This week we are back with another Comic Book Show with Ryan Dunlavey wrote a 2009 M.O.D.O.K. One Shot for the Dark Reign crossover that served as one of the inspirations for the new HULU MODOK show, brought to us by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt.
We talk to Ryan about all things MODOK, including the pilot! We also get a little bit into Erie PA, Comic conventions slowly returning and some great Crossovers and 30 second pitches on more shows Stoopid human (the group behind Robot Chicken and MODOK should do next)

This week Steve and Chris dig into their Nerdiest roots (after defeating a crisis of the infinite podcasts) and talk about the Crisis Crossover in the Arrow-Verse
And to help them is Jeane Wong, our very special guest, who works as a Script Coordinator for Arrow and has written 3 episodes of the show! Get some behind the scenes notes, find out just how hard this show was to put together, and how awesome is Marv Wolfman exactly? All this plus what other DC shows should have been crossed over with? And what would be the second greatest Television Crossover of all time?

This week we look at the new series based on another Garth Ennis comic, The Boys. On Amazon Prime, this show takes a dark look at Super Heroes. Superheroes? Dark and Cynical? That's what we do best!
Dive in with Chris and Steve and see how deep the show goes, and if it can overcome it's cynicism enough to be likable (spoiler yes)
Also can we cross over The Boys with Girls? Of course we can. Plus 30 second pitches!
