Some of My Friends Read Comics 019 – Thanos Quest

somfrc019

Thanos! He’s a big purple dude that keeps showing up in the Marvel movies… but why is everyone always freaking out about him?

Since he’s gonna be the big bad in the next Avengers movie, we figured we’d get some backstory by reading the 1990 comics where he became a major player. And it all started with his resurrection in Silver Surver 34-38, followed by his hunt for the Infinity Gems in Thanos Quest 1-2.

Writer Jim Starlin takes us into the world of Marvel’s cosmic galaxy that he helped form, and artist Ron Lim gives us some breath-taking psychedelic images.

What a team!

In every list, something has to be at the bottom.  Even when everything in the list is great.  In every Olympic race, the last-place athlete is still one of the greatest in the world.

In this episode, we’re naming the WORST OF THE BEST. What’s the worst Wes Anderson movie?  Who’s the worst Looney Toon?  What’s the worst Harry Potter book?  What’s the worst Daniel Day-Lewis performance?

Find out the answers to these questions and more on ALL MY FRIENDS ARE RIGHT HERE!

snl41-09

We ate too much over the holidays, and we were a bit sluggish in getting this week’s SATURDAY NIGHT LOVE out.  It’s a week late, but we hope this episode was worth the weight!

Tina Fey & Amy Poehler shared hosting duties this time around for a fun mix of Christmas skits, political skits, and weird Taylor Swift parodies that we don’t understand.

Jurassic World!  Carly Rae Jepsen & Justin Bieber!  H is for Hawk!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 018 – Punisher Christmas Specials


Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Few things go together better than The Punisher and Christmas (maybe peanut butter & jelly, spaghetti & meatballs, or lamb & tuna fish).  Get into the holiday spirit with Marvel’s foremost vigilante – The Punisher – as he murders a bunch of bad guys on Christmas!

In this episode, we look at the Punisher Christmas Specials from 2004, 2005, and 2006, and the gang is more divided than ever!  Listen as we fail to agree on the Punisher AT ALL.

Any good film nerd knows that you have to have an opinion on Quentin Tarantino’s movies and where they stack up.  In this episode, we build a definitive ranking of Quentin Tarantino’s 8 movies.*

We’ll also learn that Diamond Jones and Alex had similar coming of age experiences with From Dusk Till Dawn.

snl41-08

It’s Hemsworth’s time!  Thor stops by 30 Rock for the second time this year to host Saturday Night Live!

Vince, Scott, and Doug Vader remember Toonces the Driving Cat, marvel at the Predator font in “No Time to Bleed”, and wish they could be as cool as Chris Hemsworth (even though he’s weird now).
