Special guest Kelly (writer of She Has No Head, podcaster of 3 Chicks Review Comics, and blogger-er of 1979 Semi-Finalist) makes her triumphant return to lay down an ethical smackdown, discussing fan entitlement and creator responsibility.
Tell us what you think that creators owe their fans! Leave us a message by calling our automated comment line at 412-567-7606, and then we'll play what you say on our next show.
PLUS: Boogers, podcasting talk, Paris Hilton, Ross likes Hunger Games, Neal, superheroes in thongs, Galaxy Quest ringtones, and Tim Allen.
AND AT THE END: A talent throwdown!!! Kelly and Ross believe in talent... but Nick says he sorta doesn't. IS HE (and by he, I mean me) FULL OF SHIT???
ANNOUNCEMENT: Tuesday's regular weekly series -- the AudioShocker Podcast -- is going bi-monthly (as in once every two weeks). That means the the AFI 100 Movies Podcast now has a new day and schedule -- alternating every other Tuesday with the AudioShocker Podcast!
Conrad and Nick both agree -- despite the goofiness of the music numbers and some weirdness with the casting, this is a well-made movie that deserves its place on the AFI 100 Years 100 Movies List.
Conrad was a little bit bored by this classic Hitchcock thriller. He's pretty sure that he prefers the unofficial 90s teen remake, If Looks Could Kill.
Welcome back to the Destruct-O-Cast, a new weekly podcast devoted exclusively to the Super Haters webcomic! In this episode, Justique joins Nick (that's me!) to discuss the co-writing process.
To leave us feedback of your own, tweet @super_haters, write on the Super Haters Facebook wall, or call our automated comment line at 412-567-7606 and we'll play your message on the show.
After that, Justique and Nick dive into the details of their co-writing relationship. Who's better with plots? Who's better with new ideas for characters? Who's better with character voices? Listen and find out!!!
NEXT: If he can get his Skype up and running, our guest will be Andrew Kilian. If not, we'll have a surprise guest on the show!
For me, one of the highlights of the show was meeting tons of awesome comic book fans. At our table, we hosted an AudioShocker Trivia Challenge where attendees could answer questions and win some kickass comics.
I started off by awarding sets of comics to fans who answered three questions correctly. But by Saturday afternoon, I ran out of sets! However, people still wanted to take the Trivia Challenge... so I started giving out my own self-published comics.
Now, for your viewing enjoyment, here are our illustrious winners:
To the best of my memory, here's what I gave away (from top to bottom):
Mutant X #1-17
A chunk of Aquaman and Adventure Comics (19 consecutive issues, including the Death of a Prince storyline)
Chaos War #1-5 miniseries
John Byrne's full run on West Coast Avengers
Whilce Portacio's arc on X-Factor where they send baby Cable into the future
A year of electric blue Superman (54 issues... some signed by Ron Frenz)
An AudioShocker first! On this week's Sequential Underground, you get to choose your own adventure!!! We've got two podcasts... and two distinctly different paths for you to travel down...
Sequential Underground #33b - Not Comics
Dave, Shawn, and Nick discuss almost everything except for comics in this stream of consciousness conversation about life, love, and uhhh... other stuff. NSFW.
Which path will you travel down? Will you choose the refined discourse of #33a... or the confessional spontaneity of #33b? The choice is yours.
[Note: We received some awesome feedback regarding our previous episode with Tom Scioli, #32 - The Superhero Virus. I forgot to read that feedback this week. SORRY! I promise I'll read it on #34.]
It's the ultimate battle you've all been waiting for... the supreme throwdown of all beef supremes... it's...
These AudioShocker co-founders and podcast co-hosts can't agree on anything in this episode covering important topics such as Beyonce's birthing process, British actors on TV vs. British actors in film, and Fletch vs. Fletch Lives...
Finally, after their massive battle of the brains, Neal and Nick put out a wild offer to listeners -- if you think you can do better, then DO IT. We want you to take the AudioShocker Podcast "I Can Do It Better" Challenge.
What's that, you ask? WELL I'LL TELL YOU: we'll let you and a friend host the AudioShocker Podcast for one full month. If, after that month, you've been able to produce weekly episodes better than us, we'll let you continue to host Tuesday's AudioShocker Podcast for three weeks out of every month... for eternity! For more info, email nick@audioshocker.com.
But if you're too chicken to do that and you just wanna leave us feedback, call our automated comment line at 412-567-7606 and we'll play your message on the show.
In this intimate podcast message, Dr. Riot shares the games he's looking forward to in 2012, a few solid fighting games tips, and some of the great things you can expect from the HyperComboCast in the coming months.

After the end theme, Nick sends out special thanks to the godfathers of the Super Haters, Neal Shyam and Seth Fronzoli. And here's a link to more about the band that partially inspired Destruct-O-Tron's name, Disasternauts (on the show, I call them Destructonauts... whoops!!!).
NEXT: Super Haters co-writer Justique joins in to discuss the creative process and answer more of your questions.

Does Ross Campbell owe you anything? Probably not. (photo shamelessly lifted from Tom Spurgeon's 2011 TCAF coverage)
