We're back with another Super Tuesday Recap. This time we have the whole crew with us and it becomes very obviously, very quickly why we're all not allowed to do Super Tuesday Recaps together. We're reviewing episodes 4 (Royal Dragon), 5 (Take Shelter) and 6 (Ashes, Ashes) of Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix. You're not going to want to miss this episode. There's plenty of corny jokes (mainly from Kriss), lusting over eye candy, Karen Page hot takes & defenses and more. Contact Us:

The #PodcastWeek hangover is REAL, but we're back in the saddle talking about the Great White Hype, and all the other sports news worth talking about this week. We break down the 'fight' of the century, the dire prospects of the UFC going forward, the NBA's continued shift to a 12 month league, and when are we allowed to NOT stick to sports. Also, join our NFL Pick 'Em group over at ESPN to win prizes (maybe) or just lose to me (probably). Topics:

We're back with a normal Super Tuesday Recap this week. We're reviewing the first three episodes of Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix. We're switching up our reviews for Netflix shows this time and we're breaking out our reviews of series into multiple episodes. This first review will cover the first three episodes (The H Word, Mean Right Hook & Worst Behavior). Overall we enjoyed the first three episodes, particularly how they bring the heroes together and carry on from where each hero left off in their solo adventures. Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter are clearly the heavy hitters here in terms of acting and carrying their scenes. But we do think that Fin Jones is much improved in this series and pairing him with Michael Colter's Cage is when both characters shine the most. We also talk about the messiness of the relationships on the show, a possible better order for the solo movies to fit into Defenders better and what feels off about Simone Missick's Misty Knight. Check out the full review and make sure you subscribe to Super Tuesday Recap on iTunes, Stitcher or Google Music. Contact Us:

We took a little break but we’re finally back with another Character Corner. We still have to finish up our Peter Parker series but we wanted to take a bit of a detour from Marvel and head over to DC and cover one of the most confusing comic book character histories ever: Hawkman. Now you may be asking yourself “Why Hawkman? Why now?” And that’s a very valid question. Why would we tackle one of the most confusing comic book characters of all time at this point? The answer is simple: Scott Snyder’s Dark Knights: Metal. Snyder wrote an incredible 52 issues of Batman during New 52 and he’s now back with a series that not only answers questions about Batman but also Hawkman, Nth Metal and the rest of the DC Multiverse. While it’s a daunting task to take on Hawkman’s history (one that rarely works out), Snyder definitely has our attention with the first issue of Metal, as well as the preludes Dark Days: The Forge and The Casting. Key Issues:

One of my goals at Awesome Con this year was to find and highlight creatives of color who were engaged in inspiring and interesting pursuits. There were so many individuals at the convention this year involved in outreach and development. I was able to sit down with two representatives from a few of these organizations. PBS Media Creative Director Naseed Gifted talked to me about the organization and their new graphic novel PB Soldier, which Gifted created. The novel is drawn and colored by Abel Garcia. PB Soldier follows Nat Cummings, a hacker turned government operative who finds himself in the middle of an intrigue he must extract himself from before it is too late. Billed as The Bourne Identity meets V is for Vendetta, Cummings' adventures takes him and the reader all over the world. We also discuss the importance of representation and connecting youth with the material that they are interested in by cultivating their interest in creating art. Find out more about their graphic novel and their outreach efforts by visiting their website at www.pbsmediastudios.com. Art Way Alliance Communications Director Sierra Dangerfield-Harris sat down with me to discuss the mission of the nonprofit, it's diverse artist staff, and the importance of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) to the K-12 educational system and how their organization seeks to promote this creativity in youth of the D.C. area. If you would like to assist or have their artists visit your venue, information is available at their website at www.artwayalliance.org. I hope you enjoy the interviews with these engaged and talented individuals.
