The fantasy genre can be a repository for the best in culture, celebrating diversity and joy. Or it can be a bunch of fart jokes and mayhem. This week, Josh, Ora, and contest winner Jessica talk about Rat Queens and Skullkickers, two modern Image books full of fantasy nonsense. Listen in and hear three theoretical adults talking about hobbits and wizards and shit. Theme: Chopin’s Nocturrnes, Op. 9 no. 2, performed by Frank Levy.0101

Join as as Ora drags us kicking and screaming into the world of zzzzzzzz… I mean, comic business meetings.

Vigilantism and the morality of self defense are two important topics in the modern world. In this episode, Josh, Ora, and Archies expert Shane do everything possible to avoid talking about them in depth when discussing the Punisher, both the Marvel Knight Welcome Back Frank arc and the first Complete of Punisher Max. Instead, you’ll hear about Irish mixed drink politics, pedantry (which is always Josh’s subject), and a very special prediction for Spider Man: Homecoming. Theme: Chopin’s Nocturnes, Op. 9 no. 2, performed by Frank Levy.

It’s another GNN!

Listen in as Josh and Ora consider the early short films of the Edison company and the Lumiere brothers, as well as the art-terror classic Un Chien Andalou, and then make a bunch of fart noises. Music: ‘Night of Dizzy Spells’ by Eric Skiff.
