Mediasplode #4 – ‘That Thing You Do!’, Top 5 Tom Hanks Films, and Quarantine Streaming
June 26, 2020 4:25 pm "This is our premier steamer trunk, it's all handmade, only the finest materials. It's even watertight, tight as a drum. If I had the need, and the wherewithal, Mr. Banks, this would be my trunk of choice."

May 18, 2020 4:38 pm I agree with you completely. It was important to show the dark side of post-war prosperity.

Booksplode #36 – Robin: Year One
March 28, 2020 1:40 pm First of all, I would never in a million years recommend "Knightfall" to anyone.
As we said on the show, Chuck Dixon wrote terrific batman books for, literally, over a decade. Here are some of his great runs:
Batgirl: Year One #1-9
Nightwing #1-70
Robin #1-100
Birds of Prey #1-46
Detective Comics #644-729
If comicbookdb.com wasn't still down I would tell you which collections they exist in. BATGIRL: YEAR ONE is obviously collected and some-to-a good portion of the NIGHTWING, ROBIN, and BIRDS OF PREY runs are also collected.

Booksplode #36 – Robin: Year One
March 28, 2020 1:34 pm In his very first appearance, in DETECTIVE COMICS #38 (1940), in the very first panel in which he appears in costume -- after a snappy two-page origin -- this is what the caption says:
"And thus Dick Grayson, by the hand of fate, is transformed into that astonishing phenomenon that young Robin Hood of today -- Robin the Boy Wonder!"
(Clearly, they are missing an em dash between "phenomenon" and "that.")

Pick of the Week #721 – Doctor Doom #6
March 8, 2020 4:07 pm The Flash TV series was being developed in 2013. They obviously knew where they were going with the West family because, as CCO of DC Entertainment, Geoff Johns was able to introduce the corresponding comic book version in 2014.
