Once again Matt and Chris drag their massive vacume tube powered recordamophone down to Than Wheeler’s Pub.  This time the meet up with Dan and Colin, the co-creators of the Trees and Hills Comic Group.

This week, we review the new movie available on Roku, BIG FAN, starring Patton Oswalt and have so much fun doing it that we unintentionally also review YOUTH IN REVOLT.  We verbally assault Kick Ass, the movie and the comic, but Matt actually convinces Chris that Mark Miller still has more cred than Chris Cornell and a bottle of crystal skull vodka combined.

Listen to Matt react indifferently to the some of the greatest superhero comics of all time.

Listen to Chris furiously rage against the sad state of comics dealers in the state of Upper Valley and the physical realm.

Learn what is the most embarrassing comics in our collections, our favorite Santas, and the biggest mistakes we’ve ever made in comics… this week.

It turns out it takes more than two to make a thing go right. Here’s a list:

The Wrestler (http://www NULL.imdb NULL.com/title/tt1125849/) (movie)

Oh Yeah, and apparently we make the sinful mistake of saying Jim Belushi (http://www NULL.veoh NULL.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v15795323Aa7DNdWA#) instead of Jon.  Such errors are the reason he has a career at all. It was a stupid mistake, we were drunk, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.  We’re sorry.

Matt and Chris build a better lightbox using discounted LED Xmas netting and prefrosted plexiglass.  It’s amazing what you can do with some scrap wood, staples, liquid nails, and nothing better to do.

Matt and Chris puss out of doing a proper episode by reusing content they produced for another netcast. Does this even count as an episode? The real question is “how did they last five episodes before copping out?”.

Super double-sized hour-long episode! This time was sit down for tacos with Cat Garza and Casey Bohn, We share some cartooning tips that we’ve found to be useful, we geek out over all the new channels for the Roku. Low points consist of Matt trying to explain the plot of Casanova to Chris but it reaches a high when both reveal a hidden fixation with Betty Rubble.  Dig in.
