Podcast - Episode 88: Let's Talk About Marvel

Oh, Marvel. Why can't you just stop saying dumb things?

David Gabriel says that fans are complaining about too much diversity in their books, and Axel Alonso says no one cares about artists (I am paraphrasing heavily here). Dave and I have some other ideas about what might be causing Marvel's sales slump.

I was going to post a bunch of terrible panels from Thunderbolts #11 here, but why beat a dead horse? Hopefully my beloved Bucky will find himself in a better looking book soon.

It's a fun episode! I can't think of much to post this week. Enjoy!

Podcast - Episode 87: The Power of Nostalgia

The release of the new Power Rangers movie has gotten us thinking about the power of nostalgia, which seems to be the driving force behind everything these days. As our generation replaces the baby boomers as the target demographic for all nostalgic pandering, Dave and I are pondering this strange hold that things we enjoyed in our childhood has on us.

But, more importantly, Jeremy Renner released an app this past week. And it is SOMETHING ELSE.

I will never understand how these stars you can purchase work. Apparently you use them, after you buy them with REAL MONEY, to show your support for your favourite posts? To let Renner know you are his real, true fan? Gross.

Anyway, the app is worth downloading just so you can get this message when you delete it:

But enough about that wiener. Let's look at this shirtless bathroom selfie that Sebastian Stan posted:

Yes. Yesssssssssss.

Again, this seems wildly out of character for our boy. But for a first attempt, I am impressed. I mean, yes, he could have taken a second to move that fancy bottle of blue handsoap out of the foreground. And maybe move or block the 'slippery floor' sign in the background. Maybe tug the waistband of those Calvin Kleins down a little bit...maybe take the sweatpants clean off...

But overall, very good effort. And if this is just his 'en route to Winter Soldier' body, well...

To be fair, I can achieve that same effect of the underarm muscle wings by wearing a bra that is too small.

Anyway, he is lovely. Please post one of these a week, my darling.

Ok, enjoy the episode everyone! Rate us on iTunes if you have a second!

I invite you to join Dave and me for a KONGversation!

We saw KONG: SKULL ISLAND, and we talk a bit about that. And Dave has put together a history of King Kong in comic books.

But before all of that, we talk about important things like the newly released images of THOR: RAGNAROK. Like this one:

Oof. Yes please.

Podcast - Episode 84: Logan

What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than to talk about the latest, and please God final, Wolverine movie, LOGAN?

Also, because it's International Women's Day, I'm gonna totally phone in this blog post and fill the rest of it with pictures of hunks! Enjoy!

Armie, you dapper son of a bitch. Oh! And you've brought me a gin and tonic! How darling of you! I would like to join this Armie. Sign me the hell up. I'll do many consecutive tours.

Oh, Christopher. With your perfect beard and your Canadian tuxedo and your mild hangover (probably). Let's go somewhere. 

Byung-hun Lee. You are far too hot to not be the star of every North American movie. Look at you, with your perfect face and silky hair and flawless body. So engrossed in my Instagram account you don't even notice that your towel is slipping.

Aw, honey. Is your swimsuit all bunchy? It just seems to be caught on...something. It's really...got a tight grip on you, enveloping you in slick wetness...

I know, Sebastian sweetie. It's cold. And you thought going to work in just some fancy, low-riding sweatpants and a medallion would be warm enough, but alas. Good thing I had this spare fleece throw.

Michael B. Jordan (the "B" stands for buhwuhhrngggg), I can't believe you spilled your LaCroix all over yourself AGAIN! Come here, I'll get you cleaned up.

Alex, darling. I didn't see Tarzan. But I look at this still from that film every day. 

Trevante...you are my new favourite. I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but you may step into my office now. Thank you for dressing appropriately.

Ohhhh Henry. I love you and your super casual, perfectly-lit work-out photos. 

Look at these adorable boyfriends. I will absolutely join you boys in a minute.

Oh, why not a little classic Paul Newman in the mix?

And let's finish with a slo-mo gif of Chris Evans running his fingers sexily through his hair, with bonus foreground Anthony Mackie.

If I were that interviewer I would be like "What can we expect from Captain America in the upcomin-buuuuuuuuuh..."

Podcast - Episode 83: X-Men Movies VS MCU Movies

Look, I'm aware that a dumb list of reasons why the X-Men movies are better than the MCU movies is not really worth the amount of scorn or attention that we give it in this episode, but, well...we're all on edge these days and sometimes you just have to find an outlet.

Allow me to submit to you this image of Robbie Amell, my current choice for Nightwing:

Right? 

What else...OH! That stupid Jeremy Renner Instagram post! Get ready for your eyes to bleed!

Daily prayer for unity #roughroad #strangedays #smallthingsmatter #beActiveNotReactive

I mean...my god.

Let's end this with a picture of Chris Evans on the red carpet at the Oscars with his sister, because awwwwwwwwww:
