6th: Bad Buttons, Juggling Joes, and Drifting Dragons
August 21, 2020
We discuss Bad Idea’s Button, G.I. Joe Classified and the fear of missing out, and the Drifting Dragons manga. Plus, we pack a whole lot more into the nooks and crannies of this episode. Tastes like it’s got butter inside.
Some Highlights:
- The Button: We discuss the new click-demanding overlord
- Ramon Villalobos was announced, and it was almost missed — we didn’t miss it
- We detour into cancel-ville, and try to delicately navigate those roads
- We relish in the art of some of our favorite Bad Idea illustrators: Lewis, Ramon, Juan… now give us Mico!
- Our reading habits are smeared all over the place, do you have this problem?
- The difficulty of getting G.I. Joe Classified figures, and the NES Classic
- How do we handle that fear of missing out?
- Paul is better at avoiding the Pokemon effect — he doesn’t have to get them all
- Sean’s Transformers/Wolverine rule for movies, and how it applies to G.I. Joe
- How not to tell people what to enjoy
- Umbrella Academy is some good stuff — and strange
- Drifting Dragons aren’t your hobbit’s typical dragon
- Finding that New Thing is very exciting: we have recent examples
