Episode 66: Prez and Heathen

Nick Hemsing
December 14, 2015

Star Wars marathons can wreck a person. Both Nick and Brock had one this weekend but Brock was smart and broke it up into a couple days. Nick started having a few drinks during the prequels recording episode early the next morning was, perhaps, ill advised. However, the show must go on! This week, Star Wars kicks off the show and you could bet your Boba Fett boxers that it will come up a few times in the next few podcasts. This doesn’t really need to be said but, wow, the prequels don’t age well. DC surprised both our pedantic... View Article

Episode 65: Alex + Ada and Captain Macbastard

December 7, 2015

The holidays always throw a wrench in the recording schedule but Nick and Brock could pass up talking about the dark spectacle that is the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. Put that right up against the Captain America: Civil War trailer and the contrast between DC and Marvel’s approaches is very clear. Near future stories are fascinating for Nick. Today’s feature review, Alex + Ada from Image Comics, should be right in that wheelhouse. The common sci-fi genre of humans experimenting and coming into conflict with artificial intelligence still has a wealth of territory to explore. Does this... View Article

Episode 64: God is Dead and Lazarus

November 16, 2015

Nick is a podcasting sadist. So, when Brock sends a text saying that the book he originally selected for this week’s comic book podcast is of less than decent quality, Nick did the only thing he could possibly do. Make that bastard keep reading the entire damn volume. In a not entirely unrelated note, this week Brock and Nick review God is Dead (and no one cares. If there is a hell, I’ll see you . . .). Hmmm. A Nine Inch Nails binge could be on the horizon for Nick. Well, suffice it to say, these not entirely unplucky... View Article

Episode 63: The Life After and Hanged Man

November 2, 2015

It must be getting colder where Brock is because it’s two podcasts in a row! Brock’s going to peddle the some crap he hasn’t released yet and, as if by some magic, Star Wars isn’t mentioned once! Since this is a comic book podcast, though, these two very un-plucky podcasters get back to taking on two books this week. First up we have The Life After, published by Oni Press. A fun romp through the afterlife with Ernest Hemingway sounds like the best way end Halloween weekend! Nick suggested this one after receiving it from the monthly trade delivery service...

Episode 62: Bitch Planet

Nick Hemsing
October 26, 2015

Nick and Brock took on yet another Image comic in this week’s comic book podcast: Bitch Planet. This over-the-top satirical sci-fi book about the feminist movement doesn’t pull punches. What will these two plucky podcasters think of the book? Of course, the CCCP podcast wouldn’t be complete without at least one mention of Star Wars. Then again, it’s pretty difficult to escape at least one mention of Star Wars anywhere you go nowadays. Brock is excited to announce his newest project: Time Dick!
