Listen to ‘Gobbledygeek’ Episode 328, “Y: The Last Man – Vol. 9: Motherland”

Art from ‘Y: The Last Man – Vol. 9: Motherland’ by Pia Guerra, José Marzán, Jr., and Zylonol.

Gobbledygeek episode 328, “Y: The Last Man – Vol. 9: Motherland,” is available for listening or download right here and on iTunes here.

Yorick’s gang (there’s gotta be a snappier name, right?) inch closer to destiny in Y: The Last Man – Vol. 9: Motherland, as Paul and Arlo near the end of their Four-Color Flashback discussion of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s beloved comics series. The boys once again rehash their frustrations with putting this series under the occasional monthly microscope, leading Arlo to posit that maybe different books are different kinds of great. Then Paul hashes out the most plausible explanations Vaughan has presented for the manpocalypse, and whether any of them catch the boys’ fancy. Plus, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is more fun than it has any right to be, and it looks like Red Sparrow may be the Black Widow movie Marvel has denied us.

Next: the boys go through the looking glass with season 4 of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror, joined by first-time guest Sarah Kosheff.

Listen to Episode 140, “Our Pain, Your Gain”

Gobbledygeek episode 140, “Our Pain, Your Gain” is available for listening or download right here, and on iTunes here.

For the third annual “Paul and AJ Make Each Other Watch Awful Movies” event (man, we need a better title), the boys forced each other to fork over cash for Michael Bay’s latest, Pain & Gain. While the film is blessedly better than, say, Transformers, it’s still pretty terrible…the only question is how terrible. A surprising amount of mileage is gotten out of that question. Plus, AJ raves about The Place Beyond the Pines and Paul almost died on a backroad somewhere.

Next: freestyle madness, perhaps with an old friend!
