THE UNDERTOW PODCAST

We are back in The Undertow this month with Guinness in hand to discuss Kill Or Be Killed #15, the first issue of the book's fourth arc. We also dive in to a recent video interview of Sean Phillips from a French comic convention that included a wealth of interesting news from the world of Brubaker/Phillips. Recommendations for this episode are two works from 2013, the Tom Hardy film Locke and the Brian K. Vaughan/Marcos Martin comic The Private Eye.

In this month's abridged episode, Robert discusses Kill Or Be Killed #14, the final issue of the comic's third arc, and briefly touches on the exciting news of a KOBK movie in development. His recommendations for the month are The Art of Sean Phillips, a 2013 career-spanning retrospective and Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey.

We return to the Undertow for this month's discussion on Kill Or Be Killed #13, the latest issue in the ongoing Image Comics series from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Our monthly recommendations are the new crime comic Slots by Dan Panosian and Whiteout, the late 90s mini-series from Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber.

The team is back this month to discuss their favorite issue of Kill Or Be Killed thus far, Issue #12. We also dive into the latest Brubaker and Phillips news, including Velvet TV developments and upcoming projects. To round out the episode, Bubba recommends a new Image crime comic mini-series The Hard Place and Robert offers up his Top 5 Tom Petty deep cuts.

The team is back in The Undertow talking Kill Or Be Killed #11, the latest issue in the ongoing Brubaker/Phillips series that shows protagonist Dylan going through an emotional roller coaster. Recommendations for the month are The X-files Season 5 episode The Post Modern Prometheus and the IDW sci-fi comic Strange Science Fantasy.

The crew returns to the Undertow this month to discuss Kill Or Be Killed #10, the finale of the comic's second arc.  We also get everyone up to speed on all of the latest news from the world of Brubaker & Phillips and offer up our monthly recommendations, the brand new Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk and the classic Hollywood crime film from 1967, Bonnie & Clyde.

In lieu of recommendations on our last episode on Kill Or Be Killed #9, here's a bonus episode for our Undertow listeners on the recently wrapped Image comics miniseries A.D. After Death by Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire. We both enjoyed this book immensely, and to no one's suprise, ended up talking about it in relation to Brubaker and Phillips partnership as well.  Great sci-fi, with a touch of crime, and gorgeous watercolors made this a fun to book to read and break down.

We are back in The Undertow this month to discuss Kill Or Be Killed #9 and all the latest Brubaker & Phillips news, including the intriguing mention of a "short Criminal graphic novella" in the most recent Ed Brubaker newsletter.  There are no recommendations this month (except for beverage recommendations...), but look for a bonus episode in the coming weeks where we do an in-depth discussion on the very strong sci-fi miniseries A.D. After Death.

We return to The Undertow this month to discuss KOBK #8 and all of the latest news regarding the team of Brubaker & Phillips.  Recommendations from the crew are Steven Soderbergh's crime film The Limey and Jeff Lemire's new Image comic, Royal City.

We're back in The Undertow this month to talk about the latest issue of Kill or be Killed, a great issue from Kira's point of view.  As always, we've got news and recommendations for our listeners, including Michael Mann's Miami Vice and Brian Wood's great Vertigo comic, DMZ.
