  • #46 – The BRAND NEW Universe Box

    We’re rebooting our old show Universe Box. It’s still “stories set to a theme” but in a whole new way. What is the BRAND NEW Universe Box? Well you’ll just have to listen and find out! In this episode we talk Stranger Things Season 2, Lumiere and Cogsworth in the new Beauty and the Beast remake, and report on Amazon opening another physical book store. Plus we’ll reveal a thoroughly modern use for a classic Gameboy and feel old while discussing the VMAs.

  • #45 – “Suicide Squad” Review

    Join Bill Meeks, Anne Marie DeSimone, and guest Bobby Hawke for an analysis of the latest movie from DC Comics, Suicide Squad.

    What do you do with your back to The Wall? You do what she says or she’ll make you fall. When villains are heroes for whom do you cheer? How ‘bout the Aussie sneaking a beer? Will Harley escape? The Joker gives aid. Will she forgo Puddin’ for these friends she’s made? Deadshot’s the hero. Isn’t that odd? We’re off our meds with the “Suicide Squad.”

  • #45 – “The Killing Joke” Review

    Join Bill Meeks and Anne Marie DeSimone as they review the animated adaptation of the seminal Alan Moore comic book “The Killing Joke”. Starring Batman, Joker, Batgirl, and a naked Jim Gordon.

    What happens after one bad day? Joker’s convinced that your mind goes away. Can Batman solve his bad clown conundrum? He’d turn into someone he shouldn’t become. Will Gordon crumple? He lives by the book. Will he maintain his lawful outlook? Will the Batman engage in a thrilling choke? Laughter is deadly in “The Killing Joke”.

  • #41 – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

    Why does Batsy hate Supes so much? He thinks he’s a god who’s losing his touch. Is Lex Luthor a madman savant? He tricks our heroes with family-based taunts. Who’ll win on fight night? Could go either way. Can they set beef aside to go save the day? Will the other heroes adapt Lex Luthor’s brand? Justice will dawn in “Batman v Superman”.

    We’re joined by Rebecca Johnson of Supergirl Radio and HolyBatPastor!
