TATU (are they lesbians?), Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vivica A. Fox in The Hard Corps (not a porno), Mortal Kombat (bores Nick), Michael Jackson's toilet money (weirds us out), new Sade AND Bernie Worrell (not together... whatever, you get the idea), Jersey Shore on MTV (excites Neal), Dexter season finale (thrills Neal), and Daytripper #1 (satisfies Nick but leaves him longing for a cliffhanger).

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?

It's sad but true. Even a financial stalwart like the AudioShocker has buckled under the pressure of the economic crisis. Here are the Top 9 crazy events that have transpired due to monetary doom sweeping across all of America.
9. Ross Campbell wants us to pay him to do podcast interviews from now on. (C'mon, Ross... the damn things are already shameless fucking self-promotion!)
8. To save money on multimedia expenses, we almost changed our catchphrase to "Music. Movie. Comic. A little bit of media here and there is sort of our thing."
7. To save even more money, we almost changed our catchphrase to "iMeem. Hulu. Zuda. Free media is DEFINITELY our thing."
6. Gotham Chopra stopped hanging around the blog because his comic books all turned to liquid. (Get it!?! Virgin Comics = Liquid Comics! They used to be in print and now they're just online! ... Okay, fine, you win - the joke sucked.)
5. Justique has a whole lot less extra cash to spend on pornography. (She's down to about $200 per day.)
4. Nick has even less extra cash to spend on hookers. (He's down to about $2 per week... but DAMN that prosthetic handjob is worth every penny!)
3. Kirsten stopped commenting on Pete's blog posts because she was too busy earning some extra money on the side working as a high-paid lesbian escort (see this incriminating photo for evidence).
2. Neal couldn't hire the Elan Luz Rivera lookalike stripper he wanted for his birthday. (Instead, he had to settle for the Susan Sarandon lookalike GMILF from next door.)
1. We know you love the AudioShocker just the way it is, but be on the look out for our new blog name... COMING SOON: "Tampax Tampons presents the AudioShocker podcast & blog"!!! (Our new catchphrase: "We're stuffing some music, movies, and comics all up in that shit!")
More: The Top 9 Social Networks! (And how to choose the right one for you.)
Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.

An interview with Gotham Chopra, Chief Creative Officer and Editor in Chief of Virgin Comics. We talk about establishing a comic book publishing house, Shakti comics, Director’s Cut comics, Virgin Voices comics, and a partnership with the Sci-Fi network. Working with Mike Carey, Mukesh Singh, Jeff Parker, Garth Ennis, John Woo, Nic Cage, Jenna Jameson, Guy Ritchie, Jonathan Mostow, Andy Diggle, Ed Burns, and more. Such series as Dan Dare, Virulents, Shadow Hunter, Gamekeeper, 7 Brothers, and more. Plus an EXCLUSIVE announcement about the next Hollywood celebrity to be a featured creator at Virgin Comics… here’s a hint… claws, Broadway singing, and a blockbuster movie planned for 2009.
It’s baaack. Reads You Need. This has been a busy week for me, but I want to let you know about a few comics that came out last Wednesday that you should be checking out.
The Last Defenders #1: This exceptional first issue is the best book I read from the whole stack of Wednesday, March 12. Joe Casey and Jim Muniz take the notion of an average, if not troubled, superhero team and reinvent it for the post-Civil War Marvel Universe. It’s almost like a superhero sitcom full of sci-fi, big fights, and quirky characters (with Nighthawk at the center of the storm). The writing takes chances but it still provides solid traditional superhero story elements.
The 99 #6: If you follow my weekly posts on here at all, you probably know how much I love The 99. I even emailed scripter Fabian Nicieza to see if he would like to do an interview on the AudioShocker podcast. He graciously declined due to the fact that Stuart Moore is soon to be the new series writer. Still, this issue by Nicieza is terrific and well worth picking up.
Wonder Woman #18: I tried this series earlier in its relaunch and it just didn’t do it for me. But the combination of Gail Simone and Bernard Chang is stupendous in this issue, and I highly recommend you pick it up. Chang’s art is a fantastic blend of Steve Dillon and Aaron Lopresti, bringing both grace and personality to the page. Simone’s story is solid and fun, promising more great future issues.
On a side note, comic fans should keep their eyes glued to the AudioShocker site tomorrow as we release an interview with Gotham Chopra, the creative director behind the upstart comic book publisher, Virgin Comics. Gotham talks about the difficulties of launching a new comic book publisher. He discusses his experiences working with creative talent such as Nic Cage, John Woo, Jenna Jameson, and many more. And at the end of the episode, Gotham makes an exclusive announcement about the next celebrity soon to work with Virgin Comics.
We argue all the way about Day of the Dead, barbecue ribs with orange juice, Be Kind Rewind, Jack Black, The Eye, Free Jimmy, Reno 911 Miami, The Color Purple, Danny Glover, Herbie Hancock versus Amy Winehouse, The Wire, autographs, Virgin Comics, Jenna Jameson's Shadow Hunter, Coalition Comix, Gotham Chopra, World War Hulk Aftersmash Damage Control #2, Young Avengers Presents Hulkling, Daredevil #105, Captain America #35, X-Men Legacy #208, R Kelly, Candy Licker, and other things.
