The Bright Side Comics Chat

This week John is on a little "vacation" so DJ is lucky to be joined by Dr. Joe for what is a fantastic Comic Book Store conversation.  Dr. Joe fills in seamlessly as he and DJ just chat away about the state of movies in now 2021, Harry Potter rumors, Monsters at Work and a bunch of other news items.  Also a fun Future State conversation (time stamp below) as well as plenty of Spoiler Free Wanda Vision AND Spoiler filled Wanda Vision at the end of the show.  So don't waste any more time, there's plenty to get to in the store...

Of course John and DJ talk WandaVision this week, both Spoiler free and spoilers at the end, but don't let the title fool you.  There's a lot of comics book talk, two great books this week in Checkout and lots of fun conversation about the news of the week.  And, AND a little "Tunnel of Despair" talk that frankly DJ wasn't prepared for.  Guess he needs to do better show prep?Check all that out and more...

🎒John and DJ hang out at Arkham Comics and Games yet AGAIN to chat about the latest Netflix series Cobra Kai Season 3.  Many questions asked and few actually get answered.  Is this show any good?  What is it really about? Why are we even watching it?  Step into the store and hang out with the boys to find out answers those questions and more.

🎒Great Googly Moogly what a show!  John and DJ thought they had a short show on their hands this week and boy did they go off on some tangents and really have a lot of fun.  Shows like this really are what its like hanging out in a comic book store, ya never know where the topic will go.  There's a CW tangent that feels like its been brewing for a bit and a take on Future State that isn't what you're used to getting out of the Bright Side...   Lots of fun so why don't you just head into the store...

🎒John has been off for two weeks so they have a lot to talk about and DJ is really excited to have his little buddy back.  They have an interesting conversation about Tanya Roberts (RIP), we FINALLY get Johns take on Wonder Woman 1984 and he doesn't hold back.  We also get some Dr. Who talk, some DC plans, some Wanda Vision speculation and a whole bunch of other comic book store goodness.  So just step into Arkham Comics & Games and check out all that and a whole bunch of books too...

John is on Vacation this week so just like last year DJ's daughter Meg sits in to give a woman's perspective to Wonder Woman 1984.  SPOILER FREE for the first 10 minutes but then they get right into it and Meg has some great points they may sway even the harshest critics.  But regardless of how you feel its always fun to hear a different perspective in what is a predominantly male driven genre.   Thanks for listening
