I began the show talking about the itch I feel from time to time. No, not THAT itch—the shopping itch. It’s the reason why guys may go a little overboard when it comes to our hobbies. I reminisce on a couple of old, but great, video games. I wish I could say I’m finally done talking about Fables, but I’m not. I am done reading about it in Fables: T…

Jersey Shore is back! Oh yeah! And I don’t understand MTV’s, or most cable network’s, policy when it comes to posting shows online. I discuss my rather bad experience with an online toy retailer. Don’t shop there. I discuss the oldie John Constantine, Hellblazer: Fear & Loathing (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillion). It’s like the preview of the great Preac…

I stop myself from going on one rant by covering the new and surprisingly good, Thundercats show. Then I spend a few minutes going over my excellent, but out of print goody—Spawn Origins Deluxe Vol. 1. Unfortunately, I must eventually move on to Fables: War & Pieces (Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham). It’s the most anti-climatic ending to the war w…

It’s a short show this week. However, I do spend a few minutes giving my spoiler free thoughts on Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s good, but also disappointing, and not in the way you think a comic book host might think. I end the show by covering the prematurely canceled series, Air: A History of the Future (G. Willow Wilson, M.K. Perker).…

Good morning everyone! I delve into talking about my limited experience with the overrated Mass Effect 1. I also compare the differences between Mass Effect and Dragon Age Origins. Because of some tiny convention this week, I believe it’s called San Diego Comic Con, there’s plenty of news. I go over the panels I wasn’t able to attend and the upcomi…

I’m back! I talk about the recent changes in Netflix subscriptions and how it’s not that big a deal. But people like to whine about things being taken away anyway. Also, Jackie Chan Adventures is on their stream so you should watch it. Hi-yah! If you’re going to San Diego Comic Con, check out the Vertigo panels, and pick me up the Back to the Futur…

It wouldn’t be an Independence Day weekend without a Michael Bay movie. So I give my spoil-free thoughts of Transformers: Dark (Side) of the Moon and about the trilogy in general. Even though I’m a HUGE Transformers fan, my thoughts are not as favorable as you might think. I then cover Fables: Sons of Empire (Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham). It’s…

I lack energy this week and my voice is gone because of the San Jose kotei. As much fun as I had, it may be my last one. I talk about it and me taking a break from the collectible card game, Legend of the Five Rings. I go over some old school Vertigo by covering Shade, the Changing Man: The American Scream (Peter Milligan, Chris Bachalo, Mark Penni…

Just when I thought there was nothing to talk about on this hot, summer day, I find something I’ve been meaning to watch for ages—Never Sleep Again! If you’re a fan of the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, you should watch it. If you’re not a fan, but into movies and the going ons behind them, you should watch it. There’s no news this week, but the…

It is a fine day as I celebrate the Dallas Mavericks beating the Miami Heat! Not one, indeed. I dissect why the Mavericks were the better team. To be honest, I picked the Heat to win in six, but was hoping for the Mavs. There’s one piece of news this week as I talk about yet another Vertigo cancellation. I’m not surprised because it was one of thos…

Before I talk about comics, I break down my Top 5 Cartoons of all time. Woo-hoo! There’s been some kind of news with DC this week, but I have a hard time remembering it. I think it’s big. Whatever it is, it makes me incoherent. I move on to Fables: Arabian Days (And Nights) by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham. Because of the title expect a lot o…

This is a short episode this week, but I do cover a lot of ground like the UFC, Majesty, organic food, and culture differences. Listen as my voice gets progressively worse throughout the episode. There was a lot of editing done. I soldier through and cover The Vinyl Underground: Watching the Detectives (Si Spencer, Simon Gane, Cameron Stewart), whi…

It’s been a few years since I’ve regularly watched Smallville, but of course, I had to watch the series finale. I “spoil” that. The finale was so bad an episode that I decided to make my own Smallville finale. How would you have done the last episode? I cover the rather good Fables: Homelands (Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham). We finally get some …

I recently watched both Thor and Fast Five so you know I have to talk about them. Don’t worry, I don’t spoil them, but if you haven’t seen them, you should. And stay past the credits, this includes Fast Five. There’s one sad, but unsurprising news this week as I say goodbye to FOX’s Human Target. I then move on talking about the imaginative, invent…

It’s that time of the year again to talk about the NBA playoffs—playoffs! I talk about how dirty the Lakers were and got swept by the Dallas Mavericks. However, I spend most of the show talking about comics. Because I’m me, I mispronounce things, more than I usually do when I begin my journey to finish Fables by covering Fables: The Mean Seasons (B…

If you think I couldn’t tie Osama Bin Laden’s death with the rising prices in vending machines, you’d be wrong. Before I get political, I talk about Dave and Buster’s and how I’m a Spin-N-Win master! Oddly enough that gets me to talk about unhealthy couples. I do remember to talk about comics by covering Demo (Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan). I enjoyed …

I celebrate this 100 episode by dragging a few people on to talk about the Y: The Last Man series—spoilers and all. We also stray off topic because that’s the way I run my show. Thanks again to Karen and Rob for joining me and for you listeners that have stuck with me for 100 episodes. It’s been a long road. download this episode Right-click and ch…

I get serious this episode, at least for a minute or two, when I talk about my book, Catalyst: The Passage of Hellsfire. So please, buy my book if you want to support the show and me. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I then talk about the awesome board game I picked up—Munchkin Quest! I finish the show talking about the classic Hellblazer: Dangerous Habit…

If you haven’t seen Only the Strong, you should. It was an awesomely cheesy, early 90s movie that’s streaming on Netflix. That way, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I move on talking about the good and bad of Bioware’s new game, Dragon Age 2. There’s more rumors than news this week, but you take what you can get with DC’s forgotten imprint. I co…

Because I see patterns where there are none, I see things happening in the world controlled by a certain, powerful group. I also drop some history knowledge, or try to. I talk about something I never would have thought possible—Facebook games. While I’ve enjoyed Jack of Fables, I don't enjoy Jack of Fables: Americana (Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturg…

I recently signed up for Netflix, and spend a few minutes talking about it and all the movies I’ve watched—namely, romantic comedies. There’s a little bit of news from Emerald Comic-Con. It’s nothing exciting but it is “news.” I go over Y: The Last Man—Whys and Wherefores (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). I talk about the little good, the mostly bad,…

This show’s more comic oriented than normal. How odd. I talk a lot about the new digital comic app for the Android and one with the strangest spelled name—Graphic.ly. It’s a terrible program that needs a lot of work. You can hear me struggle with it. A Preacher movie has been confirmed and I think I’m the only one who can see it working. I’m an opt…

I celebrate my recent victory in my local Northern California League for L5R despite tanking the last two tournaments. I’m that good. I then talk about the NBA Dunk Contest and the homecooking Blake Griffin got. There’s a minor bit of news this week before I go over Y: The Last Man—Motherland (Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra). One more trade before I …

Another year, another Valentine’s Day by myself. Oddly enough, I understand women more because of the very insightful book I’m reading, The Female Brain. For my Valentine’s gift, I may give myself Netflix. I talk about the rather violent and tough to read book yet insightful, Unknown Soldier: Easy Kill (Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli). Where do …

Football season’s finally over, but there must be one last show about it. I talk about the Superbowl, but I spend more time going over the horrible halftime, the all right commercials, and the awesome movie trailers they showed. I’m tired of talking about Y: The Last Man, but I’m also amazed about how I can find something new and terrible each trad…
