3rd: Morals and Deathnopocalypse

July 30, 2020

Those Star Wars legends are punishment enough for Sean. Plus, Paul missed Turtles, The Musical Adventure, and maybe that’s ok.

Also in this episode:

  • Build-Your-Own rap battles and air guitar solos.
  • We unlock the usefulness of our childhood cartoons. And the colorforms.
  • We get the lesson for the day out of the way before the 17 minute mark. It is good cognitive therapy.
  • Let’s talk about some Samurai movies. We compare the eastern samurai to the western cowboy.
  • How we navigate a world full of streaming services.
  • We judge the Joker movie by its cover.
  • A little Lone Wolf and Cub talk, although only one of us has read it.
  • Paul dips his toes into Manga, so we talk about his entrance into that pool of work. Also: The great manga playoffs.
  • Paul is reading Deathnote, and Sean has read it in the past, so we talk about its merits, and what we like about it.
  • Sean is reading Age of Apocalypse, and Paul has read it in the past, so we talk about its merits, and what we like about it.
  • The physical experience of reading a physical comic book makes us appreciate the material much more.
  • We are not fans of the Walmart.

… and as always, the soothing sounds of outdoor Maine.
