Also, Dave has a Great New Big Idea, which involves ranking the top 3 Comic Book runs we have discussed on the show in 2017, and also our top 3 genre movies! Don’t worry we also have a Most Disappointing Category as well!

We cover IN DEPTH the Doct Who Xmas Special, and Dave gives his (sleep-interrupted) review of Bright.

Stew has done some research this week, and it is do with the top acting earners in Hollywood in 2017  – Dave gets outraged by what he feels is a low valuation on Hugh Jackman’s earnings, so get ready for a reminder of his property holdings! Stew MEANWHILE has all the DETAILS on Mark Wahlberg!

Welcome to another episode of Signal of Doom. My brave co-host Stew is suffering from flu but he still punches the clock and gives the Signal his all! He even agrees with Dave 100% about something! This is UNHEARD OF!

The boys talk the Thor: Ragnarok movie in detail, with both spoiler and non spoiler reviews, while also going back in time to Stan & Jack’s original Thor Ragnarok story!

The boys talk Chuck Dixon’s new comic project Avalon, part of the AltHero universe, which is open for crowdfunding at: https://freestartr.com/project/althero/

Chuck is doing a comic book for this new universe and also a novel, Vendetta! Chuck had me at the title!

Also, Dave is hosting an Ebay auction for some action figures and statues – his eBay auction handle is redlantern2051 – check it out for some figures and some upcoming trades at good prices!

Justice League tracking numbers and suspected Chinese leaks about a Green lantern are discussed, along with our concerns over the run time. Dave has more thoughts on a Catwoman and Batman wedding, while Stew grits his teeth and tries not to die of the illness sapping his strength and moral fibre!

We go IN DEPTH on Shazam and the casting announcements,  and Dave pitches what would happen if he was running Warners – it would be hard to tell what was a solo movie and what was a Justice League film! Stew of course, hates it, as he hates FUN!

Speaking of no fun, Dave and Stew both turn into two very old grumpy men as we scorn this week’s reboots & reheats which includes Lethal Weapon 5, Magnum Pi AND Ace Ventura!

Plus, we have Punisher Playbook – strap in kids! Its FULL THROTTLE as we RISE from the Swamp!

Get ready for Mr Potato Head, kids!

Kevin Smith is discussed in detail, Dave gets DEEP, and talks about possibly giving to charity ONE DAY, if a lot of financial conditions and goals have met. We then talk at length about some new revelations about Heath Ledger on the Dark Knight, we talk about his death and his impact, overall, while Stew takes us back to the celebrity gossip mill of the mid 2000s.  This episode Dave goes in depth about his love for Catwoman, and also his research into Eliza Gonzalez and her display of possibly the Catwoman suit! A SIGNAL BET is made as the boys speculate on the wedding plans of Batman and Catwoman, and Dave takes it upon himself to become  a WEDDING PLANNER! All this and much more on the Signal. Also….NANCY DREW MEETS THE WIRE!
