast for a big issue. We read Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #3. It's the Finale of the Judas Contract! Topics include: Deathstroke is a piece of crap; Rudy is the best HIVE member; where butlers come from; and a whole bunch of Terra thoughts. All this Plus, are Millennials killing the ninja industry?

Vote! A very special mini-episode in which Cory and Hub remind you to vote and then reward you for having done so by sharing the story of the funniest thing they have ever seen. Vote!

Happy Halloween! A young couple in Maine breaks into an abandoned barn and is surprised to encounter that the owner is a farmer, disco enthusiast, and oh yes...a vampire! He shares a tale of terror, love, and dance music from the barn's former heyday as a discotheque with a rather peculiar clientele.

Enj...

We drink Burnt Trailers and read Defenders #38! So just up top, I want to let you guys know that there were some technical issues and part of the audio for this show is pretty crappy. I did my best to mitigate the issue when I edited, but it's still pretty choppy. Sorry. That being said, this was a really fun issue! We loved it!

Could this issue be the end of our titular teenagers? Probably not. We read New Teen Titans #41. Topics include: Um...things; also, stuff. Look, I'm going to level with you, this one got away from us a little bit. I know we talked about TV theme songs a bit, and this Brother Blood guy seems like a real jerk, but the rest is kinda hazy. Enjoy! Enjoy!

Horticultural hijinks abound when Plant Man attacks! We take a look at Defenders #37. Topics include: the return of Luke Cage, Hulk breaks Namor's record, Plant Man hates getting punched in the dick, and Nebulon's clown cult has some pretty fun rides.

Bloody Heck! We take a look at the startlingly sanguinary New Teen Titans #40! Topics include: lava talk, Hub's hazy recollection of the story of Paul, Gar continues to be the worst, and a surprising amount of Joe Walsh talk. All this, plus Brother Blood's marvelous mustache detector! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Killer plants, kung-fu neurosurgeons, and cosmic clown cults abound as our hosts take a look at Defenders #36! Topics include: Ring shaped breakfast foods, rogue paperboys, monkey blood, and misremembered bumper stickers. All this plus more nonsense than you can shake a prehensile beanstalk at! Enjoy! Enjoy! Dazzle!
