Comics Rule Everything Around Me: Episode 15 – This Comic… This Bummer?!

Whatta revoltin’ development

This week, Matt & I are back to have a number of shockingly out of date (but still fun and/or salty!) discussions about comics you’ve probably already forgotten!

We talk about Grant Morrison’s Green Lantern, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Batman ’66 on Blu-ray, Shazam, the X-Men, and a whole bunch more!

Can your heart stand the shock and wonder of this our 15th incredible episode of Comics Rule Everything Around Me!

Please enjoy this wonderful video about the Jeff Smith Shazam! series we discuss in this week’s episode!

Episode 28 – Movies Long, Trailers Short!

Welcome to 2019!

My good buddy Matt Drane and I are back talking about all kinds of things!

As you can see from the cover, there’s an in-depth look at the latest Captain Marvel trailer, a lot of comic movie talk, the imagined frustrations of writing big time comics, and how reading comics can be like riding the world’s worst roller-coaster!

SHOW NOTES!

Corey Smithmier did the show’s closing music “Let’s Be Friends Again: The Series Theme Song”. Corey’s got a band called Strange Wave Connection and you should check them out!

Episode 27 – Smash Bros Assemble!

It’s our 27th episode!

This week my buddy Matt Drane is back and we talk about Super Smash Bros, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Avengers 4 (aka Endgame) rumors, Batman: The Animated Series, the return of Young Justice, the DC Universe streaming entertainment platform, a Superman video game that will probably never get made, and a bunch of other stuff. You’d honestly be better off just listening to the episode at this point.

We hope you enjoy it!

SHOW NOTES!

Please watch this tribute to Captain America in the MCU and just try to say he’s not the absolute best of the best of the best.

Episode 25 – Video Games!

It’s our 25th episode!

WARNING: I start this episode by saying it’s going to be another episode of Comics Rule Everything Around Me, but this turns out to not be the case, and it is instead a new episode of plain ol’ Keep It Close To Me where my buddy Matt and I talk about video games!

We talk about a lot of video games, actually. A lot are comic/superhero related, but there’s a surprise or two in there as well.

We also try to answer some deeply personal questions like “Does being bad at video games make you feel bad about yourself?”

We hope you enjoy it!

Let us know if we got things wrong, what video games you love, and anything else that springs to mind while listening to this episode!

SHOW NOTES!

Here’s an excruciating playthrough of the first level of Superman 64 and a fun video about the history of how one of the worst games of all time happened.

If you’ve never seen it, here’s the Super Mario Bros. 3 commercial I mention this episode. It really pulls off the double magic trick of making SMB3 seem both exciting and like a very big deal without showing a second of gameplay.

Superman for the Nintendo! What could go wrong?

A lot!

Comics Rule Everything Around Me – Episode 6: The Podcast Curse!

Matt is back to talk about Venom #150, Tom King’s run on Batman, Memphis’ recent bad weather, what’s happening in Secret Empire (Spoilers!), X-O Manowar and how much I enjoy Valiant Comics, and some artists get put on blast! Very, very gentle blast.

If you wanna check out The Valiant (which I mention favorably in the show), you can get it for very cheap in digital or physical formats on Amazon!

It’s our second episode of the new series that was made a reality by listeners like you that helped the show reach it’s first monthly Patreon goal!

Longtime LBFA/GFG fans will recognize our very special guest as the one and only original White Lantern, Joe Martini!

Joe and I talk about Superman, DC Rebirth, kissing Spider-Man and Wolverine, our favorite Three 6 Mafia songs, and a whole lot more!

These are the Spider-Ham and Ren & Stimpy comics Joe and I mention in the episode! Both of these covers are so burned into my brain!
