I have recently watched Deadpool and Wolverine and I want to share some thoughts. This is a spoiler rich review and I will talk about what potential is there after this movie. Thank you for taking the time, it really means a lot.

Today I talk about one of the last great newspaper comic strips, Calvin and Hobbes. There is a beautiful story here about a boy and his friend, and there is something more to that legacy (including Calvin peeing on everything). Hopefully you learn something from this and hope you enjoy.

This is a response to a listener that heard about Robert Downey Jr. and what the future of Marvel might look like. Thank you Ronnie for asking and I will try to answer that as well as talk about some of the things that came out of the Sand Diego Comic Con. Enjoy.

With one of the biggest movies coming up, this is a good time for your friendly comic geek to explain some of the stuff that is going on before you watch Deadpool and Wolverine. I am not the God of stories (Loki), but I will weave both the comic origins and what some of the movies got wrong between Deadpool and Wolverine. Get comfy, as this is a ride. As always, I thank you for taking the time to listen. Much appreciated.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to listen. Today, I talk about Betty Boop and the very interesting story that comes along with her. I mean, you have seen her one way or the other. From T-shirts to Jewelry to cameos in movies, you know who she is. She was before Marylin Monroe and Barbie, and I will tell you that she deserves a movie. I will say that I thought that the comic strip was first, but I was wrong. Enjoy me trying to explain all of it and hope you learn something from it.

Today I talk about a classic name in the Sci-Fi genre. Over my research, I learned that George Lucas wanted to do the movie and in time Taika Waititi wanted to make his own version of Flash Gordon. Warning, I talk more about the cult classic 1980 movie, so geek talk ahead :).

Hope you enjoy

You know I was watching Rocky 4 and Brigitte Nielsen mentioned how Ivan Drago ate his Spinach....like Popeye. Later, I was rewatching Dr. Strange 2 and thought about how Elizabeth Olsen was connected to the Olsen twins and Full House. Man Dave Coulier did a Popeye impersonation like every episode. Then I saw someone wearing a Popeye shirt. So I guess a few people know about Popeye, but let's talk about :).
