KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE. RAIDING IS THE OTHER HALF!

G.I. JOE and LARA CROFT meet for THE FIRST TIME EVER in an all-new limited series from superstars KYLE HIGGINS (RADIANT BLACK) and ELENA CASAGRANDE (Black Widow) that reveals the classified connection between these pop culture icons.

Lara Croft has explored some of the most dangerous locations on Earth, but nothing as treacherous as Cobra Island.

For this adventure, she’ll need the help of her old acquaintance, Shipwreck, and several squads of Joes to mount a dangerous expedition into the heart of the island to recover a treasure that’s been hidden there for decades. One that Destro and Baroness will do anything to get their hands on first...

Welcome to Cape Fear Chronicles on the Needless Things Podcast!

In the coming months we'll be revisiting the various iterations of Cape Fear, as well as some of its impact on pop culture, as well as a full review of the new Apple TV miniseries.

In 1991 Martin Scorsese unleashed a new vision of Cape Fear on moviegoing audiences. Robert DeNiro's Max Cady was a new kind of villain and the Bowden family were much different from the vanilla archetypes of 1962.

Listen in as Dave and Mike Gordon discuss this landmark film and its impact!

It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Mike Gordon joins Dave to share thoughts about the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Spider-Man Brand New Day!
