It is the week of Thanksgiving! As we all prepare to over eat, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and nap while watching football while escaping the overwhelming family, join us as we are discussing Thanksgiving episodes from some of our favorite shows.

First things first however, we kick off with what we are watching such as Matt's continued obsession with Hallmark Christmas movies and Lauren watched Dune Prophecy on Max.


Then, what we have been reading such as The Rocketfellers from Ghost Machine and Image Comics, Batman and Robin Year One issue 2 from DC Comics, and Armoed from Clover Press.

We touch on a bit of pop-culture news and then get to our main topic!

Once upon time TV shows used to give us holiday specials and particularly Thanksgiving episodes. We figured we would share with you all some of our favorite from shows such as Friends, New Girl, Dexter (yes not a sitcom,) Smallville, and of Course the infamous Slapsgiving from How I Met Your Mother. (31 Minutes)

Gather round our table and share with us some of your favorites!

Happy New Comicbook Day everyone! 

We love supporting Indie Comic creators here as well and this episode we have Eddie Lema creator of End of Zed!

Synopsis:
Introducing "End of Zed""End of Zed" is a comic book project I've been developing for years, born from a screenplay and inspired by New York’s raw energy, its art, fashion, and music scenes. As an artist with over 25 years of experience, and as someone who lived through the golden era of graffiti, this project is my creative vision brought to life—a gritty, vibrant story that’s unlike anything out there.

80's action film lovers and 90's kids who grew up playing Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter this ones for you!

Alex from What's Your Spaghetti Policy Podcast joins us to discuss his campaign for issue #2 of Polar Destroyer! 

Synopisis:
The North Pole has been taken over by the Penguins. The Polar Bears have either been slaughtered or captured. Jack has been left for dead... or has he? The cliffhanger at the end of issue 1 shocked readers and left so many questions. What is the motive of the mysterious rescuer? Can he rebuild Jack? Can the penguins be stopped? What is their end game?

Polar Destroyer is the comic book series about Jack, the Polar Destroyer on his quest for revenge against the Penguin forces led by Oswalt and his crew of arctic soldiers. A mutinous uprising, led by the Penguins with their superior technology and nefarious experiments, succeeded at defeating Jack, or so it seems. Against all odds and from the brink of death, Jack must be rebuilt from the shadows to become a cybernetic killing machine fueled by rage and hell bent on revenge...a POLAR DESTROYER!

Written and created by Alex Osborne, this thrilling comic book series is a love letter to everything you loved about the 80's & 90's action movie and videogame genres! Pledge your support today and help Jack take back the North Pole.
