The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the state of Marvel under the Disney regime ten years in. What kind of impact did the buyout have on the comics? On the TV shows? On the movie franchise(s)? So many questions, not nearly enough answers, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual unusual behavior, as well as our picks of the week.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our latest Casting Call! This time we're looking at the 1974 live-action Shazam TV series. It ran for two seasons (alongside the Isis series) on Saturday mornings back in the day. We've got heroes, villains, some varying interpretations, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual strange perspectives, as well as our picks of the week.

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays at our local comic shop (A Galaxy Called Dallas in Garland, TX); details on Facebook & Twitter to come soon

What we're up to this week:

The Kickstarter for Boston Metaphysical Society: The Spirit of Rebellion is live now, and runs through Feb. 22, so get out there and back it!

Still reading Hellboy, and just barely got back on the internet in time to record this

Under the weather, rearranging the house (finding comics), and reading comic strips online (tangent on the new Nancy strip)

Big Bag o' Nothing - also not feeling well

Watched a Twitch stream about the super blood wolf moon thing, check out science communicator Skylias

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 50th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It's actually hard to list all of the different ways this show broke new ground. And it also happens to be some seriously funny stuff. We talk about the history, the comedy, the censors, the spam, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual silly walks, as well as our picks of the week.

Soooooo many Python quotes... 🙂

[Note: We mentioned KERA general manager Bob Wilson (even if we couldn't remember his first name), but programming manager Ron Devillier was also key in bringing Flying Circus to the states. -m]

[Another note: Monty Python Sings was released in December 1989, so extremely early '90s, right? 😉 -m]

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 85th anniversary of Flash Gordon. It started out as a comic strip meant to compete with Buck Rogers, and stuck around in the funny papers for decades. It also crossed media, with movie serials, a radio show, and both live and animated TV series over the years. We even talk civilly about the 1980 film (somehow). Plus our standard silliness, as well as our picks of the week.

 

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! - we'll be starting monthly meetups in January at our local comic shop (A Galaxy Called Dallas in Garland, TX); details on Facebook & Twitter to come soon (first one is January 12th at 7pm)

 

What we're up to this week:

Prepping for a couple of future episodes 🙂; also picked up Super Suckers and Startup, two Sitcomics titles, and loved them

[and the promised link, www.sitcomics.net]

Vacation & reading - DC Nuclear Winter special, among others [kind of a tangent on the Branch Davidian compound]

Reading - the recent King Features collection, among others; also binged the Thin Man movies on TCM

Reading & the Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the year 2018. We had a lot of fun bringing stuff to you, and we hope you did too. So this week we just talked about some of the cool things we remember from this past year. We may or may not get a little ranty, so fair warning 🙂. Plus plenty of silliness to go around.

 

What we're up to this week:

Big Bag o' Nothing - sick over the weekend (and ever since)

Not much reading, but picked up a big stack of comics at the shop 🙂

Went to a screening of Superman: The Movie at a nearby high school, charity event for Christopher Reeve's foundation

Found a copy of the X-Men: The Hidden Years trade (out of print, hard to find); gathered a donation of toys for kids for Christmas, had an adventure dropping them off; Last Year: The Nightmare has dropped (new horror game)

 

Announcements at the end of the show, so keep listening 🙂

The comics world gave us a bit of controversy this year, to say the least. But was it a good year for comics? You'll just have to listen 🙂 

 

No picks for the week of 12/26:

There's just nothing coming out. (OK, there are a few things, so go check them out. But not enough for us to choose picks from.)

 

Announcements:

No new episode from us next week - we'll be back and ready to go in 2019

Come hang out with us! - we'll be starting monthly meetups in January at our local comic shop (A Galaxy Called Dallas in Garland, TX); details on Facebook & Twitter to come soon (first one is January 12th at 7pm)

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 25th anniversary of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Plus our usual oddness, as well as our picks of the week.

 

What we're up to this week:

Busy week, but I started Criminal Macabre Omnibus 1

Walking around like "a penguin with ghetto booty" - so a Big Bag o' Nothing [Liz threw out her back last week 😞 -m]

A December to Dismember movie event (Christmas-themed horror movies & shorts); new Christopher Mihm movie Guns of the Apocalypse is out now [Avengers 4 trailer/NASA tangent]

Streaming movies on Twitch - Birdemic, MST3K 10 Year Anniversary show, several others; also an Avengers Epic Collection [callback to our Kree-Skrull War episode]
