Episode 61: Batman v Superman – A Universe of Dumb Idiots

Posted on by zeroissues

This week we’re talking all about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the comic book movie that’s dividing fans and critics alike but making enough money to buy every single person at Warner Bros their own Batwing. The boys assemble to analyze and share their opinions on the movie — and there may be a few surprises about what they thought! So consider that a spoiler warning.

Also: Kyle covers recent comic and movie news, Merk leads a discussion about the future of R-rated comic movies, and Bry decides to settle the Batman vs. Superman debate once and for all… with a movie tie-in cereal taste test!

Episode 60: Overexposed Characters – Could Wolverine Be a Helicopter?

Posted on by zeroissues

This week we’re talking about overexposed characters in comics and movies — your Deadpools, your Harley Quinns, your Wolverines… your Batmen? — and what impact becoming massively, all-consumingly popular can have on these characters and their natural appeal. Also: everything to know about DC Rebirth in 4 minutes and 30 seconds, rejected podcast topics, weird variant cover pitches, and a few tangents as the boys talk about the Ghostbusters reboot and then get super excited reminiscing about Colorforms!

Episode 59: Public Domain – Be My Dell Comics Frankenstein

Posted on by zeroissues

Hey, would you folks like to write a comic about Frankenstein’s monster? How about Thor, Norse god of thunder? Or maybe Dracula’s more your speed? Then go nuts, you weirdo, because you won’t be the first person to do it! This week we talk all about the public domain: characters available to use, how public domain works, and why Frankenstein being a millionaire is just the best idea ever.

Plus, we’ve got hip and hot news, Did This Happen? and Plothole Cold Case! So get our mouths in your ears. D… Don’t think about it.

One crime at a time!

May Mike Judge us all!
