Comic Book Podcast | Talking Comics Talking Comics

Sometimes the front catch up goes too long, I would also have them be mindful of who cuts off who but they know their stuff!

These folks take great deep dives into social justice aspects of comics. Anyone who complains about the intersection of politics and comics is dumb in these reviews. Would love more queer and POC voices on the podcast

I used to love this podcast and listened to it faithfully every week, but lately it has become way too political. I still enjoy it but don’t listen to it as much. Every time one of my favorite comics are mentioned, the hosts often go into long political rants and opinions despite the comic book topic. They are now even only seem to be picking comics and etc. that seem to promote their political agendas. I am a very open minded person, and I am for women’s rights, gay rights, equality etc, but I don’t like how certain social justice messages are preached over and over in this podcast and the hosts no longer seem to even give room to anyone else’s views. The commentators on this podcasts are very knowledgeable and can be entertaining, but some of their constant political discussions can be a disappointing distraction at times. Is this a comic book podcast or is this a political podcast? It’s really hard to tell these days. I miss the days when Bobby was here because he kept things so much more balanced.

This podcast lost all credibility with me when they did an end of the year award podcast where they nominate books that half the group haven’t read. Some said that I haven’t read it but I’ll back you on the nomination. Just like the Academy Awards they nominate books that no one has heard of or things that scream “I’m a hipster”. Also to get an award, all you have to do is appear on their show at sometime. They will then talk about you like the second coming of Jesus even though they may be a mediocre talent at best.
