Arrogant

If you are looking for a podcast with a couple of hosts who are really negative and arrogant then this is the one for you. Chris, was on another podcast I have listened to for years, and just might of been one of the most negative hosts I have ever listened to. Have to say, that particular podcast got a lot better after he left it. Would pass over this one, there are a number of better comic book podcasts to listen than this one.

The best they are at what they do.

So glad this podcast if back! Was my favorite back in the day, it was dreadfully missed. The only comics podcast worth listening to.
