Debut Buddies

Okay, okay... so we couldn't get the whole FIRST BARBARA WALTERS SPECIAL, and we ended up mostly talking about Barbara Walters' life, career, interview style, and impact on media and culture. If it bothers you, give us 5 stars and request a formal interview where we can eat hot wings and you can grill us with hard-hitting questions. You're gonna learn some cool stuff about an important woman in U.S. broadcast history either way! Plus, Mouthgarf and I See What You Did There!

Webster's defines superhero as a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also: an exceptionally skillful or successful person. Guest Mike Gravagno (Movie of the Year, The Superhero Show Show) helps us discover the First Superhero, explore the concept of comic canon, and delve into the many mighty champions of ink, pen, and silver screen! You want some Captain America? We got it. You want some Batman? We got it! You want some Man-Man? Wait for I See What You Did There. We definitely feel super on this episode, even if we're not exceptionally skillful or successful!

We saw the Sein, and it opened up our eyes. It also opened up our mouths and a whole bunch of talking came out!

On this episode we talk about the First Computer Virus, a little fella called Creeper that just creeped from one computer to another on a network in 1971... Plus, we discuss other viruses, virus protection, memetic/viral ideas, and AI... perhaps the ultimate self-driven, self-propagating program that's gonna do more than just creep. Then we dig into the Mouthgarf Report, play some more I See What You Did There, and laugh nervously as we're knowingly observed by our data-collecting overlords-to-be.
