Two True Freaks

In the tenth episode of Origin Story, I head on over to Marvel's Distinguished Competition to check out an early FCTC-era Superman story with Adventures of Superman #428. I review the comic, gush about Jerry Ordway's art (because you have to), ship Clark Kent and Cat Grant, and reveal that I didn't realize when I was nine years old that the hostage on the cover of the comic was actually a guy (sorry Jerry--both of you). Also, I talk about how I remember buying this comic, which includes a story that will embarrass my sister ... which is always a bonus.

Please don't forget to leave feedback at the Pop Culture Affidavit Facebook page and check out Pop Culture Affidavit for the show notes.

The very first episode of Tangents Abound on the TTF network and I am so very proud and thankful to be a part of the DiManzo family. By the way, I was told there would be canolli...and I can't find any. I'm assuming the delivery guy just got lost. The rest of the Tangents will be coming just as soon as Harley...just listen to the show and you'll find out who that is... gets off the moving boxes. I'll still be using my old Libsyn feed for my old friends for the time being but I can't wait to make new ones here! Also for anyone curious..all Tangents are family friendly and safe for all listeners...sometimes we go PG-13 but that's the highest...I promise. Also, I kind of make an announcement that I'm on the feed at the end of the episode that could possibly cause deafness so you may want to turn the volume down at about 3 or 4 minutes left.

In this episode, there will be listener feedback, lots of tea drinking...kind of a running theme for me, and then a WHOLE LOT of Batman talk! I go into what I love the most about the character, why Robin is such an important part of his story, and even tangent off into Spider-Man territory for a bit! Oh it's good to be back...but since this is the first episode here...I guess arrive?... and I can't wait to hear from all of my friends both old and new!

Feedback for the show can be sent to [email protected] or on Twitter at @ahenley2011. Also if you could please leave me an Itunes review to let me know how I'm doing and what I need to work on, I'd greatly appreciate it!

The finale of the second three-part "Punisher Invades The 'Nam" and Chuck Dixon's last issue of the series takes us through the end of Iceman's story about Frank Castle's time in country, with plenty of action, as Frank defends a firebase and confronts the colonel who may or may not know about the shady things that have led to his fellow soldiers' deaths. It's "Down to the Ground" by Chuck Dixon, Kevin Kobasic, adn Jimmy Palmiotti in The 'Nam #69.

I take a look at the issue and reflect on the overall Punisher storyline and also look at the historical background for January and February of 1972.

Paul and Chris Tyler take a look at the introduction of Rocky Balboa to the world. This movie has gone to inspire many copycats, six sequels and a Broadway show....but Is It Jaws? Paul and Chris look closely to decide. Listen in and find out.

Logan is open in the theaters, so Paul Scott & Bill take a look at the source material: Old Man Logan. Who could be better to guest on this show than Young Man Logan? Logan Gardner joins the boys for a look at this highly regarded comic run. Do they like it? Do they love it? Do they hate it? Listen in to find out! It's shameless! It's obligatory! It's coatail riding! And it's an episode! SCORE!!!!!!

Scott, Mike and Sara are back with a recap of season seven episode eleven of The Walking Dead and we get a break from the war effort with What Eugene did on his summer vacation at the Sanctuary. Bullet boy is brought to Negan to prove hes worthy to keep around. Will Eugene botch the role or will he throw on his big boy acting pants and con the man with the bat? Or is it a con at all? Eugene just has to invent a couple things and he could be on easy street. Also, a we get some more time with Dwight who is sent on a search for his escaped ex (and Negans current) wife Sherry who escaped after the DarExit. The season is heating up and so is Negans furnace. Its fun with video games and lessons on how to be an aggressive shopper that could be helpful next Black Friday! And dont forget young Padawans, Fear leads to crying, crying leads to lying and lying gets you pickles! Come to the Negan side!

It's time to once again Listen to the Prophets. this time around, the Grand Nagus has had a change of heart! The Rules of Acquisition have been rewritten to serve the greater good, stressing morality over profit. Quark knows that something is wrong and so do Andrew, Bill and Paul as they discuss and disect this season three Deep Space Nine Episode.

In this week's ball-bigly episode, Magnus is rejoined by Chris Honeywell to kick off Weird Stuff, the replacement for the Big Book Report as the 7th episode feature.

In this week's adventure, Honeywell and Magnus talk about Shia the Beef's He Will Not Divide Us performance art project.

At least, that was the plan.

What ended up actually happening was that Honeywell and Magnus gave it last rites because the project was cancelled less than a week after recording. Yeah, apparently it's back now in the desert. But it's gone, let's be realistic.

But for one brief, shining, bigly moment, He Will Not Divide Us was a cascade of trolling, counter-trolling, idiotic chants, racist chants, incoherent chants and more web-cam crap-show insanity than you could ever hope to shake a stick at.

In the course of conversation, Magnus and Honeywell analyze the finer points of performance art and offer relevant critiques to the Beef.

All this and Honeywell recounts some of his adventures from college.

So what more do you need? Unless you want the Beef to scream in your face, start listening now!

Due to the blitzkrieg of badassitude this week, unfortunately there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But don't cry about it, some is coming in the future!

So dry your eyes! Use the time wisely! This would be an opportune time to send in any feedback you may have as the vault could get totally cleared out of feedback in the relatively near future. So get to writing!

In the meantime, though, don't let the lack of feedback this time get you down! You can still offer your feeble effort at tribute! You humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is [email protected] as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly unprecedented charity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, petitions may be sent to [email protected] for DiManzocorp interns to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!
