Fan X Fan Show: 'Suicide Squad' Review (w/ Ted Colunga of Countdown City Geekcast)

No Flash, No Preacher... no problem!  DC messed around and put out a hit, so it's only right we take the time to break down the rights, wrongs, high and lows of 'Suicide Squad'!  This week, my guest Ted Colunga of the 'Countdown City Geekcast' and I discuss lost high school years, how binge watching affects family time, and the greatness that is the Comic Con experience.  After the formalities, we talk some 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman v. Superman', his undying optimism, and my everlasting pessimism, on our way to 'Suicide Squad'.  We get into Will Smith's return to the summer blockbuster, what could have been with Tom Hardy, the new Joker/ Harley dynamic, and ALL THE THINGS THEY LEFT ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR!  You'll hear us pray to the altar of Viola Davis, admit 'Avengers 2' was kinda trash, and try to figure out how to get BET 'Uncut' in 2016 on this week's Fan X Fan Show!

Fan X Fan Show: 'Preacher' 110 - "Call and Response"

Wow.  That's it.  The show I've personally been anticipating for years just finished it's first season run.  Travis and I talk expectations vs. reality on a variety of levels as we cover not only the season finale, but the first season as a whole.  "Call and Response" is the proper sendoff for those wanting to get to the meat of the comics, while also giving our home city of Annville it's proper due. Yes, I'm being short because this is better said aloud this time.  A full review, some time to thank all of our great guests, a bit of our post 'Preacher', pre- 'Flash' plans, some 'Suicide Squad' and a comic you NEED TO READ on this week's Fan X Fan Show!!!

Fan X Fan Show: 'Preacher' 109 - "Finish the Song"

He's back! After a week with his OTHER friends in the American Midwest, Travis is back to reading comics and talking shop with yours truly! We touch a bit on his time at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (for the full story, listen to the 7/27/16 edition of the PW Torch East Coast Cast) and travels along the way. We talk a bit about the episode he skipped out on (thanks Trevor) before getting the visually stunning penultimate episode that was "Finish the Song". Jesse escapes custody, and eats "under the bridge brunch" with the locals. Tulip escapes her babysitting duties, and proceeds to see about a man in Albuquerque. And Emily escapes the lame she was seeing, who Cassidy, in turn, sees and eats. IT'S ALL RELATIVE! Jesse makes peace with Cassidy, Quincannon prepares for his greatest victory, and we go to Hell like 45 times. Deblanc does his best goalie impression, The Sheriff eases a bit of built up stress... and we'll never look at PetSmart the same way again on this week's Fan X Fan Show!
