Pick of the Week #771 – Wonder Woman #770

The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.

It's time for that G.O.S.H.* feeling, as the onslaught of beautifully crafted comics wash over us just in time for our weekly comic book/self-care/therapy hour (and change) show. Conor manages to swing a couple shows together and we're back on track. Will they get pizza right in comics this week? You know we'll explore it.

This month, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick are joined by their original Pick of the Week co-host Ron Richards to discuss…

What We’ve Been Enjoying:
00:01:06 – Ron and Josh have been watching Shōgun and Manhunt. (And Josh just started Franklin.)
00:10:26 – Josh finally watched Baby Driver.
00:13:47 – Conor went to the revival theater see Holiday and watched the finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The “What Should We Watch Next?” Challenge:

Review:

SPOILERS ABOVE!
What’s a Mediasplode? It’s a monthly special edition show in which we talk about what we are enjoying in media outside of the realm of comic books. It’s like our All Media Year End Round-Up but in a shorter, monthly format.

Mediasplode #46 – Dune: Part Two and the What Should We Watch Next Challenge

Conor Kilpatrick’s back! Again! This week Josh Flanagan thinks they won’t have enough to talk about in the listener mail segment but you’d think after all of these years he’d know better. Plus, there was a major flukey technical screw-up that nearly derailed the show near the end but through the magic of editing you won’t hear it. But they will always remember it.

Left alone, Josh takes the wheel, and goes a little bit mad. So many forgotten details, and lessons given, but in the end, he still manages to go long with the show. He cannot help but speak. Conor even makes a guest appearance. Sort of.
