Frank Miller was a big deal, briefly, right after Sin City and 300, so they thought, heeeey, why not let him write and direct the big screen debut of Will Eisner's superhero comic strip The Spirit? Frank Miller brings his signature style and incomprehensible fashy sensibilities to this big of hot garbage. Never have you watched Samuel L Jackson and Scarlet Johansen embarrass themselves so!

Technically, we're cheating on this episode, but it's OUR show, so we can cheat if we want to: We both happened to see that new Transformers movie, Transformers One, so we thought we would talk about it. Ethan, a life-long Transformers fan and aficionado, and Mike, perpetual newbie, have big opinions on this film. In short: It's pretty darn good! If you like robots and sci fi, give it a shot!

So technically, this counts cuz the Addams Family was a comic! For legal reasons, they had to bury this episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies where Scooby Doo meets the Addams Family! Mike and Ethan have very different opinions on Scooby Doo, but first enjoy a prolonged conversation about MEAT.

We're back to our roots, watching Peanuts specials! God, there's so many of these. There's like a million of them. This week, we're looking at "You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown" and "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown" - two Peanuts specials about Charlie Brown being forced to participate in team sports that he hates! He actually wins, though. WHAAA!??

One of our favorite recurring guests Morbiose returns to talk about Popeye... and not just ANY Popeye, but the live action motion picture starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. Morbiose has good feelings for MOST of this film, except for ONE thing, and Mike is really mad about Harry Nilson's funeral dirge music.

Can you believe we've been doing this podcast for 5 years? We sure can't! Join us for a trip down memory lane where we ostensibly talk about our most popular episodes, but as usual, we get sidetracked to talk about random stuff like Piers Anthony and also babies. Mike has a new niece so he's talking about babies a lot lately!

This was never a comic strip, BUT it WAS a TV special... so this week we're looking at the long lost but recently rediscovered 1969 special HEY HEY IT IS FAT ALBERT, the special that inspired the later TV series. We talk about how it is Fat Albert time and also the complicated legacy of his creator.

Archie's big appeal is that he makes being a teenager look SO COOL. So what if Archie was middle-aged? What then, smart guy? This TV special about Archie's high school reunion posits just such a scenario -- and the crazy thing? It's not too bad. But you wouldn't think it considering that we mostly talked about Christian media rip-offs and fucking the muppets.
