75 years ago, if you had told us that a guy who runs around in clown makeup stealing jewels would one day become the most iconic supervillain in comics, then we’re afraid we wouldn’t have heard you because we weren’t born yet.
In this very special episode all about The Joker, we take a look back at his first appearance in Batman #1 and then read what has been called the greatest Joker story of all time, Alan Moore’s controversial The Killing Joke. Join us, won’t you?
Summer is a great time for taking a road trip, but what if you could only select 6 albums to listen to while you do it? That’s the dilemma the gang faces today as they try to draft the perfect road trip playlist to get all their friends into their cars. Categories include Country music, standup comedy albums, and albums that sold over 15 million copies. Along the way, they’ll get to the bottom of pressing issues such as Garth Brooks’s baseball tryout, the best time to be a Weezer fan, and just how white you have to be to like Fleetwood Mac.
Want to listen to the guys’ selections on your own road trip? Check out the AMFARH-approved summer road trip playlist: http://spoti.fi/1Morq9x

Ready for some trippy 60’s comic book art? We sure are, and you can bet your American flag that Steve Rogers is too! For only three issues in 1969, Jim Steranko infused Captain America with a dose of Salvador Dali and delivered some of the coolest, most surreal, early Marvel issues we’ve ever seen.
Join us as we talk about the (first) time Cap faked his own death in Captain America 110, 111, and 113.
After the break, check out some more of Steranko’s amazing art!
Join the guys as they relive “Now That’s What I Call Music!, Vol 3” the final installment of the series before Y2K forever obliterated all electronic media.
They’ll cover all the hits (and misses…a lotta misses) of the day and draft the raddest tracks for their radio stations.
Topics include: boy bands that reference Doctor Zhivago, Pizza Hut memories, and interesting ways Lenny Kravitz may or may not play guitar.

In 1997, frustrated with struggling sales, DC cancelled all four of their Justice League titles and brought the original “Big 7” back to the team for the first time in a decade. But that wasn’t enough, they also brought on superstar writer Grant Morrison to turn the reboot into a huge bestseller.
In this episode of SOMFRC, Vince, Chris, and Kia take a look at JLA #1-4 to see what the hype was all about, compare the JLA to the Avengers, and explore Morrison’s jump from writing counter-cultural indie comics to superhero icons.
They did it! They found the best skit of Saturday Night Live’s Season 40’s spring! In this over-sized episode, Scott, Kia, and Vince go through all their previous Best Skit of the Night contenders and find out what will be remembered as the classic skit from Season 40.
See the skit they picked after the break!
Hold onto your butts! The guys try to realize John Hammond’s dream and bring Jurassic Park to life. Out of the pool of dinosaurs that appeared in the Jurassic Park thrillogy, the guys draft their own Jurassic Parks.
Also, Richard tells us his horrific childhood nickname for Anklyosaurus, Alex shares his lifelong wishes for a pteranodon to ride on his arm like a parrot, and Scott sets the record straight on how he feels about gallimimuses.

During the episode, we mentioned the Toronto Raptor’s inflatable mascot. He’s amazing.
This week’s contest is to photoshop one of our hosts with Chris Pratt. My wife overheard us during recording, and she already got a jumpstart on all our listeners. She misinterpreted the contest as “photoshop us with Chris Pratt…’s body.”

Remember that time in the 70’s when Godzilla was shrunken down by Ant-Man, fought the Fantastic Four and the Avengers as he grew large again, traveled through time twice, and even had his photo snapped by good ol’ Spider-Man? You don’t?!?! Well it’s true! Not only did Godzilla have his very own 24-issue Marvel comic, but it’s ALL in continuity.
So come join Vince, Chris, and Kia as they relive the finale of this insane series (Godzilla: King of the Monsters #20-24) and see just how our big green dino-friend fit himself into the Marvel Universe.
