We're on vacation, what a perfect opportunity to check out the premiere episode of our sister podcast Nerd Orchestra! Uncle Chuck reviews the very best soundtracks from the very best nerd genre movies with a little help from us! Like, subscribe and review on your favorite platform! In our debut episode, we have a listen to the magnificent John Williams score to Superman: The Movie (1978)

Whirly-Bats! Medieval torture devices! Scientific gobbledegook! Gay Batman and hipster Green Lantern! What more could you ask for? It's The Brave and the Bold #69!!!

Flash has an uncontrollable urge to do something he should have done WAY before he walked down the aisle...and a bum ankle to boot! Plus Dr. Bobb's wilderness nightmare, the Silurian hypothesis, and more! It's Flash #166!

Don't panic, the Doom Patrol isn't dead after all (yet) but they do have to put a beat down on a giant plastic barbarian. Plus Beast Boy's adorable boy-sized space suit, Miss Young America, and Thtanley's Monthter gets a real name at last! It's Doom Patrol 109 and Fox and Crow 101!

Mento gets small and rescues Elasti-Girl from a bizzare microscopic world - and that's just the first three pages! The Brotherhood of Evil reveal themselves at last, and Beast Boy cheats at sprinting! All this and more in Doom Patrol 108!

Batman faces a dappily-dressed menace from his past - apparently not dapper enough to be on Gotham's Ten Best-Dressed List, but that's another story! (Literally. It's another story right in this very same issue.) PLUS learning to shave, the return of Irene Vartanoff, and so much more!

Animal-Man moves his super-hero career into high gear and gets the jump (pun intended) on a gang of nogoodniks! PLUS a little bit of WWII espionge plays out on Dinosaur Island! It's Strange Adventures and Star-Spangled War Stories all rolled into one!

A short and sweet episode today, Dr. Husband has me on a VERY tight schedule. But not so tight that I can't wax eloquently about what an awful misogynistic pig Doc Magnius is! It's Metal Men #23!

(continuing a story from Metal Men 22, covered on this podcast [checks notes] OVER A YEAR AGO: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/checkered-past/id1350233450?i=1000601970551) 

Jimmy's got trouble AND HOW, betrothed to a lady gorilla and even his signal watch is no help! Luckily his inability to calculate time zones has saved the earth from an explosive destruction. Catch up with all the fun in Jimmy Olsen #98!

Hawkman goes opinion to pinion with The Raven, a nogoodnik from the back alleys of Midway City! Plus the Hawks reveal their dirty secret, that they're just out here destroying ancient relics and replacing them with high0-tech forgeries. PLUS Quoth Irene Vartanoff - nevermore!
