More SDCC coverage than you can shake a batarang at! Our new CNI correspondent, Maria, gets some great interviews. She chats with Jeremy Platt (The Violent Kind producer) and Rob Zombie himself stops by during the interview to drop some devilish science. Later in the show, Maria and Jimmy do a recap of what she covered at Comic-Con. She also interviewed Sefton Hill, game director of the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game and Stephen Frost, one of the production leads on the Iron Man 2 video game. News includes a Commie Superman, Futurama keeps voice actors, Captain Blood in space, Doctor Who uncut, Casper returns to comics, Superman & Wonder Woman get hitched and more!

That's right! More San Diego Comic-Con coverage. Jimmy sat on 2 round tables with the creative team behind Doctor Who and Torchwood. The 10th Doctor himself, David Tennant, was also in attendance to answer questions. There were about 7 other reporters asking questions, so there's some great stuff in there! Also, apologies for the sound troubles. Apparently, one or two of the reporters had their cell phones on that RANG during the interviews which caused interference. You will hear some buzzing on occasion. Couldn't be removed and no way to control. Sorry folks! But, hang in there for some good Doctor Who/Torchwood goodness!

Jimmy's back from his epic journey to San Diego Comic-Con. Joe stayed back home with the kids. Over 5 hours of recording to release and we do it all here! No, no. But, we do play interviews with Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, The Guild) and Olivia Munn (G4TV's Attack of the Show). We also get the tail end of a roundtable discussion with Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku for Dollhouse. We do some quick news headlines from the con including Doctor Who being recognized by Guinness Book of World Records, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies graphic novel, Avengers film line up, Justice League comic line up, Marvel gets rights to Marvelman, John Cassaday to direct Dollhouse episode, Eisner highlights and more! Jimmy gives his epic recap of the show babbling on and on about interviews and drinking or both. Of course, tons of name dropping. Joe curses Jimmy for all of the editing he will have to do now, but is glad he got some good coverage.

The boys talk the new Harry Potter flick (spoilers) and the Torchwood 5 day series (no spoilers), as well as some deserved Emmy nods. News includes a new Punisher Max team, PopCult forms, Gareb Shamus heats up the con wars, Warren Ellis at SDCC, a possible new Futurama cast, a Voltron movie and more.
