Episode 46: Speed Racer (2008)

Cowabunga dudes! Chad here and I'm totally psyched to talk about the rad racing realness that is Speed Racer (2008). With Jean-luc away at Star Wars camp, it's me Emily, Alex and Racer X in the cockpit of a T-130 for a full hour of thrills, chills and wacky racing! What does Chad really think about the U.S government? Does Emily have a secret alter ego? And is Alex a real person, or two Speed Racer (2008) Blu-Rays in a trench coat? All that I know is that I miss Jean-luc and I hope that he's thinking of us. XOXO - Chadley Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We're going back to the well for, you guessed it, the rest of New X-Men.

Episode 45: New X-Men, Part 1

We noticed it had been a few months since we talked about a Grant Morrison comic on the show, so naturally we had to remedy that. It's also been a minute since our last Marvel series, so we figured: why not New X-Men, a cornerstone of Marvel's turn of the century bounce back form bankruptcy? We covered the first four trades for this episode, so it's not a complete breakdown, but we discussed some of the newer characters, in particular Xorn, Angel, and Quentin Quire's crew. We also discovered Emily is a secret X-Men fan? Who knew! Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We're going back to the well for, you guessed it, the rest of New X-Men.

Episode 44: Video Game Adaptations

This week in the book club we subjected ourselves to the scourge of the comic book industry: video game adaptations. The crew checked out selections from Dishonored, Kingdom Hearts, and Overwatch, and discussed them individually as well as any broader trends they picked up on between the series. Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We kick off a month with everyone's favorite super-team, the X-Men, and everyone's favorite superhero comics writer, Grant Morrison.

Episode 43: Dungeon Meshi

The book club has reconvened in the manga aisle of Barnes & Noble and stumbled upon this little series called *checks notes* Delicious in Dungeon? Just kidding I know the actual Japanese of the manga is Dungeon Meshi. We also left Alex in the car for this trip to the book store and coincidentally ran into friend of the show Teese (@vicunad) who also coincidentally loves Dungeon Meshi. I'm going to drop this book store bit now. The crew discusses some of their critiques of the series, especially the early chapters, and how it eventually grows into something really special and exciting. They briefly touch on the newly released anime, and spend a good deal of time pontificating about eating the monsters themselves. Next, on Crying in the Book Club: The crew looks at a trio of video game adaptations: Overwatch, Dishonored, and Kingdom Hearts. This might be painful.

Episode 42: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

The book club is back and kicking off 2024 in style--with an episode recorded in 2023. That's right, we're on top of things such as "Scheduling" over here. And we're kicking off the new year with something special! Instead of talking about "comic" "books" we are instead talking about an animated television show. A motion comic, if you will. This episode, we discuss 2023's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, its take on the beloved source material, the return of the all-star cast from the live action movie, the animation, and everything in between. Also, Jean-Luc and Emily get excited about the multiple David Cronenberg references. It's a little lame but hopefully also endearing.

Episode 41: Invincible

This episode, the book club convenes to discuss the first three volumes of Robert Kirkman's coming of age superhero drama Invincible. It's a first time read for Emily and Alex, and a surprisingly pleasant revisit for Jean-Luc. The crew discusses Kirkman's take on superheroes, the series' humor, and a little bit about where it goes outside of the issues discussed. Next, on Crying in the Book Club: As a treat for the end of the year we branch outside of comics for the first time to discuss Netflix's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

Episode 40: Darth Vader

This Thanksgiving, we are all thankful for Darth Vader, the most beautiful man ever to grace our cinema screens. But did you know he got up to other quirky adventures in between the events of the Star Wars movies??? Well, he did, and Kieron Gillen wrote about some of them! And not just Darth Vader, but his besties Dr Aphra, Triple 0, and BT-1. Oh and Black Krrrsantan! I can never remember how to spell that. But they're all Darth Vader's friends and they do hot girl shit together (regime change operations). Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We read the first three arcs of Robert Kirkman's Invincible.

Episode 39: Jeff Lemire's Animal Man

Spooky season may have ended, but horror is year round. So for this episode, the book club turns their sites to 2011 and the reboot that got Alex and Jean-Luc into comics: The New 52 run of Animal Man. There's a lot to be said about the art, but also Jeff Lemire juggling traditional superheroics with horror and slice of life elements. Next, on Crying in the Book Club: The crew heads to a galaxy far, far away for the 2015 Darth Vader comic. Our theme music was composed by our wonderful friend Gwyn.
