The Bright Side Comics Chat episodes

  • Issue #96: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
    🎒A very special episode this week for Issue #96 as John and DJ are joined by DJ's daughter Meg AND Dr Joe to talk Harry Potter.  They all give their opinions on the movie and the series as a whole.  They also get Dr Joe's expertise on the books and how they compare to the movies.  Meg actually found a similarity between the movie and The Bright Side Chat that is pretty interesting. They all had a lot of fun chatting and just hanging out.   
    You can find Dr Joe atTwitter: @drjoegilmore andTLTR (To Long Didn’t Read) Podcast

  • The Week in Comics: Dismantling DC?
    🎒Obviously the DC Layoffs are at the front of everyone's minds and John and DJ get into that with their thoughts and opinions but there was also some fun to be had as well.  News and rumors including X-Men, Spider-Man 3, The Witcher, Hulu Announcement, listener comments and a visit with an old friend.  All that and a whole bunch of books and lots of DC reading as Nudie and Pretzel dive back into the world of DC.
