178463_463024790407272_677197395_o

Strike up the band and sound the alarms, because Comic Timing has reached its sesquicentennial! To commemorate the occasion, Brent and Ian are joined by the Patrons of Comic Book Podcasting, the Sultans of Speaking Geek…Comic Geek Speak! That’s right, Shane Kelly, Adam Murdough and Jamie D are on the show as we all discuss Team Books. Team Books were last covered on the show waaaaaaaay back in Episode 10A (two co-hosts ago!). The varying voices lend a lot to the topic at hand, and we all had a terrific time talking comics together. Hopefully you’ll agree after giving this one a listen! And for those of you who regularly listen to CGS, enjoy the segment included within this episode, music and all.

Speaking of listening, Brent and I want to put a huge thanks out to the listeners that have stuck by us over the years. Although we might not be the regular with our releases, we both aabsolutely love doing this show, and could not do it without your continuing support. Here’s to 150 more!

Comic Timing Extra Point – Episode 6: Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark

spider-man-turn-off-the-dark

This past weekend, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark turned off the lights and packed up its sets for good at the Foxwoods Theater on Broadway. To commemorate the passing of the troubled musical (okay fine, it’s moving to Las Vegas), Ian is joined for this Extra Point, for the first time, by friend and fellow geek Austin Cantrell, who got to the see the original version of the play before Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa was brought in the try and fix it; Ian got to see it post-Taymor in mid-December of 2013. Ian and Austin compare versions and notes (with Kris chiming in from time to time) as we try to figure out just what went wrong here. We also discuss various other missteps, including what eventually became “The Emperor’s New Groove,” which was then titled “Kingdom of the Sun.” You can check out the documentary on “Kingdom of the Sun” at the link embed below. And major thanks to Austin for joining in!
