Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem, Ken, and Pat crack open their old Comic‑Con brainstorming notes and immediately remember why last year’s planning session required snacks, caffeine, and possibly a licensed therapist. What starts as a simple recap turns into a full‑blown archaeological dig through abandoned ideas, questionable pitches, and the kind of creative spirals only this trio can produce.Naturally, the tangents hit hard.The guys revisit the era when publishers tried to make models headlining comic books a thingm, a bold experiment that aged about as well as milk in a Florida summer. Then they detour into the equally cursed world of singers‑turned‑superheroes, including the unforgettable Nightcat, whose brief comic career remains a cautionary tale for anyone who has ever said “What if we gave this pop star a secret identity?”And because no Tangential Giants episode is complete without something truly unhinged, the crew dives into the global phenomenon of Batboy Photoshop, the bizarre, inexplicable, and somehow culturally immortal creature who refuses to leave the internet’s collective imagination.If you enjoy nostalgia, nonsense, and three grown adults trying to justify ideas they absolutely should not have written down, this episode is your happy place.#tangentialgiants #comiccon #ComicConBrainstorming #popculturepodcast #geekculture #nightcat #batboys #comicshistory #WeirdComics #MediaFails #NostalgiaNerds #podcasthumor #creativechaos #comicbookculture #FandomTalk

Tangential Giants gear up for their July 2025 Comic-Con panel with a mix of sharp insights and chaotic detours. Expect candid talk on how the comics industry still struggles with writing full female characters, irreverent tangents about X-rated Golden Girls t-shirts, and the kind of catchy jingles that once sold knockoff Transformers toys. Equal parts Comic-Con preview, pop culture critique, and toy nostalgia, this episode proves that the tangents are the real headline.#comiccon #comicbookculture #comicbookpodcast #butterflyeffect #chaostheory #goldengirls #toyculture #podcastlife #nerdculture

*Fast & Flurrious: The Cuban Human, Cypher’s Sky Sex Room, and Plot Holes You Could Drift Through*Kareem, Ken, and Pat are joined by guest J to review the first hour of *Fate of the Furious*, and things get turbocharged quickly. Dom’s Havana Street race introduces the concept of the “Cuban human,” a tiny, possibly metaphysical figure who somehow embodies the spirit of fast diplomacy. Cypher’s air palace comes equipped with a sex room that raises more questions than her hacking skills. And the director’s notes? They feel like they were written by two seven-year-olds who got hold of a box of crayons.In this episode, you’ll get:

• Furious plot holes wide enough to fit a tank
• Philosophical takes on miniature humans and their role in Cuban street culture
• A breakdown of Cypher’s mile-high kink bunker
• Tangents so wild they make Roman’s one-liners look like TED Talks

The Fast & Furious franchise isn’t just about NOS and neck-snapping physics anymore; it’s about shadowy cabals, hairstyle symbolism, and screenplay chaos. In this episode, we dive into the growing cabal of Forer enemies lurking behind the scenes (yes, the franchise now has its own Illuminati), unpack why Charlize Theron chose to rock twists as Cipher (hint: it’s deeper than fashion), and expose how The Rock and Vin Diesel allegedly scribbled last-minute script notes in crayon like two rival camp counselors rewriting the talent show.From submarine chases to salon choices, this is Fast 8 like you’ve never heard it before.#Fast8 #FateOfTheFurious #CharlizeTheron #VinDiesel #TheRock #FastAndFurious #Cipher #CubanNOS #FastFranchise #MoviePodcast #ActionMovies #ScreenwritingFails #TwistsAndTurns #FastSaga #FamilyForever #PodcastLife #FilmBreakdown #BehindTheScenes #MovieLore #YouTubePodcasts

In this episode of Tangential Giants, we’re not just serving up the usual chaos — oh no, we’ve brought in reinforcements! Special guest Bruce Molock Jr. joins us for an unforgettable deep dive into the cinematic world of Romeo Must Die and the powerhouse that is Delroy Lindo.

We kick things off by tracing Lindo’s illustrious journey from Shakespearean theater to the silver screen, where he’s captivated us all with his gravitas and sheer coolness. From Malcolm X to Crooklyn, Delroy Lindo has done it all—and we’ll tell you why he’s the epitome of acting greatness. (No spoilers, but there may be an impromptu tangent about Lindo’s unmatched ability to wear a fedora convincingly.)

But buckle up, folks, because things get hilariously wild when we dive into the movie:

🏈 The NFL’s ridiculous (and shady?) land-grabbing schemes. Trust us, Isaak O’Day is basically Jerry Jones with a better poker face.

🛡️ The world’s most incompetent bodyguards—seriously, how do these guys have jobs?

🪦 The untimely demise of nepo babies. Let’s just say nepotism means nothing when you’re in the middle of a kung fu crime war.

And with Brue Molock in the mix, you know we’ve got fresh insights, unfiltered laughs, and a few spicy hot takes you didn’t see coming. Who knew someone could analyze fight choreography and roast plot holes at the same time? Bravo, Brue, bravo. 👏
