Pop Culture Affidavit – Two True Freaks

In the tenth episode of Origin Story, I head on over to Marvel’s Distinguished Competition to check out an early FCTC-era Superman story with Adventures of Superman #428. I review the comic, gush about Jerry Ordway’s art (because you have to), ship Clark Kent and Cat Grant, and reveal that I didn’t realize when I was nine years old that the hostage on the cover of the comic was actually a guy (sorry Jerry–both of you). Also, I talk about how I remember buying this comic, which includes a story that will embarrass my sister … which is always a bonus.

So no one told you this podcast was gonna be this way … although someone told me and Stella when we sat down to dinner to talk about the iconic 1990s sitcom Friends. We spend a couple of hours talking about the show, its characters, and our favorite moments. Plus, there are tons of clips for your ears and Stella sings “Smelly Cat.” Repeatedly. But don’t worry, dear listener, because we’ll be there for you when the rain starts to pour.

Okay, I’ll stop.

In the ninth episode of Origin Story, I go back to The Transformers with issue #28 of the series, which is the return of a recurring villain named The Mechanic. Plus, I take a moment to talk about movies that were out at this point in 1987, especially the Sylvester Stallone “classic,” Over the Top.

In the eighth episode of Origin Story, I delve into my first of several regular series G.I. Joe comics from 1987, starting with issue #59, where Cobra Commander, Fred, and Raptor take on a convoy. Plus, I talk about sales tax. Yes, sales tax.Please dont forget to leave feedback at the Pop Culture Affidavit Facebook page and check out Pop Culture Affidavit for the show notes.

For the past 75 years, she’s been a hero and role model, and this summer she is getting her own feature film. I’m talking, of course, about Wonder Woman. To honor the mighty Amazon, I’m taking a look at two series entitled The Legend of Wonder Woman. The first, from 1986, is by Kurt Busiek and Trina Robbins and takes place right after Crisis on Infinite Earths, closing the door on the pre-Crisis incarnation of Diana while opening the door for the landmark George Perez run. The second, from 2016, is by Renae De Liz and Ray Dillon, and is an all-ages, out-of-continuity retelling of WW’s origin story.
