Welcome to episode two of the show! This one was an absolute party, as Dr Bob and Dr Husband joined me to talk about this crazy comic written by Zany Bob Haney! Can the Titans solve a case involving a demonic curse? The three of us cover our eyes, as this one contains graphic material (seriously!), as we see dead people, a dead kid tossed in a treasure chest, and a cow that almost kills Speedy! Tune in as we had an udderly fantastic time!

Welcome back, ghouls! It's time for another episode of the show! This time, I've lured MonsterMatt Patterson down to the crypt to talk about another great horror comic! The Monster of Frankenstein 1, 1973, was the third of the "big three" monsters to get its own series, but don't even think that means the material is third rate. With names like Gary Friedrich and Mike Ploog, you know you're in for a monstrously good time! The best part of this issue is that it mirrors the Mary Shelley novel, so ...

Hey everybody, I'm back with another cool film and another awesome guest! I've known/been friends with this guest for quite a few years now, and we talk about that at the beginning of the show. Rich Chamberlain is a blogger, podcaster, and all around good guy. I contacted him about talking movies, and especially some of our favorite made-for-tv movies, and we decided on this very interesting one from 1973. This decade had a string of really good quality films on TV and we enjoyed talking about t...

Hey everybody, this episode was a long time coming, as Dallan and I explain! The plan was to talk about this one together oh maybe two years ago! In all seriousness, we had a great time talking about this insane story, starring our favorite non-team, The Defenders! We are both big fans of this title, and are definitely going to talk more down the road. This nutty story involves not only the Defenders, but Professor Xavier of the X-Men as well!

Hey everybody, I'm back with another episode of the show! I know I promised when I first got rolling with this podcast, that I'd be very Hammer Studios heavy on my episodes that feature films. Well, in 2022, I'm going to deliver on that promise, and starting right now! There's no better place to start than the beginning, and The Curse of Frankenstein from 1957, is where Hammer launched into the stratosphere. It also launched the careers of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee into superstar status!...
