Agent Codenames: Old Dude; Diabolu Frank
Assignment: Father & Son Spy-Fi Podcast
Mission: An overview of the 1961-1969 British television series The Avengers starring Patrick Macnee as the dapper bowler’d spy John Steed and his various (mostly female) partners with an emphasis on Honor Blackman’s Cathy Gale (who we must never call by character name in the episode) and Emma Peel (unnamed actress.) While the episode is ostensibly centered on the second episode of the third series, “The Undertakers,” shake any pursuers through lengthy tangents on Beatles movies, Dr. Who, lowbrow sex comedies (“The Yakety Sax” maneuver) and long forgotten children’s daytime shows that cannot be located even by Google.

Frank begins a new(ish) solo(ish) podcast that's basically DC Bloodlines but with non-DC/Marvel/Image super-heroes. First up is the African-American collective Ania (Ah-Knee-Ah, despite repeated mispronunciations on the episode,) the Milestone Media of the indie comics scene (but they would not appreciate that description!)

Copious archival interview material spotlights Omega 7 Comics' Alonzo Washington & Tony Jappa on Original Man, Omega Man, Darkforce & The Mighty Ace; Africa Rising's Eric Griffin on Ebony Warrior; Dark Zulu Lies Comics' Nabile Hage on Zwanna, Son of Zulu; and U.P. Comics' Roosevelt Pitt Jr. on Purge; plus Afrocentric Comic Books' Heru, Son of Ausar by Roger Barnes.

Spawn #14 & Wetworks Ashcan (1992)
Listener Discretion Advised

Spawn #14
by Todd McFarlane

“Myths” Part 1
Dedicated To: Jim Salicrup

It was I! …Humble little ol’ VIOLATOR! …Now now, boys. I gave you the courtesy of hearing about your heroes. I ask only for a few moments of your time as I tell you about my adventures… Over 800 years ago…

I hope Chief Banks is dying of an ulcer! We shoved it right up his rear! …The investigating board didn’t know anything about him. With us cleared, they’re antsy to find out what really happened.

How could I be so stupid. I’ve let anger dictate my actions. Chapel now knows I’m alive…

Rated-imMATURE – Naughty Language and Spoilers.

Our Universal Studios Classic Monsters trilogy of podcasts concludes as Pekita Trotamundos rejoins Frank, Count Drunkula, Fry-Hole, and Mister Fixit to brainstorm a path to success for the shared cinematic Dark Universe of horror. PG-13 or hard R? Fidelity or Bold New Direction? Stick with movies or multi-platform? Bring up the curtain or put down the coffin? Also, we finally remember that Van Helsing happened…
