The Rise of Skywalker

 

Show Notes:

Many fanboys died to bring us this podcast. Kidding! We just saw The Rise of Skywalker. We have some pretty diverse opinions about it. How does it do as a capper to the modern Star Wars trilogy, as well as the entire Skywalker ennealogy (that's the word; Jamie looked it up)? Plus at the end we go over our new Patreon tiers going live January 1!

He drank himself some soup from a widdle bowl you guys! That was the important part at least, especially because we have been through some things the last few days. What did we think of Rando's side quest to a sleepy village with no major threats whatsoever?

NYCC 2019

Show Notes:

Page had the opportunity to interview a number of different cool people at New York Comic Con 2019! First up is Mike Costas of Prop Works, the company that runs the Marvel prop auctions. Then it's Jeff Annison of Legion M, an equity crowdfunding movie financier. And finally, we have an interview and panel audio from Samantha Bee and her team at Full Frontal! Some of the audio during the Samantha Bee interview is a little rough, so our apologies for that.

Politics and Jewishness in Comics

Show Notes:

A few months back, Art Spiegelman wrote an article about how Marvel censored an essay he wrote for them. This prompted us to talk about the role of politics and Jewishness in comics. And with Ike Perlmutter in the news with Kevin Feige's promotion, this seemed like the perfect time to bring this one out. Plus, we haven't had anything else to talk about for a while.
