Will there be an episode covering the Huns? I’ve heard references a few times and I know some generalities but I’m curious as to how impactful it was to the Roman Empire. Was it the largest threat they had ever faced or was it overblown by future historians?

This announcement. I think Nintendo is wise to try and stay out of the graphical arms race. They are not going to beat that, nor should they try. Nintendo has always been about overall quality of experience rather than trying to make the best thing on paper. I always think of an apocryphal saying as their philosophy:…

From all the accounts I’ve heard Justice League was a fun shoot for everyone. Jason Momoa just took it to another level.

Roger Goodell at home watching:

Nothing is worse than football’s catch rule.

It’s really not as bad as people make it seem. The rules only get really complex once you get to a collegiate or professional level. The rules are in place for exactly this sort of situation, deceiving runners with a false pitching motion. The short version: Once your foot is planted on the pitching rubber, your…

I would love a podcast where you talk about films and television; what they get right and what they get wrong. I’ve watched a few films set during the antiquity since I started listening to this and it’s given me new perspectives. I would love to hear your takes.

Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye had me at the title.

Kids are different. My daughter might have trouble going to sleep but she’ll eventually get there. I have a couple of friends whose child would literally scream for 1-2 hours before he exhausted himself. There is no one size fits all approach to children because they’re human beings. Some of them are generally…

The comparison was to the Yankees television broadcast team, which I find competent and tolerable. The nicknames are the fucking worst, anyone who says “WHADDYA KNOW, IT’S ROBBIE CANO!” Without irony deserves to be in fucking prison.

I laughed at this.

C’est victoire sans lance un bier!

Sure, that’s fine.

Look, I don’t mind you liking his baseball announcing, that’s fine. I disagree but it’s personal taste. But we are not going to sit here in this the Foul Year of Our Lord 2016 when Vin Scully retired and call that android “the perfect baseball announcer.” Jon Miller, Joe Castiglione, Don Orsillo, and Denny Matthews…

Nothing wrong with some motor sports, you don’t deserve crap for this.

If you check out comichron.com, the best source for sales figures, most returnable titles actually perform better than initially reported. This means that at years end the best selling issue may be Harley Quinn #1 rather than Civil War II #1. We live in crazy times. Also try and check out the rebirth stuff when they…

I wasn’t ever worried about anyone actually dying, something that shocked me in Superwoman. I am glad they had Doomsday however for one simple reason. In an issue where Superman fights Doomsday, they placed an ad where Doomsday is fighting Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman and they defeat him by offering him a…

The reason that the movie didn’t have the comic’s ending: Because Civil War the comic fucking sucked.
