Episode 61 - The Winning Edge (Batman Beyond S01E09)

Screen Shot 2018-08-14 at 9.15.35 PM.png

"Surely," you thought. "Surely the decrepit corpse of that Winning Edge episode that AATW said was missing enough audio to throw them into a months-long hiatus would never be strong enough to be seen on the RSS feed. Surely, that is the case." You thought wrong, fool! The Audio Entropy triage team (read: Mitchell with some truly unforeseen spare time) has slapped this sucker full of venom and it is READY, dear listener, to shamble on into your eager ears. Listen in, as a new generation of teens in Neo Gotham experiment with horribly debilitating drugs in the shadow of the supervillain who was that drug's marlboro man, all in the name of scoring more futureball points.

Note: The main audio conceit of this episode, if it annoys you, lasts for roughly 30 minutes. The rest of the ep after that is quality regardless!

Your Komix Korner recommendation this week are Batman: Year One by Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli, and Richmond Lewis (those colors, y'all), which works out alright for an episode that isn't exactly timely, and Southern Bastards by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour. Jasons! Oh, also Graham read the county fair issue of Tom King's run on Batman, which was timely, but no longer is. All-time single issue of a comic, says he.

Hope you all like unexpected body horror cause OH BOY DO WE HAVE IT THIS WEEK. Inque is back on Batman Beyond and this time she's brought along her good friend, William H. Macy.

As Inque enacts her plan to kill both Batmen, Terry realizes he doesn't know very much about Bruce or the Batman legacy. Between the heroics and horrors, Zack, Mitch and Cameron talk about what the hell Mitch is eating on mic, Cameron's fictional country he designed currency for and why Zack has a life-long fear of Jon Voight.

This week's Komics Korner is Justice League by Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung.

Episode 51 - Spellbound (Batman Beyond S1E10)

WE'RE BACK, EVERYBODY! After an unexpected hiatus, the Watchtower boys have re-formed to talk about everyone's favorite superhero cartoon universe. Except Zack, his internet hates him and didn't want this episode to happen. But (mostly) host Cameron steps up and manages to keep Graham and Mitch from killing each other. 

Back in the future of GOTHAM 20XX, Terry throws down with his worst foe yet: a creepy dude in a custom green man suit with a major hypnosis fetish. Between the fetish fuel, the guys discuss future tie technology, Cameron's tendency to wander away mid-podcast and the best brand of Southern USA Grocery Store. Fuck off, Hoggeldy Woggeldy, you're a tragic mistake.

Your Komix Korner recommendation this week are Peter Panzerfaust by Kurtis J. Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins and Darth Vader by Charles Soule and Gisueppe Camuncolli.

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 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.

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 3 - Rebirth (Batman Beyond S01E01-E02)

Apologies for the late episode, folks! This week we dive into the cyberpunk hell that is Batman Beyond! We discuss cutting edge future fashion, the secret lives of Cameron's dogs, the appropriate soundtrack for teen angst and actually remember to answer your wonderful questions this time!
