Some of My Friends Read Comics 049 – Wolverine: Old Man Logan

somfrc049

Old Man Hawkeye. I mean… wait… Old Man Logan, a comic book about Venom-Dinos, Dumb Hulks, and the Red Skull doing creepy Captain America cosplay. And Wolverine was kind of in it too.

It’s a goofball buddy comedy road trip for the ages!

First vs Last 02 – Raiders of the Lost Ark vs Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

fvl-02

On the 2nd episode of First vs Last, we go back to a simpler time when everybody agreed that Nazis were bad and worthy of punching.  Chris and Kimberly join Vince to discuss the film history of everyone’s favorite whip-wielding community college professor: Indiana Jones!

We’ll look at the much beloved Raiders of the Lost Ark and compare it to 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull — which if you ask the internet, was the worst movie ever made!

Also covered: Reddit’s top fan theories, which panelist’s dad REALLY wants to be Indiana Jones in real life, and was Crystal Skull doomed to be a hated film from the start?

Everybody’s favorite Baldwin brother hosted SNL for a record 17th time!

Leslie Jones tries to steal the Donald Trump gig, Chester Cheetah becomes Danielle Cheetah, and the show closes on three minutes of farts!

Also, Vince gives a report on what it’s like to actually watch Saturday Night Live “live”, something our hosts haven’t done this decade.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 048 – Flash by Mark Waid

somfrc048

For being one of DC’s most important heroes, we sure haven’t given the Flash much attention.

We tried to remedy that by reading a classic Mark Waid story from the early 90s called The Return of Barry Allen, a story that manages to encompass every generation of the Flash.

You’ll get the modern Flash, Wally West. You’ll get the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. And, of course, you’ll get the return of the titular Silver Age Flash… unless there’s a plot twist of some sort… but don’t worry, I’m sure that won’t happen…

Saturday Night Love S42E13 – Kristen Stewart

snl42-13

What’s up, my radical moose lambs?!?  Chris hangs out with Kia & Vince to talk about Kristen Stewart’s episode of Saturday Night Live!

Also, the boys disagree about the value of prop comedy, wonder how that egg did not crack, and bring together a beautiful spirit of togetherness that makes us all a part of humanity.

Buckle up, my hungry guys, this episode’s a little Rocky.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 047 – Black Panther by Christopher Priest

somfrc047

Can you believe the Black Panther is getting his own movie? Twenty years ago, most people had never even heard of him and now everyone’s going crazy for him!

To see where his rise began, we’re reading the late 90s reboot that put him on the map, written by Christopher Priest with beautiful painted art by Mark Texeira who is NOT the 1st baseman for the Texas Rangers.

Join us as we check out the first five issues!

First vs Last 01 – Super Mario Kart vs Mario Kart 8

first-vs-last-logo

We’re pleased to announce our newest show: FIRST VS LAST! FIRST VS LAST covers long-running music and videogame franchises by discussing at length the first and most recent entries of the series.

FIRST VS LAST seeks to answer questions like: How have characters, storytelling techniques, and plot points changed over the years? Did the series change focus over its sequels? What series mainstays were there from the beginning, and what was added over later entries?

Our first episode covers the long-running Mario Kart videogame series. Vince and special guest Cody start with 1992’s Super Mario Kart (for the Super Nintendo) and compare it to 2014’s Mario Kart 8 (for the Wii U).

Listen as Vince and Cody are surprised to see how much of the Mario Kart formula was right there from the start (like the lightning bolt, Lakitu saving you when you fall off a cliff, and freaking Rainbow Road), and what things went away and came back (picking up coins on the track).

Along the way, they cover when the pesky blue shell was added, when the battle mode stopped being a major focus, and the rise of online gaming. Also, they talk about their favorite kart racing games that sprung up in the Mario Kart wake (Diddy Kong Racing: Yay! / Star Wars Super Bombad Racing: Boo!)!

Saturday Night Love S42E11 – Felicity Jones

snl42-11

We’re back from the holidays with a new episode of SATURDAY NIGHT LOVE!  This time, we’re talking about Star Wars star Felicity Jones and what we feel was a particularly mediocre episode.

We also talk Beck Bennett’s Beard Hunk and Prince.  And what’s Donald Trump’s Sunday morning routine?  And how do we feel about Tina Fey calling us out?
