(Could be a loooong wait)

When Trump was elected, I rescinded all my earlier complaints about President Lex Luthor and Homeland Security Director Norman Osborn being unrealistic stories.

I haven’t seen any indication that Whedon is involved in this in any way.

I have no intention of calling her anything but Salamander.

You know, for words like separate and unforeseen. You’ll never need autocorrect again.

I love Kiernan Shipka a lot. I’d been dreamcasting her as Songbird/Screaming Mimi for the Thunderbolts series in my head (Christina Hendricks as Moonstone, everything else negotiable), but this is good too.

I’m just saying that without a world that includes superpowered nonlethal vigilantes like Spider-Man and Daredevil, there’s no reason to name your vigilante Frank Castle. It would be like making a John Constantine movie in which the only supernatural beings are YHWH’s angels and Satan’s devils, it misses the whole…

I think it was a terrible decision to try to make a Frank Castle movie unconnected from Marvel Comics, whether with Jane or Lundgren or anyone else. Punisher vs. Daredevil (or Spider-Man, or Runaways) is a compelling and different kind of story, but there’s no good way to make a Punisher vs. crime story that doesn’t…

Don’t Look Any Further was shot fast and cheap is all, it’s not even in the same league as Word Up, which took work to make.

Everybody has different taste, I guess. They do plan their show out in advance and have commented on deliberately exaggerating their personas - however they get along with each other in their personal lives, it’s clear to me that they’re making this podcast as a team and really appreciate what the other brings. Maybe…

I don’t think Alzheimer’s was actually relevant for the first five or six years of his Presidency - he kept a diary, and my understanding was that he was great with details, names, and language for most of his administration (with very infrequent episodes like his first debate with Mondale). The bigger problem for him…

It’s very different. Reagan was often out of touch with reality and remembered things that never happened and forgot things that did, but - he understood the importance of jobs like Chief of Staff and Secretary of State, he inspired and rewarded loyalty among actual (if deeply conservative) bureaucrats interested in…

late December 2017, so technically last year.

When you rock a long sleeved robe, there’s certainly no need to.

You’re welcome! Honestly, that’s one of my favourite podcasts just for the perfect blend of Miles’ enthusiasm and Jay’s deadpan.

For a nerdy comic book history lesson we already have X-Plain the X-Men, which I love, and Edidin was very clear in their enthusiasm for Piskor doing something complementary but totally different from what Jay & Miles do.

The one who took his freshly laundered money.

For me it was My So-Called Life.

He uses mnemonics to help him remember people’s names. This time, he chose to forget.
