Podcast! The Comics

This week, the boys record in the strange, uncomfortable hellhole that is Brandon's apartment instead of James' home.  You'd think that would mean they couldn't discuss TV because they didn't have the cable subscription available to watch it on, but you would be wrong!  Shame on you for thinking we need to actually watch TV to be able to talk about it.  Hope you like week-old Happy Endings discussion!

Even better, after a little bit of comics talk - hint!  We really like Journey Into Mystery - there's something even better: a surprise guest!  And not a crappy surprise guest, either!  In this episode, the elusive and lovely Danica appears!  Brandon's sweet baboo is our very special guest to talk about being new to comics and maybe slap Brandon.  It's all a mystery!

Also, it's Halloween or something.

This week, the boys catch up after the Edmonton Comics and Entertainment Expo - the new sister event to the annual expo in Calgary - which Brandon attended and James didn't.  Why did James choose not to go?  Find out!  The boys also discuss a celebrity lookalike on The Walking Dead, the Happy Endings live show that could never, ever air on television and the entertaining lack of narrative tension in Taken 2.  Wrapping up with a discussion of comics, the boys wax rhapsodical about a lot of great comics, but none moreso than Hawkguy #3 and Captain Marvel #5.

This week, James tries to avoid catching Brandon's illness by putting a barrier between them as the episode goes on.  Before Brandon's throat and voice give out, the boys discuss the return of The Walking Dead, Gravity Falls and a big pile of comics from last week.  There are also two big announcements for C!TB events in November!

This week, the boys are hopped up on sugar and, in James' case, no sleep, so things are a little wooly.  After exulting about the great baseball game they just watched, they move into a discussion of TV, movies and comics they've enjoyed recently, including Gravity Falls, Ben & Kate, Argo and Pitch Perfect.  In some of these cases, James talks and Brandon listens.  Along the way, they talk about Jonathan Hickman's second-last issue of FF, Frazer Irving's art in Batman Incorporated #0 and the wonder that was a television show where Tony Danza taught real students in a real classroom.

Harrowing.

James also pitches at least one terrible TV show idea starring Tyler Labine.  Listen, he's... he's tired, you guys.  Not tired enough to subject Brandon to PETA's terrible, trademark-violating anti-Pokemon game that's basically a despicable version of Pokemon, though.  Because that's a real thing.  Their... purpose isn't really clear.

This week, the boys talk TV, including episodes of Revolution and Doctor Who, and talk about a lot of comics they've enjoyed recently.  In addition, they chat about what Mark Millar's new role as a consultant for Fox's Marvel Comics films means.  Most importantly of all, though, James talks about baseball.
