Podcast! The Comics

This week, the boys welcome back long-time friend of the show Kelly Thompson!  Kelly was recently announced as the writer upcoming Jem and the Holograms comic, and came back to the show to talk about adapting a beloved property for a new century, the amazing art of collaborator Ross Campbell, late night talk shows, her ongoing refusal to watch Everwood and to call James "a nightmare person" about three times.

The highlight of the episode, however, is when Kelly, James and Brandon all discuss their "top five" celebrity lists (i.e., which celebrities they'd most like to have sex with), starting with the heterosexual lists and getting progressively more queer as it goes on.  Find out who all three of them are attracted to, and get a way more intimate look at an up-and-coming writer than you ever thought you would!

This week, the boys talk to Kevin Warren, artist of Copernicus Jones and godforsaken fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.  Over the course of the hour, they touch on restarting the comic after its previous iteration with a different artist, Stephanie McMahon's pedigree and making time for comics and movies when you have a young family.  To his credit, Kevin generally refuses to engage James' needless antagonism over the Cubs/Cardinals rivalry.

This week, the boys remembered at the last minute that it was their 150th episode and they should maybe do something to commemorate the occasion.  Unfortunately, because they realized this so late, there was no time to get a special guest for the show, so instead, they decided they had no other option but to indulge you, the listeners with a Q&A special.  Listen to them take some questions seriously, antagonize you over others and get off topic with even more still!  Enjoy their awkward silence as they acknowledge a previous fight!  Marvel at Channing Tatum!  This episode has it all!  

Well, except comics.  There actually aren't ANY comics in this episode of a podcast with the word "Comics" in the title.  Whoops.  Here's to another 150 episodes of this!

This week, the boys explain their absence over the last few weeks and get right back to business insulting each other, watching TV and talking about comics.  They discuss the first episode of Marco Polo, the new Netflix Original Series, which manages to have almost no white men, a nuanced view of Asia, and a surprising amount of subtlety until the final few minutes, when they can't hold it in any longer.  They talk comics, like She-Hulk #11Daredevil #11Capture Creatures #2 and They're Not Like Us #1.  Finally, they exchange Christmas gifts!  Will this be the year they finally get each other the exact same thing?  Will they Gift of the Magi it?  Listen and find out!
