Guests, Greatness, and Guilty Pleasures: After Dark
We continue our conversation wherein we defend our tastes after experiencing audio problems. Also, lots of superheroes.

As we said before, this is a continuation of our conversation in Episode 5. We had an issue during the playback of the podcast that rendered the audio at too low of a volume. We also took a LONG digression where we just talk about comics. So, if you've enjoyed any of our other discussions (or share Chris's intense love of DC live-action shows), you'll enjoy this one.

Guests, Greatness, and Guilty Pleasures
Today we sit down to discuss the exceptions that prove the rule of our amazing tastes. Ed loves both the Speed Racer and Josie & The Pussycats movies, and he wanted to find out what movies (et. al) the other guys like, despite the public opinion that they're shitty.

After two straight weeks of religious talk (with a third episode still to come), we decided to dial it back a bit and go with a less intense subject. After the small talk and pleasantries, we sit down to discuss something of the utmost importance: are movies bad just because someone else decided they were? Is Ed really that bizarre because he loves Speed Racer? Has Chris lost his mind because he doesn't see why Bram Stoker's Dracula currently has a 79% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Can James be forgiven for enjoying the Ang Lee's Hulk?

This is the second part of our four-hour discussion on religion. This one has a greater focus on the interaction between members of the same faction, as we tackle the way religious leaders communicate their faiths. There's also talk of morality, its origins, and why religion can be good (if not necessary) for some people. As always, we're not experts, but we try to speak clearly and honestly about the way we see the world and how people manifest their ideas and ideals. So, while Ed speaks as though his statements are fact, take them with a grain of salt. If there are any concerns or comments, please feel free to leave them below or email us.

I bet you took a look at that file size or the track time and thought, "Wow, this one's kinda short."
Wrong.
This is Part One of the 4.5 hour long discussion we had on religion and various related topics. Ironically (or not), it became more of a discussion of some of the problems non-religious people have with the concept. We start off by discussing what our personal beliefs are and just go on from there. We try to explain our hangups in a clear, respectful way, lacking condescension. If we fail, let us know in the comments or email us. Likewise, if we're wrong. It's all about having the conversation.

This is the second part of the three hour discussion that we started off last episode with and it's pretty much all comics and comic related stuff in this one. We talk about path of superhero movies as they relate to the source material, why Wonder Woman might be a leading weapon when it comes to equality in film, why people should stop holding comic adaptations to their own imaginary standards, and why DC and Marvel can't stop with the crises.
Admittedly, there's a lot we mentioned but didn't get through, like the way women are being treated in the industry, the fact that not all comic books are superhero books, and adaptations of comic books outside of just film and television. Fortunately, It looks like we're gonna be here for a long time, so we'll have time to tackle some of that other stuff.
