Some of My Friends Read Comics 004 – JLA by Grant Morrison

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment


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.

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.”

Some of My Friends Read Comics 003 – Godzilla Fights the Fantastic Four and Avengers

Vincent Goodwin1 Comment

Elton John and Tim Rice with awards for song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - 1994 (67th)

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.

Elton John and Tim Rice with awards for song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - 1994 (67th)

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]

Tuesday Morning Pod: Reese Witherspoon (Season 40, Episode 20)

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!”

Start your morning on the right side of the bed with Tuesday Morning Pod!  It’s been 3 weeks, but Scott and Vince are back to talk about Scarlett Johansson’s 4th time hosting.  Join us to hear our thoughts on Weekend Update’s recent improvements, ScarJo and Pete Yorn’s band, and if anyone can have more fun with wigs than Taran Killam. Also, Vince stumps Scott with some SNL and Baseball Trivia.

The best skit of the night was the Black Widow trailer.

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