Fresh from this week's double-shot (#128 and #129) of A Podcast with Ross and Nick, Nick Marino(that's me!) and Ross Campbell reunite to talk about Glorious, the recent Super Haters story featuring the extreme warrior woman, Glory.
We reveal the secret origin of the story arc, share some behind-the-scenes info about the production of the webcomics, and ruminate on the (super bloody) lasting effects that this tale will have on Destruct-O-Tron and Mind's Eye as they move forward.
No start theme. No end theme. No set topic. No limits! It's an all-natural, uncut bonus episode spontaneously recorded after #128.
Kaylie, Ross, and I start out talking about depictions of different body types in comics and other pop media. Eventually, the conversation shifts to a discussion about the podcast itself. And it ends with a rant about Ross's computer problems.
The verdict is that the Gen X movie is a mess of 90s filmmaking mistakes, but it also has some intriguing positive qualities.
After the end theme, Ross and I play a phone call from Zach from Colorado (wait... or is it "Zack"??? correct me if I'm wrong!) who reveals an interesting factoid about the connection between Jem and the Pryde of the X-Men.

ALSO... be back tomorrow for a special uncut bonus episode of A Podcast with Kaylie and Ross and Nick!
Neal wants to know -- what's the deal with wearing camo? Nick thinks it's just as much about the social statement as it is the fashion statement.
Then, after Nick talks about The Avengers movie and its relationship to the modern military industrial complex, Neal wants to know -- what's the deal with Warner Bros and how come they haven't turned The Authority into a movie yet?
Then it's 90s retro -- grunge vs. rave!!! The Blade movie had a sweet blood rave, but Neal's more interested in Eddie Vedder. Nick digs all of the modern rave retro but wonders just how good things really are for Gavin Rossdale.
One year ago this Wednesday, Kenny and Nick (that's me!) started this fighting games podcast and it's still going strong... SO WE'RE CELEBRATING!!!
A random screencap from Marvel Super Heroes because, well... why not?
For our anniversary-cast, Kenny and I reveal the secret origin of the HyperComboCast and share some factoids about ourselves. Plus, we answer an unexpected phone call from Kenny's mom, who talks about her love for the Dead or Alive series.
Brian reaches into his bag of writing tricks at S.P.A.C.E. in 2011.
We share our favorite kinds of scripts, our preferred methods of collaboration, our best writing experiences, and our worst ones.
Tell us how you like to write your comics -- call 412-567-7606 to leave a 3 minute message on our automated comment line. We'll play what you say on the show!
After the end theme (which happens somewhere in the middle of the episode), we talk about Mind's Eye for a bit, discussing her background and costume. And we chat about the inspiration for RALF.
But then we start bullshitting about other stuff again.
Ross tells the thrilling tale of how he got the gig with IDW, his artistic process for the issue, and tons more.
Plus, we answer your questions from Twitter, Facebook, and deviantART! (And there are so many shout-outs that I'm not even gonna try to type them out.)
Meanwhile, Neal's on Crackle and that's the way he likes it. But he thinks the original Ghostbusters flick is waaaaay overrated (which may or may not be related to all of the Crackle he's on).
