Comics!

Andrew coerces Micheal into spending the next 5 weeks looking at Marvel’s adaptation of the original trilogy. We kick off with the first 3 issues of the series, compare adaptation with novel, the different comic book versions and argue about the merits of comic book adaptations of movies. Micheal also [...]

Face Front True Believers! I always wanted to say that. Andrew & Micheal move back into the mainstream with an epic length show in which they dissect SPIDER-MAN. They look at three of the characters most recent re-launches (The BYRNE/MACKIE no. 1 from 1999, The SWING SHIFT one-shot that ushered [...]

Andrew and Micheal wrap up their coverage of VERTIGO comics with a look at JOHN CONSTANTINE – HELLBLAZER! Dismiss from your mind the awful movie (Andrew wishes he could) and join us on a trek through 4 of the master mage’s most excellent adventures. (Ugh, Keanu Reeves reference!)

Andrew had a bad week at work and also had a terrible head cold so Micheal picked the topic, chose the issues, wrote most of the script, picked the music and edited the whole kit and kaboodle into 1 hour of shiny podcasty goodness for your enjoyment. This week’s theme [...]

Micheal & Andrew discuss PREACHER, the best comic book series ever made! Well, possibly. They look at two of the PREACHER specials, discuss the series in depth and make with dodgy accents. Violence and strong themes are every bit a part of the PREACHER lexicon and this episode, whilst trying [...]

Micheal and Andrew discuss all things Death. No, they are not getting all metaphysical, rather they have an in depth discussion about the character of DEATH as she appeared in NEIL GAIMAN’s THE SANDMAN. Along the way they dissect VERTIGO comics, eviscerating some and praising others as the first week [...]

Micheal and Andrew argue over who is Marvel’s second most iconic character in part 2 of MARVEL’s BIG GUNS, before realising that they have inadvertently agreed with each other. With guest appearances by Micheal’s siblings, this look at two generations of FANTASTIC FOUR really is a family affair.

Having covered the Big Two from DC in Episode 1 and 2, Micheal and Andrew turn their attention to Andrew’s all-time favourite comic book character – Spider-Man. Seriously, I’ve thought about firing Micheal and just doing a Spider-Man podcast devoted entirely to unremarkable eras – but I digress. Andrew chooses [...]

In this rerun of an episode originally released January 13th 2011, Micheal and Andrew discuss 2 Bat Classics – THE PLAYER ON THE OTHER SIDE from BATMAN SPECIAL #1 and LAST RITES from 2008. Oh and Micheal falls off a chair. He did that a lot in the early days!

Let us take you back to a time when Andrew didn’t know how to edit and Micheal was uncomfortable in front of a microphone and Marvel at how little has changed as two chancers from the North of England start a podcast. In this inaugral show, Mike and Andrew talk [...]
