It's a social media smorgasbord as Nick Marino continues to force Ross Campbell to help him create a MySpace page for his real-life supervillain, Nik Neptune. Ross drops news that there might be pre-release copies of Wet Moon 5 at SDCC, and then the guys discuss LiveJournal, how Ross knows nothing about Facebook (gasp!), and doesn't want to join Twitter (double gasp!). Thrill to the sounds of Ross and Nick as they figure out what to name this podcast series! This episode ends the first story arc of A Podcast with Ross and Nick (episodes 1-5). Be back next week for the start of the second story arc!!!

Following up on their X-Men movie debate, Ross Campbell and Nick Marino move into comics and talk about their favorite X-Men comic books. As an adult Ross loves the Grant Morrison run, and as a kid, Ross loved X-Force. And he loves Generation X, too. Nick loved X-Factor by Peter David and Howard Mackie as a kid, and the Chris Claremont and Paul Smith From the Ashes X-Men as an adult. Meanwhile, real-life supervillain Nik Neptune MySpaces his real-life superhero arch-nemesis. Then, as the episode closes, the King of the Evil Seas struggles to set his MySpace username.

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.
Nick is not feeling Fanboys, Neal is not feeling Transporter 3, Lil Flip raps about Kim Kardashian while Hurricane Chris raps about Halle Berry, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever sucks, Nick is listening to a lot of video game music from vgmusic.com (Contra is the best), the guys reminisce about watching Booker T. play live, Death of Autotune prompts Nick to serenade Neal with Believe (you know, by Cher), the guys wanna know what happened to Alia Shawkat, and Nick talks about Captain America #600 (new) and Iron Man #182 (old).
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.)
Spinning directly out of AudioShocker Podcast #82, Ross Campbell and Nick Marino visit the World Superhero Registry and hilarity ensues. All the real-life superheroes are spooky, but not spooky enough to stop the guys from making fun of them relentlessly. Some of the most ridiculous heroes include Dark Guardian, Citizen Prime, the Black Monday Society, Captain Black, Nyx, the Vixens of Valour, and tons more. Inspired by all the real heroes, Nick gets the craving to become a real-life supervillain, and thus... Nik Neptune is born!!!
