There’s more than one way to skin an evil murderous robot. Vince, Chris, and Kia took a look back at a couple of classic Ultron stories written 30 years apart to see just how things have changed in the comic book world.

LISTEN in amazement as they discuss differences between the movies and the comics and try to wrap their heads around exactly what the heck is going on with the Avengers.

This episode: Avengers Vol. 1 #66-68 [1969], Avengers Vol. 3 #19-22 (Ultron Unlimited) [1999]

Next episode: Marvel’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters #20-24 [1979]

Kia and Vince have run of the asylum as Scott takes a break to celebrate his birthday (what a silly goose).  Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live celebrates Mother’s Day with Reese Witherspoon, hosting for the first time since 2001 (Amy Poehler’s first episode to be exact).

Plus: The return of SNL Trivia! The answers may surprise you!

The Best Skit of the Night honors went to the Southern Ladies skit for its quirkiness, oddly specific minutiae, and Kate McKinnon’s silly hair.

And with that, we’re just one episode away from the Season Finale and our “Best of Season 40 (Since We Started) Spectacular!”

The 2nd best skit of the night was Jay Pharaoh’s reaction to ScarJo spoiling the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.  Just…watch Pharaoh’s face.

In our first episode, we take a look at Daredevil: Born Again from Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.  Big bad nurses, stabby Santas, and bowling balls to the head. It’s all right here in Born Again.

We follow Matt Murdock as he gets more paranoid than we’ve ever seen him before and falls into a deep pit of depression. But hey, can you blame the guy? You’d be a wreck too if the Kingpin discovered your secret identity and dismantled your entire life.

Chris, Vince, and Kia go through this story and discuss classic villain tropes, comparisons to Batman, and decide once and for all whether it really deserves to be called a classic. All without giving away any spoilers for the new Netflix series, we promise!

If you want to read it for yourself, you can grab a digital version of this 7-issue story for $4.99 at Comixology, read it with your Marvel Unlimited subscription, or just grab it from Amazon.

Tuesday Morning Pod: Taraji P. Henson (Season 40, Episode 18)

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

tmp40-18Taraji P. Henson hosted this week’s Saturday Night Live, and boy, was Cookie a real Monster.

While an uneven episode, there was a little something for everyone – the return of Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton, QVC cat jokes, Empire/Sesame Street mashups, and super racist A League of Their Own parodies.

All that and more in this week’s Tuesday Morning Pod!

Overall, there were a lot of skits that were good premise, but not much payoff.  Even so, there were some fantastic belly laughs to be had.

This week’s Best Skit of the Night was a controversial decision.  It was Scott and Kia’s favorite, but definitely not Vince’s favorite (because Vince is a good feminist).  It was Teacher Trial.

Sorta Related: A 2008 Cars Short Ripped Off the Plot of Tokyo Drift

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

My son and I stumbled upon “Tokyo Mater”, a 2008 Cars short that basically just ripped off the plot of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, with Tow Mater as the Bama Boy racing to become the King of All Drift Racing / Drift King.

This was one year before the Fast & Furious franchise came back with a vengeance in 2009.  Which just makes me wonder…who at Pixar loved Tokyo Drift so much that they were able to greenlight an entire short?

It’s showtime! Michael Keaton hosts SNL for a very, very weird night. Guys, there were Dire Straits jokes. And Johnny Dangerously jokes! And cats dressed as Hillary Clinton!

Kia couldn’t make it onto this week’s record, but our good friend Chris Dobson from the Your Stupid Minds podcast guests on our latest episode.

Please listen and subscribe and then remember to call your grandmother!

The best skit of the night was Easter Candy, a very weird (no surprise) little skit.

Easter Candy is a recurring skit of an Ed Norton skit from last season. It’s also pretty funny!
