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!

SPOILER WARNING  – DO NOT START THIS EPISODE UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN OR ARE OKAY WITH PLOT DETAILS ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

THIS WEEK: Joanna and Da7e are back, and now Joanna has seen the third Captain America movie. Before delving into a lengthy evaluation of the movie and the Sokovia Accords (Jo is #TeamCap, Da7e is #TeamIronMan), the duo stop to appreciate that Kevin Smith directed a kick-ass Zack Stentz-written episode of CW’s The Flash called “The Runaway Dinosaur.” After that, it’s all Civil War discussion, baby, yeah.

NOT AN EPISODE – Finn Jones as Danny Rand in Marvel’s Iron Fist for Netflix
| 29. February, 2016

Hi-ho, Da7e here!

On the day we recorded our latest Star Wars Special, news broke that Netflix and Marvel cast Finn Jones as Iron Fist. This caused some controversy online where there had been calls to cast Danny Rand as Asian American.

After spending most of that day talking to Joanna Robinson about the casting over instant messenger, the discussion inevitably spilled over into the recording. Patches, Jo and I started off the Star Wars Special without Neil Miller, so the first chunk is just the three of us going over the news. Then, after the Star Wars Special was finished recording, Patches had to take off and Neil joined in the ongoing Iron Fist talk.

I’ve posted what I can here because according to Twitter there was some interest in hearing what the debate inside the FITWR podcasting team was.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO ANY OF THE PODCASTS AT FIGHTINGINTHEWARROOM.COM

This will not be pushed into any podcast feeds.

It’s just because discussion is good. So is yelling at corporations.

SECOND UPDATE:

You might have noticed that this post briefly disappeared. That was entirely my fault (still Da7e, Da7e’s fault).

As I describe loosely above, we recorded this not-an-episode in between other recordings when we all thought we were off air (except Joanna, who recorded the entire thing). That lead me to try to win a racial argument with my friends (for better or for worse) by suggesting Marvel could be bringing it’s 1970s Kung Fu characters into the same series.

THAT little nugget that I brought up was NOT my information to report, and I don’t like being an asshole to my fellow scoop journalists and spoiler enthusiasts. Now that MCU Exchange and The Hashtag Show have actually had the chance to break their news without me stepping all over it in podcast argument form, the Iron Fist not-an-episode has been restored.

Sorry about the runaround of this file being up for mere hours before being pulled for no reasons, but it’s not worth betraying trust to be the first person to say something.

Ok, that’s it. Fight on!

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 guy who was surprised he wasn’t a constant in the multiverse,  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: Jo and Da7e are back for the pre-Deadpool Thought Bubble. Comic book movie season kicks off this FRIDAY and we’re getting ready by including some pre-movie talk about what we’re expecting. The two go through what they’ve been reading which leads to Dave’s crisis of conscience about the CEO of Marvel giving money to Donald Trump and him summing up what he thinks is happening in Batman. Joanna catches Da7e up on Agent Carter and Supergirl, and Da7e makes the case for Legends of Tomorrow before both of them geek out over the most recent episode of  The Flash on the CW that took the crew to Earth-2. Finally in a VERY WELL ANNOUNCED SPOILER SECTION THIS TIME (many apologies for last time), we wonder about Infinity Stones, Thor: Ragnarok and Netflix shows.

Spoiler section starts a 1:03:53
