Rob, Pax, and I talk about what we've been listening to and reading lately, leading to topics like the intersection of faith and feminism, different approaches to film podcasting, the novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Bono's memoir Surrender, Pax's reaction to Rob and my Ghost Protocol episode, Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely, ‘90s Batman comics, and Batmobiles in general.

After Lunch | Evan's Marvel Comics Reboot

Evan wasn't able to join us last episode when Rob, Jody Collins, and I rebooted Marvel Comics, so in this episode, I ask Evan about his ideas for all-new versions of Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Hulk, Daredevil, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.

Hellbent for Letterbox | Comanche Moon (2008)

Pax and I return to the world of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove with the chronologically second mini-series in the saga, Comanche Moon, starring Steve Zahn, Karl Urban, Linda Cardellini, Elizabeth Banks, Melanie Lynskey, Wes Studi, and Val Kilmer.

Plus: quick thoughts on Robert McCammon's Trevor Lawson books and the movies Station West (1948) and Westward the Women (1951).

After Lunch | Marvel Comics Reboot

Back in Episode 165, we speculated what Marvel Comics might be like if they took a year off from publishing superhero comics and focused on other genres instead. In this sequel episode, Rob, Jody Collins, and I return to imagine how Marvel might reboot their most classic superhero series with brand new, completely different concepts and characters. Evan wasn't able to join us for this one, but stay tuned for an upcoming episode in which he reveals his own ideas for reboots of all eight series.

And stay tuned at the end of this episode for important information about the After Lunch dress code.

Seriously Felicity | The Depths

Kristi and I take the subway, eat too many burgers, and deal with a rude customer.

After Lunch | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)

Rob and I continue our journey through the Mission: Impossible films with the fourth in the series, Brad Bird's Ghost Protocol

Hellbent for Letterbox | Hang 'Em High (1968)

Pax and I talk about the Clint Eastwood classic, Hang ‘Em High. It’s the revenge movie that’s about so much more than just revenge

Plus: Blazing Guns On The Chisholm Trail by Borden Chase, The Further Adventures of Zorro by Johnston McCulley, The Mark of Zorro (1940), and Zorro comics by Matt Wagner, Francesco Francavilla, and Cezar Razek.

After Lunch | OK Connery (1967)

Rob, Karen Flieger, and I take a detour from the main James Bond series to watch Italy's OK Connery (aka Operation: Kid Brother) starring Sean Connery's younger brother as a famous secret agent's younger brother who's pulled into a spy caper. Thanks to the super popularity of Goldfinger and Thunderball, lots of Bond spoofs and rip-offs came out around this time, but OK Connery is unique for including iconic actors from the actual Bond movies, including Lois Maxwell, Bernard Lee, Daniela Bianchi, Adolfo Celi, and Anthony Dawson. But is it any good? Our panel may not all agree.
