Funko Pops with Adam Williamson (Boldly Viewing)

09/06/20 • 41 min

My wife says no Funko Pops for me, at least not if I'm paying for them. She lets me get video games and comics, so I guess I can't complain. But since I was shutdown before I could even express any kind of interest in getting some I never really looked into them.

That's where Adam Williamson comes in. I learn some about the history of these big headed little dudes, how he gets away with having so many, and just what I'm missing out on.

Learn such things as:

How do you get DC and Marvel to play nicely together?
Where did this whole thing start?
I'm saving how much money by not buying these!?
And so much more!

You can find Adam on Twitter @thepariaheffect or on his soon to be coming podcast Boldly Viewing.

Spider-Man Lethal Foes with Adam Messinger

Sometimes Japan gets something super cool that we don't. Alright, that happens all the time. But in this case it really sucks because it's a good Spider-Man game based on a comic mini series and it really wouldn't have taken much to get it ready to come out over here.

Listen in as Adam Messinger comes to talk about Spider-Man Lethal Foes and we cry over the fact that this game never got a proper US release.

Learn such things as:

Why do villains keep trying to work together?
Seriously, is it that hard to let someone else use a thing before you sell it?
Does this story arc even really need a game?
And so much more!

You can find Adam on Twitter @AdamSMessinger, Instagram @adamsmessinger, A live performance called Adam S. Messinger is a Jerk on Bandcamp, on Twitch @AdamSMessinger, and a comic he write called The Amazing Fist (link goes directly to a MediaFire download page).

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure with David Weinberger (Shonen Flop)

It's not often that I've seen a comic really follow along an entire family tree. Maybe a bit down the line but generation after generation after generation after..... well, you get the idea. Too bad I'm not a expert on the Jostar family legacy.

Good thing David Weinburger from Shonen Flop who thankfully is all over this one. Things will probably get a bit bizarre.

Learn such things as:

When do family naming conventions go too far?
Am I crazy for thinking the anime art was made using Jolly Ranchers?
Why am I forcing David to learn Japanese
And so much more!

You can find David on Twitter @davidmwein or check out Shonen Flop website and on Twitter @ShonenFlopCast.
