Episode 12: Independent Celebrity Avengers

I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say that this, our twelfth podcast, is by far the first since November. Should you choose to unpack its glorious contents, you’ll find a discussion of Celebrity Apprentice and such films as Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Captain America (and also some independent films but WHO CARES IRON MAN THOR CAPTAIN AMERICA BRUCE MOTHAFUCKING BANNER) in preparation of the May 4th release of Disney’s Marvel’s Joss Whedon’s Robert Downey, Jr.’s The Avengers. Here’s what the discussion looks like:

Episode 11: Comics, Zombies, and Other Activities

In this, the eleventh Here Comes Two Podcast, we discuss some of the issue #2s from DC’s relaunch that we didn’t talk about last time, as well as some other comics. Then we talk about the new movie Martha Marcy May Marlene. Then it’s time for zombies, as we converse about The Walking Dead and its essential talk show companion. And we finish it off with a discussion of the Paranormal Activity series. (NOTE: We openly spoil the first one and more vaguely spoil the second one, but when we talk about the third one we only have mild spoilers for it or either of the preceding films, so you can skip to there if you want.)

Episode 10: The New DC 52

It’s been over a year since the last episode, but today sees the dawning of a new, rebooted Here Comes Two podcast. Robbie and I have parted ways in a bitter stream of tears and fists, so I come with two brand new co-hosts in the form of Scott Douglass and Calvin Holt. And what better way to relaunch the podcast than with a discussion of another, arguably higher-profile relaunch: the 52 new #1 issues that DC Comics released in September.

(NOTE: While we initially had planned to discuss the new 52 and then the Breaking Bad season four finale, it became clear that continuing the discussion past the 52 would make the podcast far too long. So please ignore it in the beginning when we say we’re going to talk about Breaking Bad later. We no longer intend to have that discussion, sadly.)

(SECOND NOTE: It turns out we were wrong about Action Comics being the only $3.99 title – All-Star Western and Justice League command the same price tag. Yay for not researching beforehand!)

Here’s a breakdown of the discussion:

0:00-2:29 – Introduction
2:29-11:55 – Action Comics
11:55-14:33 – Animal Man
14:33-17:11 – Aquaman
17:11-21:45 – Batman
21:45-27:17 – Batman and Robin
27:17-34:41 – Batwoman
34:41-36:48 – Blackhawks
36:48-41:27 – Demon Knights
41:27-46:57 – The Flash
46:57-54:20 – Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.

1:03:07-1:05:37 – Supergirl

1:08:44-1:12:11 – Voodoo

Zach Sees Every Movie: The Zach Sees Every Movie Awards

This is the final post of the Zach Sees Every Movie project. Previously this week, I reflected on the experience as a whole. On Wednesday, I posted a handful of finished reviews I had sitting on my computer. And in this climactic post, I host the Zach Sees Every Movie Awards. Here we go…
