Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And if there’s anything that fanboys love, it’s debating what book is better than another book or which character is “cooler.” Enter Countdown, a monthly episode where Greg and Nick will each give a top five list and debate the merits therein. In preparation for the coming release of the movie “Justice League,” the boys offer their respective lists of the five best issues of writer Geoff Johns’ five-year stint on the Justice League comic book.

Ragnarok approaches! That means it’s time to look back on the previous Thor film and…try to make it better. The guys Re-Book Thor: The Dark World using the best method possible: removing all the Earth elements from it! But, is The Dark World all bad? Does it have some of the best moments in MCU history? Did anybody really notice that Fandral had been recast? Shazam! Is what Gomer Pyle would say to that. The guys just hope you enjoy it. And stay tuned for a look ahead to Thor: Ragnarok!

On this edition of Go Home in a Box, Chris & Joel put a spotlight on Happy Death Day, the #1 box office sci-fi/horror film that may be of interest to you comic book nerds, because it was written by Scott Lobdell! Then they go back in time just a bit to the 90s for discussion of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. First things first, however, as they have a slew of new releases on blu-ray/dvd including Spider-Man: Homecoming, War of the Planet of the Apes and the 80s cult favorite Rolling Vengeance. When all is said and done, Joel stands tall for another round of Stump Joel movie trivia.
