This week was a MASSIVE news week! We begin with WB Pictures announcing they are releasing entire 2021 slate on HBOMAX same day as theaters (0:57); Theater chains response to WB news (3:37); Hailee Steinfeld finally confirmed by Marvel to be Kate Bishop in Hawkeye Disney+ series (6:44); Sony finally confirms (then removes video) that Tobey Mcguire, Andrew Garfield, will join Tom Holland in Spider-Man 3 (8:25); Diggle is making the Arrowverse rounds as he’s set to guest star on each series in 2021 (11:08); Leticia Wright, who plays Shuri in Black Panther, is in hot water for anti-trans Twitter thread she shared (13:57); Oscar Isaac confirmed to star in new video game adaptation Metal Gear Solid as main character Solid Snake (17:00); Elliot Page has come out as transgender, and will continue his role in Umbrella Academy season 3 to continue Vanya’s story (20:05).
Now we get into our mixed review of DC's Batman/Catwoman #1 (22:02) and our glowing review of Marvel's King in Black #1 (42:00). And not totally unexpected, our recommendations this week (1:05:11) delve into the backstories of the two comics we've reviewed for the week.

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life is the first of 6 volumes in the series written and drawn by Bryan Lee O'Malley, and what a perfect little breather to inject into our book club series after two months of heavy material. On this episode we are joined by Robbie Billups of the Pop Culture Philosophers to help us dig through this first volume of a book that all of us could relate to in one way or another. From dating woes to roommate jokes to the wacky infusion of video game boss fights, we laughed our way through this episode and through the book.

We've made it to 25 episodes! Huzzah!!! This week's news includes all of our questions about the simultaneous release of WW84 into theaters and onto HBOMAX; we are excited about a new CW Wonder Girl series staring newcomer Yara Flor; but we are sad to see that Black Lightning will be ending with upcoming season 4. Our first review this week takes on Sea of Sorrows issue #1 from IDW publishing and we try to sum up 15 years of fandom as we say goodbye to Supernatural.

We lost another household name this week with the passing of legendary television personality, Alex Trebek, after the long-time Jeopardy host lost his battle against prostate cancer. There were a few bright spots of news, however! WandaVision finally gets a release date on Disney+, Painkiller is getting his own spin off from Black Lightning, and Grey's Anatomy brings a fan favorite back to the series (sort of)! Then we dive into our reviews of DC's Punchline One Shot and Netflix's Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey -- both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Join us!

The US Presidential election dominated global news this past week, but we did manage to squeeze in a Sean Connery tribute since he passed away on October 31, 2020, and we talk about Johnny Depp's exit from Fantastic Beasts amid a franchise mired in controversy. Then we tackle our reviews for the week in the first issue of Image Comics' Crossover, which we both enjoyed, and The Queen's Gambit, which caused the most divisive review we've ever done!

"Remember, remember the 5th of November..." We take another stab at one of the best graphic novels of all time as we tackle Alan Moore's V For Vendetta. We could not have picked a more timely book given the current global political climate; and trust us, this book has not aged a day since it was published in the late 1980s. There is so much more to this book than anarchy. Joined by author and musician Derek Flynn, we discuss the prescient topic the story tells and how all of us were shocked at universal and timely the theme is. This is our first podcast where three different countries and nationalities are represented!

The CW has released its winter premiere dates, and we've got our fingers crossed that we'll actually get new network content beginning in January. We're most excited about Batwoman, The Flash, Superman & Lois, and Black Lightning! Netflix and Ubisoft have announced a big Assassin's Creed teamup that involves multiple shows including both live action and animated series. Let's just say we're cautiously optimistic about this one. Finally we dive into this week's reviews as we both surprisingly loved Love and Monsters and were a bit disappointed with the return of The Mandalorian. Let us know where you stand as well!

We took on a bit too much this week, so our apologies for the delay and length! In news we have a new Netflix and Jamie Foxx original feature in the works; another Spider-Man 3 casting rumor; and a potential lead cast as Moon Knight for upcoming Disney + series! Then we jump into our review of volume one of The Resistance from AWA Upshot Comics and season 1 of Helstrom on Hulu. We had some differences of opinion this week, but were finally able to setting on ratings we could both live with. Give us a listen and let us know your thoughts on The Resistance and Helstrom!
