Comedian Mike Lawrence joins us for this week’s show to talk about doing comedy at comic conventions, being heckled by the Hulk, telling jokes about wrestling and comics in clubs, the Clone Saga being like cocaine, who’ll win the Royal Rumble even though it already happened last night, whether superhero movies make it easier to do comedy about comics, and much more!

Just in regards to the sea chanteys in Assassin’s Creed IV: there’s an album that came out 6 years ago that shares many of them. It’s hit and miss like any anthology is, but just in case you want to check it out, here’s an iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/rogues-gallery-pirate-ballads/id307960938
Jeremy Parish, writer of Anatomy of a Game (or at least the main writer and editor, not sure) is a known quantity on the internet. He makes a pretty awesome podcast along with two other guys called Retronauts, which goes through the history of various videogames each episode. It’s good stuff!
