Many Christmases ago, Frank Costanza, fed up with the commercialism of Christmas and upset at how it caused him to reign blows upon another man who also wanted the same doll he was about to buy for his son, decided to create a new holiday--a Festivus for the rest of us. In the spirit of Frank and this holiday, Michael Bailey joins me for a very special Festivus episode.We begin by exploring the origins of Festivus, both through its appearance on Seinfeld and its real-life history. And then carry on the traditions of the holiday with the airing of grievances, where we talk about what's bothering us in pop culture this year as well as the feats of strength, wherein we take a look at the 1992-1993 Image Comics miniseries Brigade.So get out the aluminum pole and get your family around the table so you can tell them all the ways you've disappointed them before they try to pin you because it's time to celebrate!

Dave closes out 2016 with a one-off, stand alone episode in which he vents his feelings about one of his childhood crushes- Gwen Stacy.

Dave traces the history of Spidey's original lady-love and her relationship with Peter Parker to show just how important Gwen Stacy was to the Spider-Man Saga.

This episode is not about the legendary “Night Gwen Stacy Died.” This is about who she was, and why she mattered when she lived. Enjoy the last episode of DDP for 2016.

It's mid-season finale time as Scott, Mike, Brian and special guest Professor Alan Middleton talk about episode eight of season seven. Rick and Aaron are paddling through zombie swamp, Spencer is trying to make a new buddy in Negan and Rosita is still planning her suicide shot at the big man. Michonne is off doing some recon. Daryl goes feral with Fat Joey and Jesus is still just everywhere. Negan is enjoying some lemonade and cooking us dinner so don't miss it because you know someone's going to die. Happy Holidays from your Fear the Walking Deadcast. See you again in February!!!

In a special Christmas episode of the Palace Of Glittering Delights, Andrew invites Michael Bailey around to knock back a beer or two and talk over the 2nd of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies. Happy Christmas everybody.

In this week's ball-caroling episode, 'tis the season for Magnus to celebrate Christmas by taking a long (very long!) look back at The Batman Adventures Christmas Special.

This classic has been a holiday favorite of His Excellency's since practically the day it was released, boys and girls.

There are more stories in this single issue than you could hope to shake a stick at but that doesn't stop Magnus from trying as he works his way from one cover to the other in fairly economical time.

For those of you determined to soil the Internet by sharing click-bait, "You won't believe what Magnus was doing the first time he read this comic!"

Due to the deluge of ass-kickery this week, unfortunately there just wasn't time for listener feedback this week. But don't cry about it because there's more coming in the future!

Patience! The vast backlog of feedback will be addressed in due time. Fear not!

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!

Recorded just before the opening of Rogue One (Seriously, go see it) this rag tag group of rebels and darksiders relive their favorite Force moments and throw out some theories about where the franchise will take us next. Bonus Star Trek and Ash Vs. Evil Dead and Pete Hesch discussion at no extra cost! Remember listen or listen not, it's a podcast so those are pretty much your only options. Choose the light and enjoy some Mindless Drivel!

It's our 75th episode and that means it's time for another look at another movie about the Vietnam War. This time around, I'm joined by fellow TTF podcaster Luke Jaconetti (Earth Destruction Directive) to talk about the 1982 Sylvester Stallone movie First Blood as well as its 1985 sequel, Rambo: First Blood Part II. We talk about each movie's plot and characters as well as the novel First Blood by David Morell, and then talk about the pop culture phenomenon that was Rambo in the mid-1980s.
