331: Low-Cal Batzone Zone

Posted on by zeroissues

Coming to a theatre near you: crappy tie-in products! This week, we go over some of the best, worst, and most notorious tie-in junk that gets attached to comics and movies: from Baskin Robbins’ Hydra Force Sundae, to Watchmen condoms, to the Howard the Duck call-in line that definitely isn’t a sex thing (and if it is, big whoop, right?); there’s been some real air balls courtesy of our good friends at Synergy Ltd.!

But first! We’ve got Jon Bernthal-adjacent Punisher news (this episode was recorded before the announcement that Netflix was losing its’ Marvel original shows, whoops!), and a fast food-themed CharacterStorm! All that and Grimace!

134: The Human E-Meter

Posted on by zeroissues

This week the boys take a look at probably nobody’s favourite Avenger, Triathalon, and try to find a way to make the much-unloved character better! There are at least two really solid ideas in here, we promise!

Also: We sort through a Completely Objective ranking of the worst-to-best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles songs, and then pitch a smorgasbord of inevitable (and inevitably ridiculous) licensed comic crossovers! And you know that means Ash, Garfield, Howard the Duck, and more Kurt Russells than you can count!
