Weirdos From Another Planet!

Peter and Bill sat down this week with Ryan Penagos, Executive Editorial Director at Marvel.com and master of all things Internet. We talked some more about Guardians of the Galaxy, about how crossover events work, about love of comic books and ruining childhoods, about gender- and race-swapping beloved characters and the nerd rage that follows, about how to break into the comic book industry and about tacos. Heck, we even talked Gay Batman!

Pete and Bill have seen a movie! Guardians of the Galaxy is out and everyone is talking about it. Well, Pete and Bill are talking about it, at least. This podcast is half spoiler-free and half spoiler-heavy, so you have been warned. If you haven't seen the movie yet, please go see it. It's well worth your time. ROCKETS SHOOTING MACHINE GUNS.

Pete and Bill sit down to discuss some important business. The third annual #DoLoThroDo is just a handful of weeks away. We remind you to prepare your bodies appropriately. Other pressing matters concern the new Lana Del Rey album (and naturally the question of authenticity) and pondering the nature of RiFF RAFF, who is remarkably self-actualized for a non-deity. Come join us. For the night is dark, and full of tacos.

Pete and Bill settle in for a nice chat. Pete consumes some adult beverages and they talk about a comedy show, some problems with race and wrestling, whether the Rock is a black man (yes) and what the heck is the deal with the Insane Clown Posse (they're fun).

It is Bill's birthday, so he and Pete are obligated to talk about that for a while. The conversation moves on to the Garfield/Nermal dichotomy, before getting down to the important business that is #LilKimWeek. Be warned: adult language and topics herein.

What is a sandwich? Before you answer that, listen to Pete and Bill watch the 2014 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and question the meaning of existence. Conversation turns to the films of Paul Thomas Anderson, obviously. 

It's time to talk about music again! Apparently. Bill and Pete sit down and listen to six songs that they've been enjoying lately. Then they talk about them! Wheeeee! They're also jealous of people who live in the future. Things are simpler there.

Sit down with Pete and Bill for another old-fashioned podcast. This time around, they offer some corrections and retractions and after beating around the bush for a while, they finally shed some light on what happens to you after you die. We don't mean to offend. Just remember: It's not pod friends; it's pod business.

Yes, Pete has matriculated. It's not as scandalous as it sounds. It's time to talk about Los Angeles and what makes it special. What are the best places in Los Angeles? Where can you see a bear wearing a sweater? Why does Moby have a blog? And what's the deal with shoes? We have to be honest: this one kind of goes all over the place. 

On this week's podcast, Pete and Bill start off by discussing the ruinous state of the academic tuition system, but then transition to Chris Bosh and then spend the majority of the episode on BIBLE CHAT. Which apostle would make the best surly teen? What was the deal with Mark and Luke? We'll call you Didymus from now on.
