Episodes
Josh and Leia put the entire Graphically Novel Board of Directors together to do our unexpected finale to Season 6! Bear and Jennifer Howland join us to talk about Who Is the Red Hulk? Spoiler: this comic doesn't answer that question. HOWEVER we have tons of ridiculous Hulk fun including an appearance by Josh's favorite incarnation of Hulk - Joe Fix-It!
See you all in Season 7!
Josh and Leia are joined by the Baronessah, Jennifer Howland, to talk about the first story arc in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run! They talk about the not-so-subtle comparisons between mutants and the gay struggle, give proper respect to Mr. Sinister and Leia learns to love Emma Frost.
Leia and Josh welcome back one of their favorite guests, Dixie Cochrane, to finish out their three part series on Gotham City Sirens. A lot of talk about cozy video games, the bimbofication of Harley Quinn and this series unfortunately takes a wet fart of an ending.
Leia and Josh are joined by new guest Tim Hardwick to talk the 2006 story Spider-Man Reign! An alternate future sees an old Peter Parker in his new quest to save New York - also includes THAT SCENE. If you don't know what we're talking about, come find out!
Josh and Leia are joined by frequent special guest Patrick Stout Garrity to talk about last summer's vampire story Blood Hunt! Three ex-LARPers of Vampire: the Masquerade talk about Dracula, sentient cities and so many LARP references you'll be downloading Bloodlines before the episode ends!
Josh and Leia are joined by the Baronessah, Jennifer Howland and special guest Will Azbill to go over the inspiration for X-Men '97: Operation Zero Tolerance. The first part of what will be multiple parts, they discuss how close to a 28 year old comic is to today, some of the grossest X-Men the 90's had to offer and the best portrayal of J Jonah Jameson ever. Tune in now!
Josh and Leia are joined once again by Cory Peter to discuss The King In Black, which Josh thought until reading it was going to be War of Kings for some reason. The conclusion of Absolute Carnage get really crazy. The impossible differences between Sentry and Thor, Mohammad Ali as a symbiote host and the Ligma Force are all discussed.
Leia and Josh are joined once again by special guest Dixie Cochran to continue down our journey into Gotham City Sirens! The Japanese language doesn't work like that, architecture in Gotham City and the bimbofication of Harley Quinn are just a few of the things we discuss in a show guaranteed to have a Part 3!
Leia and Josh are joined by can't-miss guest Dawn Baldwin and the Baronessah, Jennifer Howland for Ice Cream Man! If you've never listened to a Dawn Baldwin episode, you're in for a creamy, frozen treat! This horror anthology series is guaranteed to rot your teeth!
Leia and Josh are joined by frequent guest Kyle Slack to talk about Kevin Smith's Marvel debut - Daredevil: Guardian Devil! We explore the womanizing side of Matt Murdoch, Natasha Romanov should not be the first person you call to babysit and we answer the age old question - did the baby AntiChrist give her AIDS?
Josh and Leia are joined by new guest Zombie and the Baronessah to discuss Nightcrawler: The Devil Inside! Why is it bad to send someone who looks like a demon to counsel a child? Is it okay to bang your foster sister? And why are gay snakes the best pets? These questions and more are investigated in this very, VERY sexy comic!
Leia and Josh are joined by frequent guest Jesse to discuss Ultimatum! LOTS of decapitations, Leia absolutely hates it here and why every single character was screwed up in the Ultimate Universe. Also, who has quit the show the most?
Josh and Leia are joined by new guest Tim Hardwick to discuss Madame Web! More of a breakdown of the character and why she got her own movie (tl;dr - we have no idea). Some highlights include talking about Black Tom, the tiny Looney Tunes dog of Marvel, Jessica Jones and Paul Rudd getting it on and Josh gets personally offended when part of One More Day is blatantly laid out before him.
Leia and Josh are joined by Josh's Straight Up Dog Talk co-host, Emily Breslin to discuss Tom King's 7th graphic novel in his amazing run, Batman: The Wedding! We talk a lot of Booster Gold, romance in comics and why a lot of people were upset at this ending!
Josh and Leia are joined by almost-newlyweds David and Kristy Harnois to discuss Gail Simone's Jessica Jones book - The Variants! Josh goes a little Jessica crazy (he's a big fan) as they play within the multiverse! Get ready for a show full of humor, caffeine and Morning Blush!
Leia and Josh go off the RAILS with special guest Patrick Stout Garrity. Josh read the wrong book so he's auditing the class today! Bucky Barnes adopts a child and hilarity ensues. Leia's knowledge of Spider-Man villains is brought to a reckoning. And we discuss the finer points of doors and Bucky's hatred of them.
In this very special cut of RetConversations, Leia and Josh talk with guest Josh Lawrence about MAUS and book banning in the United States. This cut is meant for grades 9 and up and discretion is advised by the teacher.
On this very special episode, Leia and Josh welcome new guest Josh Lawrence to discuss MAUS. This episode is different from our regular format: less jokes, a lot more deference and, of course, discussions about the Holocaust and book banning.
This is the regular edition, please look on this feed if you would prefer the Classroom Edition for teachers dealing with the subjects of the Holocaust or book banning.
WELCOME TO EPISODE 50!
Josh and Leia are joined by first-time guest Sarah Kennedy to discuss one of her favorite storylines - Annihilation! We work a little differently than normal to talk a lot of Space Marvel, nu-metal and Drax's Heartbreak Kid phase.
