Awesome episode! US-1= Rad…Superman= Total dickhead.
Hey, pretty good.
good episode. So has the Big Ups to All My Haters segment just been cancelled completely? I don’t remember an announcement, but I could have missed it.
OK, Chris said he’s not looking at getting anything at Comicon? Not even the official G.I.Joe Sgt. Slaughter figure? With slaughter himself appearing in person at the Hasbro booth? For shame, Chris.

Maybe my life sucks bu I’m on my 3rd time trying to download this and it finally took. The first half was awesome, can’t wait to listen to the interview.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who appreciates Ghostbusters 2. While the first one is far and away the better of the two (heck, it’s one of the best comedies ever), 2 is still a good movie. Especially with Peter “Vy am I drippings vit goo?” MacNicol in it.
Plus it had one of the greatest songs in movie history: Bobby Brown’s On Our Own.

May I suggest the opening question being “Which is better: Ghostbusters 2 or Back to the Future 2?” I think this will cause less Scanners like head explosions.
It’s actually through the-isb that I started reading Atomic Robo. By far my favorite indie comic.
