Sinners wasn’t just magical vampires
Apr 28, 202500:48:04Tap to summarizeSharmane Fury joins Old Man Wade to discuss a spoiler-filled episode of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. Among the topics are how the characters used common sense in a magical world, the antagonist wasn’t a racist white guy, and so much more. Also, remember the phrase “It’s half a kink shame.”
Transcribe →The Power Fantasy episode
Mar 5, 202501:26:29Tap to summarizeOld Man Wade and Supa Woke Javi talk about their favorite comic book of the year, The Power Fantasy by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Caspar Wijngaard. The Dauntless Duo breaks down the first five issues, why they love it, discusses the politics, and so much more. It's doubtful Wade and Javi have talked as passionately about a comic book since the beginning of the X-Men's Krakoan Era.
Transcribe →Dr. Doom Understands Tarrifs
Feb 19, 202501:51:09Tap to summarizeAfter Wade tells a happy story from his personal life, the guys get into whether or not Storm *needs* a solo comic book (despite loving Murewa Ayodele's series). It isn't a knock on her. In fact, she's so good she may not need it to be great. After that, it's on to Prime Video's Invincible. The Bald Black Nerds break down what is making the third season the best so far, talk about the criticism the animation has gotten, ponder if Cecil is as bad as Amanda Waller and Nick Fury, and if we're getting certain scenes that could be triggering to viewers. The episode transitions to One World Under Doom No. 1. This is full of spoilers and, fun fact, Doom may have gotten things right. All of this and so much more. Subscribe to the show, leave a review, and tell a friend.
Transcribe →Fantastic Four Party Pooper
Feb 12, 202501:01:47Tap to summarizeThe Bald Black Nerds return to talk about the Fantastic Four trailer, speculate what we saw, and what could happen (one of the crew is a party pooper). That somehow leads to another conversation about Madame Web and how bad it is because Javi watched the first ten minutes of the movie. There's also a discussion of whether comic book origins are needed in comic book movies, our favorite comic books of the year so far, and more! #DammitWade
Transcribe →Old Man Mutant Ninja Turtles
Jan 23, 202502:00:32Tap to summarizeAfter a long hiatus, Old Man Wade and Supa Woke Javi are BACK and they're joined by the host of Epic Tales From the Sewers, Justin Cooper. There's a lot of talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books, movies, and cartoons. Since Jason Aaron is the newest writer for the TMNT comic, it turns into a conversation about his run of Absolute Superman, Scott Snyder's Absolute Batman, and Kelly Thompson's Absolute Wonder Woman. All this and the normal sidetracks and randomness you love from the show. #DammitWade
