Crosstawk

As 2010 comes to a close, Crosstawk bids farewell to a year of amazing comics! Gus and Karl return with their Top 5 issues/series for 2010, including Amazing Spider-Man, Daytripper, Justice League: Generation Lost, Sweet Tooth and more!

And with that, 2010 ends for Crosstawk.com! It was an incredible year, and I couldn't be happier with how the site and shows have grown. We've only just gotten started, though, and 2011 should prove even better!

The Tallahassee crew returns for more of the latest and greatest in the world on the field in this brand new episode of Crosstawk Sports. With Jesse unable to record, Rob once again stepped in to fill the void along with Spencer and Ben. The show starts off with some basketball discussion before settling in to some great NFL talk.

If you've got any suggestions for discussion topics, you can, as usual, send them on over to [email protected], alert us on Twitter (@crosstawk) or throw down in the comments section on the website.

With that said, see you on Friday for Crosstawk Comics.

Late for the holidays but early for 2011! After a slight delay, we've got a fresh episode of Box Office Poison for you with talk about TRON Legacy, Cyrus, Monsters (Inc.), Friends of God, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and more!

Jon and Karl return to drink and review more brews in this special holiday episode! Requiring yet another third chair, our good buddy Rob stepped in to assist in drinking the Sam Adams Holiday Pack, Rogue's Santa Private Reserve Ale and St. Bernardus Christmas Ale. We, of course, also took part in some drunk tales (a-woo-ooh!) to keep you entertained.

Have you got an idea for a drink we should try? Send it on over to [email protected], hit us up on Twitter (@crosstawk) or throw down in the comments section on the website.

Thanks for listening, guys, and come back on Tuesday for a new Discover Music Project, Wednesday for a BRAND NEW Crosstawk series and then again on Friday for the latest episode of Box Office Poison.

After some technical difficulties, the crew's back for more of the latest and greatest in the world on the field. Ben wasn't able to record in time, so our good buddy Rob jumped on the mic to assist Spencer and Jesse in bringing it home. With plenty to talk about, from Urban Meyer's resignation to some great NFL talk, this is an extra meaty show, and I know you'll enjoy it.

Speaking of technical difficulties, however, there is some bad news. The guys are all in their respective home towns for the holidays, and had to record off of the Skype call at the last minute, producing some pretty uneven sound quality. We apologize for any issues, and promise that Episode 4 is going to sound 100% better.

As always, if you've got any questions or comments Crosstawk Sports, you can send them on over to [email protected], hit us up on Twitter (@crosstawk) or throw down in the comments section on the website.

Thanks for stopping by, guys, and see you on Friday for Rough Draught!

Mike, Amanda and Dante return for yet another action-packed episode of Hardcore Nerdography! This time, the crew's talking everything from NASA finding new life to Kevin Smith's Batman comics to Dante's new "love life." It's a pile of fun, so you definitely don't want to miss it!

With all of that said, come back next week for Crosstawk Sports on Tuesday and a brand new Rough Draught on Friday!

The first season of The Walking Dead on AMC just wrapped up this past Sunday, and Karl and Gus are ready to talk about it! Having been anticipating the show for some time, they had differing thoughts on whether or not it lived up to the hype, and they've got more than a few opinions on how it should develop down the line.

If you've got anything to say about The Walking Dead, send 'em on over, either via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website.

With that said, see you on Friday for a new Hardcore Nerdography!
