Neal thinks that Nick would think that Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is racist. The Last Airbender trailer exceeds expectations but still disappoints these two Avatar fans who cannot get over the bizarre casting choices. Michael Jackson and Billy Mays have left the building. Play it to the Bone and Gran Torino are solid movies. Neal tells Nick about New Era hats with Marvel Comics stuff on them. Nick tells Neal about G-Man, Avengers: The Initiative, X-Men Legacy, Demon in a Bottle, and a short western comic by Skipper Martin from the new Outlaw Territory anthology. Also: is Alan Moore the literary Dov Charney? And what is podcast vérité?

As Fast As You Can, a garage rock song by Nik Furious. This is the first part of a ten part Beatcast series called Nik Furious: Then and Now. The Then and Now label is literal – the weeks will alternate between an old Nik Furious recording and a modern Nik Furious recording. If you can’t tell from a quick listen, this week’s installment is a Then recording.

Ross Campbell loves X-Men: The Last Stand (the third one). Nick Marino loves X-Men (the first one). It’s X-Men 1 vs. X-Men 3 in a movie debate battle royale (where the only REAL loser is X2: X-Men United). Will Nick be swayed by Ross’ love for the top-grossing yet critically-panned third installment? Or will Ross be persuaded by Nick’s passion for the groundbreaking yet visually-underwhelming first chapter? So much suspense! So many questions!! So many exclamation points!!! Also: Ross hates CG Patrick Stewart in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Nik Neptune puts a face to the name.

The saga continues! Ross Campbell and Nick Marino develop their answer to the World Superhero Registry: Nik Neptune, real-life supervillain. Actually, it’s more like Nick forces Ross to help him. Meanwhile, Ross talks about some of the details behind Wet Moon 5. Nick tries to squeeze as much info out of him as he can, but Ross refuses to give up any plot spoilers. For all the comic artists out there, Ross does give up a lot about the nuts and bolts of how the art of Wet Moon 5 came together. Then Ross makes tea and eats some dried apricots. Seriously. (We promise next week will be more exciting.)
