Wooo new episode! I'm already missing Chris Have fun on your walkabout buddy!

I just heard a podcast review the new Morgan Spurlock doco (they didn't like it) so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

* take that Dan! 

Coulda been foist if I didn't have words to type! Coulda been a contender...

[Tom Morris]

Family Circus talk?  sounds interesting...

[leafinsectman (Dan)]

Sorry if I missed the memo but when did the show turn into the 11 O'Clock Porncast? Y'all talkin' about whether or not to take off panties, Vince's voice is all deep and shit like he got replaced by Teddy Pendergrass. Not complainin'!

Vince: "My daughter asked me what Adelle's last name was.

I said Computer."

You hilarious MFer!

Congested Vince could work for NPR.

50 mins into it. DAP and Jason are awesome as usual. I can't get over how fucking sexy the big V sounds. And holy shit, is Mario okay? Next time, maybe don't open the Casket of Ancient Winters while you're recording

Jason, how much does your wife charge for wife lessons? I'll have to enroll the missus into her class

The guys I was listening to talk about Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope knew well enough about comics but it wasn't really their lives like it is with a lot of us. They didn't dig it and thought it was kinda masturbatory. And they got the sense that Morgan Spurlock just gave a bunch of cameras to some dudes and asked them to go film random stuff. I dunno, maybe it's mostly for us fans.

As someone who's never been to an American con, I think I'd dig it based on what Jason had to say about it. I'mguessing it's not gonna blow people away in terms of quality but I'd love to get a glimpse into the lives of con goers and I'm looking orward to eventually watching it.

By the way, please send some thoughts and prayers to Tony DeZuniga, he could really use it.

Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham, Cameron Stewart, Yanick Paquette, and Scott Clark/Dave Beatty,

I wonder how many times I'll have to change my pants over the course of this discussion.

[mguy1977]

Read Saga!

And yes I did the Batman Morrison eyeroll. Guilty as charged I don't deny it.  I am just that more grateful for Synder & Company on Batman & J.H. Williams III for Batwoman.   Thank you! Thank you!

Grant's Batman is the best DC non vertigo comics since DKR.

Was the Batman Inc. review somehow on the episode twice or did I hear things in my midnight new baby half awakeness? Love the episode and the review of the spurlock doc.

I saw that comic-con doc and it was designed to annoy me I think, the movie peddles in geek acceptance and masturbatory musings about pop-culture. I find the people who see this film as a positive affirmation of geekdom as an ego boost for their hobbies and habits to be kind of pathetic(Yes I have heard this). If the internet has shown us anything it is that people have all forms of interests and shame is out of date concept when it comes down to it. Also like Spurlock's other stuff it is so incredibly shallow and without conflict that it becomes a waste of time.

[Christopher Stark]

Just started the episode and laugh every time Wood says "toy boat" when Vince starts the intro. But after watching Regular show, all I think now is "trash boat"
