Podcast! The Comics

This week, the boys talk about all the TV they watched, from Gravity Falls to Doctor Who, and James makes some bold, correct statements about Oblivion, the latest Tom Cruise movie that is Just Not Very Good(tm).  Brandon and James also have a disagreement (gasp!) about Tumblr (oh.)  Finally, they talk about comics, from Mark Waid's latest ongoing masterpiece in Daredevil #25 to Danger Club #5, which is basically a Mark Millar comic if it was better written.

We don't shy away from the tough stuff here, guys.

This week, Brandon returns from his Portland vacation and gives James a recap of how it went, including a pretty amazing gift that he and Danica got for him.  James proceeds to be a level of ungrateful that can most charitably be described as "monstrous."

It's back to normal!

After this, the talk turns to the important things in life, like Louis C.K.'s new comedy special, Oh My God, and several episodes of Gravity Falls that had accumulated while Brandon was gone.  Eventually, the talk turns to comics, from the stupendous Hawkguy #9 to Saga #12 and the drama over it last week.  And then, faster than the Oakland A's can hit a home run, they're gone in the night... forever.  Or until next week.

This week, James sits down with friend of the show (and weekly Doctor Who talker-abouter) Scott Williams to discuss the Showcase of Immortals, the grandest stage of sports entertainment, WrestleMania 29!  

Wait, come back!

First, James and Scott discuss the night's  events, match by match, including the one James was really looking forward to that didn't happen, because the WWE is bad at planning things.  For goodness' sake, they didn't even show the debut of the Swaggermobile!  Unforgivable.  That's not the only bone the boys had to pick, though; moving on from the night itself, they talk about the things WWE does well, the things it does poorly, and why two grown men who aren't John Cena marks stick around if so much of what the company does disappoints them.

It's riveting, really.

This week, Brandon is gone to Portland on vacation, but shit around here still needed to get done, no thanks to him, so James brought in a guest host to fill in.  Jay Runham, of Edmonton's top movie podcast Jay N J, stepped up to the task, and had James over to his place to record, where Jay and his wife gave James fancy water and pizza, which is to say they did better than Brandon's ever done!  He should really replace the dead weight more often.

Jay and James catch up about Jay's recent vacation to Hawaii, and talk about G.I. Joe: Retaliation, basketball, comics and Mr. Met, the objectively greatest mascot in professional sports.  James also gets Jay's wife involved, which means he can also replace Danica too, apparently.  He should have done this years ago!

Jay is also here with an exclusive announcement about Jay N J and its future, so listen on and discover what that's all about.
