Victims and Villains

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For the last eight years, while Marvel has been blowing up the big screen with the adventures of the MCU – DC has been ushering in their own television universe known as the “Arrowverse”. What started in 2012 with a singular show to tell the story of DC’s version of Robin Hood has grown into so much more than that. The CW now boasts the reigns of The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow and of course the show that started it all, Arrow. While we are on the heels of the largest crossover, the Arrowverse has ever seen in Crisis on Infinite Earths – it’s not going to come without some serious repercussions. The show that started the entire universe is coming to a close. While it’s been an impressive, fun and sometimes dull seven years – we’re counting down our top 10 moments, episodes & characters from Arrow. We’re not alone, though. Joining us on this journey is the man behind not one, but four, podcasts (The Spotlight, DC Prime Time, We Have to Go Back & Still Afraid of the Dark): Mr. Ben Beck!

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For this adventure, we're gonna be doing a little bit of time traveling. Way back when, we had ushered two spin-off shows, The P.S. Midnight Cast & Reborn and Remembered. The former was the marriage of the 1990s and suicide prevention, while the latter focused on exclusively on DC comics and suicide prevention. For this episode, we're joined by one of the Reborn and Remembered hosts, Micah Kimber (https://spoti.fi/2lLbg8w). Micah is now a spoken word artist, on the heels of his first album being released, Create. Join us as we discuss the new album. More past that though, we're in an interesting spot. Having just celebrated Batman Day & International Comic Book Day, while also drawing near to the release of the Joker movie. So it's a perfect nerd storm. To celebrate such a storm, we're talking about the Alan Moore classic, The Killing Joke.

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For this episode, we’re sitting down with up and coming author, Dana Snider. Dana is the writer of the upcoming memoir, Her Hearts Cry. Dana has also experienced divorce due to her ex-husband’s addiction to pornography. Pornography addiction is an addiction that not many people even consider, think about or address. Yet, it effects millions of people every day. Millions of relationships and marriages. In this episode, we’re exploring just the depth of what an addiction like pornography can do to a marriage, individual and specifically women. Dana discusses the impact of what her husband’s addiction did to her as a woman and what it did to her own mental health. To read more on what this episode explores and to understand the impact of pornography, click here: http://bit.ly/2mmU60P. Be on the look out for Dana’s book, coming out later this fall.

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! We're teaming up with our friends over at The Retro Gamers Podcast to answer a question that has plagued men for generations. Which system is better: SEGA or NINTENDO? Throughout our search for answers, we're looking at the hardware behind the system, the game libraries, the legacies and more. Remember this was the original console war. Before Microsoft had the Xbox or Sony had the PlayStation. It was Sega & Nintendo. Do you prefer Sonic chasing the gold coins or Mario in the midst of mushrooms? Make sure you let us know where you stand on the issue? Share your memories of the systems with us as well.

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse and Happy Friday the 13th! It seems like so long since we've taken a trip to the Voorhees Universe to discuss Friday the 13th! However, the wait is now over! Last year, we started an adventure to cover every single JASON VOORHEES movie but only on Friday the 13th. Back your bags for Camp Crystal Lake for another round with the slasher icon because Friday the 13th is upon us. The original Friday the 13th is such a beloved classic. Though, how does fare against its' predecessor. In this episode, we're discussing everything from the humanizing factor of Jason Voorhees, mythology building, the film's use of grief and more. Plus, as an added bonus, we're sitting down with special effects studio, Amos SFX. Plus a very special shout out to A Brook Reading Podcast for one of our recreation elements within the episode.
