Two True Freaks

It's September - Surely time for a comics reboot (don't call it a reboot!) DC COMICS, fed up with being kicked around town sales-wise, finally admit that the New 52 isn't working. To that end, they decide to relaunch once again with a sequel to the event that created the New 52 in the first place. And that's the simple version! Micheal and Andrew read a ton of Rebirth books and wonder where it all went right.

Mal don't hold with grudges. Complicate matters. Niska? Well, he ain't so big on forgive and forget so when the crew of Serenity cross trails with the criminal mastermind once again, there's torture fun aplenty as Niska exacts painful vengeance. Mal and Wash swap WAR STORIES and Paul, Bill and Andy watch intently as the 10th episode of Firefly unspools.

"Doc, this is like a parachute. It's got to work the first time!"

On this episode of Bots, Bugs, and Babes, my father (Al Jaconetti) and I are still in 1957, as we move from Mexico to Italy, and look at the 1957 Ray Haryhausen classic 20 Million Miles To Earth. The third in our Film Fantasy Scrapbook Series, we cover all the aspects of the film, production, and the special effects created by the one and only Ray Harryhausen. So grab a few handfuls of sulfer and join us for a podcast that shows why it is "always so costly for man to move from the present to the future."

Sit down and get ready for a LONG, REXY EPISODE! Join Hope Mullinax and Chris Honeywell for THE DESERTER - The 9th episode of season 2 of Star Wars- The Clone Wars! This episode - CLONE NADS - REX! - GREVIOUS - HOPE SINGS - CHRIS SPOILS THE ROGUE ONE TRAILER FOR HOPE - REX! - LISTENER FEEDBACK and REX!!!

In this week's ball-medicating episode, a very sick Magnus coughs and sneezes his way through an explanation as to why there isn't an episode of the Big Book Report this week.

Technically one had never been announced so this isn't really breaking any promises. So there's that, eh? Eh, listeners?

Eh?

Anyway.

And so it was that His Excellency had to find a different subject to talk about this week. And, as fate would have it, his gaze fell upon Superboy- The Series.

This 80's oddity from the 80's makes for very enticing subject matter for discussion. And as it happens, Magnus shares a theory!

A fan theory!

Your wise emperor suggests a new interpretive framework for Superboy- The Series as well as the tie-in comic book.

Speaking of the comic book, that gets a little time in the sun here as well.

So what more do you need? Pop some NyQuil, turn up the volume and listen to your leader share more of his wisdom.

And coughs! Yes, there are many coughs all through this episode. But you take the bad with the good, eh? Eh, listeners?

Eh?

Due to the deluge of ass-kickery (and viruses) this week, unfortunately there just wasn't time for listener feedback this week. But don't whine and complain about it because some feedback was addressed just last week and there's more to come 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!

This week we take a look at the second episode of Arrow and the fourth episode of Agents of SHIELD from their first season offerings. Arrow finds the Queen family getting reacquainted and Oliver getting to work on his father's list and Agents of SHIELD goes full "Mission Impossible" as the team tracks down a rogue former agent whose motivations are more than meets the bionic eye. As usual, Easter eggs are revealed, comic comparisons are discussed and far too much time is spent talking about Steven Amell's abs. Join us for a race to see who has a heart attack on the salmon ladder first as Chris and Scott discuss another week of heroes on TV.

He's Baaaack! The special guest that no one asked for: Little Ernie! It's Ernie's turn to interview to be Paul's intern. Does hilarity ensue? Who knows, but Paul, Bill and Scott thought it was funny. Oh yeah....and they review some books while they're at it.

After months of silence, Dave has made a decision, and the show will, literally never be the same again.

Watch as Dave takes Dave's Daredevil Podcast, and turns it into Dave Does Podcasts.

Sit in shock and awe as Dave lays out what is coming doen the pike, including his new series within a series Back to Back to the Future, an ongoing look at the Back to the Future franchise.

Scott, Beth and Brian are back again this week for a family vacation as they recap the 10th episode of season two, "Do not disturb". Travis and Chris go shopping for a family truckster and end up starting a Boy Band, Alisha meets some of the Overlook Hotel's staff as she prepares to kick some walker tail and hopefully save her mom and we get to see the Kirkman version of a "Red Wedding". Is Ofelia still missing? Will "Chris and the Dudebros" career take off or will Travis end up being their "Yoko"? Will Scott, Brian and Beth make it until the season premiere of the other show without having panic attacks? The answers to all of these questions or none of them this week on your Fear the Walking Deadcast. Bonus: Brian gives us hints about his shady, clandestine past where he was engaged in things he'd probably have to kill us for if we asked him too many details about.

Today is the 50th birthday of STAR TREK and in this special episode of THE PALACE OF GLITTERING DELIGHTS, Andrew looks at the uch maligned and oft-ignored prequel ENTERPRISE. It's well worth another look. Inspired by a facebook conversation with TRENTUS MAGNUS so a big Vulcan Salute to him.
