Things can get emotional when we’re reading our comics and this week turned on the waterworks a bit. Ron and Conor hold down the fort while Josh is off on an HR approved trip.

It’s back! Thanks to our awesome Patrons, it’s the return of the Booksplode! What’s a Booksplode you might ask?

It’s the 575th Episode Extravaganza! To celebrate this milestone we’re delighted to announce that Josh Flanagan has returned to the podcast!

You’d think with Josh Flanagan missing, that the show would have been shorter. Somehow we end up giving you 10 bonus minutes of great comics talk as Ron Richards and Conor Kilpatrick tackle the tough subjects of today’s modern comic book reader. If you see Josh, please tell him we’re worried and we love him, no matter what. But maybe not as much as that damn purple elephant. Running Time: 01:11:33...

When the Patrons select the same book that is named the Pick of the Week the entire show is thrown into chaos!

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it’s another iFanboy comic creator interview, or as we call it, the Talksplode. Judd Winick was known to many as a cast member on the third season of The Real World, but he’s also a long time comic book veteran, having written and drawn the classic Pedro and Me, Barry Ween Boy Genius, and spending 11 years writing superhero comics for Marvel, DC, and others. These days,...

Caw! It’s time for comics. Some are good. Some are “fine” and others are, as always, infected with that damned Terrigen mist cloud. There’s a bit of rebar talk, and genuine enthusiasm for socks. All that, and dual Rebirth ratings in our make up segment. Also, see if you can find Conor referencing Project Greenlight season 3. It happens. And more. Running Time: 01:08:46 Comics: 00:01:46 – Kill or B...

After stealing everyone’s hearts in The Lego Movie, Batman gets another star turn in The Lego Batman Movie!

Some Chaykin talk, some gentle ribbing, Mark Wahlberg, and plenty of dislikes to go around, but some actual thoughtful talk about comics, somewhere in the middle.

Who would have thought we'd ever see a sitcom based in the DC Comics Universe? Well, here we are. Possibly the apex of the superhero media frenzy, or just another chapter.

It’s time to go to a place where things are simper, quieter. Conor Kilpatrick and Ron Richards take a trip to Riverdale, home of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and the gang where there’s also murder, lesbian kisses, and Luke Perry. The CW’s latest comic book themed show makes a big impression with it’s first episode and we analyze it and argue about where Riverdale actually is. Running Time: 00:...

Say that our podcast is Electro and… It’ll make sense when you listen. Maybe not, actually. Ron, Josh and Conor are back with some comics that were chosen by us to read, and others that were chosen by people who specifically wanted to punish us. But their vindictive voting cannot stem the tide of a good time talking about comics and rating (rating) things, plus TR Talk. Why hasn’t Ron watched Frid...

It’s the first Pick of the Week of 2017 and it’s an extra special extended episode!
