Episode 42 - "Wrong Turn" (2003) & "Superman/Batman: Absolute Justice" (TPB)

This week I watched "Wrong Turn" starring the very hot Eliza Dushku, read the graphic novel "Superman/Batman: Absolute Justice" and descend into political debate by discussing the problem with Ireland's blasphemy law. All while trying to find my way back to the Little Dead Studios.

And I think I saw a big old pickup truck with an American flag do a U-turn and start following me earlier...

Episode V01 - NC Comicon (13 March 2010)

My sons and I took a trip to Morrisville, NC, for NC Comicon.

I originally brought my camera and planned to take a bunch of photos. Then I remembered I could record video and put together a video episode of the podcast! But I suck and didn't budget my video space so couldn't get time with all of the talent there.

Thanks to...

Episode 40 - "The Terminator" (1984)

This week we delve into the world of cybernetic organisms, living tissue over metal endoskeletons, when I watch "The Terminator" from 1984. I also read a crossover comic book by DC pitting Superman against Skynet.

And, to add some humor to the mix, I found a clip from "Extras" with Patrick Stewart talking about a movie script he wrote.

I also dug up a humorous clip from a former AOL customer who just can't seem to cancel his account.
