Podicus Wrecks

In this week's episode, we're discussing Assassin's Creed, games and movie. That also leads us to a discussion on why we think movie adaptations of video games are frequently not critically and/or financially successful. Revanche is featured in this week's "Better Know an X-Man."

With Summer quickly approaching, so too is the Summer movie season. So in this episode, we are highlighting some movies we're looking forward to, and some that we can't actually believe are being made in release. Also, this installment of "Better Know an X-Man" features Slipstream.

In week's episode, Jacob sits J.R. and Anthony down to explain why 90's-era X-Men crossovers were so awful using the one that cost Wolverine his metal and Magneto his brain, FATAL ATTRACTIONS! There are deaths! There are returns! There are betrayals! There are explosions! By the end of this podcast, you will know that the story probably wasn't as good as you thought it was.

In this week's episode in anticipation for International Tabletop Day, J. R., Anthony, and Scotty have more tales of happiness and anger while playing tabletop games. Those games include Scythe, Cavern Tavern, and Dead of Winter. Also, Jacob gives the awkward tale of Stacy X, in this week's "Better Know an X-man."

In this week's episode of Podicus Wrecks, we're discussing Marvels, by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. Why would we discuss a 23 year-old mini-series, you ask? Well, because Anthony has never read it, and we felt strongly that this was a must-read series. It is just a fantastic look at the beginnings of the Marvel Universe through the eyes of a photographer. Also included in this episode, Jacob attempts to convince us to play Persona 5 and Changeling is featured in this week's "Better Know an X-Man."

In this episode, Anthony and J. R. have a somewhat random group of topics. They are talking about some things they like and dislike regarding movies and tv shows. Sometimes those opinions follow the norms, sometimes they don't. They also discuss our thoughts regarding blog entries we right. And Jacob's "Better Know an X-Man" features the Stepford Cuckoos.

A long time ago, we had pro wrestling blog named The 1/8th Nelson. With it being Wrestlemaia week, we thought it would be fun to get the group together and talk about our favorite Wrestlemania moments and our thoughts on the card for Wrestlemania 33. And for fun, there's also another "Better Know an X-Man" featuring Ink.
