Episode 107: Ep. 107 - Deadpool and Wolverine
20 december 2024 · 30 min
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. That ampersand is significant, isn’t it? Because it could have been ‘Deadpool vs. Wolverine’, but the truth is a little more snuggly than that. These dudes are a match made in Marvel Heaven and in our latest episode, only 6 months late, we break down all the ways grown ass men felt about 2024’s blockbuster. Put this one in your ear holes to hear Doug make Adam say, “You must be joking”, to hear Sam give Deadpool & Wolverine a 12-star review, to hear Adam veer heavily in the other direction, and also to hear Acadia Bost’s plans to start a GAM chapter at her university.

Episode 105: Ep. 105 - Signed, Sealed, Delivered, We’re Nerds
27 juni 2024 · 31 min
There are men who carelessly skip over the letters pages in old comic books. But that’s not Doug or Adam. And it certainly isn’t JM DeMatteis, our charming, returning fan-favorite guest. On this episode, we all dive into the best letters ever published in comics, (yes, including the first writing George RR Martin ever had in print) and JM talks about his path from fanboy to letter-writer to comics scribe extraordinaire.

Episode 104: Ep. 104: The Alex Maleev interview
1 april 2024 · 29 min
When Alex Maleev paints Daredevil, you can feel the sweat in that red suit. When he sketches Miles Morales you might get worried Miles is gonna fall off that building. We know and love his art from Spider-Woman, Moon Knight, Batman, Hellboy, and the Scarlet series, many created with Brian Michael Bendis. But we also know Alex because he lives here in Brooklyn and we were lucky enough to sit down in person with Alex to talk about his gorgeous new series Masterpiece.

21 september 2023 · 33 min
Sure, you’ve heard about Dr. Wu. Peg. Josie. Rikki, who really shouldn’t lose that number. But here’s a question: What do they look like? Well, wonder no more. In this episode, Doug and Adam sit down with the amazing artist who decided to paint every Steely Dan character. You read that right. Joan LeMay has painted ALL of the characters in Steely Dan’s songs in the book she created with the very talented Alex Pappademas. And Joan was just as much of a fun, unpredictable character as any of her subjects. Listen, download, like, subscribe and we promise Mr LaPage will be your man. Lees meer

31 januari 2022 · 32 min

17 mei 2021 · 28 min
Hard to believe now, but it used to be there was no such thing as Comedy Central. Then in the early 90s, Art Bell (and some other bright folks) came along and changed all that.

Art chats with us about his excellent new memoir, Constant Comedy, with stories about HBO mogul Michael Fuchs, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher, to name a few. Jazzy score by Adam Bernstein, natch. Enjoy!
