Living Between Wednesdays

Holy smokes, you guys. Rachelle and Dave saw Endgame (in Dave's case, twice) and they loved it and have lots to say about it.

This episode is full of spoilers, so don't listen if you haven't seen Endgame yet. But since the movie made over a billion dollars in the first weekend, most of you probably have.

This will be the last episode for awhile as Rachelle and Dave both work on their own creative projects. The next episode will probably be when Spider-Man: Far From Home opens.

DC's latest superhero movie, Shazam!, hit theatres this week. Dave watched all of it, Rachelle had to leave about half an hour into it because her son was terrified. To make up for it, Rachelle and Dave watched the 1980 camp extravaganza, Flash Gordon. It was fun.

Last week Rachelle and Dave talked about some of the game changing ideas that comic book writers brought to the table. This week they are talking about the opposite of that: big ideas that did basically nothing.

Also in this episode: a new (boring) comic book imprint is launched by Axel Alonso, Bill Jemas and some other dudes; very positive early reviews for SHAZAM, and Rachelle's new book is out!

This week Rachelle and Dave are talking about the game changing ideas that impacted and reshaped the DC and Marvel universes. Ideas like the multiverse and the Rainbow Lanterns. Stuff like that.

Also in this episode: a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame dropped, James Gunn is back on Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and Frank Miller and John Romita Jr's Superman: Year One is apparently happening.

Dave and Rachelle saw Captain Marvel, and they have thoughts about it!

Also in this episode: Rachelle celebrated Bucky Barnes' birthday by watching Civil War, Dave watched Grease 2 for no reason other than it rules, and Rachelle reviews the first book releases from DC Zoom and DC Ink.

Rachelle and Dave are getting really sick of winter in Nova Scotia, so they are talking about some of their favourite comic book fictional locations this week.

Also in this episode: some Oscar talk, Copra moves to Image Comics, and Rachelle recommends the graphic novel Bloom by Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau.

This week Rachelle and Dave talk about their favourite teenage superheroes. Topics include: teams of teen superheroes, solo teen superheroes, who's good at writing superheroes, and what not to do when writing teen superheroes.

Rachelle is away this week but Dave more than makes up for it with an interview with Michel Fiffe! They discuss Copra, Zegas, Bloodstrike, and his new miniseries, G.I. Joe: Sierra Muerte!

Dave and Rachelle gave into peer pressure this week and watched Venom, which is an actual movie that came out last year. And you know what? It was not bad. Warning: this episode is full of Venom spoilers.

Also in this episode: award attention for Black Panther, Liefeld leaves Netflix, and a look at the first releases from TKO Studios.

This week Rachelle and Dave are reminiscing about their first times meeting a real live comic book creator. Also in this episode: thoughts on the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, George Perez's retirement, and Rob Liefeld's latest creation, Major X.
