Listen as Matt discusses his comic influences, his writing and drawing process, his hilarious "Player None" and "Superdeformers" comics, and the lightning bolt of inspiration that led to the creation of Catbeard the Pirate. Aside from comics, Matt also recounts his recent experience attending Rifftrax Live, everybody shares their favorite episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and they talk about some recent trends in video games and the superhero movie genre.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Pilot

Join Lily and Scott as they review the first episode of ABC's hit show about a team of special agents, specially formed to investigate the strange happenings of the Marvel universe: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Listen as they discuss the history of one of comics' clunkiest acronyms, why comic book realities don't always translate well to live-action, why DC should have tied their shows to their cinematic universe, and why the resumption of the Mike Peterson storyline in episode 10, makes this show worth watching. Hey, have you heard about Tahiti? It's a special place.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Join Scott as he delves deep into the bleak dystopian future of the classic X-Men story: Days of Future Past! Listen as he compares and contrasts its original telling in the Uncanny X-Men comic books, the loose adaptation of the animated series Wolverine and the X-Men and the film X-Men: Days of Future Past, with an especially close look at the three episode arc from Fox's X-Men the animated series. What commonalities do these versions share? Why does Apocalypse always seem to pop up in these adaptations? Is this story just a Terminator rip-off? All these questions are answered and more! Plus an "interview" with "Stan Lee"! So transfer your mind elsewhere for a little while and enjoy the show!
