Traders Of The Lost Arcs - Daredevil: Dark Art (Parts I - V)

We didn’t plan it this way, but the Traders are back with our second consecutive episode with a pick from 2016! Is the year just THAT special and rewarding? With our longest ever round-up of books also on sale, the comics market for these last five months of the year would seem to present a slightly different picture. But it’s a segment with a purpose, for where better to bury the increased influence of Marvel’s Inhumans, who play a not-altogether welcome role in this show’s selection: Daredevil (vol. 5) #10-14! DD’s new creative team of writer Charles Soule and artist Ron Garney have some big shoes to fill in the departing, critically acclaimed Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. With characters like Blindspot and Muse making a big splash, we evaluate how they’re faring in this representative story arc. Is Muse a worthwhile addition to Daredevil’s traditionally unimpressive rogue’s gallery? Do the Inhumans add anything to this story? And are we eager to explore this status quo further? Join Tim, Andy, Scott, and Shawn on this edition of Traders of the Lost Arcs where we unpack some truly DARK ART! Featuring bonus rants on Zack Snyder’s DCU and the shitshow that was Death of X.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 405, 406, & 407 - The Waverly Wonders/Galaxy High School/Mrs. Columbo

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we go back to school while looking at a future starship captain play detective.
 
First, legendary NFL quarterback Joe Namath's last stop in his illustrious career brought him to Los Angeles, with the Rams in 1977.  The next year, one of his first post-retirement gigs was on The Waverly Wonders, which was very reminiscent of a popular show on another network at the time.  Just over a month later, the show got canceled. Its replacement, however, would last over 7 years.
 
Then, a bookish girl & a jock are selected to attend high school in space. An up-and-coming movie scribe & a legendary anime studio are chosen to bring them to life. What started as a Saturday morning failure turned into a cult classic. Strap in and hold on as we round out this year’s Back to School special with a trip to Galaxy High School.
 
Finally, Columbo was an NBC staple in their Mystery Movie rotation throughout most of the 70s.  When the network went on a huge decline at the end of the decade, NBC tried anything to get viewers including a non-canonical spinoff.  At least we got to see a young Captain Janeway.

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 403 & 404 - Dynaman/Jennifer Slept Here Revisited

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Power Rangers in America and revisit one of our earliest shows.
 
First, thirty years ago, Haim Saban brought the Super Sentai to the US, and Power Rangers was born... but before THAT, a similar series was brought to the US purely for laughs and/or played-up stereotypes. We look back on the show that was Dynaman, who brought it to life, and what exactly a main squeeze is.
 
Then, early on in this podcast's life, we originally covered Jennifer Slept Here, but it was one of the few episodes Greg missed.  He had things to say about this show.  Thus, we are revisiting another episode from early on.
