Episode 25 - The Last Laugh (Batman: The Animated Series S01E04)

Hey everyone, this is Zack! Mitch was unable to upload the episode this week, so I had to fill-in. Unfortunately, I wasn't on this one! So I'm gonna make my best guess about what happens: 

The crew is joined by Kendall, our first non-bonus episode guest, as they discuss the second Joker-focused episode of Batman so far. And there's only been 4 episodes! Cameron probably references no less than 3 but no greater than 5 BibleThings, Graham sniffs a bunch and Mitch is the only thing that keeps people coming back. 

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week are Detective Comics by James Tynion IV and Eddy Barrows and Spider-Man: The Lost Years by J.M. DeMatteis and John Romita Jr.

Episode 23 - The Brave and the Bold (Justice League S01E13-14)

The full crew returns for an extra-length episode filled with gorillas, mind control, and a concerted effort to kill Zack by the rest of the boys. We finally meet one of the DCAU's greatest villains, Grodd, and Flash finally begins to develop a little bit beyond simply being The Horniest Man Alive. Still pretty dang horny, though. We also discover the mysteries of Mitch's tortellini, go far too in depth on the history of gorillas and struggle to find a single motion picture that Cameron has actually seen.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week is The Old Guard by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez.

Episode 22 - War World (Justice League S01E10-11)

Mitch is out this week, so we-wait hold on, where are you going? C'mon! We still have jokes! Mostly! Join the remaining crew as we visit beautiful War World, perfect for all your violence based tourism needs. In addition to watching Superman make inspiring a societal revolution look easy, we find some distressing similarities between Mongul and the 45th President of the United States, extol the virtues of John Wick and Graham and Zack fly too close to the wrestling sun while Cameron makes them pay for it.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week are Super Sons by Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason and The Wild Storm by Warren Ellis and Jon-Davis Hunt.

Episode 21 - Meltdown (Batman Beyond S01E05)

FREEZEPEEZY

Y'all, this show is good. This week, we get our first of the few multi-generational Batman Beyond villains in one Dr. Victor Fries! Yes, to his great chagrin, Victor is still alive, and it's up to our Batmen to... protect him?! *record scratch* Elsewhere in the episode: Zack grapples again with his arch nemesis, Audio Oopsies, Cameron consumes a lavish banquet on-mic, Mitchell reluctantly certifies the concept of wrestling entertainment on the whole as "good," and we collectively babble about Fire Emblem ad nauseum. Be sure to stay tuned until the very end of the episode, dear listener, when our very own Graham AKA Grahamuel AKA "Grahamsta" delivers us... to paradise.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendation for this week is Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, Osamu Tezuka, and Takashi Nagasaki.

Episode 20 - Nothing to Fear (Batman: The Animated Series S01E03)

Scarecrow has attacked the show and discovered our greatest fear: not having complete audio files! Due to a technical uh-oh, we sadly only have about half of an episode for you this week. Sorry, folks. But you will get to listen to the latest on Tim Daly's ill advised skiing career, Alan Moore's journey into the rap scene and the greatest mystery of the show so far: Did Mitch sit in some cat shit?

Episode 19 - Aftershock (Static Shock S01E02)

The timeline is restored! After mistakenly uploading the wrong episode last week, we have come back to Dakota City to check in with our old friend Virgil Hawkins! Shit's gotten a bit weird since we've last been here. While Static is still getting his super hero legs under him, we discover why Hot Streak is the greatest supervillain in the DCAU and witness a truly clandestine meeting.

The crew also chats about the Nintendo Switch, the filmography of Meshach Taylor and more Fruit Brute talk than you could possibly imagine.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week are Star-Lord by Chip Zdarsky and Kris Anka and Headlopper by Andrew MacLean.

Episode 18 - The Way of All Flesh (Superman: The Animated Series S01E07)

We're back in Metropolis this week, and this time we've got continuity! Join us as we follow the body horror filled descent into a metal hell that is the life of John Corben, aka Metallo. What could have driven a wealthy mercenary to a life where he can't go to the bone zone? Prooooobably Lex Luthor, this is a Superman show after all.

We also discuss Zack's complete lack of tolerance for scary movies, Cameron's role as THE BIBLE GUY, Mitch's illicit Christmas Tree Crimes and an in depth analysis of 2017 Royal Rumble Winner Randall Keith Orton's RKO.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendation for this week is Descender, by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen.

Episode 17 - Paradise Lost (Justice League S01E08-09)

Hail and well met, adventurers! Due to budgetary concerns, the league find themselves scraping together all the loose animation frames they can find as they're sucked into episode writer Joseph Kuhr's D&D campaign. And I mean why not? It's got a giant snake in it!

During today's Wonder Woman-centric episode, Mitchell shares a story of snow day heroics, Cameron dons his dungeon master hat to critique Felix Faust's wizarding tactics (but praise Hades' villainous rhetoric), and Graham becomes indignant that baka gaijin continue to interpret Hades' as villainous at all. [music continues]

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendation for this week is Kingdom Come, by "Wet" Mark Waid and Alex Ross.

Episode 16 - The Enemy Below (Justice League S01E06-07)

Join the Teenagers With Attitude crew for our Justice League/Power Rangers crossover special as they attempt to nail down the worst podcast intro of all time, spend twenty minutes talking about how good Batman Beyond is, and then FINALLY get down to business to discuss Aquaman's first Justice League appearance, his beleaguered and undeserved past as a punching bag, and how is very clearly NOT YO MAMA'S AQUAMAN! Also we just have so, so many questions about the Atlanteans and why their city works the way it does.

Episode 15 - Remote Control (Zeta Project S01E03)

Apologies for the sub-par audio folks, due to technical difficulties we had to utilize our back-up recording. It is fitting though, because this episode is some hot goddamn garbage. Zeta Project continues to dig bold new depths of mediocrity, and our hosts slowly lose their mind in the process,  We also discover Mitch's hatred of Transformers, Cameron's continued movie ignorance and how much Rocket Power sucked. It's a lot.

Episode 14 - Feeding Time (Superman: The Animated Series S01E06)

Recurring super-foe Rudy Jones AKA Parasite is introduced to the DCAU canon this week, in another shining example of Superman: The Animated Series' commitment to Good Cartooning.  Did you know that Parasite has a lot of Deviantart porn? Of course you did. Everything has a lot of Deviantart porn. Beyond Cameron's efforts to trick us into learning more about Parasite's aforementioned Deviantart porn, we adjudicate whether any non-McElroys are legally allowed to make the "breaking news" noise in this post-Haunted Doll Watch world, recap Zack's TLC experience (whatever that stands for), and test Cameron's knowledge on our beloved stars of stage and screen.

Bonus Episode 2 - Invasion of the Secret Santas! (Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01E04)

Happy Holidays, y'all! We got you a BONUS EPISODE! Sorry, you can't return it for store credit. In the spirit of the season, Zack, Graham and Mitch watched the wonderful Christmas episode of the always amazing Batman: The Brave and the Bold. In between the fistfights with Santa robots and Batman reindeer chases we discuss our sordid childhood Christmas habits, the similarities between highly advanced androids and the common duck and Graham is overtaken by the Spirit of Christmas itself! Plus, Michael Caine returns! For, like, a whole minute!

Episode 12 - His Maker's Name (Zeta Project S1E02)

We flew too high, friends. After a stunning chain of good-to-great episodes, this week we are dragged back down to Earth by the albatross around this podcast's neck: The Zeta Project. Graham came down with a mysterious "sickness" but Zack, Mitch and Cameron are here to wonder what they did to deserve this. In between the anguish we discuss whether Jack London wrote The Hatchet (he didn't), if Incineroar is the best new Pokemon (it is), and wonder if Siri is plotting all of our deaths. (She is.)

Bonus Episode 1 - Batman: Under the Red Hood

IT'S A BONUS EPISODE, NERDS. After a long delay, you can finally hear Zack, Graham and Mitch discuss fan-favorite Batman flick, Under the Red Hood! It's very good! Mitch reminds us of this several times. In between the familial angst and shocking reveals, we discuss what makes a good Joker, whether Ra's Al Ghul is a secret Dracula and how many wrestling references is too many! (It is one, one is too many.)

Episode 11 - A Little Piece of Home (Superman: The Animated Series S01E05)

Towerheads, prepare yourself for your first proper taste of true Luthor villainy and an introduction to all-state DCAU henchwoman Mercy Graves in episode 5 of Superman: The Animated Series, "A Little Taste of Home." Spoiler alert: it is very good. Along the way, we phone a friend about the proper pronunciation of train-based sentai series ToQger, commend the series' period-appropriate radiation safety protocols, and discuss ancient Babylonian Crockery at length because it annoys Zack.

Read More

Episode 10 - Golem (Batman Beyond S01E04)

Welp. This one is a bit of a bummer. Recorded the day after the US Presidential Election, Cameron sits this episode out as Zack, Graham and Mitch find the cyberpunk dytopia of Batman Beyond hitting a little too close to home. We also discovered a cache of secret anime, ponder whether Doctor Strange vapes and discover that high schoolers are the worst no matter what century you're in.

Read More

Episode 9 - Black Out (Batman Beyond S01E03)

Y'all ready to get weird? We return to the far-flung future of the DCAU as Terry McGinnis takes on his first legitimate, and sexy, supervillain: Inque! In between discovering bold new fetishes, the crew talks about Westworld, Graham's inexhaustible parade of cartoon lady crushes, the sport of FutureBall and Mitch won't stop EATING HIS GODDAMN HUMMUS.

Episode 8 - Fun and Games (Superman: The Animated Series S01E04)

And lo, as Dr. Fate did predict, we have returned to cover the second/fourth episode of Superman: The Animated Series, in which our titular hero squares off against a man who is a doll. We're down a co-host for this week's harrowing sprint through Bruce Timm's psyche, but we more than make up for it with a rousing roundtable on Batman's Pokémon type coverage and surefire strategies for all the aspiring toymen out there.
