Kenny and Nick kick off Round 3 of the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Character Theme Song Showdown Tournament by responding to some listener feedback. We play a call-in from Pierce Johnson, who wants to know about playing fighting games on the PC. Kenny drops some knowledge and Nick has a gift for Pierce -- his unused copy of Street Fighter IV PC. Then we answer an email from Kurtis Homan about the Ultimate Fighting System card game.

And now... the tourney!
Match 1: Ghost Rider
VS. Strider Hiryu
Match 2: Hawkeye
VS. Firebrand
During Match 1's discussion, Nick mishears a key piece of opinion from Kenny... will this mistake derail the entire tournament?!?!? Luckily, Match 2 is a much easier battle.
The winners of the two matches face off for the last spot in the finals. Which hot track will make it to the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Character Theme Song Showdown Tournament, FINAL ROUND???
Here it is. The final Project Basement drawing. It's by Dan Greenwald, co-host of Sequential Underground podcast and the force behind the Comic Book Pitt podcast. Also, he's the creator of the comics Blue Wraith and Spacebase 01, among others.
As for this drawing, well I think it's very fitting for the final PB sketch. It's simple, it's fun, and it has personality. I don't know if it's a Bad Good Guy or a Good Bad Guy... what I do know it that it's just plain good.
Both Conrad and Nick rewatched this film, enjoying the weirdness of it but debating its merits as an AFI film. Conrad thinks it should remain at its original #46 placement, but Nick agrees with its lower spot on the revised 2008 AFI list. What do you think? Call our automated comment line at 412-567-7606 and let us know!
NEXT: If everything goes to plan, we'll be back in two weeks to talk about A Streetcar Named Desire and Birth of a Nation.
Then it's time for listener feedback! We've got call-ins from a creepy guy and Rachelle (@morosepoet). You can leave your own call-in message through our automated comment line at 412-567-7606.
Anyway, Rachelle wants to know about drawing and music. Nick rambles for a while, and Ross manages to talk about music but not really answer the question.
And somehow we end up talking about Ernest:
Then, after the end theme, Ross gives a very non-spoilerish Wet Moon 6 update! (HINT: It's finished.)
That leads into an intense Saturday Night Live discussion, spinning off into other comedy, including Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (Neal's favorite movie):
...AND SuperTwins, a new superhero comedy web series that Neal and Nick learned about at NYCC 2011:
Match 1 is a super close fight, while Match 2 is far more decisive. The winner from Match 1 goes up against the winner from 2... and it's a another super close battle! Who will advance to the finals? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!
P.S. Pierce, we didn't forget about your message! We'll answer it on the next show.
Hmmm... Bad Good Guy? More like Jerk Good Guy... or maybe even Asshole Good Guy. Either way, this drawing by Shawn is gorgeous and it screamed "feature me on Project Basement" when I first saw it, so I don't care how bad Hal is!!!
What do comics creators deserve? Shawn and Nick discuss the question, from unknown webcomics creators to the most famous and successful creators in comic books.
Do webcomics creators deserve compensation from their fans? Should it be money, gifts, or just a constant stream of feedback?
