A lonely immortal builds a sexbot and unleashes Kirk on her ("Requiem for Methuselah"), then space hippies piss everyone off ("The Way to Eden"). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/edge

First, Mike takes a look at Batman #33 and Doctor Strange #26. Specifically he asks one question: "Are these good jumping-on points?" Then Dan and Will are back for more untitled fun as they take a look at the animated adventures of Flash Gordon, covering The New Adventures of Flash Gordon, Defenders of the Earth, and 1996's Flash Gordon. Also: Why Will should be in charge of King Features Syndicated Cinematic Universe. (Note: Mike said Joëlle Jones colored Batman #33. This is an error. Jordie Bellaire colored the issue.)

A mere three months before the first Blade movie changed the course of comic book cinema, Fox premiered Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD. Thanks to an odd combination of gritty cinematography and campy acting choices, Dan and Mike have much to say about this mixed bag. Before all that, however, Mike promotes the renewed Earth-2.net Patreon page: patreon.com/earth_2. If you have the means, please consider supporting The Show by becoming a monthly patron.

Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid doesn't have as much fun as the title implies in his review of The Deadly Bees. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. wants more in his review of Small Town Killers.

In this edition of The 'Cade, covering Daredevil #3, you'll believe a portly guy in a cape can fly as Daredevil faces off against The Sinister Owl! Plus: man-on-ape action!

This week, death does a lot of stuff. Some good, some horrible. First up, death stalks the Red Light District and the canals of Amsterdam as Darryll and Desmond review Amsterdamned. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. tries to get a handle on what death does in a double feature of the giallos Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight. Before I get to the music, I also wanted to say that death also happened to pull Tom Petty away from us this week. RIP Tom Petty. Songs included: "Joy Through Death" by Grave Pleasures, "Canals in the City" by Year of the Flood, "Strutter" by KISS, "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest, and "Supernatural Radio" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.

We have come to one of the greatest subtitled major Pay-Per-Views of all time: Summerslam: Hart & Soul. Come for the continued dominance of Los Boricuas in the Gang Warz, stay for the supremely performed final minutes of the Bret Hart v Undertaker, then get kind of awkward as we go over the terrible aftermath of the Owen Hart v Steve Austin Intercontinental Championship clash.

Mike gushes over a long-awaited Superman omnibus as he reads through the October Previews.

This month sees Hey, an Actor! profile one of Hollywood's topmost A-listers from the end of the 20th century: Mel Gibson. The Brothers Wilson combine to chart the rise, fall, and partial resurgence of one of their most controversial subjects to date, with a particularly lengthy discussion about career resurrection and redemption. And as this is also a movie podcast in part, the episode covers Gibson's American breakthrough hit Lethal Weapon, the baffling pinnacle of his career in Braveheart, and the almost perversely insightful career doldrums movie The Beaver. (No sniggering at the back!) There's also some drunken insight into Lethal Weapon from The Orgs, whilst Ian dusts off his history hat to rip Braveheart a new one in terms of historical accuracy and why it is emblematic of today's post-truth society.

This week, hold onto your hats because we're altering the format slightly! First, Desmond kicks off the show by doing a solo review on the brand-new entry in the Chucky universe: Cult of Chucky. Listen close because, at the end of the review, Des draws the winner for our Blu-ray giveaway. Then, Desmond is joined by Duane to attend Circus Kane. Afterwards, Devil Dinosaur Jr. spends a night in Ghosthouse. There are a bevy of tunes to entertain you as well: "Playing with Dolls" by Slayer, "Psycho Circus" by KISS, "Ghost Story" by Brocas Helm, and "Toy" by Melvins.
