Episode 41: Emerald City Comic Con '23!

The Revenge Tour continued at this year’s Emerald City Comic Con. Jump back into rainy Seattle as we breakdown the convention weekend with great stories, epic hunts, and the wonderful friends made along the way. It was good to be back in the heart of the PNW.

Episode 38: Guest Host Leila Del Duca w/Special Guest Caitlin Yarsky!

For the first time in recorded Blue Tiger history, a former guest has made the ascension to the cosmic throne of cohost. Theoretical models warn that even the most subtle adjustment to the BTR broadcast transmission may cause what is known as a ripple effect in the space-time-continuum and thus causation of unpredictable universal events. This is a risk that we here at BTR are willing to… risk… for you… the cubs. The wonderful Leila Del Duca replaces Tadd since he, the garbage humanoid that he i...

Episode #37: a New Year, a New Revenge

It’s 2023… a new year and a new revenge for the ol’ azul tigre’! We break in the proverbial New Year with the usual “unusual” talk as Big Bry finally taps into the Japanese mega-verse that is manga (about damn time), Tadd fights his father in the afterlife (where defeat is inevitable ), and discuss the trope of “what if Hitler survived the war!?” Also what comics destroyed our eye holes over the holiday break. It’s the year of your pop-culture tiger overlord. From invading conventions, to fully ...

Episode: Alpha Tigers

Tiger Cubs, there’s an “Alpha” Con that’s apparently happening, according to the inter-webs! And sadly no, it’s not an “Alpha Flight” convention as we all hoped (sorry Canada). If you’ve seen the adverts you know that those fools are just alpha turds selling alpha farts on the wind. How do we know this? there’s an ancient saying that goes “ if ya got to say it… ” it just ain’t true. All kidding aside this is a old school style episode of useless news and some amazing stories. Since we love those...

The “Revenge” continues… a little late to post, but sometimes we have to dodge the Deep State as they, once again, try and capture the always elusive Blue Tiger.

We break it down, and more. In snowy Alaska, it’s last minute snack-time for the bears as the prep for hibernation and they’re waging a food-boner...
