Two True Freaks

Paul is joined this time around by Andrew Leyland to take a look at the latest entry from the DC Cinematic Universe: Suicide Squad. Is It Jaws? Listen in and find out.

Disenfranchised by the modern comics industry, Scott Gardner, Paul Spataro and Bill Robinson now ply the timestream in a never-ending quest to re-discover and re-connect with that unique brand of fun and excitement that can only truly be found in good ol' fashioned randomly-selected Comic Book back issues!! Journey with them now...back...Back To The Bins!! This week, we once again find ourselves without books and take on your questions....and tangents abound!

It's Showa action on the big screen! And in riffed form, too! It's Rifftrax Live: Mothra, and Earth Destruction Directive is there! Is it worth your time to check out this 1961 science fiction classic on the big screen? Download and find out! Featuring my brother Jason's comments as well!

The replay is Tuesday August 23rd! Check your local listings and get more information at http://www.rifftrax.com/live

Nothin' and no-one are out in the black, a slight problem when your compression coil 'ain't compressin' no more. With no hope of rescue, is it time for Mal to go down with his boat? Andrew, Paul and Bill watch OUT OF GAS, the 7th (and possibly finest?) episode of FIREFLY!

Scott "The Wall" McGregor assembles his own Suicide Squad to discuss the new movie from the DC Extended Universe. He is joined by a rag tag crew of miscreants including Beth and Brian Hughes, Sean Foster, Jason Jaconetti and Chris "The Joker, the smoker, the midnight toker" Honeywell. Will this squad throw rotten tomatoes at the film or were there some redeeming features of this David Ayers action movie that moves the DC cinematic universe forward in a positive way? And remember, if you don't listen to this podcast, we hold the remote control for those neck explosives we had installed while you were sleeping last night.

What does Magnus want from the DCEU?

Frankly, His Excellency rather enjoys most of what's come so far. But is this the *IDEAL*? Not really.

So because Magnus had nothing better to do, here's a 20'ish minute discussion on what His Excellency's ideal DCEU would be.

How similar *IS* it to what we currently have? Well, answering that here sort of defeats the purpose of listening to this Very Special Trentus Magnus Jabs Reality, now doesn't it?

Suffice it to say, the answer is not what you think. What ever you're thinking, it's totally wrong and the complete opposite of what Magnus wants. Even if two people reading this blurb have totally opposite ideas, they're still both wrong because they're both somehow totally the opposite.

Capice?

Listen and learn, boys and girls!

In this week's ball-blinding episode, Magnus continues the ongoing progression of the unfolding of the protracted furthering of Tremendous Bendis Weekly.

Y'see, boys and girls, Brian Michael Bendis, though widely popular, has his share of detractors.

The potential causes are almost too numerous to mention: his writing style, his prolificacy or his wanton fixation for really freaking long storytelling. I mean, seriously, the guy could hardly be accused of writing for the trade anymore; at one point, it was more like he was writing for the omnibus.

Or it's possible that some of the summer of our Bendis discontent is the product of all those things happening at once simultaneously in concert with each other together all at the same time!

Whatever the case, a lot of comic mavens bristle merely at the name "Brian Michael Bendis" in the writer's credit.

This sort of thing is a bit trendy on the Internet. Or it was at one time, anyway.

But Magnus is having none of it, ladies and gentlemen!

Yes indeed, kiddos, while Magnus is hardly a Bendis devotee, it would be accurate to say that His Excellency has enjoyed several Bendis stories and, it so happens, was in a mood to gab about some Bendis stories.

And, to finally get to the point here, the spotlight shines this week on the 'Underboss' storyline from Daredevil vol. 2 #26-31.

What's so special about Underboss, you ask? Well, giving that all away here would probably harm this episode's download numbers. However, this storyline is what we in the know call "The beginning of the Bendis run proper" for Daredevil. Some really big stuff spun out of this story.

For those determined to ruin the Internet for everyone else by perpetuating click-bait on Facebook, "Kingpin's underlings find out he's been keeping a *VERY* big secret and then *THIS* happens!"

Due to the deluge of ass-kickery, unfortunately there's just no time for listener feedback this week.

However, there has been a fair amount of feedback (and feed-forward!) fairly recently so this subject hasn't been entirely ignored.

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!
