PTBN's NBA-Team- DNP (Did Not Podcast)
Mar 28, 2017
Mar 28, 2017
1 hr 12 min
After a long, March Madness-induced break from the NBA, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back and ready to talk all things pro hoops, even though many superstar players would rather sit this one out. Is there a fairly simpler solution to the DNP-Rest epidemic that is sweeping the league? (Hint: It involves losing games) Why is Adam convinced that the Phoenix Suns, despite Devin Booker's historic 70-point performance, are having a worse season than the NEts? Riche and Adam also talk about the Piston's struggles, the suddenly tight race at the top of the East (or is it really?), the muddled bottom of the West, and much more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

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 column where Greg and Nick will each give a top five list and debate the merits therein.
Wolverine Month rolls on as the boys take a look back at Cal Dodd's iconic voice portrayal of the Ol' Canucklehead and count down their favorite episodes of the 1992 X-Men animated series! From mysterious cabins to "sinister" villains, this countdown is filled with power ... INCREDIBLE POWER!

Welcome to Sellers Points, where long-time friends and comic nerds Russell and Kelley use every episode to tell you about the best in comics and comics adaptations along with their own brand of “award-winning” analysis.
Wolverine month concludes with a look back at the largely-missed 2009 animated series, Wolverine and The X-Men. The guys talk about what made the show work, why they think it didn’t get a second season and only get on one brief Walking Dead rant. Nope, no dumpster diving here, this one is all about the awesomeness of Wolverine and his surprising leadership abilities in what could have been a classic animated show. And as a bonus, there’s even a brief review of the new film, Logan. *Spoiler Alert* they may have been fond of it.

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 their love of comics isn’t limited to the page. In Off the Page, Greg and Nick will examine pieces of comic book media outside the comics themselves.
Wolverine Month continues to roll on, as this week the boys take a look at the character's oft-maligned first solo film, Gavin Hood's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." How does a movie with performances as good as those of Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber manage to fall apart? Why does everyone call Wolverine "Logan" when they know his real name? And what does an adamantium bullet have in common with Superman II?

Timothy’s two podcasts collide this week as the guest is none other than the host of TWIW Indie & Int’l & Space City! Pete Schirmacher (aka shoe @titansowrestlin). The now former co-host of Titians of Wrestling gets into his upbringing, becoming the wrestling fan he is today, his analytical side, his jock side, his sci-fi side, & his ruckus-causing side. Even Timothy gets to know Pete better even after doing a weekly podcast with him all this time.

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. Over the course of their travels through comicdom, they have encountered numerous stories via the wonder of trade paperbacks and graphic novels. Once a month, Nick and Greg will review one of those collections in The Longbook Hunters.
Wolverine Month begins on the Hard-Traveling Fanboys, as we take a look at Marvel's ongoing Old Man Logan series. In particular, we go on a Longbook Hunt to discuss the first collected edition, titled "Berzerker." How do the critically acclaimed Green Arrow creative team of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino adapt to the (really) Ol' Canucklehead? Also, will Greg survive the episode?
