Podcast! The Comics

This week, the boys discuss Brandon's impending move and how, to cut down on the amount of stuff he owns, Brandon inflicted it on James instead.  Next, they have a spoiler-filled discussion of this week's Game of Thrones episode, "Blackwater," and the nature of adapting a popular piece of fiction to another medium.  Finally, they talk about comics because it's in the title of the dang podcast.

WARNING: The discussion of Game of Thrones in this episode has spoilers about this week's episode, "Blackwater," and the series to date.  If you don't want to have plot points ruined for you, skip from 14:00 to 22:20. LISTEN SAFELY!

This week, the boys welcome their good friend, music writer, former colleague and fellow weird-Twitter-joke-maker Scott Williams to the show as a special guest co-host!  We're not going to say he's actually famed inker/Jim Lee collaborator, but we're not going to not do a cheap ploy, either.

Fun!

Get ready for a long episode, one with even less structure than we're known for.  Part serious discussion of media criticism theory, part discussion of Big Star and discovering music, part discussion of Community and other television shows, there's a lot here.

This week, the boys start off by talking about their apartments - Brandon is moving out of his to live with his girlfriend and there was a fire in the building next to James', which finally made him "remember" to get tenant's insurance.  Next, they talk about their various sitcom and screenplay ideas, realize again that they can never run for office and finally, talk about some comics.  It's not like that's actually in the name of the podcast or anything.
