#36 - Sony-So-Far-Verse

We had another episode idea slated and sketched out, but with the new Morbius trailer - and the thoughts that come along with - we switched things up and tossed out the episode outline.
This is a little bit different: no script, no show prep, no notes - we just have a discussion about the new trailer, the Sony-Spider-Movie-Verse, the relationship with Marvel Studios, their other planned movies, and what it all might mean through the drunken lenses of us,. D'Lethal Weapons.

Batman TAS: Two-Face Pt 1 & 2 [Bottle Cap Review]

It has been a long time coming, but we have finally bottle capped a Batman TAS arc: Two-Face Pt 1 and 2. Arguably the best cartoon from our childhood, this story takes place across season 1, episodes 10 and 11, and is the birth/beginning of Harvey Dent's full transformation into Big Bad Harv A.K.A. Two-Face.
How does Batman deal with his mentally ill friend turning full heel, while crime rings around Gotham grow stronger and more bold? Check it out with us

#35 - Twelve Death Days

Merry Christmas!
This was supposed to be our very festive Christmas episode, where we twist the 12 days of Christmas into the 12 days of comic book deaths.... But, our December was a mess, and so you guys are all getting this wonderfully joyous episode later than anticipated. And you'll like it too, goddammit.
In this one, we talk about and rate (because we're morbid like that) a dozen different character deaths spanning Marvel and DC comics; from Jason Todd to Wolverine to Nightcrawler and Black Adam, hit play to hear it all.
 

Gideon Falls Vol 1: The Black Barn [Arc Analysis #7]

There are SO. MANY. BOOKS.
And because of that, we are breaking away from our usual episodes, and bringing you the first (of many) independent Arc Analysis series episodes.
The first one up - or 7th if you've been keeping up - is the creepy and moody Image Comics' Gideon Falls: The Black Barn (issues #1 to #6) buy Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. We break it down inside, and are quite split on the series: listen in to find out why... Unless you're some wanker who doesn't like us. Give us another chance, man!

#30 - Doom Patrol & Umbrella Academy [Across the Pages]

Across the Pages (AxP) is our series where we take two similar-ish characters/teams/concepts from different creators or publishers and give their various forms of media a well-deserved spotlight.
This time, we've got a couple uncanny teams to talk about: Doom Patrol and the Umbrella Academy. One of them a group of super-powered "siblings" collected from all over the world at birth, the other a group of misfits and mishaps. We give our thoughts on both first seasons of the shows for each property, as well as an arc from each comic book history: Doom Patrol's Crawling from the Wreckage and Umbrella Academy's Apocalypse Suite.

Spider-Man TAS: The Mutant Agenda [Bottle Cap Review]

Spider-Man the Animated Series from the mid-90's is always going to hold a special place in our hearts because we grew up with it. The perfect spider-man personality and we can't help but compare other versions of the character to this one.
The Mutant Agenda and Mutant's Revenge are episodes 4 and 5 in of the second season, and in this bottle cap, we go in on them. It's an epic crossover event of X-Men being pulled into Spider-Man's hometown of Queens. How could this not be a perfect review, right? We go in. Enjoy!

#28 - Ren Hoek & Stimpson J. Cat

Happy Happy Joy Joy!
Here at Comic Patrol, as long as it has a comic book adaptation, we talk about it. Guess what? Ren & Stimpy DO have a comic series... We just don't talk about it at all in this episode (p.s. No sir... we don't like it). What we do talk about here includes the background of the trailblazing, animated series, the best episodes it did put out, and our favourite episodes of the show (amongst other things).
Joyyyyyyy

Spider-Man TAS: The Insidious Six [Bottle Cap Review]

Spider-Man the Animated Series from the mid-90's is always going to hold a special place in our hearts because we grew up with it. The perfect spider-man personality and we can't help but compare other versions of the character to this one.
The first 2 episodes of the second season, we are introduced to the Insidious Six (Sinister wasn't allowed to be used on a kid's show - so says censorship). Add in the fact that Spider-Man is experiencing bouts of losing his powers, he has to take on a group of his rogues at once. This is our bottle cap review of this 2 episode arc.

X-Men TAS: The Dark Phoenix Saga [Bottle Cap Review]

If you grew up in the 90's, you probably watched The X-Men Animated Series. If you never did, the eff is wrong with you?
The Dark Phoenix Saga was a 4 episode stretch that was pulled from the comic books arc which lasted MUCH longer... Take a dive with the Weapons to see if it was or is worth a couple of cold ones.
