This week on Comics and Chronic we’re marking our milestone 300th episode with Zack Snyder’s 300 based off the cult classic graphic novel by Frank Miller.
In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy.
We made it to episode 300 despite Cody’s sabotage attempts at a comedy festival & Anthony’s desire to change our name. But first Jake learns how to correctly pronounce Bon Iver. This movie is stacked with actors such as Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, Michael Fassbender, & others. Is this movies ableist? This is a dude’s DUDE movie. Men killing, sweaty CGI and, boobies, murder, blood, wolves, cripples everything a man needs to see to feel like a man. Also gave rise to one of cinema’s most famous lines: “THIS IS SPARTA!” This is easily o e of or if not Zack Snyder’s best movie. Some great fight scenes and cinematography even with the CGI. It’s also almost page for page the comic 300. Could the Hot Boys have held the hot gates? Where does 300 rank on Zack Snyder’s movies with fans? Anthony’s childhood is similar to that of a boy’s childhood in 300? Did this movie destroy what the ideal male body should look like? How does this movie age now that we’re no longer hormonal teenage boys? Tune in today for our milestone 300th episode!

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
