EPISODE 64: JUPITER CONFUSING
When Doug and Dirty A checked out Jupiter Ascending on a free screening, they were joined by friend of the show, author Matt King, so it made perfect sense to have Matt swing by and discuss the Wachowskis’ latest…uh…”film.” Then, as is usually the case when Matt stops by, the discussion turns to comic book movie and TV news. Please keep in mind that this episode was recorded PRIOR to the big Spider-Man news that broke this week, but we’ll be visiting that topic in Episode 66 next week. Take a listen! Continue reading

EPISODE 57: HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
