This is a conversation about “The Greatest Weapons'' in pop culture. Lightsabers, Wolverine claws, Batarangs, that sharp starfish thingy from Krull, and MANY more sci-fi and fantasy weapons are discussed. We end up having wild conversations about everything from prophecies to labor unions. Also, don’t miss Ed and Bill trying to convince Ron that a certain Marvel character is plausible. Nerds nerding out in a funny way. You came here for it now press play.

“The Greatest Redefinition of Nerd Culture” is our 100th episode!! Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill ask, “What does ’nerd’ mean when everybody thinks they are one?” Or when everybody, via the internet, can connect to like-minded souls and be nerds about damn near anything? Nerd culture has gone from niche to a major part of entertainment marketing. If everything that was once nerdy is now mainstream what is the “new” pop culture nerdom going to be about? We explore that AND we read an excellent letter from one of our thoughtful fans! This one’s a milestone and an instant classic rolled into one. Save it to see if any of our predictions come true!

Today we discuss “The Greatest Sports Movies” BUT we aren’t some normal podcast so of course our pics are weird. All of us played at least high school level sports and Producer Bill played D1 football but we are all nerds to the core and our talk proves it. This one has some serious laughs and insights from both sides of the nerd/jock coin. Amongst the films discussed are obvious pics like Field Of Dreams, Any Given Sunday, A League of Their Own, White Men Can’t Jump, etc. but we get into stuff like Uncut Gems, Moneyball, and Teen Wolf as well.  So don’t be scared to head into the locker room with the meatheads…we’ll keep you safe.

"The Greatest Movie Scores" features Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill talking about the music that makes you feel something while you're at the movies. A companion to our "Greatest Movie Soundtracks" episode, this one is about classic movie composers like John Williams, Bernard Herman, and Ennio Morricone and the movies they scored. But we also discuss our personal faves like Basil Poledouris, James Horner, Vangelis, and more. If you've ever cheered, gasped, or cried at the movies, chances are the score was a factor. So listen as we talk about the unsung heroes of film.

WATCH THIS on THE GREATEST POD YOUTUBE CHANNEL!! https://www.youtube.com/@thegreatestpod5755 This is the titanic conclusion of our opus on one of the greatest living comic book artists. In this one we examine the brilliant Scottsman’s work on books like WE3, All Star Superman, Jupiter’s Legacy, Pax Americana, Batman and Robin, a host of cover images and even some paintings. This and Part 1 are our attempts at being one of THE definitive pieces of analysis on Frank Quitely’s work and we hope to do other, shorter, dissertations on the very few artists who can give him a run for his money. But for now, lace your boots, and head towards the horizon. This pod will keep you company all the way there.

This is part 1 of a giant-sized VIDEO of Ed and Producer Bill asking, “Is Frank Quitely The Greatest”. WATCH us go through his entire career chronologically on The Greatest Pod YouTube https://youtube.com/@thegreatestpod5755 accompanied by visual examples of specific pages from his illustrious career and you’ll SEE why we think so. A comic book artist has to be a designer,  a draftsman, a character designer, an architect, and most of all a problem solver. If someone does one or two of these things supremely well you can be a superstar comic book artist, but if you do all of them equally well you’re a genius. Quitely is a storyteller above all else. Every skill, and every instinct he has is in service of story and that makes him the Greatest. Next week Part 2!!

This episode, “Is The Authority The Greatest” could also have been called “Is The Authority The Greatest Influence” because we make a case for the original Bryan Hitch and Warren Ellis run being the most ripped-off comic book of the last thirty years. Its influence ripples to this day in the modern conception of the superhero film from looks to morality, especially in the MCU. Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill talk about how The Authority fits (or DOESN’T) into DC’s future publishing and movie universe under James Gunn. If you want a primer on the characters or an in-depth exploration of their past, present, and possible future, either way we got you covered.

This one is going to show The Greatest Pod’s musical tastes and our ages, but we also make some compelling arguments for our “Greatest Movie Soundtracks”. There are of course interesting choices and glaring omissions. We discuss and debate the soundtracks that introduced us to new songs back in the pre-Tik Tok music market. How fresh did “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg on the Above The Rim soundtrack make a young Producer Bill feel? Did Ron reach his athletic peak listening to a song from the Rocky 3 soundtrack? Which song from the Jackie Brown soundtrack gives Ed the relentless feels? Listen to this and you’ll know!

“The Greatest Immortal'' is where this episode starts but Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill quickly find themselves discussing what their individual goals would be if they could not die. Sure there’s some talk about Galactus, The Highlander, demons, vampires like Lestat, and such but the episode is very much a Rorschach test. Fantasies we’ve never told anyone bubble to the surface and questions abound. Does morality remain a part of your life FOREVER if you know you’ll never actually “meet your maker”? Anybody can be a good person for 70 years, what about a thousand? Conversely, is it possible, even probable, that you’d become a great person on a long enough timeline? With all that time to work on yourself couldn’t you become anything you wanted? Why or why not? What would your goals be and how would that change over time? This ep is basically our interrogation of the concept of belief systems through a pop culture lens. Yeah, we’re deep. Dive in!
