Episode 1216 Talkback: Comic Talk

Pants · April 2012

Just a good old fashioned comic talk episode. We discuss some of the news coming out of C2E2, Fantastic Four Season 1, the Ultimates line and even chat about some classic TV. (1:19:59)

Listen here.

Don't want to go all Yoko Ono here but Pants if you are going to Seattle and Chicago all by yourself why are you manning the table? I know you want to promote the show but aren't you missing out on being on the floor and the panels? Getting reports on con events is important too. Just want to make sure you are getting the full con experience. Well if you decide to come to Motor City Comic-con or Detroit Fanfare (yeah right :)) ) I will volunteer to man the table in relief. Looking forward to your con report. Keep up the great job.

Here's the artwork by V. Ken Marion of Thermostat and Shadow Wing:

Nice job on the artwork, Ken! It reminds me a little bit of a cross between a Jim Lee and Brett Booth.

And Murd got Muddled by a teenager? This guy sounds like a Murd-In-Training!

JaxUr · April 2012

FYI for WKRP Fans: Loni Anderson & Howard Hessman will be at the Motor City Comic Con!

Whatever happened to Jan Smithers??

DAR · April 2012

I kind of had a thing for Bailey

MikeGallagher · April 2012

bailey was so hot. those glasses

LibraryBoy · April 2012

Jan Smithers... :x

I haven't completely finished the episode yet, but I got past the part where you were talking comic book news and I'm very surprised Shane never mentioned the G.I. Joe/Danger Girl crossover announced at C2E2. That's right up his alley.

rebis · April 2012

For Christmas, I bought myself the complete "Checkmate". I had never heard of the show, but Sebastian Cabot is a co-star and he never made a bad ... anything. One of the best things about classic TV is how freaking hot some of the women are. I just watched an episode with a young Elizabeth Montgomery. DAMN! DAMNITY DAMN DAMN!

I never thought Loni anderson was that hot.But Bailey was smoking hot. I think she was the start of my love of ladies with glasses.

alienal · April 2012

I'm glad I listened to this episode before I did my DCBS order. I was able to add some of the specials you mentioned at the beginning, including the Prophecy one. So, thanks! I also liked hearing all the excitement about the Avengers movie and amused by Pants trying to not hear any "spoiler" discussion from the trailers and the voice mail. As for the classic TV, yeah I also don't like how they cut stuff out. Darn advertisers! And yeah, Karin Jan Smithers. I hear she lives in Ojai, California---thinking about getting back into acting (imdb and wiki). (Ah, and hey Pants, if the others don't care about your recording the pre-show stuff, why not go for it!)

I discovered ME TV last month when I was in Fort Worth. Now After finding the local affiliate in San Diego, I may never leave the couch! :))

I wish i got channels like Me TV,Retro,Bounce,This TV and Antenna TV.

bats00 · April 2012

Was that Shane who yelled out "Hokey Smokes"? Does that mean I'm not the only one who uses that? :-O

...then what about Granny Clampett?

She is one of the few ladies with glasses I didn't find hot.

KyleMoyer · April 2012

She is one of the few ladies with glasses I didn't find hot.

I was going to test your use of the word "few" but I had Google safe search off and now my eyes are scarred permanently. That's what I get for being a smartass, I guess.

MikeGallagher · April 2012

Another hottie was the big glasses chick that kisses Robocop in the first movie

Funny conversations filled with Marvel Now Snarkiness.

While I understand this "here we go again" attitude from Jamie and Peter, I'm not sure what new "buzz words" marvel's marketers could use other than "It's a new direction/great jumping on point , etc." like they did with the POINT ONE initiative.

On last years Marvel Movies tanking ? Sorry but I think Peter was a little wrong .

Thor made $181,030,624 Domestic and $268,295,994 Foreign. It cost 150 million

Cap Made $176,654,505 Domestic and $191,953,858 Foreign costing 140 million

While they obviously werent Avengers Or Dark Knight explosinve hits those aren't failure numbers either .

Maybe Pete was thinking about 2010, when Scott Pilgrim and that crop of hero films didn't live up to expectations?

Howdy, Stranger!
