  1. Nice of Siskoid to pump some Nitrous oxide into the recording studio for this episode.

    I completely missed the Brother Voodoo connection in the DS movie which means OMG THEY’RE GOING TO DO LIVE ACTION BROTHER VOODOO.

    Highly enjoyable episode, as always. This show was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

  2. Was it around this issue that the editors decided to open up the number of pages for feature characters? Brother Voodoo got more love than Beast and (for shame!) Black Panther.

    Having said that, I’ve always liked Brother Voodoo from afar, so I’m glad the girls approved. And I didn’t catch that namedrop in the Doctor Strange film either. Here’s hoping we’ll see him in a sequel, or how awesome and creepy would a Netflix Brother Voodoo series be?

    I’ve learned to never take anything for granted with this show. The girls lost their minds over Boomerang, but let a lot of other, much stranger things go by with little notice. I can’t wait until you hit The Mandrill.

  3. Wow, not a straight up “not” in the bunch. Even Box, which was sweet. And thank you all for the amount of laughter when talking about Boomerang, it was greatly appreciated.

    I don’t really know any of these so I don’t have too much to add… just like hearing my name read out in the comments.

    Oh, except to say to Siskoid, I don’t know whether to praise your use of a Doctor Who clip or to deride you for making me think about my second least favorite incarnation of the Master.

  4. Boy, that was a lot of laughter about Boomerang! I would love to see a scene where he arrives to kill someone and everyone laughs at him as much as the girls did, forcing him to leave with shoulders slumped. Siskoid, it might be an interesting exercise to show them DC’s Captain Boomerang as a comparison to Boomerang to see which look they prefer.

    I never knew the powers of the Brothers Grimm but in this day and age of ‘Once Upon a Time’, ‘Fables’ and ‘Hansel and Gretel, Witch Hunters’, I can’t believe they haven’t been given a mini-series!

    And I am completely a carnivore. I used ‘salad days’ in my prior comment to mean a period in life where I was younger and more inexperienced … still ‘green’ as it were.

  5. “What happened in the 90s?!” I hear you cry? Well, speaking only for myself, in the 90s I graduated from college, got married, moved 4 times, had my first child, and collected a whole lot of comics. For me, the 90s were pretty busy. Come to think of it, I guess my 90s were like your ‘Teens.

    I love this show; whenever it pops up on my podfeed, a smile pops up on my face! I like to listen to you with my college-aged son, because I like to think that it gives him an insight into how modern young women think when it comes to “hotness” and “notness.”

    Keep up the good work!

    1. The girls approve of your comma.

      And don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of great comics in the 90s. I probably bought more in that decade than even the 80s. But I ditched Marvel entirely, for what I now see was its 90sness. Nothing at Image stuck for long. So it was mostly DC (which was less uniform in its 90s content), Vertigo and independents for me.

      1. I, too, divorced Marvel back in the 90s. I was only collecting 2 Marvel titles at the time, but Ann Nocenti left Daredevil and I didn’t like the new direction and X-Men expanded so much that I couldn’t take it anymore. I traded away my X-Men and Daredevil comics to my friend John, stuck with DC and a few indies, and haven’t looked back. I doubt Marvel has noticed my absence.

  6. Great episode, though the five-minute giggle hysteria has me reconsidering my dream of visiting Canada – I suspect Delphi-like gas leaks in the studio/cave.

    This episode scores better than the last one in terms of top totty. Obviously, Box and Boomerang are no-hopers, but Brother Voodoo is a nice hunkaspunk, I love heroes with white streaks in their dark hair, and as for the Brothers Grimm, I like the sexy masks and, well, who doesn’t appreciate a twofer?
