So, we were supposed to do a real episode, but Euge’s computer decided to majorly crash a day before he was going out of town. So after a night of recovering all of the stuff necessary to record and process a podcast, we cobbled together this mini-live-to-tape episode, just to keep our Cal Ripken-esque streak going (note: we have no Ripken-esque streak).
Got no time for show notes this week (I’m literally catching a ride out of town in…uhh, five hours?..and have to go sleep). Our apologies to our scheduled guest, Phil Hester. Hopefully we’ll have him on the show soon, but check back next week for Marvel editor, Nate Cosby!
Shameless Self Promotion:

The Foreigner’s tagline, for Euge: “I’m not from here, I have my own customs, Look at my crazy passport!”
I know Sims has seen this, but since you brought him up, I present you one of my favorite ISS things ever, “Ask Abobo”:

Chris on sound effects. DEAL WITH IT
I don’t really think that Longbow Hunters or Final Crisis are well-regarded enough to qualify as overrated, no matter how bad they might be (I haven’t read Final Crisis, but I doubt I’d like it). DKR also seems to me to have too large a swathe of detractors to really qualify. For me I think the most overrated thing I’ve actually read was the Long Halloween, I’d also include Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men as pretty over-rated.
Chris I think THE BOULDER has to make it into a special earth nation edition of Wrestler Wisdom
That prankster of a hater/friend of urs is still very disturbing, Euge. Watch ur back jack.
For the Jimmy Corrigan segment, all I can say is…Big Ups.
“Playa Hata” by The Luniz is a pretty great haters song.
Or you could cross genres and go with the opening lines of “Idiot Wind” by Bob Dylan.
Hell yes! I got namechecked twice in this episode! I feel like I just leveled up in some shameful way I can never tell anyone about!
(for the record, I’d have guessed you’d eat Kevin Church first. Also that Rick Remender would be chowing down on longpig before the plane was even out of peanuts, just because he could!)
Euge, I’m with you on New Frontier. I really love Darwyn Cooke’s art – well, if it’s at a size that I can appreciate, hence why I own the Absolute Edition – but his storytelling in that series was all over the place and was really mainly a love letter to the era. Which is fine, but you could see so much potential in things like the John Henry segment for a better story than what we got. It only “kind of” did its job of marrying the beginning of the Silver Age with the newfound optimism that America was heading into.
It’s an average story with beautiful art that could have used tons more focus.
A great hater song: 4-ize – Do it for the haters
I havent had my wisdom teeth out yet either, Sims. It sucks.
