Conor Kilpatrick is sleepy and his allergies are killing him and he can't remember anything this week. Josh Flanagan keeps moving his mic around or something and it sounds weird sometimes.

Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan are joined by former columnist Mike Romo to discuss Joker , the stand alone period piece origin film that is generating wildly disparate reactions in the general movie-going public ... but how will our hosts react? One thing's for sure -- it certainly triggers some memories for three guys who all have lived in New York City. Running Time: 00:42:00 Music: "That's...

Thanks to our awesome Patrons , we're proud to present another Booksplode ! What's a Booksplode ? It's a bi-monthly special edition show in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don't have time to do on the regular show.

Thanks to iFanboy Patrons , it's Talksplode time. Already a successful author, Brad Meltzer made a big splash in comics after taking over Green Arrow from Kevin Smith, and following that up with the Identity Crisis mini-series, with Rags Morales, a story that is still talked about today.

Having so many books to talk about this week leads to a new (old?) segment, Josh Flanagan shows a little episode 700 anxiety, and the hot weather causes Conor Kilpatrick to mentally spin out at the end of the show. Also, Josh forgets to read an important book while digressions into The Goonies and Christmas Vacation almost derail the entire show. Running Time: 01:08:30 Pick of the Week: 00:03:50 –...
