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.

What's happening at the end? Bea Arthur? All of these questions are answered and many, many more. Also, Shawn calls in from his sick bed to share his thoughts as well. This was quite the experience.

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!

Join Lily, Shawn, Scott, and special guest Hamish as they sit down for a bonus episode of Hitting Play to discuss Australian TV and films, especially the great series Danger 5. Listen to Hamish's interesting tale of how his funny and creative Danger 5-themed Vines caught the attention of the show's creators, and how his fandom ultimately earned him an invite to meet the cast and crew and appear in an episode!
He'll also help the crew properly pronounce Canberra, accidentally create a concept for an Australian Michael Bay film, and compare the current state of television in Australia and the U.S. So sit back with a hot prawn cocktail, pour yourself a tomato ketchup daiquiri, and enjoy the show!
