Episode 37-Better Ripoffs … Clones

Clones … Ripoffs There are a Bunch

Ripoffs throughout comics, movies literature etc… there are a lot of the Namor-Aquaman, Superman-Shazam, Twilight-50 Shades of Grey, Tomb Raider-Uncharted the list goes on and on, but sometimes the ripoff transcends the original and today the Mikes are gonna attempt to stay on topic long enough to talk about it

  • So many ripoffs so little time
  • Doomsday is obviously a ripoff of the Hulk and they never address that
  • Game of Thrones is not a ripoff of Lord of the rings
  • They completely skipped Music! Nirvana’s Come as you are is a ripoff of The 80’s by the Killing joke
  • They also don’t cover video game Ripoffs… wait the do, That whole Mario thing
  • They suck at the whole Mario thingell Batman Sucks as a hero and a human being
  • Seriously Batman SUCKS!!!! Bassi Agrees!!!

Today we have Just the two Mikes chatting it up

Episode 36-Daunting Fandoms

Fandoms…. There is a lot of them

Fandoms come in many colors, shapes and niches… Some of them running so long you have to wonder how one can be interested in all of them. Today the guys talk about big established fandoms that folks just find so big that they’re just not interested enough to get into.

  • Fandoms are for fun not homework
  • Mainstream comics (Marvel/DC) are just really long and open ended
  • How much Warhammer is too much Warhammer
  • Dragonball Super just released and amazingly fun movie
  • How much Dragon Ball is there?
  • So we have Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Heroes Etc…
  • When is Doctor Who going to end… Never duh

Episode 33-Christmas Specials

Christmas Specials, We want more of them!!

Christmas Special, They might just be the cornerstone of holiday geekdom. Star Wars Holiday special while both Famous and Infamous is often remembered as a must see of Star Wars (like watching a car wreck). Well the guys get together (minus Pete, so it’s 2 Mikes and a Beau) to talk about their favorite holiday specials and ones they would want.

  • Opening up with the elf from Rudolph…. Bad Dentist
  • Not enough Holiday specials in comics and Shows
  • Does anyone actual read this?
  • Really I do feel like I can just go on in this section and no one will care… I know the guys don’t read it so…
  • I will remember you… La da la dee da da
  • We will be going away for the holidays to return mid Febuary
  • They reall should animate a Lobo Christmas Special
  • Tired of typing, so this is the last bullet point

Christmas Specials, Holiday specials in general should be celebrated, a nice break from all the angry geek fights over silly things and celebrate why we love this pop culture corner of our universe. Spend your time figuring out which superhero could pull off Santa’s job or would it require a team?

Episode 29- To the Fandom (Fanatics)

Fandom or Fanatics

A couple of months ago some of the Fandom went into an uproar over Voltron the Legendary Defender, the Guys usually avoid getting into subjects like this but it couldn’t be avoided, but they also couldn’t even stay on topic anyway. As such the talk about:

  • Beau has quite the opening statement full of love …?
  • Protect Stan Lee, he needs it, Stop abusing him
  • Green Lantern used to be a hippie?
  • Mike (the Darker Loader Mike) keeps channeling his inner M’baku on the War Line
  • Beau Intros Voltron
  • Who should get Busy (Shipping Characters)
  • The guys are so out of control they curse before the intro!
  • What the Hell is Raptor Ranchers?!!

They go on a tear over the subjects today, they don’t even know what this episode is about. Pete wasn’t here for this one, he has to much chill

Episode 17- Cartoon talk with Gina Ippolito!!

Hey internet!

Geek of the week is back with a vengeance, and without further ado, we’re joined by Comedian, writer, director and actress Gina Ippolito!

Gina is a writer on the regular Show, which just wrapped up its eighth and final season. She’s worked on  a few other shows like The Powerpuff Girls reboot. People who are familiar with the interwebs may have seen her on as well as a member of the Screen Junkies Crew, duking it out on MovieFights, and a writer on Honest Trailers, as well as tons and tons and tons of podcasts.

It’s a full house today, as Beau, Mike, Pete, and Gina talk about Saturday Morning (the cartoon part, not the afternoon basketball part). They ponder such things as:

  • Who the Hell are Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, and why should we care about his magic root?
  • All those times Van Damme accidentally kicked people in the head.
  • Thuuundarrr The Barbarian!! vs. Hurculoids!
  • Has Gummy Berry Juice contributed to the steroid abuse scandals in professional sports?
  • Why do all the ladies (and Donatello) get stuck with the bow staffs?
  • and remember the SecTaurs??

Oh, and Sorry about the delays – Fill in the blanks with this one: (technical difficulties, Jobs, the environment, -can we use the upcoming robopocalypse ?). We’re back on regular schedule with a host of new episodes and a bunch of special guests!

You can find Gina at @GinaIppy on twitter and on her knowing is half the podcast on facebook and Itunes. The Regular Show’s all wrapped up, but you can check out  episodes on Cartoon Network!
