Sorry for the delay folks but we're finally back to wrap up *checks notes* Captain Marvel Part 3? Or is this Shazam? Yeah we waste no time in this episode addressing the elephant in the room: What the heck do we call this character? Kriss & Dpalm have varying opinions but one thing that is agreed upon is that this is all DC's fault. They destroyed Fawcett because the "Superman Clone" was more popular than Superman, then tried to re...
Kriss, Ro and Brandon review Jordan Peele's latest film, Us. This is a film that's difficult to process after just one viewing. Peele plays with the horror genre that feels both as a homage and something completely new. It's a contradiction of a mainstream yet niche film. The weird and confusing parts don't distract from the entertainment value and great performances. Lupita Nyong'o puts in one hell of a performance and she's not a...
The Flash has done a great job this season fixing a lot of the issues we've had with previous seasons. Even down to timing episodes right so they fit with breaks. Nora having to reveal that....scratch that...Sherlocke revealing that Nora has been working with Thawne and Barry putting her in the Pipeline is the perfect way to go into a break. Add in the way they keep evolving the threat of Cicada and they're hitting on all cylinders...
We had to double up on Arrow episodes this week. First in Training Day, the SCPD (out of all the incompetent fictional police departments) has the audacity to try to get Oliver and the team to follow their procedures. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Then in Star City 2040, Mia Smoak wants all the smoke. Plus, Rene of the future snitches at least 2 times this episode. It's in his DNA.
Also, we're quickly approaching the end ...
Listen to me now, believe me later! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!? I TOLD Y'ALL IT WAS EVE!
And now we know it was under the direction of Lex, who has now pulled together his iconic Tessmacher/Otis sidekick lineup. My ship has sailed with a long awaited kiss betwee...
Kriss, Ro & Brandon review the weird but entertaining and engaging film from Milorad Krstic, Ruben Brandt, Collector. This is Krstic's first feature film and it's pretty damn good. It's also weird. Very very weird. The use of famous artwork and the animation style to tell a heist story is innovative. The film is like an animated version of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. Yeah...it's that crazy. It's definitely not for everyone but i...
Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover the last couple week's dose of insanity in the world. This week he's joined once again by Justin from ThreeFifsPodcast. There's plenty to talk about with the biggest thing being: Rich White People paying in the dumbest way possible for their dumb kids to get into elite colleges.
Topics:
Like Nicholas J. Fury, Shanna has assembled a team of Carol Corps experts to discuss the new Captain Marvel film. We talk moments that inspired and thrilled and put our vaginas right up in the controversy surrounding Brie Larson (how's that #AlitaChallenge going?).
Don't forget to follow our special guests, Sarah (@Roborangutang) and Maria (@solusandra) on Twitter for great comic book insights.

Kriss and Dpalm are back to review the latest episode of The Flash (sorry for the delay in getting it out). We really are loving this season and how everything is coming together. This season has been doing a great job of keeping Cicada an interesting and challenging villain while also having the Thawne threat around the corner. And the twist with the second Cicada now has us asking all kinds of questions (Time travel? Another Eart...
First things first. Kriss will probably be kicked off this podcast and removed from having editorial control over the title of episodes as well as episode art. Anyway, Star Trek Discovery Season 2 continues to be amazing and continues to surprise us. We're starting to get episodes that connect to the Short Treks from before the season as well as connecting all the previous episodes to the search for Spock & the mystery of the Red A...
Another great episode but can anyone explain why Kara left the Fortress hide a key under a snow rock exposed next to the keyhole? Clark needs to come back and repossess his property!
This week we get another exciting episode as Manchester Black continues to ramp up the mayhem with his Elite, Lena digs deeper into her project, under some deadline that is driving her to isolate and singularly focus, Dreamer stays ramped up on 10, an...
The same week that LeBron passed MJ on the all time scoring list, Antonio Brown won, and the Robert Kraft story takes twists and turns that I predicted, I've got Rich fro PWTorch to talk all the news and notes around the sports world and get our first peek at Wrestlemania 35.

Arrow is back and we're having any more questions about what goes horribly wrong to give us the future we see in the flash forwards. William says he never knew about Mia because Oliver and Felicity stopped contacting him when he moved in with his grandparents but we see that Oliver tried to contact William (a lot) but never got a call back. And why is Connor saying he's Diggle's adopted son and not his biological son? And why is Di...

Kriss, Ro, Brandon and Ashley review the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain Marvel. This is Marvel's first solo film for a female character and they do a pretty good job. Brie Larson does a great job (despite all the white fanboy hate prior to the film) and really owns the role of Carol. We also talk about how Lashana Lynch and Akira Akbar should be getting more praise for their roles in this film and how the...
The Flash is finally back from a small break and Dpalm & Kriss are here to pick right back up with the review. This was a fun episode. Clearly the show has been working on it's CG cause an episode had both King Shark and Gorilla Grodd looking pretty good. Also, as a bit of a tangent, the epic meeting between these two gets Kriss & Dpalm to talk about their VERY RATIONAL fear of bears...aka land sharks. Other things we liked in this...
Hey everyone! I'm back in 2019 with the talented Dana Morgan, of Danique Events who is a full time event planner and a cosplay photographer in Atlanta Ga. Check out how dope she is with Gothic Storm, Domino and Blackheart

In the second episode of I Talk Shit & Read, I spent some time with L.L. McKinney (aka Elle) about her debut novel A Blade So Black.
Guest: L. L. McKinney
Because the Twitterverse has no chill, we started off discussing an online controversy surrounding a YA novel, Blood Heir, the author eventually decided to pull in order to address racially problematic elements in the writing. (I wanted to hyperlink to an article about...
We got all the faves back this week! Ben Lockwood reminds folks that even though he's a professor what you will NOT do is think you can come for his throne. Ben basically told the wannabe usurpers to put some respect on his name. It's interesting watching Ben navigating what conferred legitimacy means to a grassroots movement, even if it is steeped in bigotry and exclusiveness. Kara and the Superfriends (Brainy, Nia as Dreamer,...
