Why Read The Comics?

You may actually learn something from this episode. Clay gets blindsided by a guest who actually knows what the fuck they are talking about for once. It's a new experience for him. Then two ruffians come and ruin the second half of the podcast. You'll love it. I'm sure of that.

The guys have a guest on. He's pretty okay, I guess. They talk about Dean Koontz's Godzilla novel, memes, and stunts. Clay also sinks into another deep depression about his youth. That's fun to listen to.

Daniel and Clay finally tell you who writes these descriptions, we know you've been dying to find out. We also watch the movie Super. Most importantly, we talk about Kevin Bacon, and a world where Zach Galifianakis is extremely buff. CHECK IT OUT!

Daniel and Clay watch Fantastic Four. Daniel asks a lot of questions about the show Forever. We also talk about Chiclets gum, Jessica Alba's powers over the sun, over use of puns, and Clay's favorite Marvel character. We promise the podcast is more FANTASTIC than the movie. We like to lower the bar.

Daniel and Clay watch a movie about some kids making a really fucked up home video. They talk about the films that influenced this movie, there are a lot. We also talk about Josh Trank and how he crippled himself through twitter, much like anyone who uses twitter cripples themselves emotionally.

With a name that long, you think they'd make a quality film. Daniel and Clay drink and talk about how assumptions shouldn't be made based on title length. They also talk about the general "Meh" that was one of the years biggest blockbusters. There is also conversation about Ben Affleck's chubby Bat-face.

Daniel and Clay talk about the good you can do if you are Superman. They also talk about what good you can't do if you are just some idiot with superpowers. Listen to them talk about a movie that loves telling you that Superman is basically Jesus.

Clay and Daniel watch one of the films that began this current generation of superhero films. It's kind of like meeting Einstein before he created the H-bomb. How do they feel about the one of the originators of their pain, and therefore this podcast? 

You thought Howard the Duck was bad? Think again, Turkey! This movie is in a league of its own. It's so bad that it may or may not have made one of the hosts sick! Please help, every day is torture.

Spider-Man was an absolutely amazing film that acted as a benchmark for the commercial success of superhero films for years following its release. We don't watch that one. Apparently some guys made a film in the seventies. Good special effects though.

Daniel and Clay talk about a movie that started off as two other movies, then became a comic, then became a movie. Look things aren't always simple. You just have to deal with it.

We got tired of awful films. Does this count as a comic book film? Probably not, but Clay give a very poor reason to watch a great film. I mean people fly in this movie, and there are superpowers, kind of. Just listen to us talk about a good movie.

We talk about a film that became the barometer for comic book film failure. It's still bad, just as bad as everyone remembers it. We also talk about Star Wars, really anything to numb the pain.

We watch a film that manages to ruin a premise that isn't horrible. Way to go. Also that Native American guy from Joe Dirt is in it. He doesn't make it good. We also talk about having reasonable expectations for films.

"You know what we need? An animated movie by Bruce Timm set in an Elseworld where everyone is kind of a bad guy, but not really." The two sentences that people have been saying for decades has finally been realized! You know, because why not?

Clay and Daniel watch one of those Pixar movies. You know, the massively popular ones? It was pretty good. Can't wait for them to drive this one into the ground with a few more sequels!

Daniel and Clay watch their first Bruce Timm-verse film. Only about a thousand more to go. Who knew women got their own superhero films? Also what is the deal with the invisible jet? Who comes up with this crap?

Daniel and Clay have a special guest on today's show. Don't get used to it. His name is Eric Montague. We discuss his name. We also discuss the pilot for the wildly popular Incredible Hulk television show of yore. There may have also been a little drinking. I can't remember. We watch these comic book films so you don't have to. You may want to watch this one though. I don't really care.

Daniel and Clay watch a film that has been through so many money making cycles that it's a miracle the film isn't just thirty minutes of Warner Brothers laughing at you and telling you that you are going to buy their stuff for your children. We also drink and talk about how pathetic Robin is. Hold on to your wallets kids.
