This week's closing track:
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 just re-read Garth Ennis’ Preacher, 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: Too much has happened in comics and comics related media in the past few weeks that this week’s Thought Bubble comes in two parts!
PART 1 – Much ado about DC Comics. Not only has DC Rebirth #1 rebooted the universe with a twist, but Geoff Johns C.C.O. of the comics has ascended to create DC Films to oversee future film entries. Then, The Flash and Arrow fail to stick their season landings, but that doesn’t mean we’re not in a Golden Age of DC TV with Supergirl jumping to the CW in the fall. Finally, Da7e and Joanna discuss AMC’s Preacher, since Joanna loves the show and Da7e just finished a re-read of the comics.
PART 2 – Kicking things off: did Marvel really just make Steve Rogers a Hydra agent? Then, both Da7e and Joanna have seen X-Men: Apocalypse, undoubtably the oddest installment Bryan Singer has contributed to the franchise. Things they like get overshadowed by things that they don’t and the whole chain of decision making leaves everyone puzzled. Finally, SPOILERS for Thor: Ragnarok, we check in with the new official casting and Da7e applies that to what he thinks he knows.

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David fix their audio and deliver a whole show! AMC has finally brought a Preacher adaptation to screen? Is it working for our hosts, who didn’t read the graphic novel (except for Da7e, who did)? Then, Independence Day: Resurgence released an almost 5 minute trailer. That is too long. Finally, SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES in segment 3 when we debate the perils and perks of time travel in an ongoing narrative.

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 always buys his new illegal guns off Turk, 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: He of Film School Rejects and Storm of Spoilers co-host – Neil Miller joins Da7e and Joanna to discuss Daredevil‘s second 13-episode season on Netflix. At the time we recorded this episode, we were about 24 hours from the whole season being released, so we’ve only seen 7 of the 13 total episodes of season two. FIRST, Joanna wants to know how psyched Da7e was about seeing a MCU Spider-Man in the trailer for Captain America: Civil War, then the rest of the episode is all about Daredevil Season 2!
Then, Neil and Joanna are fresh back from SXSW (some had to travel more than others) and have seen the first episode of AMC’s Preacher. They report back and…things are good!
The first section of the podcast talks about the new characters played by Jon Bernthal and Elodie Yung. Yes, this show delivers versions of The Punisher and Elektra that are unique to the Marvel Studios world and might be working much better than they ever did at other studios. Then, in a spoiler section, Da7e goes way out there with Daredevil lore and stuff we didn’t get to see (like what’s in those last 6 episodes?!?!?!). All the comic-book Daredevil talk (like speculation on The Hand) is all in the second section.
SPOILERS START AT 40 minutes 36 seconds, and they’ll take a beating until you break your hands.
