Get your thinking caps on brunch buddies! With Mike off enjoying the delights of the CGS Super Show, Bill and Micah travel through tangent city on their way to discussing comics, novels, movies, tv and food. In between some enlightening discussions on script writing and public education, they talk about great titles such as Ian Churchill’s “Marineman”, James Stokoe’s “Orc Stain”, Walt Simonson’s Thor Omnibus, and more delicious books with pictures in. Micah, being too lazy to look at pictures recounts Jasper Fforde’s “The Last Dragonslayer” and his “Thursday Next” series as well as Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy of books. It was an exciting week of movies with “Fast Five”, the “Social Network” and John Woo’s “Paycheck”. In the TV we cover get serious with “Game of Thrones” and “Dr Who”, and laugh a bit at “Parks and Rec.” All this with a healthy side of Sprat Pate. Tune in and enjoy.

We kick off the show with a rousing spoilerific (and explicit) critic of Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist! Do you know what the ending means? We don’t! Then we do a full 180, and review the titillating action flick Bitch Slap, and the rather strange Gentlemen Broncos! Surveillance does; I hate those. We also discuss Survival of the Dead, The Social Network, Bitten, Shutter Island, and Catfish. Then we move on to reviews of many of the new TV shows, including Hawaii 5-0, Raising Hope, Outsourced, Chase, S* my Dad Says and the new seasons of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Brave and the Bold, and Clone Wars. Then we’re on to comics with reviews of Ode to Kirihito, Taskmaster #1, Tumor HC, Chew Volume 2, Victorian The Undead, Crossed, Hack Slash, and Superf*ckers! Join Mike, Bill, and Micah on one of our most vulgar episodes ever! Plus, pot roast! And which sugar is best for you! We also bring up how to teach kids sports.
