Views From The Longbox Version 2.0

Shag and Mike are back with yet even more Batman talk. This time it's Batman Year Three and A Lonely Place of Dying, again two stories from 1989. Probably not at as good the first part, but hey Michael had to release it because if not Shag will hit him with bamboo canes. Seriously. Shag's abusive to Mike. This is a cry for help.

Shag and Mike are back with more Batman talk. This time it's Mud Pack, a story from 1989. Mike also says the phrase Kick Ass a lot. A whole lot.

It was 20 years ago last month Sgt. Pepper taught his band that with a 900 number you can kill a sidekick. Yes, Michael is back and joined by the Irredeemable Shag to talk about DEATH IN THE FAMILY, the story that two decades ago killed Robin only to have him return seventeen years later because Superboy Prime had a hissy fit. In this first part of a two part episode Michael and Shag go over the history of the Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis Jason Todd before starting to talk about DEATH IN THE FAMILY itself. All this and bad sixties guitar rock too.

Michael welcomes yet another guest host this week and the second one to come from the Spider-Man Crawlspace. Kevin Cushing joins Michael to talk about Green Lantern and they do. They also talk about a thousand other things, but that's pretty much they way things work on this show.

The third installment is here and Michael is somewhat sad that it is over because he had so much fun recording with Big Honkin' Steve. This week Michael and Steve finally (as this is the first topic the two ever kicked around to discuss) get to hash it out over Smallville. That eats up a lot of the episode. Towards the end we talk comics again and Steve makes Michael laugh. A lot.

The second part of Michael's discussion with Big Honkin' Steve begins with an announcment about some changes happening to the Views feed. After that it's a pretty Superman heavy episode as Michael and Steve discuss Superman Returns. For nearly an hour.

This week begins a three part conversation with the host of Geek Out Loud, the writer of Geek Out Online and the co-host of Starkville's House of El and the Skynext Podcast himself Big Honkin' Steve. Michae is really excited about this one as he and Steve have been trying to do an episode together for quite some time. In this first installment they kiss each other's behinds for a bit before launching into a variety of subjects. These three episodes of Views will be a rare safe place for you to geek out.
