September 01, 2024 Mr. K’s Super Show #60: Queen’s Crown Jewels (with Brian Linnen)
In this episode, Brian Linnen (Permanent Record Podcast) and me delve into the 1970s catalog of Queen, one of our favourite groups of all-time.

Listen as we discuss the albums from Queen's first decade. A decade where Queen not only found their sound, but refined it over a series of over the top classic albums that built the Queen legacy as we know it today. If you're Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon -- or any other time of the day, night, or week -- it's a deep dive into the catalog that only we can take.

We will rock you....or at least give you everything short of a sheer heart attack, darlings!

August 15, 2024 Back Issue Banter #13: Superman Vs. Spider-Man (1976)
In this episode, we take a look at the groundbreaking first company crossover by DC and Marvel, 1976's Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man. This oversized tabloid edition clocked in at well over 90 pages and was truly an epic!

We discuss all aspects of the delightfully over the top plot (t was the 70s, after all) and associated trivia, as these two heroic titans from two different companies (and universes) collide before putting their efforts towards vanquishing their super foes, Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus.

We also discuss the sequel, 1981's Superman and Spider-Man. How does it compare to the original? Listen to the podcast, true believers, and find out!

Hosted by Chris Karam and Brad Page.

August 01, 2024 Mr. K’s Super Show #59: Journey’s Odyssey (with Jeff Hogland)
In this episode, we chronicle one of the most successful American bands of all time, Journey.

Specifically, the period where Steve Perry took the reins as Journey's singer and frontman with 1978's Infinity, through their seeming 1986 finale, Raised On Radio, with one final reprise a decade later with 1996's Trial By Fire.

We go through the group's history, with an album-by-album discussion. Returning guest Jeff Hogland offers his unique insights into these classic albums, albums that helped propel Journey from a middling progressive band with a cult following, to pop superstars whose music resonates to this day, with evergreens such as "Don't Stop Believin'," among many others.

Come with us as we embark on new frontiers as we chart Journey's evolution.

July 15, 2024 Back Issue Banter #12: Captain America & The Falcon (1972)
A nation in turmoil! A hero questioning his relevance in an age where being an American is being redefined! The values of a nation coming under fire!

Sound familiar?

In this episode, we examine Captain America and The Falcon #153-156, in which not only do Cap and his sidekick The Falcon face off against the usual super-foes, but they also come up against...Captain America and Bucky from the 1950s!

If you think that sounds bizarre, just wait until you hear how these issues -- no pun intended -- get resolved. We had lots of fun examining and re-living Marvel during the swingin' seventies! As we always do.

July 01, 2024 Mr. K’s Super Show #58: Police Blotter (with Pete Braidis)
This time, we're talking about one of the biggest bands of the '80s and of all-time, The Police!

Author Pete Braidis discusses his book, The Police: On Track, as we delve into the five studio albums released by this legendary band.

It's not "just the facts" as we also discuss the musical aspects of these albums and songs. Pete spent a couple of years researching and writing his book, and it shows. We had a great time delving into Police matters and also had some great sidetracks along the way.e

But what else is new, right...?

Pete's book, The Police: On Track is available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Police-every-album-song-Track/dp/1789521580/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=2JHHAV537WLNZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ztwkniI-wssFhjgThTP1jbF7wzu4gp9mOO0zU6F6YprenLOJBBAXTfy1nwmVZYT-.7Y0JJ_zxfzxbzLTEExStDF1Jh1FeZuXpJF6jQtr3pIQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=pete+braidis+the+police&qid=1719791819&s=books&sprefix=pete+braidis+the+police%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1-fkmr0

June 15, 2024 Back Issue Banter #11: The Man Of Steel (1986)
In 1986, DC Comics did something pretty radical for that time. -- they rebooted Superman. In the wake of the landmark mini-series Crisis On Infinite Earths, DC was relaunching its universe and they went back to the hero that started it all for them.

This time, fan favorite writer and artist John Byrne was lured from Marvel Comics to redefine DC's flagship hero for a new generation. And Byrne wasted no time putting his stamp on the classic hero.

We will examine The Man Of Steel issues #1 - 6, the mini-series that served as the launching pad, and talk about Byrne's reimagining of Superman and his supporting cast. Some of the changes were considered very different, and yet, somehow, Superman remained Superman. But with a fresh injection of creativity that allowed readers a new jumping on point that paved the way for a very successful new direction for the character and his monthly books going forward.

Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam.

June 01, 2024 Mr. K’s Super Show #57: Sam Halen (with Alex Alt)
It's 5150 time, y'all!

This episode, Alex Alt (Slydog Music Cast) and me delve into the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen. While it's an era that divides some fans, it's also an era that produced some great, enduring music and we had a lot of fun going into the band's four studio albums as well as their one "live" album.

Although a lot of people call them "Van Hagar,"we're gonna call 'em "Sam Halen." Whatever you call them, ultimately it's still Van Halen, and this was a very exciting and productive time for the band. At the core of it was Eddie Van Halen, who was still blazing away through some of the band's most successful music.

We had fun talking about Sam Halen and we hope you'll have fun listening to this episode.

May 15, 2024 Back Issue Banter #10: Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD (1968)
Once again, we go back to the Marvel age of comics, a swingin' time when the cold war was hot and spies were everywhere...even Marvel Comics! We look at the comics Strange Tales #166 & 167 and Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD #1-3, & 5.

Nick Fury, once the leader of a group of commandos during World War II, had been refashioned as a 1960s spy as the leader of an organization named S.H.I.E.L.D. Shepherding this change was a young writer / artist named Jim Steranko, who not only took the character into the modern day '60s, but updated the art style as well.

The original Nick Fury wasn't psychedelic, but the art style certainly was and we had fun discussing Marvel's foray into cold war adventures that, while of their time, are a fun romp through the tropes of late '60s storytelling. And while this is serious stuff, it's a lot of fun as well. As comics should be.

Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam.

May 01, 2024 Mr. K’s Super Show #56: Mr. Steely Dan (with Jeff Harris)
In this episode, guest co-host Jeff Harris (Behind The Grooves) and me explore the musical enigma known as Steely Dan! And for the record, Steely Dan is a group, not just one guy.

A group that defies easy categorization, as they mix rock, jazz, pop, funk, and lyrics that are sometimes inscrutable, but always interesting. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were two friends who met in college and set about writing songs that were an arty blend of their many musical and literary influences.

We explore the original era of Steely Dan, spanning 1972-1980. We delve into each album, the songs, the stories, the many musicians who helped Becker and Fagen realize their esoteric musical visions and ultimately, why we love these albums so much. We try and shed some light on what Steely Dan was all about.

April 15, 2024 Back Issue Banter #9: Conan The Barbarian (1970)
We take a soujourn to the Hyborian age of sword and sorcery with a young barbarian known as...Conan!

In this episode, we take a look at Conan's comic roots, beginning in 1970 with the classic Conan The Barbarian series written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith. We not only talk about the stories and art, but also how Marvel Comics came to be the first publisher to adapt the classic character by Robert E. Howard into comics!

Know, oh princes and princesses, that between the years of 1970 - 1973, the classic era of Conan comics was upon us, and it paved the way for other heroes of sword and sorcery and that it begat these enduring works.

Fetch yourself a flagon of good ale and listen as we analyze and discuss this classic era of everyone's favorite rogue...Conan! By Crom, you'll have a good time!
