Wed, 26 August 2009 In this bumper episode Steve and Scott start with some news, mostly about James Cameron's and Felicia Day's respective Avatars.
Then they embark on a discussion about censorship. How has it been done in comics in the past? Is it always a bad thing, or are there times when some level of censorship is appropriate? Let us know your thoughts.
Finally they discuss a Hidden Gem. The miniseries V from 1983, created by Kenneth Johnson, it's an epic story following the human resistance in the aftermath of an alien invasion.
Some of the audio quality isn't great in this episode, but by episode 57 Scott will be back in England so things should be cleared up.

Wed, 19 August 2009 Scott is still overseas in Canada (slowly inching his way onto the set of Caprica, so watch for him in the background when it airs!) whilst Steve is back home protecting old Blighty from pirates.In this episode there is the return of a couple of old favourites, but before that we kick off with some News and Reviews. Afterwards we get back to basics with Challenge Scott, where Steve pitches three new comics to Scott and tries to get him interested in at least one of them to go and pick it up. After that it's the return of a Guilty Pleasure, where once again one of us steps into the confessional and asks the listeners and their co-host for understanding and forgiveness. This time it's Scott's turn to try and convince Steve about a film that he likes but perhaps, shouldn't. We'll be discussing Slaughterhouse 5 in Episode 60, so if you've read it already, send us your comments via email, or post them on the forum and we'll try to include them in the show. Comments[0] |
Fri, 7 August 2009 Steve is keeping England safe whilst Scott is touring planet Caprica, but they triumph over the timezone differences to re-unite for episode 54. After some news and reviews the rest of the episode focuses on the CBO book club where we talk about 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. Part philosophy, part supernatural thriller and part love-letter to smalltown America.
At the end of the episode we reveal our new book club title, a classic from the 1960s.Comments[0] |
