Crosstawk

Welcome back to Crosstawk Comics! This episode, Karl and Gus return to finish up their discussion on The Life and Times of Jean Grey. Listen in as they talk about impractical Avengers uniforms, mysterious coccoons, time babies and even a clone or two!

Can't get enough? Well, you're in luck, because Crosstawk Comics is going to DOUBLE-PUBLISH in December. Since we've got five Fridays this month, we'll be back again on December 31st to bring you the very best of comics in 2010!

Hey, folks!

You might be wondering why there's no new episode of Crosstawk Sports in your feed. Well, unfortunately, while a new episode was recorded earlier in the day, there was a fatal crash during the editing process, and the raw audio was lost. It's a damn shame, but there's nothing that could be done. We'd never leave you high and dry, though, so instead of jibber-jabber on the Great American Pastimes, we'll be talking nonsense about some serious brews via the magic of Rough Draught!

On this episode, oddly enough, our good buddy Jesse Laier (from Crosstawk Sports) joins us to gab about Rogue's Morimoto Soba Ale, the suspciously titled Werewolf, Dogfish Head's Pangaea and the ever-wild Saison Dupont.

Stuffed with turkey? Digging into those leftover yams? Well, BOP's here to keep you company! It's a brand new month, and we've got a lot to talk about, starting with a long discussion on the new Harry Potter, and continuing on with I'm Not There, Winter's Bone, Jackass 3D, a defense of Bill Shatner's acting skills and even a love letter to the Disney classic, Captain EO!

Once we wrap that up, we get to our Movie of the Month: The Third Man. We all really dug the flick, and we had a great conversation about what makes it an awesome European noir film. Next month, we'll be watching Synecdoche, New York.

Crosstawk.com's taking the week off this week, but that doesn't mean we're not going to leave you with something to listen to! It's been quite a while since our last break, so it seems as good a time as any to give you another taste of the show that started it all, TAWK-112.

On this episode, Karl, Jon and Casper are joined by Tyler to talk about malleable matter, electric cars, weird simulation devices, and close things down with a discussion on our favorite websites.

Okie doke, folks. See you again on Tuesday for a brand new episode of Discover Music Project, and then again on Friday for Box Office Poison!

Crosstawk Sports returns with the latest and greatest in the world on the field! This week, Spencer and Ben are joined by an old voice from TAWK-112: Jesse Laier! After so long, it's positively awesome to see Jesse make his return to podcasting.

This episode, the boys are talking about some recent happenings in the NBA, some good ol' football (both NCAA and NFL) and close things down with a quick MLB postmortem.

Having said all of that, see you on Friday, folks!

From the mind of Mike Sklens comes Crosstawk.com's latest series: Hardcore Nerdography! Every episode, Mike, along with his girlfriend Amanda and their pal Dante, will shoot the shit about whatever happens to float their boat. That might come off as intentionally vague, but that's only because it is.

On the premiere episode, Mike, Amanda and Dante basically discuss everything under the sun, from parking tickets to Animal Crossing buffoonery to awkward pictures of children at Disneyworld. Truly, this podcast is the happiest place on Earth.

When you're done listening, be sure to send in all of your thoughts, questions and concerns to [email protected], follow us on Twitter (@crosstawk) and rate/review us on iTunes. Those of you who go through with that last bit will get an extra special prize: our undying affection. It might not be worth monies, but something something something!

For Episode 5, DMP returns with a brand new guest! This time, Jonny's joined by the NWR Newscast's own Andy Goergen, who teaches our venerable host a little what's-what about the music of Ben Folds.

Karl Teaches Kontinuity is dead! Long live Crosstawk Comics!

After recording Episode 2, Gus seemed like a perfect fit to the permanent co-host, and if it's a two-man project, it wouldn't be fair to just have Karl's name in the title. So we thought it over, and decided that going forward, our adventures in continuity would be flown under the banner of Crosstawk Comics.

Now, on to the actual subject at hand. We're going to be putting away the conversation on The Ages for the time being to explore the Life and Times of Jean Grey, the ever-dying (and re-appearing) X-Woman. This is the first part of a two-parter, but we do manage to track the major plot points up to the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga. Be sure to come back for Part 2 when we get into Madelyne Pryor, a mysterious coccoon and of course, XORN!

As always, send all of your questions and concerns to [email protected], follow us on Twitter (@crosstawk) and rate/review us on iTunes. And keep an eye on Crosstawk.com as we'll be adding some great new text features soon, not to mention a brand new Thoroughly Manly Musical.

Having said that, come back next week for the debut of a brand new series from the mind of Mike Sklens: Hardcore Nerdography!

Crosstawk Presents returns with a pilot for an upcoming Crosstawk.com series! From the minds of Spencer Darr and Ben Dunkel comes Crosstawk Sports, bringing you the latest and greatest in the world on the field. For their first episode, Spencer and Ben recap the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series (as well as some predictions as to how they'll do next year), and bring it home with an NBA Season Preview.

After listening, please send in all of your feedback - we'll be incoroporating your ideas when the show returns as a regular series. You can email us at [email protected], comment on the website or even tweet us (@crosstawk).

When you're done with that, be sure to head over to iTunes and rate/review us. We'd sure appreciate it. Having said that, enjoy Crosstawk Sports!
