Podcast! The Comics, Episode 8 – Tell 'Em
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for another trip down the Comics! The Bloghole into the seedy world of the Pohdkasst. Without an amazing interviewee to tether us, what will we get up to?
Dong jokes, probably.
This episode is brought to you by Wizard’s Comics, home of the best deal on comics in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Check out their website for a list of the week’s new releases and information on upcoming Magic, The Gathering tournaments, and watch their Twitter account for news and announcements about the shop and its wares.
Episode 8 – Tell ‘Em
In this sadly bee-less episode, the boys regroup after James made Brandon watch an episode of Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men with him and talk about the show’s problems. From its gender relations problems to its representation of comics retail, the boys discuss whether, as the most culturally salient example of comic book shops & fans, the show is actually harmful to the industry.
Don’t worry, though! They still insult each other and talk about comics they liked.
