Hey everybody, welcome back! In this episode, I sit down with my buddy Sean Ross (Bat-Pod, Secret Wars and Beyond), and we talk about another crazy issue of The Brave and the Bold! Oh yeah, Bob Zany Haney really lets loose in this one and we get art by Neal Adams (cover by Irv Novick) to boot! The post Batman 1966 TV show era was definitely a rollercoaster for Batman, and this book is certainly re...

Welcome back to another episode of the show. This time around I’ve got a returning guest, Karen (@Walker_KM) from the Planet 8 Podcast (and formerly Bronze Age Babies!)!

Hey everybody! I invited a new guest to the show for a special occasion. August has been deemed #JackKirbyMonth (by the powers that be on Twitter), and I couldn't let it slip away without talking some Kirby on the podcast (technically this episode won't drop until September 3rd, but just use your imagination). Joining me this time, is a Kirby enthusiast that loves the King's crazier, later work (l...

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of the show. This time around my buddy Herman Louw and I will be discussing a classic horror film in The Wicker Man (1973).

Hey everybody! In this fun episode, I had my buddy Clinton Robison ( Coffee and Comics , Days of High Adventure ) stop in, and we both love to talk some Conan, so we chatted about one of our favorite stories! This character had a great run at Marvel comics, with not only a conventional comic book, but also in the line of black and white magazines as well! We'll talk about this story, and our thoug...

Hey everybody, get ready for another episode of Magazines and Monsters!

This time around, we're talking about a proto-Amicus film (by Subotsky and Rosenberg), called City of the Dead (1960, Horror Hotel in the U.S.)!

We're covering The Brave and the Bold 14...

Hey everybody! Herman and I are back with another film discussion! Night of the Eagle (1962) is a good one from a smaller studio (as in not Hammer or Amicus), but really delivers the goods! The film is actually based on a very good novel, Conjure Wife (by Fritz Lieber, and we'll talk about it, too) about witchcraft in the setting of a small British university. If you haven't seen this film yet, de...

Hey all you ghouls! I'm back with another movie review with my old pal Herman Louw! This time out we will be talking about one of our favorite television productions, Salem's Lot (1979/80)!
