Become the Teapot

Ian and Iain prepare to enter the Multiverse of Madness by paying a visit to the good doctor. This episode, they're discussing Marvel's Doctor Strange (2016) and Doctor Strange: The Oath by Brian K Vaughan and Marcos Martin, but will they like them or will they find them a bit... odd? Also on the menu (apart from the usual overstuffing of eggs) is some first impressions and general chit-chat about Moon Knight. Laters 'gators.

Ian and Iain are 50% riddled with COVID but that won't stop them from wanging on about Wanted (2008) and the comic book miniseries it's loosely based on by Mark Millar & J G Jones. Strong opinions are shared before discussion turns to Peacemaker, IT (Parts 1 & 2), Death on the Nile, The Bubble, Moonfall, and (once again) Supernatural.

Content Warning: Discussion of themes and events present in the comic book, including racism, ableism and sexual assault.

Ian and Iain are your hosts in a half-shell for this exploration into 21st century Turtle Power. Bad decisions may have been made when they chose not-Michael Bay's (but totally Michael Bay's) 2014 movie, but what will they think of the IDW comic run from around the same time? As well as the general waffle, they're also discussing product placement, favourite turtles and pizza based Buzzfeed quizzes.

Ian and Iain may be locked in combat for your soul, but they're in full agreement about the quality of The New Mutants (2020). Will this newfound harmony carryover into their discussion of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz's Demon Bear Saga? Probably not, but listen anyway to find out. Also, as they've both finally got around to watching The Batman, feast your ears on some bonus spoiler-free bat chat.

Ian and Iain are sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire The Losers. Wait... that doesn't sound right. This episode, Ian and Iain discuss The Losers (2010) in relation to the comic of the same name by Andy Diggle and Jock, as well as Final Space, Shaun of the Dead, Star Wars, and Supernatural (apologies once again to Supernatural fans).

Ian and Iain prepare for the upcoming release of The Batman by revisiting The Caped Crusader's last solo film, The Dark Knight Rises (2012). They also read Batman: Knightfall in order to get to grips with the main Bane; "the man who broke the bat". Having completed the Christopher Nolan trilogy (in the wrong order, naturally) they discuss their favourite films, villains and (as always) Easter Eggs.

Ian and Iain round out Ryanuary by revisiting the imaginatively titled Deadpool 2 (2018), and what better comic is there to accompany a Deadpool film featuring Cable than Cable & Deadpool by Fabian Nicieza? Does the sequel live up to its predecessor? Is Josh Brolin better as Cable or Thanos? Can Ian guess higher or lower numbers? Two of these three questions will be answered in this very episode!

To accompany this cinematic tour de force, they'll also be reading Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith and Origin by a whole bunch of people. Also featuring the much promised "New Years New Who", in which we discuss Doctor Who: Flux.
