Bad Seeds Week 3: Officer Gordon Gets Into the Action

The third week of Bad Seeds was a tie-in with Gotham Central. I wasn't sure what to expect with this title, and was pleasantly surprised to find it centered former Commissioner Jim Gordon on patrol car duty and investigating a big case-- while a familiar figure from his distant past makes unwelcome return. It was a fun read!

Epic Relationship Fumbles in Fiction

A fumble is one of the most painful plays in football, and when it comes to fiction, there's no tougher pill to swallow than the hero dropping the ball with a fantastic love interest. We've all been there, and this episode I share the five that stayed with me the most. Let me know if you have any that should have made the list, eh?

The Olympians Graphic Novels; A Divine Introduction to Greek Myths

I recently discovered the Olympians graphic novel series by George O'Connor and it's a fantastic introduction to Greek Myths, both for children and older fans too. I also discuss some of the revisionist aspects that really panned out for the series.

Bad Seeds Week 2 Recap + unpacking the response to Week 1

Week 2 of Bad Seeds is here; I recap the story from Batman #13 and the start of a two-issue Batgirl tie-in. I also discuss a recent interview with Poison Ivy author Willow Wilson, who shared some thoughts on the saga so far...

Bad Seeds Recap: Week 1- Prelude and Sunset

The 10-week Bad Seeds crossover event is underway, This big crossover brings a number of storylines from the Poison Ivy series to a head; I recap and offer my thoughts on the story thus far...

Introduction to Genius; My Warren Zevon playlist

By some accounts, Warren Zevon considered himself a novelty musician. He was long seen as a one-hit wonder in media discourse. But his music was real and it connects with many, building a cultlike following that eventually got him voted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Which is awesome, but Warren Zevon knew how to rock and roll like few people who have ever lived. In this episode I share my Zevon playlist for people who want to spread the good word about The Offender and his brilliant music.

Five Star Film; The Big Sleep Brings the Heat with Smart Writing and Star Power

Raymond Chandler, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall-- the Big Sleep is a sharply written Noir classic that's equal parts gumshoe investigation, slow burn romance, and thirsty fever dream. If you've never seen a noir and are wondering what the fuss was all about, this is a pretty good place to start.

The Bad Seeds Predictions and Probabilities

DC is launching a massive 10-week crossover event this week. Normally I'm not into those, but this one has Pamela Lillian Isley at the center of things, so I'm all in. In this podcast I take my best guesses on what is likely to happen in the series, and also share my dream scenario from when this thing was announced... Let me know if you're excited about the crossover-- or if you liked it!

The Canada Episode: 12 Great Things from Canada

Longtime host Nathan finished the summer with a weekend in Quebec-- the perfect time to discuss favorite things from Canada. In this on-location podcast, I cover favorite book, video game, comics, and more, and even throw in some hockey talk, eh?

The Leadup for Bad Seeds: What you need to know about DC's next big crossover

I've read the entire Poison Ivy series through 45 issues, and most of the stories she's appeared in over the past 60 years. One could say I'm fairly qualified to weigh-in on DC's next big crossover event. In this episode, I discuss events from the past six months of Poison Ivy, which very clearly build toward this event. I also put it into context of the series as a whole. I also discuss how likely it is Pamela goes into this one as a clear cut villain and her percentage chances of crashing out once again (sad face emoji). I also discuss how I'm happy with what Willow Wilson has done with this series, regardless of what happens in Bad Seeds. She can only add to the legacy at this point, in my book.
