The RodPod is back!

Maggie and the two Jons cover issues 13 of Robots in Disguise and More Than Meets the Eye, as well as Spotlight: Megatron, as we continue our coverage of IDW: Phase 2 Transformers comics.

In MTMTE 13, more meta jokes than you can shake a psychic paper at, Ultra Magnus gets drunk, and we learn a secret about Swerve, which would be the most shocking reveal of the episode if it weren't for what's coming.

Spotlight: Megatron adds some context and depth to Megatron and Starscream's releationship, which we, of course, talk about in purely sexual terms.

And RID 13, which has that shocking reveal I mentioned. The last few issues have had some pretty insane last page cliffhangers, but you are not going to see the end of this one coming.

Also, Maggie and Jonathan talk about an incident in baseball history without providing enough context, and we respond as only we can to reader feedback.

Jon M Wilson and Layne Join Jon back on Krynn, to cover chapters 7-9 of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Listen in, as Jon gripes about and praises different parts of Weis and Hickman's ongoing new Dragonlance series, the trio comes up with ideas for what Jon would call a goth band, were he to be in one, and then be not-perplexed by the mystery this part of the book deals with, and see if you can figure out who the traitor is. (You won't be perplexed)

Just in time for, uh, Thank-a-ween, Mephisto is back, and he's brought more podcasters than you can shake a pitchfork at! Jon M Wilson and Layne from Ninjas and Bots podcast and Tim Price from The Outcasters podcast join Maggie and Jon for a talk about Avengers #83, The first appearance of the Rutland Halloween Parade in a preview of the first unofficial Marvel/DC crossover! It's also the first appearance of Valkyrie and the Women's Liberation Movement in comics, so we actually mostly talk about that. Featuring way more detailed of an explanation of Radical vs Liberal Feminist Theory than you will likely see on any comic podcast this year.

The Lost Light Crew battles a group of rogue Decepticons and fights to save the lives of some of their own, while back on Cybertron, Megatron's return is quickly unravelling all of the progress that's been done since the end of the war.

Ryan Daly from the Fire and Water Podcast network mentioned in passing that we should watch the cartoon, Bluey for a Married Watching Cartoons. Ryan was right! Join, Ryan, Maggie, and I as we talk about 3 episodes of what could be the best show of any medium currently running.
