Podcast! The Comics

This week, the boys get right into it by talking about a movie they saw an advanced screening of and really enjoyed, Looper.  In fact, they get into it so quickly that James forgets all about mentioning the show's sponsor.  After talking about Looper - and Brandon's accidental sexual harassment of a coworker - they get into two new TV series that started this week, Ben & Kate and The Mindy Project.  Finally, they talk about comics they liked and whether or not Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige actually disrespected Jack Kirby in a recent interview.

Hint: people are getting upset at the wrong thing... again.

This week, the boys recover from their big week with Kieron Gillen by recording the podcast on a quiet night in.  They start by watching the pilot of the new JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke show on NBC, Revolution, comparing it to the producers' other shows' first episodes and describing why they'll be watching again next week.  Next, they move into a discussion of recent comics they liked, and James tries to retalk about comics they've already discussed.  Most importantly, the boys talk about their love for Greg Berlanti, the man who saved Dawson's Creek and will probably make the CW's show Arrow one to watch.

This week, the boys talk to the amazing Kieron Gillen, writer of series like Journey Into Mystery, Uncanny X-Men and the upcoming Iron Man as part of Marvel NOW!, not to mention the great Phonogram, returning soon.  It's a surprisingly on-topic conversation, ranging from Kieron's next direction and current mindset to the potential difference in cultural reaction to his books.  Befitting the writer of Phonogram, they also talk shop about music and semi-autobiography.  Plus, James asks him about the Killers even after being told specifically not to a day earlier.

This week, the boys talk about things they've done and enjoyed recently, from James' Doctor Who party to Gravity Falls, and the entire way through they discover threads of surprisingly inappropriate sexuality.  After setting a record for time spent before earning their explicit tag, the boys talk comics they enjoyed recently.
