  • Movie Recap: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    Matt, Brett, and two friends of the podcast watched “Amazing Spider-Man
    2” on Thursday night and man oh man did they all have thoughts about it!
    In between a lot of soul-searching, the gang does come up with some
    things they liked about the film, and then just had a good old time
    discussing some of the film’s more interesting choices.
    You can hear Katey Healy-Wurzburg on previous episodes where we
    discussed Spider-Man’s many origin stories, as well as our “The
    Amazing Spider-Man” street review. You can hear Kevin Hines
    again on our 100th episode, as well as on our Amazing
    Spider-Panel (which actually ties in quite nicely to this episode).
    You can also check out surprise podcast guest Mike Lawrence
    @TheMikeLawrence on Twitter and on his own podcast, Nerd of
    Mouth.

  • Dave Bluvband / You Can't Always Go To Steve Ditko
    This week’s chat episode guest is our dear ol’ buddy Dave Bluvband. You
    may recognize Mr. Bluvband from his work on public access sensation
    The Chris Gethard Show, where he appears as The Human Fish. In
    this free-flowing talk-a-palooza, we discuss Dave’s love of Silver Age
    Marvel, his comic shop habits when traveling across the country, and
    some of his comic-book based comedy exploits.

  • Ben Ragheb / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #5-8 (1989-1990)
    Producer Ben fills in for Matt this week as the podcast heads both
    underground and into an intergalactic wrestling circuit. Brett and Ben’s
    childhood — and adulthood — Turtle fandom shines through in this
    dissection of the comics based on and inspired by the 1987 cartoon
    series. Would these comics have given Brett and Ben’s kid selves their
    desperately needed Turtle Fix?

  • Eight In The Morning Drinking Bottles Of Wine
    Spring has arrived! Matt and Brett got up super early to record this one

    Wildman’s tenure on G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Peter David’s
    Incredible Hulk, Marvel Unlimited, John Romita Jr. on Superman,
    action figures, and much, much more, all before their morning coffee! Or
    at least Matt’s morning coffee. Brett doesn’t drink coffee.

    Winter Soldier reaction/discussion episode, our episode reading

  • Glenn Boozan, Mark Ginocchio, Kevin Hines / The Amazing Spider-Panel
    Matt and Brett are joined by two Spider-Man aficionados — Kevin Hines
    (UCB) and Mark Ginocchio (Chasing Amazing) — to discuss a question that
    comedian Glenn Boozan has about the nature of heroism: is vulnerability
    really a hero’s greatest strength? This Amazing Spider-Panel dives deep
    into some of Spider-Man’s biggest themes in order to answer that
    multi-layered query.
    Glenn Boozan is a comedian at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
    in New York City. Her show, This Is Going To Hurt is running
    right now! Kevin Hines can be seen weekly with his improv team The
    Curfew. He also appeared on our 100th episode. Mark Ginocchio
    is a comic book journalist who writes “Gimmick or Good” for CBR.
    You can follow his quest to own every issue of Amazing Spider-Man at
    Chasing Amazing, and listen to his podcast, Superior
    Spider-Talk.
    Next week on the show, we will be reading Rat Queens #1-5 from Image
    Comics by Kurtis J. Wiebe and Roc Upchurch. You can purchase the series
    digitally on Comixology.

  • BONUS: X-Men Movie Xcutioners Song Commentary Track
    Bonus time! Brett had to show Matt the X-Men fanmade movie that blew his
    mind, and since the video is totally silent, the guys decided to just
    talk over it. So check out the article over on io9, which sums up
    the (no sarcasm here) masterpiece and includes a few GIFs, and then hit
    play on the video right when we do for a totally new M&BLC
    experience! This jam is worth watching.
    When you’re done with this, you should check out the episode where we
    read the “X-Cutioner’s Song” storyline with Pat Loika!
