Want to hear two people ramble about college football? Well then, you're in luck. Anthony and I have another bet about who can predict the most correct games, so here we are predicting games. But not only are there predictions, there are also tirades about the playoff selections, Baker Mayfield, and the Tennessee fiasco.

J. R. is flying solo for most of this episode, so you get some of his opinions on the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, Brian Michael Bendis leaving Marvel to go to DC, and Doomsday Clock #1. Jacob drops by for a Better Know an X-Man, featuring Thunderbird 3. Then J. R. wraps up by summarizing the first Fables story, "Legends in Exile."

This week, Anthony and Scotty join J. R. to discuss their experiences playing the table top games Rayguns & Rocketships and Betrayal at Baulder's Gate. There are also a spoiler filled discussion regarding Justice League and Murder On the Orient Express.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Podicus Wrecks. To celebrate this time, we would like to share what we are thankful for, as well as some Thanksgiving memories.

With Justice League coming out this weekend, we thought we would discuss a Justice League story. We picked Mark Waid's Tower of Babel. This story appeared in JLA 43-46, with the trade including some other issues, including a weird story about sentient bacteria. So, enjoy this story that may have cemented the calculating, distrusting Batman.

This week, Anthony and J. R. are talking about upcoming movies they are interested in, premiering between Nov. 2017 and April 2018. They start with their thoughts on Thor: Ragnarok, and continue with their thoughts heading into Justice League, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Black Panther, and others. Jacob then pops in to offer his take on the trailer for The New Mutants. Casey then has his minute recaps of the "The Damned" and "Monsters" episodes of The Walking Dead. Finally being wrapped up with some thoughts on Super Mario Odyssey and news from Blizzcon.

With Halloween approaching, I thought we should have a couple Halloween-centric episodes. So first, Scotty joins me to discuss our experiences playing Until Dawn. This is a horror movie inspired game, centered around story decisions and quick time events. It is a spoiler-filled discussion, as we not only go into our mindset while playing this game, but also the repercussions of our actions. Casey then wraps up the episode with his minute recap of the Season 8 premier of The Walking Dead, "Mercy."

It's part 3 of our look back at the death and return of Superman. This week, it's all about the reign of the Supermen and the return of Superman. Find out who steps up to fill in for Superman. Does some shady fellow with questionable hair try to be Lois' rebound? Are any of the 4 new Superman the actual Superman? What role does Coast City have to play in all of this? Find this and more in this week's episode.

Our trek through the death and return of Superman continues with "World Without a Superman." You may know this a "Funeral for a Friend." How does Metropolis, nay the World, cope with the death of Superman? How does Lex Luthor feel about the death of his arch enemy? Will Lois Lane punch someone when they say that Clark Kent is bound to turn up? Is Turpin actually a freakish monster? Seriously, what is up with the Newsboys?

With the 25th anniversary of "The Death of Superman" story line approaching, we thought we would share our thoughts on that event. Find out what happens when a character created solely to kill Superman fights Superman. Does a JLA that includes Bloodwynd and Guy Gardner stand a chance against Doomsday? Who is Lex Luthor Jr. and why does he have red hair? Is there a correct way to kill characters? How should big story points be marketed? What in the world is going on with the DC movies? Those questions and more are answered within this episode.
