RetConversations

Leia and Josh are joined by frequent guest Jesse to discuss Ultimatum! LOTS of decapitations, Leia absolutely hates it here and why every single character was screwed up in the Ultimate Universe. Also, who has quit the show the most?

Josh and Leia are joined by new guest Tim Hardwick to discuss Madame Web! More of a breakdown of the character and why she got her own movie (tl;dr - we have no idea). Some highlights include talking about Black Tom, the tiny Looney Tunes dog of Marvel, Jessica Jones and Paul Rudd getting it on and Josh gets personally offended when part of One More Day is blatantly laid out before him. 

Leia and Josh are joined by Josh's Straight Up Dog Talk co-host, Emily Breslin to discuss Tom King's 7th graphic novel in his amazing run, Batman: The Wedding! We talk a lot of Booster Gold, romance in comics and why a lot of people were upset at this ending!

Josh and Leia are joined by almost-newlyweds David and Kristy Harnois to discuss Gail Simone's Jessica Jones book - The Variants! Josh goes a little Jessica crazy (he's a big fan) as they play within the multiverse! Get ready for a show full of humor, caffeine and Morning Blush!

Leia and Josh go off the RAILS with special guest Patrick Stout Garrity. Josh read the wrong book so he's auditing the class today! Bucky Barnes adopts a child and hilarity ensues. Leia's knowledge of Spider-Man villains is brought to a reckoning. And we discuss the finer points of doors and Bucky's hatred of them.

In this very special cut of RetConversations, Leia and Josh talk with guest Josh Lawrence about MAUS and book banning in the United States. This cut is meant for grades 9 and up and discretion is advised by the teacher. 

On this very special episode, Leia and Josh welcome new guest Josh Lawrence to discuss MAUS. This episode is different from our regular format: less jokes, a lot more deference and, of course, discussions about the Holocaust and book banning.

This is the regular edition, please look on this feed if you would prefer the Classroom Edition for teachers dealing with the subjects of the Holocaust or book banning.

WELCOME TO EPISODE 50! 

Josh and Leia are joined by first-time guest Sarah Kennedy to discuss one of her favorite storylines - Annihilation! We work a little differently than normal to talk a lot of Space Marvel, nu-metal and Drax's Heartbreak Kid phase. 

We are back with part 2. Leia and Josh are joined by special guests Dawn Baldwin and Jennifer Howland to finish out this story, answering the age-old question: how bad can time travel really be? The answer: bad enough Dawn apologizes profusely by the end for picking this story! Tune in now!

Leia and Josh are joined by special guests Dawn Baldwin and auditing GN partner, Jennifer Howland to talk about the 2013 comic Age of Ultron. In something that was meant to be a joke, this first part discusses the movie's impact on the MCU before diving into a world of villains with stupid names, white Nick Fury and time travel. Trust me, this was Leia's favorite.
