Comics Rule Everything Around Me: Episode 16 – The Good News!

Have you heard the good news?

Not only do Matt and I talk about all the exciting stuff going on in the world of comics (X-MEN! MCU Spider-Man News! Crisis on Infinite Earths!), but there’s also a fun/special milestone discussed at the very beginning of the show!

Lots of good times in this one and no mess-em-ups!

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!

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!
