Comic Timing Episode 230 – Kaiju Talk with Shawn Pryor

Leave a comment

It’s been a very long time, but this episode, Comic Timing welcomes back one of its favorite guests. Ian, Brandon and Raph are joined by the one, the only Shawn Pryor, as they discuss his upcoming book out of Epic Ink, Kaiju Unleashed: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Strange Beasts. The group go into everything from Godzilla to King Kong and back again, including the Rankin Bass kaiju collaborations between America and Japan (with an amazing deviation to their Return of the King animated film), the attempts to make the Hannah-Barbera Godzilla animated series as close to the Japanese as possible while dealing with rights issues and standards and practices, economic turmoil leading to a downturn in movies, the differences in the Showa, Heisei, Millennium and Reiwa era, failed Marvel kaiju collaborations, the uselessness of Minya, how comics influenced kaiju (and the reverse), when Dr. Pepper made Godzilla’s world taste better, the insanity that are Toho’s Frankenstein kaiju movies, and so much more. Earmuffs as usual, this is a Shawn Pryor episode, so we’re real and raw, like we should be.

Ian, Brandon and Raph then bring the episode home with some Absolute Batman talk, retro gaming through old Superman games, trading in old books, DVDs and games to Book Off, revisiting Final Crisis, whether a Playstation 5 is worth the purchase, general Agatha All Along thoughts (spoiler-free), and more!

You can watch the video version here:

Episode 218: Krakoa Post-Mortem

Leave a comment

A new era of X-Men is upon us! And in order to get there, we must put the Krakoa era firmly to bed. Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph are joined by a resident X-pert, Corwin Crowl of Earth’s Mightiest Podcast and its sister podcast EMX, to explain as much of this long-running storyline as we can, including what Krakoa is, how many different Krakoas there were, and what it eventually became. Did it conclude the way we wanted, and are we anticipating what’s to come? How many Beasts are there? Did Xavier ever take off the helmet, even to shower? Listen in and find out, bub. Spoilers ahoy, especially for X-Men #700, so be warned!

Episode 215: X-Men ’97 Season 1 Review

Leave a comment

We’re back at it, baby! A new era of the Comic Timing begins here, as we try and get things a bit more regular here. We begin as Ian, Brent, Raph, Donovan, Brandon, Kris and Jamal convene to give an in-depth and spoiler-filled review of an animated series nearly thirty years in the making, X-Men ’97! The first season as a whole is discussed here, so if you haven’t watched the show, definitely give this a watch first before checking out this episode. There’s also plenty of random and related deviations along the way, discussion on X-Men comics related to the series, the animated series going in directions we never expected it to go, The Twelve, reminding us all just how complicated sixty years of X-Men continuity truly is, The Twelve, where we may be headed in Season Two, comparisons to the Invincible animated, reminders that Jubilee was once a vampire, The Twelve, and so much more.
