Stew is back in the BOARDROOM with the Fox Disney deal! Rupert is certainly COUNTING LOTS OF MONEY in his spacecraft circling Planet earth!

We go IN DEPTH on ALL of the above and then there’s Deadpool 2 to dcisuss, along with a Venom trailer POPPING OFF! A lot going in movie-land when it comes to our favourite superheroes!

Also Bendis is announced on Superman,  Dave goes in depth on this guy who has “mined” the Turtles voices on the Injustice 2 game, there’s a Usagi Yojimbo Tv show, James Mangold bashes Easter Eggs and post-Credit Scenes in movies, AMAZON PLANS A CONAN THE BARBARIAN TV SHOW, which is probably Dave’s favourite piece of news ever, and MUCH MORE!

#35: JLA: A Midsummer’s Nightmare, Bendis to DC, Conan vs Tolkien!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 3:02:36 — 84.4MB) | Embed

Hey gang! Stew and Dave are back, on Week 1 of our JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL! This week we discuss Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza’s “JLA: A Midsummer’s Nightmare”, a great Justice League comic from 1996!

Also, it’s “imagine if Dave had a soul week”, as he continues his one man war on the Internet, while still battling the remnants of his flu, and the BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK is two-fold! 1) Brian Michael Bendis is leaving Marvel for DC, which leads to Stew and Dave pitching books for him to write at DC, and then in MORE BIG NEWS there’s talk of Disney potentially acquiring the Fox movie library for their upcoming streaming service, along with the IP’s of properties such as X-Men and Fantastic Four!

Elsewhere the boys break into a spirited debate about the merits of Conan, and Dave has to advise Stew on the greatness of Robert E Howard! Then, we discuss the potential news that the Tolkien estate may be looking to close a deal for a Lord of the Rings TV series with Amazon! This leads to some heavily geeky discussion of what this could mean in terms of story potential.

In RED ALERT we have some great Justice League information from our normal Marvel encyclopaedia Drew Geraci, who talks about Justice League of America 200, and also details his experience on JLA and his favourite period!

Sorry but in the last half hour of the show there is some echo affect after something went wrong – it’s definitely listenable but I apologise for the inconvenience!
