Deep Space Nine, part 1

The episode years in the making! Annaliese has finally gotten over her issues with Star Trek and has begun watching Deep Space Nine. She and her dad do a halfway point check-in to see how things are going and make some softball predictions about what's coming next.

Action Comics, part 1

As a way to share one of his life experiences, Carlin is jumping on the Brian Michael Bendis bandwagon as he takes over Superman comics. This is the first in a series of podcast episodes that will detail Carlin and Dashiell's journey reading Superman comics. First up, is the on-ramp to the Bendis takeover as they read Action Comics 993-998.

Silver Surfer by Dan Slott and Mike Allred

Carlin recently bought and read the entire Dan Slott and Mike Allred Silver Surfer run from Marvel Comics. And as he was reading it...he knew he would have to share this Doctor Who-like run on the series with Annaliese. And they basically saved their post-reading conversation for this installment of the podcast. Toomey, my podcast player!

Green Lantern Day

Carlin and Dashiell have a "Green Lantern Day" and watch two animated movies and the live action Ryan Reynolds GL movie.

The Films of Ed Wood

It's a podcast crossover! After discussing Tim Burton's Ed Wood on a recent episode of Mystery Movie Night, David and Michael decided to watch the three movies talked about in that film: Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster, and Plan 9 from Outer Space. Were they as fun as Burton made them look? Or as bad as their reputation? David knows!

Batman (1989)

Annaliese finally watched the 1989 Batman movie. What does she think of this historic comic book film? Does it even mean anything to someone who lives in a world where 10 comic book movies are released each year?

Dragonfly Ripple, Episode 17: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and Ernest Saves Christmas

"Ho! Ho! Ho!" everybody! It's the Dragonfly Ripple Holiday Special! Carlin and Michael start the show talking about Christmas movies and TV specials that they grew up with. Which have stood the test of time? Which are still annual must-watches?

Then, when Annaliese and David join in, they discuss a couple of specific Christmas productions from Jim Henson and Ernest P Worrell. And on a special Jetpack Tiger, Dashiell flies solo to talk about the experience of learning The Truth about Santa. There are SPOILERS about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy as well, so be careful about listening around young ears.

Finally, the gang talks about which nerdy Christmas ornaments they wish existed to hang on their trees.
