    Episode 1146 - Flickchart Forum: Sam Raimi

    Ian Wilson returns with a brand new Flickchart Forum, assessing the directorial career of Sam Raimi. Assisted by Desmond Reddick and Dave Probert, the panel ricochet from Raimi's early dealings in low budget horror to more mainstream 90s fare, the first Spider-Man films to grace the silver screen, and his more sporadic output since then. What will top the master list, and which films prove to be the most contentious?

    Episode 1142 - AEW in 2023

    It's been a year since Ian and Mike spoke about AEW, and holy hell so much has happened in those 12 months. Brawls, biting, singles fights, chokes, and thrown monitors!

    Episode 1141 - Flickchart Forum: Star Wars

    Episode 1141 - Flickchart Forum: Star Wars

    The Flickchart Forum returns to chart how the Star Wars franchise has gone from having an obvious worst movie 40 years ago to a less obvious worst movie after the release of eight more movies since the original trilogy. Ian Wilson is joined by Michael David Sims and Dan Toland to go over the three trilogies of The Skywalker Saga and the two Star Wars Stories from the late 2010s. Is the obvious film the best? Is the prequel trilogy responsible for the worst film? And if the answer to both questions is yes, what is the order of all the films in between?

Terrific Comics and Geek Culture Podcast

This is a really great podcast about comics and other aspects of Geek Culture. There are typically two or three episodes per week, and there are several different formats for the episodes, most of them featuring different hosts. So in a given week there might be a "Waiting for the Trade" episode, where the hosts review collected editions, and a "First Issue Special" episode, where they talk about only #1 issues. Mike Sims, the owner of the Earth-2.net domain, works with a variety of cohosts for the most part; some segments are done by people other than Mike completely. This helps to keep it interesting, as you'll hear a variety of perspectives and personalities on this program. The focus is mainly on comics, but video games, TV, and movies are also discussed (mainly, of course, comic book adaptations), and there have even been a few classic radio dramas

If you have any interest in comics or geek culture, this is an entertaining and informative podcast.

Will is too obnoxious as the host...

He sounds so condescending when he discusses shows. The constant unneccessary swearing gets annoying as well.

A Plesant Surprise

I had forgotten I had downloaded an episode at one point, then the other day as I was working I found it. Surprisingly an hour long show about the civil war comics really help you get through the work day
