Episode 106 – Sensitivity Training
This week, the boys sit down after their busy weekends (and in James’ case, a battle with the plague slash totally normal cold that is kind kind of annoying) to relax with some soothing TV comedy, namely Prince showing up on New Girl and last week’s episode of Cougar Town. True Detective will have to wait!
Beyond the blissful glow of the television, the boys actually surprised themselves this week by talking about comics for over half the episode. That must be some kind of record! U-S-A! U-S-A! U! S! A! Last week was a pretty great week for comics, especially if you’re a fan of Nathan Edmondson, but the star of the week was Ms. Marvel #1, by G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona and Ian Herring. In addition, they also discuss whether the invocation of domestic violence in Black Widow #3 was effective, distracting or disrespectful. And for once, we’d actually like to hear your thoughts on it! Let us know via email, Twitter or the comments section what you thought about the issue and its contents, and if that kind of thing can ever be truly well handled by a male creators.
