It’s been a weird week for Euge. So when shit gets real on War Rocket Ajax, Chris and Euge do an Edit-Free Ajax Bonus Round, answer listener questions, and just when you think the show’s over….they go to Cuba and blow a bunch of stuff up. Maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.
The Rundown
Take a moment to join the Adam WarRock facebook fan page and help me out. Again, thank you so much to everyone who’s said amazingly nice things to me this week. You guys can’t know how much it means to me.
Join the movement: SAVE MOCKTOPUS! We love Max Huffman and only want him to be able to make webcomics to the best of his ability. Chris and I have supported him, as well as a number of listeners to the show. But if you haven’t, go give! It will make your heart grow three times bigger.
It’s a show that’s as familiar as your Sunday Morning Newspaper Comics section, when Josh Fruhlinger of the Comics Curmudgeon chats with the crew. Hear us talk about Funky Winkerbean, Apt. 3G, Beetle Bailey, and why they all suck while we continue to love them. Also, Chris takes on a slew of haters and we talk about Iron Man 2. It’s an Episode 30 blowout!
The Rundown

With the skill of gymnastics, and the kill of karate, Matt Singer, host of the IFC.com podcast and on-air host of IFC news, joins us to talk about his lifelong scholarly pursuit of watching and discussing the cinematic merit of Gymkata. We also talk about his time interning with Troma Entertainment, and comics reviews!
Tom Katers, of Tom vs. the Flash, Tom vs. the JLA, Around Comics and iFanboy, joins us for the whole episode as we talk about D&D, Miley Cyrus, Silver Age comics, and well…anything else that comes up. This guy knows what I’m talkin’ about, right?

I’m pretty sure you can find “Party and Bullshit in the USA” if you use your industriousness on the web. It’s a great mashup, shouldn’t be missed. Here’s the Adam WarRock song that I made out of “Party in the USA.”
Hit Me! Back at it, talking about a ton of comics, and rapping with guest writer and artist Ryan Dunlavey about philosophers, MODOK, and new jack swing. All of you go to your rooms.

Remember, Rusty‘s doing an in-store at Superfly Comics in the Yellow Springs, OH area on 5/1/10 (Free Comic Book Day). Stop by and say hi.
Yes, we now know that it’s from a James Brown song. Fraction‘s response when we told him we didn’t know that was calling us “fucking philistines.”
Check out Brandon Vs. Magic for the theme song I did for his video podcast, Play, Trade or Bury.
Euge and Chris are back this week, and we mostly just talk about nonsense. Comics come up, sorta. It’s a shorter episode with new theme lyrics and more twitter questions than you can shake a stick at.
MIRACLES:
