Thought Bubble 39 – Prepare For Civil War

Captain-America-Civil-War-Key-Art

A podcast about Comics Pop Culture!

Hello FITWR listeners, Republic City Dispatch fanatics and Storm of Spoilers/Cast of Kings fantasy nerds, we’re back for more comics discussion!

New comics enthusiast Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood and The Station Agents podcast is joined by a Spider-Man fan,  Da7e Gonzales of Geek.com and  Latino-Review.com

No matter your level of engagement, if you’re interested in comic books and their surrounding pop culture, this show’s for you!

THIS WEEK: Joanna and Da7e are back, although there isn’t a ton of comic book news discussed outside of this year’s Eisner Award Nominations. Otherwise, Da7e has seen Captain America: Civil War and Joanna hasn’t so there’s a spoiler-free prep section (spoiler free in the sense that you should know Black Panther and Spider-Man are in this movie already). Then, recent Doctor Strange and Iron Fist developments has the duo revisiting how actors of Asian descent are getting the shaft. Finally, a quick jaunt through The Flash (Zoom!), iZombie (Joanna loves it!) and Agent Carter season 2 (Da7e caught up)! Oh, and The Killing Joke comes up again because WB released the trailer for the R-Rated animated Batman film.

This week, Kitty Rich, Matt Pooches, and David Ehrliphant brave the wild for Disney’s reimagined Jungle Book. Jon Favreu’s live-action take wants to be like the original, wants to walk like the original, and wants to talk like the original. FITWR’ll see if it’s true. Plus, answers to our talking animal lightning round question.

STORM OF SPOILERS – Season 6 Preview

A GAME OF THRONES PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPOILERS

With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales from Geek.com and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!

WARNING

If you’re looking for spoiler-free dissection of the highest caliber, or reading along with Season One of the HBO show, you’re looking for A CAST OF KINGS (click there)

Welcome back to A STORM OF SPOILERS! This will be our preview episode for Season 6 of Game of Thrones which premieres April 24th.

This is the season where it goes beyond the story told in the books, so we can not say often enough that if you don’t want to know what happens beyond what you’ve read and seen this is NOT THE PODCAST FOR YOU.

If you don’t like crazy speculation about what could happen (and who could die) this season this is NOT THE PODCAST FOR YOU.

If you think that Joanna, Neil and Da7e have some sort of insider information and aren’t guessing things wildly, you are confusing speculation and spoilers and this is NOT THE PODCAST FOR YOU.

We love you and your questions, but everyone (besides Da7e who still thinks spoilers are something society has created to encourage blind consumerism) seems very concerned that we tell you how things work (in case someone misses the disclaimer above this text and at the top of the episode).

Unless you know exactly what you’re getting into, this is probably NOT THE PODCAST FOR YOU.

If you’ve already heard A Cast of Kings and get frustrated with how that pretends only the show exists, welcome, this is the podcast for you.

Follow Neil (@rejects), Joanna (@jowrotethis), Da7e (@da7e) and the show (@StormofSpoilers) on Twitter!
